People were never expecting it, and in fact were shocked when they caught me in action. Due to the miniature nature of the activity I always had to wear my reading glasses and that by itself induced huge distress. But I have to admit, it is much better than sleeping with the mob or singing to the president. The satisfaction a perfectly performed double intercalating cross stitch or single threaded couch can give is immense and has, at least in my opinion, been grossly underestimated.
People have never realized that the reason I was often late on the set was not my proclaimed alcohol and drug problem, oh god, no. Yes, I was addicted, but not on the chemicals. No I was addicted on my embroidery work. If I was only a hundred fern stitches apart from the final result, I simply had to finish them before I could leave my trailer. And you know what is so funny, for only $19.99 I can embroider myself nowadays.

Hihi, good to know MM!
I locked myself in the office bathroom once to finish my scoobidoo creation. Luckily for me I have no talent to stick to any thing for a longer time, not even an addiction, so I am doing better now, but I totally know what you are talking about!
