Day 5 - Totally Addicted to....Craft Magazines

My name is Camilla and I am addicted to craft magazines, there I said it! Each month I scour the newsagents for the latest craft magazine jam packed full of crafty projects for me to dabble in! 

Reloved
Mollie Makes
Crafty
Simply Crochet
Making
Homemaker
The list goes on.....

Thing is I've started to notice the same patterns cropping up a few months down the line in another magazine, maybe that's a sign I should stop for a bit!

I buy the magazine, flick through it, maybe read the articles and then have a proper read of all the craft projects earmarking in my mind which ones I should try next. I then store them in my magazine rack where they stay gathering dust until my magazine rack is bursting full! Then every so often I'll go through my magazines and tear out all the projects I'm interested in and arrange in piles to file at a later date or stick on the wall. Only the projects that grab my attention the most ever make it to the top of the to do pile. 

But although its expensive, averaging around £4/£5 a magazine I love it and depending on the magazine look forward to the date of the next release! I dread the day all magazines turn digital and I can no longer tear out my projects to file or stick on the wall! 

So am I alone in this crafty mag obsession? 

This months craft mags full of crochet homeware and accessories.
