A little bit of lava. A first attempt at embroidering an effusive eruption, in the style perhaps of fissural eruptions in Iceland or Hawaii.

Days 52-56

The main part, the embroidery, is ready. I finished it. I finished the first sampler I designed myself.

Now I need to frame it, take nice photos of it, and I'm gonna post them on the anniversary of The Black Parade.

I really hope you will be able to share it on socials when it's totally ready because I really want the guys to see it 😍🤲

An embroidery hoop I made for my eldest child (junior at work) leaving home (going freelance).

Quote from IWTV s2e2, with silk ribbon flowers. The cards have illustrations of each flower, with their meaning on the back.

Asphodel: my regrets follow you to the grave; Camellia: longing for you; Cypress: death and mourning; Hemlock: death; Roses: Love; Willow: mourning

All I can see are mistakes, but I'm trying to be positive and proud of myself for creating things, not judge myself overharshly, so I'm posting it here.

Some embroidery hacks I've discovered that are enabling me to stitch at record speeds:

1) Floss drops, my absolute beloved. Winding/unwinding bobbins ad nauseam and trying to guess how long to cut (and invariably getting it miles wrong) are a thing of the past.

2) Ditched the hoop and am now stitching-in-hand, doing the in-out of the stitch in one go. Mind blown. Not only is each stitch more than twice as fast, I also don't have to fluff around with positioning and attaching the hoop each time, and stressing that it's warping the fabric. (Only works for teeny tiny cross stitch, though.) Is it my neatest work? No, but it does the job, and no one's going to notice when it's hung up on a wall. Tip: put a thimble on the finger behind the work!

3) Mentally allowed myself to accept that starting and finishing a thread is actually not that much of a pain, takes ten seconds, and is going to happen anyway. It's an inevitable and even satisfying part of the process. You don't need to eke out every last stitch till your thread is stressfully short. There is more when that came from. Just chill.

4) Made an adorable little sofa-arm embroidery caddy for all my bits and bobs, including a SUPER HANDY little square of fluffy felt for catching all the offcut threads. (This also helps a lot with (3) above!)

One of the things that always used to put me off embroidery of any kind was the insuperable hurdle of pulling everything out and getting it all set up every single time before you could get started – as opposed to knitting, which you can just pick up and go. With the combination of the above, I can sit down and be actually stitching within about 30 seconds!

A birthday gift to a good friend who loves teal/turquoise. I used metallic thread for the rings.

It was nice to repurpose an unfinished project and sew again :)

The ten year wait is almost over, and to celebrate I finally framed the embroidery.
