Am I the Only One?

I can't be the only person that does this.  After a long stitching session, when I finally take a break, I paint my nails.  Not really sure why.  Perhaps it's that I've spent the last few hours having to look at my hands constantly.  Or maybe I just have to be doing something.  It's hard for me to take a break and do absolutely nothing.



I think part of it is, I'm forced to set down my project while they dry.  Otherwise I would sit there, examining it and wanting to fix every little thing about it that bothered me.  Stitching and stitching until it was finished or until my arm fell off.  So, whatcha think, do I seem wacky enough for you?!  Just keeping it real.

Love it!!!
Not weird, just need to let off a little creative steam.
I keep my nails done all the time, so I've got no room to talk.
After I sew, i want to look at other peoples sewing!! LOL

Doood! I do the same, not as pretty as yours though! It's a nice break from having torn up nails after all the stitching.

i'm similar, though i can't keep a manicure intact to save my life. for some reason it's the left index that goes first...

Ha, funny how some of you guys are the same! Trust me they don't look that good right now. But I've already penciled myself for a mani when I get off work tonight. I've been eying my bucket of polish for a few days now, but I just haven't had the time.

Becky and Nicky- I'll share it this weekend, promise! I stopped with about 15 minutes of stitching left, cause I'm silly like that. Got to finish it up. That's on the agenda for tonight after work too!
