Embroidery Addiction

I love it.

I can't stop doing it!

Insight: I'm a little OCD.
[okay, a lot]

If I start something 99.9% of the time I have to finish it immediately [video games, craft projects, cleaning an entire house..]

This is a major reason behind why I love embroidery so much. It's simple, I can do it while watching It's Always Sunny, and I can finish most small pieces in 2-3 hours.

I've been hunting online for a good source for patterns. I have one book of iron-on transfers that I really enjoy and have just started using carbon paper to trace my own (although I need significant practice).

UrbanThreads.com and SublimeStitching.com have thus far been my only great finds.

Anyone out there with suggestions for more sites please let me know!

  4. I am ocd as well, I don't feel complete unless I'm done with a project!
