Gonna post my #crossstitch projects here in a thread. It’s one of my creative outlets, though not really fandom adjacent yet.
This was my first ever #crossstitch project. I got a kit on Etsy (don’t remember the seller anymore sorry) and did it pretty quickly because it’s pretty small. Gave it to my platonic partner as a gift because I wanted her to have my first one.
This was my second project, which I did for myself. I’m a librarian so I had it hanging in my office while I still had one. Have since lost track of it which makes me very sad as I loved this pattern. Learning to do French knots and “sparkles” and back stitch was so cool! #CrossStitch
This was a project I did for a work thing. I used to work in an art library and our art librarian decided to set up a “Little Free Art Library”, which is like a Little free library, but instead of books you put mini art in. The art students loved it, and my little cross stitch went pretty quick! I’m not sure if this is the final picture because looking at it the final “R” of “Queer” doesn’t look like an R? But that may be the font I chose. I used two patterns from HappySloth on Etsy. #CrossStitch
Ok, back now to post the last #CrossStitch I have pictures of finished. Might post progress pics here in the future. Anyway, this is one I made for my mother for Christmas. I had started a HUGE tree of life one a year+ ago for her but haven’t made much progress because it’s huge and overwhelming, so I made her a little one to start. Flower and letter patterns are from HappySloth on Etsy.
@TheBookewyrme those are all lovely! would love to see your progress pics if you feel inspired to post some during future projects :)
@Satsuma definitely! My current project is for a friend who follows all my socials except here lol so I’ve had no place to post it. It’s also still in very early stages where it’s just a few rows 😝 But when it’s further along I’ll post for sure!
