I. ADORE. CROSS-STITCHING. Mum has a book of small samplers that I want to snag and after Grandma gave me her collection of cross-stitching threads, I don't necessarily need to buy sets anymore (which is a relief because they're so expensive)
But I agree. I go crazy after a few days if I don't have anything to do. I always need to be working on something, creative or not. My brain needs an off-switch.
My aunt taught me back when I was a kid and my mum has a box of tons of different coloured threads. But I haven't had the urge to do it for years (I'm not really an arty sort of person). My mum has a book of patterns, but this time I'm designing my own
( ... )
For me the urge to cross-stitch comes and goes. I didn't do my first really big project until a couple of years ago even though I've been stitching for over ten years at this point. I really want to get into my own designs too, though I think I'm going to start with using pixel art as a pattern.
The sets are quite expensive, but The Warehouse had some Disney ones a few years ago that were muuuuuch cheaper than they normally retail for. I don't know how expensive they are at Spotlight, but certainly at sewing speciality stores you probably won't pick up anything large for less than $40.
My inability to switch of my brain has meat I've been terrible at getting to sleep for as long as I can remember :\
Yeah, the busier I am the more creative my brain gets. It's always like "This is an awesome idea for a picture and you need to draw it!" etc. at the most inconvenient times :\
