My first KCD embroidery - about 300 hours of love <3

[ #kcd #kcd2 #kingdomcome #kingdomcomedeliverance2 #henryofskalitz #embroidery #fiberarts ]

A hand embroidered piece with a medieval style window with Henry from KCD standing in the middle in flowers with a backdrop of a field and Trosky castle. A sun is emblazzed behind him in gold thread. He's holding a sword that comes out of frame. There is a blue couched thread detailing around the outside and a shield of Liepa and Kobyla. on each side. Pebbles rears up on the left side with a saddle and Mutt is on the right chasing a bird (a motif for Hans). Embroidered on the bottom to look like an inscribed scroll are the words audentes fortuna iuvat from the game.

A close up from the bottom left of the embroidery featuring Pebbles and the "audentes fortuna" showing in detail the couched threads and the short and long stitches of Pebbles, the satin stitches around the border and the scroll with inscription.

A close up on the right with Mutt and the bird, both done in long and short stitch.

A Nobel story just popped up on one of my memories feed things. Still makes me laugh.

"They're like, 'Sir, there's something in your bag.'
I said, 'Yes, I think it's this box.' They said, 'What's in the box?' I said, 'a large gold medal, as one does.
So they opened it up and they said, 'What's it made out of?' I said, 'gold.'
And they're like, 'Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?'
"The King of Sweden.'
"Why did he give this to you?'
Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.'

Smiles for the weekend! The human said we’re going to the park… want to come along? I hope your weekend is filled with love and yummy snacks! And always spread kindness where you can… we need more of it always! ❤️ #corgi #corgicrew #corgisky

A corgi dog with golden fur stands proudly on the grass, smiling like it just heard the word “treat.” The sun lights up its face as its little legs hold up an enormous amount of joy, ready to conquer the day with pure cuteness and unstoppable charm.

"Patch of the Day."
I am pleased to introduce my new friend "Orty." 🤠👍

As you might know I've been using some of my store of thread bits with my scrap denim patches. I hate waste and have accumulated a large bag of thread ends or Orts.

That might be the last of the Japanese anemones this year. 🌱

Some Japanese anemone flowers. They have a green centre surrounded by yellow stamens, and white petals tinged with soft pink at the edges.

We took the corgis to a local orchard this afternoon.

Siggy was quite interested in the pumpkins. 😄

Ragnar did not appreciate the tractor, it was too loud. 😞

But, there was plenty of new smells, a bit of apple crumble, and a nice nap in the car.

2. A tri corgi climbs on an orange pumpkin.
3. 2 corgis sit in a wagon and smile for the camera.
4. 2 corgis are in the backseat. One is grinning with his tongue out, and the other is asleep.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

The film Nuremberg has a trailer out. The most important line from this film is "Do you know why it happened? Because people let it happen." People started complying in advance last year after the election. They let it happen. Don't be one of those people.

This part of the Nobel committee's statement hits.

www.nobelprize.org/prizes/pea...
#politics #NobelPeacePrize #politics

The image contains a text block set against a plain white background. The text reads: “When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.”

Ume, the Malayan tapir calf, isn’t exactly dainty when it comes to eating her salad behind the scenes. 🥬 Now, 8 months old and 400 pounds, she’s growing fast, and those loud crunches mean she’s getting all the greens she needs to thrive. 💗

-He watches people pass the house on a walk, but doesn't see them come back, so now he think there's a portal in that direction. Very scary.
-coughs and sneezes require a corgi rescue response or human will die
- ice cubes are the best
- can change his relationship with gravity at will

The local corgi will be 3 in a few days. Some general info about this nut case:
- must eat food in order of deliciousness with the best food first
- if he bumps something and it moves, he thinks it's alive and never to be trusted
- the best place is playing ghost under a towel

All languages be like that and it's annoying. Is it minute or minute? Read or read? Loan words in every language also stink.
