Backstitch all the things! #crossstitch

I’ve stitched 2200 stitches this month and it’s only the 7th. This is going to be a good month. Streaming on twitch seems to be good for my focus. 36.5% complete. #crossstitch

It’s been a minute since I posted, but I’ve been stitching the whole time. #crossstitch

The dopamine hit from backstitching improvements really cannot be overstated. Like Odette was beautiful before, but seeing the details start to pop is the joy I needed this week. #crossstitch

Oh thank you! Mine was a labor of love bc I kept forgetting about it for months at a time haha.

To circle back around to the state fair submissions, I did extremely well! I took 1st place in partial coverage with my shire piece and 2nd place in full coverage with my Zelda map! #floridastatefair #crossstitch

It’s how I feel about my doc martins

It’s a good day when you can move the hoop and your fabric roll. 11% on Odette today, but finally feeling crafty in the void.

I wish I stitched frequently and fast enough to share pictures every day.

Soft is too vague but the peanut should still have a little bit of chew to it. But the shell is v soft. Some people put boiled peanuts in Coca-Cola and eat them as they drink.

It’s a southern tradition. You boil raw peanuts in the shell with salt and a seasoning that speaks to you for a few hours until the shell is soft, and then you eat the whole thing. Deeply satisfying comfort food.

It is cold. I am cold. How to combat this emotionally? Chicken stew straight from the crockpot. Well, that and the boiled peanuts, but who’s counting the comfort food.

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

I wasn’t made for this cold in Florida. If Mother Nature could adjust the heat outside, I’d appreciate it.

He for sure would appreciate snackrifices made on his behalf. But he’s such a sweet boy.

I’ve been working on crocheting this “baby blanket” for a while. Fred wants to claim it as his own.

I want to sleep as soundly as my cat does.

A month and a half of steady cross stitching and being diligent. Sitting at about 10% complete. But Odette is coming out gorgeous.

A majestic queen in her element.

Of course it was in the knick of time, but I’m successfully registered in the Florida state fair for my Zelda map and Shire cross stitch pieces. Drop off is in January and the fair is in February. Wish me the best of luck! #crossstitch #finishedwork

Kitty cats battling the Florida winter and looking damn good doing it.

I’m finally making some progress on Odette by Ashley Mae at #MakeItPink based on the art by @hannahartwork.bsky.social. Proudly sitting at about 7% complete 😂 #crossstitch #wip

Tolkien, Royal Navy Reserve 6:30 PM onwards RSVP if not coming postscript: - carriages at midnight - ambulances at 2 AM - wheelbarrows at 5 AM - hearses at daybreak

I can take or leave LOTR, The Silmarillion, what have you, but if he wrote nothing other than the postscript to this invitation card, J.R.R. Tolkien would have a secure place in history.

Is this Lin Manuel Miranda cosplaying as Indiana Jones in a winter climate?

Sometimes I paint Warhammer miniatures. This is Alarielle the Everqueen and I love her. #warhammer #miniature

Definitely wet it and use tweezers to remove it. That was the best advice I’ve ever been given haha.

Yes! I’m doing some final tweaks to the pattern and it’ll be released as a V2 soon on Etsy under our shop LillianaPress.

Please read books. I’m begging you.
