This seemed like a good question. Once again, feel free to post comments. :)

I used to have such a horrible track record with completing projects. I can count on one hand the things i've completed. . .2 beaded bracelets, 2 wood pens and one glass cardinal. Everything else is in the "to be completed" bin. Because of that, I try to stitch at least a little every day so my current projects don't fall by the wayside. And its cheaper than going out to a bar every night :P

My mom and I work at the same store and carpool, which can lead to us sometimes being there for upwards of 16 hours, so I take my current project with me and sit in the break room working on it while I either wait to start or wait for her to be done for the day.

I'm known only as "the girl who stitches in the lounge" to some people! lol

I'm the same way. I cannot sit still without having something in my hands. I'll bring whatever small project I can carry with me to school, to relative's houses, the doctor's office, even when I go out shopping because you never know!

I said once every few days (which is true at the moment) but usually it's pretty random. Just whenever I get in the mood I'll start stitching and I'll stop stitching when I get bored with it. Some days that may be, literally, from when I get up to when I go to sleep, some days it's may 20 minutes. Some days it may be every day in the week or sometimes once every couple of weeks. LOL!

I get most of my crafting done in lectures. It keeps my hands busy and lets me concentrate on what they say. Otherwise I'm a hopeless fidgit :p It does mean I stay with small projects I can take with me though. Large pieces get done very slowly watching TV, and mostly in uni breaks.

Yep, I'm just like a lot of you. Fidgeter til the end. I'm between games that I want to play right now, so I've been crafting everyday. Not to mention the insanely long list of things I want to make. So, when I'm not at work I spend all my time crafting and watching random shows on Netflix.

I can't just sit still and watch TV or movies! Usually my projects revolve around whats on Netflix and sports. I got most of my stitching done this past week while watching playoff baseball and some hockey.

I try to fit stitching in whenever I can, which is very often as of late. Between my full-time job (which is crazy at Halloween), my at-home business (which is crazy in general, trying to get my name out there) and having to eat and sleep every once in a while (lol) it doesn't leave much time for anything else. But things will calm down and I'll be able to put other stuff off and have a ME day full of stitching :)

I try to stitch a little bit every day but some days when I work I just don't feel up to it before or after.

My goal for the Epic Pokemon Gen 1 stitch is to get about 200-300 stitches done a day. That way if I do stitch everyday then there is a chance I'll complete it in a year or so
