Crafty Gamers???????

I took up needle point when I was in the 6th grade. I love it, but I'm really bad about finishing anything. I think I've only completed 3 projects my whole life.

On the other end of the spectrum I've been a back seat gamer since our family bought the original Nintendo. Other then Gyromite in which I controlled the doors. I didn't play at all. I loved to watch my brother play as I excitedly (and probably annoyingly) screamed instructions on how to play. I never had any interest to actually play the games since I was too impatient with myself to gain any skills.

So you ask what do these two things have to do with one another. Well I found this whole forum (Sprite Stitch) of gamers that do craft!!! Somehow I just didn't picture it before this. But after going trough some pictures and their projects, it makes complete sense. It's like the 8-bit world and cross-stitching were always meant to be together.

Here are the projects that I found that blew me away.

If you don't recognize this, it's Zelda: A Link to the Past Map completely cross stitched by Servotron from the Sprite Stitch Board.
This happens to be one of my favorite video games.

Here's a Mario Brothers 3 Map made by Cross-stitched ninja
This totally makes me jealous. I'm so pumped to play video games and cross-stitch right now. Also makes me want to go get a DS Lite. O.o
