Missing a floss color for my current WIP so I'm at work just crawling out of my skin without my favorite fidget 😑😑😑

I've been doing these little progress videos of my cross stitch pieces and I'm particularly proud of this one 💚🧟‍♀️💉

Walking to the grocery store with a little rolly bag so we can get groceries for the weekend like fucking pioneers

When people start setting off fireworks two days early, we enter the blankie cave for safety

Vibes weren't good enough, repairs will likely be double what they initially quoted me and I won't have my car back until Monday 😭😭😭 but we persist

Bringing my car into the mechanic pls send good vibes

Space cow I drew in the "decompression room" at work

Feeling foolish because I put off an expensive car issue, and now my brakes are unusable and the whole situation is going to be even more expensive, and it could have all been avoided if I had taken care of it earlier!!! Fool!!!!

Cetacea

reduce, reuse, reinter. original design embroidered on a reusable bag. #artsky #art

Me at work wondering what my tomodachis are up to....

Listening to other audiobooks narrated by Moira Quirk just to hear Ianthe's voice again

Downloaded the Tomodachi Life demo and was transported viscerally to middle school ratatouille-style so I'll probably get the full version eventually lol

The Rev is having a hard time with the storm tonight, but it helps to have his favorite blanky that @ribbonthing.bsky.social made for him awhile back.

Made a little fishie 🌟🐟😊 been really pleased lately at the way I've been consistently able to bring my vision to reality. Embroidery has been such an act of self-realization tbh.

Tapestry crochet looked really hard, and micro crochet looked really hard, so naturally I combined them. This is two strands of embroidery floss stitched with a 1.8mm hook!

Our local art museum had a free community day so we got to see some really cool pieces 🎨🖌️🖼️

You all know I had to do it. Here is my reconstruction of the newly described Spinosaurus mirabilis, including its magnificent scimitar-shaped head crest #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs #spinosaurus

Fraught Topic: my bookstore where I only sell problematic fiction

Makeup smudged and hair messy after work but I am blue now

Made a housewarming gift for my sister, since she and her fiance finally found a place!

Made a doll version of my husband

Took a road trip today! Saw Iron Lung, which was pretty decent considering it's a YouTuber movie, and went to the Rainforest Cafe! They had a photographer randomly I guess?? And Roux and I don't have a lot of nice photos of us so we splurged on one they sold us. Very nice day outing 🥰

Without my needles I have done sketches instead. Working from the bottom up, you can see where I started to think about dinosaurs

Forgot my needles at home so I can't cross stitch at work :/// I usually do it to keep my cool and focus while getting yelled at so we will see where we're at by 8pm

Finished the bear! My sister liked it so much she asked for one for her own baby 💙

Making a teddy bear for my cousin's baby shower and it is currently looking like a sentient potato. Also this yarn isn't as bad as I thought it would be but I am still counting like my life depends on it cuz I cannot see these stitches

THEY LET ME GO HOME EARLY which is good because I don't know if I could have gotten home in the dark 😥😥😥😥 but I'm home now and just finishing my shift here

Drove to the office today but I must have missed some kind of communication that we could work from home because no one else is here. 🙃 Really concerned about getting home tonight too UGH

Interview went well!! And the assignment seems right up my alley. So fingers crossed, they said I should hear sometime this week or next! Thank u for the well wishes everybody 💜

I have an interview for an internal assignment opportunity at work tomorrow wish me luck!!!

FRAMED! Genuinely my favorite piece. One of those "I can't believe I made this" kind of pieces. It's almost exactly as I initially envisioned it at first! 🥰🧚‍♀️🪡

Okay I'm working on a piece that gripped a hold of me and shook me dead...here is a little preview of how complicated the back got. Will share finished piece once I get it in the frame

My mom did probably 75-80% of this back in like 1995 when I was a baby, but put it in a drawer and it never got finished, cuz motherhood. 30 years later, I dug it up and finished it and gave it back to her.

Maybe tmi?? But apparently my uvula is irritated because I'm mouth breathing at night because of my stuffy nose and it's like sorry for not DYING

Caught up on welcome to derry and it's so funny to me that they showed It going into hibernation in pennywise form. Like girl why are u still in costume?? It's like a little kid wanting to go to bed in a Cinderella dress lol

Sometimes a project seems very big, so I just start on the weensiest parts of it.

When the tedious, time-consuming tiny detail work actually makes the art look better in a noticeable way

I know everyone is like "oh I got a broad music taste" but I feel like this is quite the mix. I'm not even sure I know what baroque pop is

Stained the hoop and could not be happier with how it turned out (after a couple days of curing). I have a tiny bit more beading and edgework along the bottom to complete and then this piece will be on its way to my client!

SOMEBODY got too cold to finish his walk by himself

I love to embroider but it can be so much more intimidating than cross stitch....I already know what the cross stitch pattern is gonna look like by the time it's done, even if it's got an ugly stage. But with embroidery, I could put hours into a piece and then not like it and not know until I'm done

Okay so crisis mostly averted; guy who jumpstarted my car last night assured me it would need a battery replacement right away, but it started fine this morning. Still gonna look into that replacement but I'm in marginally less despair over it

Would really love to stop having car trouble??? I literally just spent way too much to fix a ball bearing and now my car just completely won't start. Getting someone to come jump start it but I'm just sitting here willing back tears in my employer's parking lot

Happy birthday @circusanimal.bsky.social !!!

Very annoying when a book I thought would be right up my alley just isn't...without getting too into it, if a modern-ish, feminist-leaning reimagining of Dracula calls Mina Murray Harker a bitch no fewer than 4 times, it's getting a thumbs down in my personal book journal 😤

Husband got me a carnotaurus model and I immediately brought her to work and put a bow on her

He wouldn't leave me alone until I let him up on the couch with me, and then stood next to me, shivering, before slowly climbing up here. So I guess im sleeping here tonight
