I'm so in, I'll just set aside a little extra time for staring into middle distance as I work through the Things.

Here! Various versions in case anyone prefers one format over others. I used 32ct linen, 2x2 for the crosses, 1 strand for backstitch, but in hindsight kinda wish I used sewing thread for the backstitch for a finer outline at this tiny scale? The floss looks ok though!

And a couple of minor notes:

Here's that little thing I wrote for @knivesinfeet.bsky.social!!

Big Wheel Keep on Turnin' a 5785 word RV Meet-Cute

Stede Bonnet is stuck. He's BEEN stuck, stuck in his marriage, stuck in his job, his life. And now? He's stuck in his truck, a fifth wheel trailer behind him, staring down an overpass that sits far too low for him to continue down the highway. Traffic is piling up behind him, cops are swarming, and he's got no idea how to get out of this--until an angel descends from on high to save the day.
