I didn't get as much done as I wanted to today, but I have a really long train ride coming up (finally taking amtrak down to Oakland) - so that will give me plenty of time to get things done 🙂↕️ It's coming along nicely, though

Started a new project today! This one is the smallest of the three I'm working on, sitting at about 17,500 stitches. I've also planned it to have multiple colors. That way, when I run out, I don't have to set it aside for ages. 😅

Ran out of thread and the embroidery shop needs to order more 😭😭 The downsides of using imported silk. Time for blackwork, I guess.
The color I use for that is Gloriana's Tudor Silk in Antique Black.

Probably a good 9,500 stitches done - with 19,100 more to go. But like Fruits Basket taught me -> don't focus on the things you need to do in the future, focus on what's at your feet.

Decided to work this motif upside-down, that way the back can still be nice and clean. I expected it to be more confusing, but it's literally the exact same experience - so I'm pretty relieved. I hate when embroidery is stressful 😅

Soooooo close to finishing that left-hand tree. I have to break the bottoms into two portions to make it all fit on my hoop, but it makes it feel like it goes faster, so I'm not mad about it 🙂↕️

I'm a big believer that learning blackwork has made my cross-stitch 10,000x better. I have no data to support that claim, but I stand by it nonetheless. -

Took an embarrassingly long time to finish the tree on the right, but it's now done and we can push forward! Huzzah! Second picture is zoomed in on the new motif 🙇🏻❤️

The finished motif and my mistake. Luckily, I barely even notice it when I'm looking at it 🙂↕️ My parents always taught us to face mistakes head-on, but this one was most definitely a pain in the ass to fix and I had no option of giving up. #crossstitch #embroidery

Can yall tell that I fucked that top-right motif up? Like,,,, big time. I had to re-piece the center stuff together bc I accidentally missed a whole row and didn't notice until it was too late. Totally my fault - but it is what it is, I guess. 🙂↕️ #crossstitch #embroidery

Finished up a lot of this motif yesterday. I wanted to finished the whole left side, but sleep won the battle, unfortunately. Either way, my goal for today is to finish it up 🙂↕️ #crossstitch #embroidery

Revisiting some of my blackwork designs 😊😊 I've been making some more patterns lately, but I haven't had a chance to try them out, yet. In the meantime, here is some of my old work :'-) #blackwork #embroidery #crossstitch (ik it's not cross stitch but whateva)

I stand by my $10 embroidery hoop. I have broken hoops before due to how tight I make them, but this one has not yielded yet. I'm still wanting to get a couple extras, but god damn this thing is holding up.
It's a hardwicke manor hoop, btw. Sooo good. #crossstitch #embroidery

Same motif, different skill levels and approaches. I had to laugh when I saw the green one. Absolutely insane, genuinely.
I really did not used to care about the back of my work, but now I looooooove showing it off. It's not perfect, but it's still pretty damn good 🙂↕️ #crossstitch #embroidery
