    I finished the owl and painted the fabric :B
    The watercolour made the owl outline bleed, which is a shame. Not too bad, tho.

    My sister tried to tell me to "gird [my] loins". Unfortunately (fortunately?) she couldn't remember the phrase, so she actually said:

    Oh hey, a thread for sewing and things! I started making plushies a few years ago because I thought the troll grubs from Homestuck were adorable and I needed huggable versions of them. So I currently have a collection of four wigglers, with a fifth one I've been working on and off on recently, hopefully I'll finish her soonish.

    (More pictures of the grubs and their adorable shenanigans are on my tumblr)

    Oh my god, this is my biggest issue with knitting. I count my cast on stitches like five times before starting and even then sometimes it's still wrong.

    Ooh, I've actually been in the market for exactly that sort of thing! I ordered the lotus and cat box patterns, and I'm already really excited! :D

    (slash I will probably be back for some of the whitework patterns too, as soon as I nerve myself into trying more New Things)

    Awesome! : D I can ask my mom what designs would be easiest for beginners to whitework/ if she knows any good resources for starting out if you want me to!

    That would be wonderful, thank you!! I've been meaning to expand my embroidery horizons for ages, and this is a fantastic way to enable myself

    I haven't cross-stitched in forever (like, I think an actual decade, wow) but I saw a pattern I absolutely HAD to do the other day and I'm remembering how much I like it! The seller had a kit, so I bought that since I have zero supplies, and it came in the mail yesterday.

    What I've done next to a tiny printout of what it'll look like. I've made a few mistakes, but I haven't done it in forever so I'm giving myself a break and it still looks fine so far! I'm probably going to give it to my sister as a housewarming present when I'm done, because we both love Dorothy Parker.

    0727161845 (1).jpg I ran out of white, oops, so I've been working on other parts until I get a chance to go buy more. I didn't do a ton today because I stabbed myself under my nail trying to watch TV and stitch last night, oops. The colors look so vibrant against the black, though, it's lovely! The gel pen on black paper effect.
