Oh my god! I think I’m hooked on Blog Explosion! I signed up for an account there a while back, but didn’t really start using it until the last couple of days. I don’t want to even admit how much time I spent there yesterday and today (cough *hours*) surfing other people’s blogs!
The Stitching Blogger’s Question of the Week is:
Do you find that having another distraction (music, movies, people to talk to) while stitching helps you make progress or make mistakes?
With most activities, I can’t have anything else distracting me or I lose my concentration. I must have complete silence when reading, writing, or talking on the telephone for example.
However, with stitching, since I use CDs, TV shows, or movies to help me track my stitch time, these distractions help me to make pretty good progress. The only time I find that these distractions hinder my progress is when I try to watch a movie that I haven’t seen and stitch at the same time… then I make plenty of mistakes!
Besides that, I usually stitch while I am alone and so other people don’t tend to sidetrack me. Nevertheless, when I do stitch in the presence of others, it is not they who distract me, rather it is I who distract them as I have been known to suddenly start counting out loud in the middle of a conversation!!
