Well I say nay because I keep myself busy. How do I do such a thing you ask? Friends, I craft.
I specialize in fiber craft, knitting and crocheting. Now I know it sounds old fashioned or even boring. But it's not boring, it takes up a lot of time and focus.
Here is an example of the coolness I speak of.

So...I just sit around and crochet cute things. Crochet is fast and easy to learn. I learned by watching youtube videos The dolls take about a day per one once you get the hang of it. But you could make killer hats, blankets, cardis, scarves. Whatever you want. Pick a project that will keep your hands busy, and your mind off of that cake in the fridge. Tell your friends that you can't go out to eat with them because you have to finish a hat for someone. Go out to wal-mart and pick up some 2.00$ yarn and a 3.75 size needle. Rip up some old stuffed animals for fiber-fill or cotton. And get started.

I do that as well. On top of that I sew both costumes and day wear. I try to make one scarf for each member of my family on top of whatever present I'm going to give to them. It's my 'thoughtful' present, since we're all sort of required to give one on top of an 'easy' store bought gift. It's an amazing way to score brownie points with co-workers as well, without seeming like you're actually trying to bribe them.
True. I made a scarf for a friend and she always gets compliments so she feels special. People love one of a kind stuff! I just began learning to sew and I'm obsessed. I get a lot of inspiration from Threadbanger. So far I've made a sun dress, pet bed, hat, kitty collar, mittens and a caplet.
i LOVE crocheting- i have a list of friends waiting for hats. hahaa but i LOVE that headband you posted-- SO CUTE! keep up the skinny!
