You know you're a stitcher when . . .

You are sending out an email to your kid's sports team and you identify yourself as "that person who is always stitching something"!

Love it!!! And so appropriate, too. Better than a lot of other things one could be identified as! LOL!

You Know You're A Cross-Stitcher When. You think the X-Files is a show about cross-stitching.

Your car knows how to get to Michael's all by itself. (My son is named Michael, but he's not named after * that * Michael.)

You hear on the news that the police confiscated a large stash from a suspect's house and wonder when floss possession became illegal.

You know that UFO really stands for UnFinished Object and have no idea what those NASA people are talking about.

You get party invitations with "please leave stitch projects at home" written under the RSVP line.

Your family finds floss tails in their dinner.

You missed boarding your airplane because you had to finish off one more section.

You realize you should have bought Rubbermaid stock.

You see a brilliant rainbow and know the DMC numbers for each colour.

You have new floss release dates written in your daytimer. (Who me?)

you check Quicken to see how much you've spent on framing in the last few years - before you dare to deliver another project to 'em. My little bit of trickery - be sure to charge only half the fee to your credit card BEFORE your billing date, then pick up the item and charge the rest of it on the next billing cycle, so dh might get fooled by the exact amt. appearing on two receipts, if he sees only one, that is.

you have to vack ev. few days to get up the floss or wool ends from around your work area.

your right index finger isn't too straight any longer.

No DH left to have to fool so nope.

Heh, I have to vacuum daily!

Adn I don't think my right index finger ever was straight, but I'll gladly blame the stitching!! LOL

Bingo! Mr. Flaky was just as happy to let me handle the family bookkeeping because *I* remembered to get the checks in on time (which he never did), so unless he accompanied me into LNS, he had no idea how much I spent. After all, how much could a bag the size of a $2 greeting card possibly have cost to fill up?

And if you occasionally "let" him pick up a 24c skein of DMC at Le Mart du Wal, he learns that all your threads cost 24c, whether they're Kreinik, overdye, or silk.

Now if we could only make that true all the time..... ;-))

Yes, Brenda, I did mean that all threads really should be that price all the time. Then there would be no need for husbands to "learn(s) that all your threads cost 24c, whether they're Kreinik, overdye, or silk." It would make everyone happy: stitchers get more threads, and don't have to resort to subterfuge. ;-))
