I've been struggling to work on creative projects for the last few months so I made myself a little embroidery advent calendar to get back into daily sewing, taking some inspiration from @karenjturner.bsky.social. quite happy with how it is going so far...

BBC article on NYC mayoral race saying that the election received “more media attention than a municipal election deserves”. I presume this will soon be followed by “what Farage thinks about the New York election results”.

Sometimes the trees watch you back

Latest #anatomicalembroidery project is done. Shoulder, focusing on brachial plexus (yellow) Not bad for 6 months into this hobby!

Trying black work embroidery for the first time. Should have learned on aida rather than somewhat slubby linen...

For February I'm trying to focus on finishing or at least making progress on quilting and embroidery projects that have been stalled for too long. I have been carrying this peacock around for more than ten years and no longer remember what I planned to do with the feathers...

#3 in different embroidery styles- first attempts at sashiko embroidery. The design for this one owes a lot to a lino cut by @erolinstudios.bsky.social which you can see here erolinstudios.com/products/sle...

Detoxing from political podcasts with library audiobooks and embroidery this weekend. Normal freaking out to resume later.

Anatomy + fiber art makes me happy

Adventures in different embroidery styles #2 cross stitch. Conclusion: designing for cross stitch is hard.

The most productive thing I have done in the last twenty minutes at work has been to add the word "doughnuts" to my shopping list, so I think it's time for the weekend.

Please all enjoy this Google maps typo with me

Finished my post-surgery #embroidery project! More or less anatomically correct for yours truly (except not joined up of course). Not sure the gray really works as well as I'd hoped? But that's the years' first embroidery done. RIP colon, I miss you!

and since you all asked, (although you didnt), here is my #dna replication #quilt #quiltsky #scienceart. first assembled it so it had two adjacent major grooves, so of course had to undo and re-assemble (i deleted all pictorial evidence of that misdeed)

Using the winter break to learn some different embroidery styles. First up: crewelwork.

I'm quite proud of my latest #embroidery creation for a colleague and friend of mine, who specializes in memory research. Those who know, know 😉 #hippocampus

Fae's Anatomy 4 I almost scrapped this multiple times, but I'm glad I finished it. Embroidery on paper. #embroidery #art
