Fuck Yeah Needlework

I made her from a kit that I got for Christmas. It was difficult, because the instructions were in, like, Chinese, so I’m pretty sure I did everything wrong, but look at all the TEXTURES

I had to learn like three new stitches to make her. Just run your fingers over this bad boy.

FEEL HER

(Don’t look at the textures of the unironed cloth, though. That’s unintentional.)

Hello, everyone! 

I am taking Honors Statistics this semester, and one of the requirements of my course is that I must complete a research project, and analyze the data. After years of teasing from my family, I’ve decided my topic will be to find out how the average crafter really is: a lonely old grandma, a queer millennial, or someone in between? 

To do this, I need to enlist the help of the crafting community here on Tumblr. I need to gather at least 100 responses in order for my data to be usable, so I’ve gone ahead and made a google form right HERE. I would be incredibly grateful to all of you if you take 5-10 minutes to answer this brief survey, and circle it around. 

If I don’t complete this project, I won’t receive my honors denomination. Which is a bummer under normal circumstances, but in this specific case will result in my removal from the honors program (it’s a complicated system that warrants a post on its own.) 

The survey has seven questions, only 4 of which are required. Two of the non-required questions are essay answers, to give you a chance to go more in-depth with your experiences in the crafting community if you would like to do so. it will help me better contextualize the data. If you would prefer not to, however, that’s fine too!

It took over 20 hours of fighting with my cat over whether it was helpful to attack my embroidery floss or not. I went in with a vague idea and a loose sketch on the fabric. Things came together over time. Time I required bc I had to work around my cat’s nap schedule.

I’ve already learned some valuable lessons
