So lately (as in the last couple days) i've been thinking about the quilt project i was going to do earlier this year that just kind of kept getting pushed aside until i ended up moving. Mostly cause i kept making excuses for things i wanted/needed to make cutting fabric easier. Well, i got everything (except a big enough table, still don't have that, but i'll have one that's going to work well enough hopefully and isn't covered in my husband's stuff), and then we decided to move (ended up being a bad choice). Well now we're getting ready to move back to where we were, and i want to pick up where i left off. So now i've been watching quilting videos and making up ideas on how to make my own patterns and what not, and it's making me lose sleep because i'm hyper fixated and my brain won't stop thinking about it because i can't scratch that itch that my brain decided to have.
Oh, i have ADHD, Which is probably why i'm so hyper fixated on this right now. I'm sure once i finish a quilt (or maybe i might surprise myself and make 2 or 3!! that would be neat...), the itch will be satiated enough for me to lose interest and not do it again for a few years. But also, maybe it will become something i can actually do!
It's also not like sewing is a common hobby for people my age/younger, so it's nice because i don't get imposter syndrome anxiety about my finished projects, like i do with drawing or writing or cooking.
What are some of your hyper fixations, how long did they last, and did you ever hyper fixate on it at an inconvenient time like when you're trying to go to sleep?
