Done! It only took four months! 😅
It’s only the third kit I’ve done, but much more challenging than the other two. (and hopefully the most challenging for a bit)
I still need to rinse the blue line. I’ve also changed to a wooden hoop but the size seems slightly smaller…

Finished embroidery kit.
The design is a mix of the Great Wave off Kanagawa and the Starry Night by Van Gogh.
The wave itself looks very detailed in clean white long and short stitches on the top, black and dark blue stripes on the underside of the wave, and a silver outline and silver highlights on the foamy part of the wave.
The sky feels messier with mixes of small stitches of varying tones of blue. The moon is in the top right surrounded by a light blue glow. You can see five stars in the form of masses of varying greens.
Finally the sky shows a big swirl of varying tons of blue in lighter shades. The swirl is also outlined with silver.
The hoop is set against a dark wood coffee table.

I’m at an In-n-Out that doesn’t have the typical layout and it got me all confused.

If you don’t mind being told about typos, I saw “locarion”.

I’m at a spot with Vim where, for how much I love it, I know my setup is poor and I’m just managing because I’m efficient with it. So much inertia to fix it though…

It’s a brilliant way of protesting and defeating the “war zone” lies.

It’s all lies on top of lies of course.

But the idea that a one-week intervention anywhere is enough to magically make crime fully disappear from any city is really absurd.

As usual follow-up questions would be nice. Where did the criminals go? Will they come back? Why not?

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Beyond impressed by the number of books read and the embroidery!

Tim Boucher @t13r.bsky.social · 6d

Exquisite!

I love how the fabric’s color becomes the dress’s color, the subtle darker blue accent on the little water dashes, and the way the rocks look like a drawing.

“2D flat” when it’s clearly going for a Penrose triangle.

I’ve been thinking about how so much of what’s happening is due to the inability of the US to get something other than a two-party system.
And one of the consequences is believing that.
