Working on Midnight Dreamer from The Wooly Ewe, using floss left over from my Pirate Robin thread pack for Cozy Nest. (Also using the thread pack for The Proper Stitcher's Merry Ewe, and likely several more projects bc WOWZA got a lot of floss!)

It's not even close to the called-for colors (except black), and I have since learned that the printed DMC 14 count should not be used with designs that have white (this extra backstitch. It's Time for Halloween from Witch's Garden Crafts, finally done.

In the Night Forest, Riolis kit. Saw this on 14ctAidaGirl's flosstube & got my own kit immediately. Really want the finished piece, but it has been a pain to stitch. I think I'm near 50%?

More letters, more sparkly! I keep thinking it will go faster, but the beads are cheap(!!!) and getting them to line up has been very. I'm loving the results, though!

Today I have the fun of wearing jeans that aren't altered yet. The pockets are laughably shallow. The waistband is too wide. There's not enough fabric in the seat. This combo means even with a belt, I need a long shirt to keep from flashing underwear if I bend or sit. At least I *can* fix them. Sigh

The pattern doesn't call for beads, but SPARKLY MUST OCCUR. Design from @screamingheart.bsky.social, hopefully fully sparkly this week.

I can't start a jackalope until I finish a jackalope (it's a necessary rule). There's nothing left but 1500+ backstitches and some cross stitch flower centers!

Dreaming of Autumn Leaves, Rosewood Manor (cropped)
Colors & Fabric: called-for
This just p. 1&2 of the full pattern. Things were duplicated/shifted to make the right side even. Disliked the fabric (too transparent), and a lot of scattered confetti. Stopping here, because I am done.
