Stabbing yourself UNDER your fingernail (OUCH!)
Losing your needles, buying new ones, then finding the old ones...with your toes (more OUCH!)
Having to replace supplies because your dog is a psycho and chewed up a lot of it while you were gone (happened twice!)
Having people see your work and wanting something for their birthday/Christmas/just because
Picking dog hair out of all of your projects because your dog is black AND white
Having to start a new piece of floss for one or two stitches at the very end of a color

On this note...getting sick of stabbing yourself with your needle and buying a thimble and realizing the thimble throws off your stitching game/feels uncomfortable/is bulky so you go back to sticking yourself with your needle. lol

Third this so hard!

Finding the perfect picture for a cross stitch and not being able to make into a pattern without it being so huge it would be useless to stitch.

Agree! My mom has asked me many times why I don't wear a thimble, and it just feels weird and and I can't stitch as well. So, I end up sticking myself. Ah well....

Glad I can thank musical instruments for calluses on my fingertips :)

Not, however, palms of hands or bottoms of feet. YOWCH.

Not enough years in your life to stitch all the big projects you want to do.
