This really illustrates the difference backstitching makes.
I hate backstitching. It's tedious and, at times, can be difficult to find the right spot. This pattern has been especially so because not only does it switch between 1 and 2 strands, the lines keep ending in between the holes.
And yet, as much as I hate it, I love the results.

Finishes!
So my goal this year has been to finally finish WIPs (and do small ornaments. So far I've managed to finish 2. Given the fact that I have an 8 month old, I am impressed with myself.
1st up is Tiramisu by Glendon Place.
14ct aida by Picture This Plus, Dinky Dyes silk thread and Mill Hill glass beads.
2nd is a dimensions kit, which I literally did the final backstitch on, took a pic and started typing this.
Finally have a new Friday finish! All the backstitching kinda killed me.
Pattern by Stitchrovia on etsy.
14ct fabric and DMC threads.
WIP Wednesday!
Sometimes it's funny how only being partway done can temporarily change the tone of a piece. It will eventually say "I'm not here to be just average, I'm here to be awesome"

please put in the tags the worst book you’ve read in its entirety!!

theres this thing i encounter a lot as a textile artist, where I'll be giving a gift/showing my latest project and people immediately decide that they will never make something like that. that maybe i figured it out but there's a limited # of people who can learn how to crochet and they just didn't make the cut. and it's kinda pissing me off. a lot of these trades are starting to fade away (death of older artists, industrialization, etc etc) and it upsets me that some people are willing to let their opportunity to make things they want to make go just because they don't know how yet. i taught myself embroidery from youtube and Pinterest. i taught myself how to sew and draft patterns and tailor. i taught myself how to follow crochet tutorials on youtube and eventually how to read the books. I'm not some blessed prophet of the gods sent with natural skills to create. (hell I'd even say im a beginner at most of the things i do, but we're getting there) and trust me there are PILES of scrap fabric and projects from when i didn't quite know what i was doing and just. fucking tried anyways. moral is. if you want to make something i swear to god you can figure it out. youtube is your best friend. books. google. people around you, people you know. just don't give up before you've even started
My second hobby is resin pouring. I am always on the prowl for new molds. I was looking for one of a gnome figurine. What I found was this. I showed the listing to a few friends as a laugh.
Aaand... now it's a thing and I have like 8 requests in various colors.
Behold, the Phallusaurus Rex.
WIP Wednesday!
So this is a kit by Design Works. I can't stand most kits. The materials aren't to my liking, and the patterns tend to be a mess of backstitching. I started this project with trepidation. Design Works seems to be an exception to this.
If I hate kits why did I buy one?! I love the quote. The project called to me to make it as a reminder to myself. I get too caught up in details and get discouraged if things don't meet some ridiculous standard.
I started this back in August '22. These days it lives at my desk at work and I work on it in 10 to 15 minute bursts for breaks. So slow but sure progress.
My husband told me I don't need more books.
I don't know who I'm married to anymore.
I have a finish. This was requested by someone at work so she could put it up in her office. People, it does something good for my soul when others find joy in my work.
Pattern from SoEasyPattern on Etsy. 18ct aida and dmc cotton thread.

Did you know led lights are safe to embed in resin? Its true because they don't produce heat. So I made some light up trees.
I gave myself fake claws to celebrate the holiday
WIP Wednesday. I had to move the ring so it was picture time.
Tiramisu by Glendon Place. I've taken long breaks from this one. I didn't realize how close to finishing I was.
Fabric- 18ct aida "mesa" from Picture This Plus
Threads - Dinky Dyes silk
Beads - Mill Hill seed and petite seed
It's Finish Friday, guys!
Two little ornaments. Patterns by Emma Congdon (I love her style.) I used dmc Etoile (c666) instead of the plain red charted. Stitched on 18 CT aida, which allowed them to fit perfectly in these 3 inch hoops.
I wrapped the hoops with ribbon for a different look and really like it.

FinishFriday!
This is a baby gift for a friend. I can't wait to send it off.
Pattern by Stitchrovia on etsy. 14count aida that I got off amazon. I replaced the charted blues with DMC 704 and 445 for the gender neutrals preferred by the mommy to be.
Only complaint I had was that everything went one stitch past the G on the right but everything lined up on the left. So I adjusted by a stitch here or there to fix it.
reblog to give the person you reblogged this from the motivation to finish a wip
