I finished a small cross stitch today. Design by Max Pigeon from his book Cross-Stitch in the Forest. Love the texture of the sky and the absence of floss to make the trees.

I'm about 40% through stitching a design by Aliton Embroidery. I've had to adjust some floss colors to suit the light brown aida cloth I'm using; I may end up frogging that pink text and using a darker pink.

Needed a name tag, and it finally let me do a cross stitch I didn't have to iron afterward! Used plant patterns from the Stardew Valley cross stitch book. Font pattern by Happy Sloth Cross Stitch I believe.

I started this
#CrossStitch
designed by Night Spirit Studio back in June 2024, worked on it off and on for the last year, and just finished today. It was really fun stitching all the rooms! I still hate backstitching though.

I am so incredibly tickled that The Sims 1 and 2 were re-released. Been really enjoying the first game on my Steam Deck. Fussed with the control scheme and it feels really comfortable now, the Deck is great for control customization.

2,903 stitches later, and I've finished stitching this pattern by Una Buena Pieza! I love the density of this pattern, how many different kinds of plants and animals are in it.

I'm so excited, my Bisley cabinet arrived today and I was able to get all my embroidery floss organized in it. Much nicer than the multiple bins I was using before. I got the custom foam bobbin holders from MisfitIsle on Etsy.

I started this Witchy Stitcher pattern in January 2024, stitched it on and off for a year before finishing around Christmas, and now I've just framed it. The fiddler's cloth warped a bit at the bottom, curving the border, but I still love how it came out.

I cannot dismiss this Manage Badge thing in iOS Mail, it will not go away, and while I swear I was able to click "Learn more" before and it did something, now tapping it does nothing. π It's also not very accessible as it cuts off text without letting me scroll to read the rest of the title.

Is this a good place to report Bluesky bugs? With my text size setting, when a feed's description is long enough, I can't scroll down to the actual posts. Would be nice if the description were part of the scrollable area.

Got a letter from some company with 'health' in the name. Speculated it was either new insurance cards or notice of a data breach, that either would be equally likely. It was the unfavorable one. π«
