Cross Stitching - Blog Posts
Math is really tiring, im so glad i finally get to relax and do some knitting and crochet and i oh god oh my what the fuck
day 5 of quarantine, I’ve run out of fabric and have had to resort to cross stitching this old strainer. Turned out pretty good I think! by Skittle_kittle
Its so cute!!! I saw you do previews of this and instantly fell in love. You did a wonderful job.
Finished! Added some floral confetti for good measure..
Stitched on 20ct fabric a few hours a day over a week or so c:
Will upload the pattern soon
It’s finished! Now to frame it.
WIP #3
Didn’t make as much progress as in days before, but with for good reasons! I got blood drawn for my endocrinology appointment, I made a few calls that needed to be made, got coffee with the wife and got her “minter”, and other things I can’t remember that needed done.
And! The husband found a holographic snowflake light to put in the front yard so our house isn’t so dismal against the rest of the neighborhood and their lights.
Today didn’t suck.

I’ve been itching to get back to cross stitching for a while now. I have one all planned out for a friend, but I can’t find my white aida cloth to start. At least, I think it’s big enough for what I need. Not working makes things challenging when needing to purchase supplies. The black aida I purchased earlier this year was just a bit to narrow for what I need, so I decided to repurpose it. To snowflakes, of course! Did a little Google search, found this free pattern and here I am. Also, black aida is a bitch to work on. it feels like a miniature litebrite. I’m a quarter done with it after starting on Friday, which is weird to think. It’s been good for keeping my hands and mind busy, especially with the wife having seizures off and on all day. She was supposed to have an ambulatory EEG this weekend, but our outlets in our 1950s house are too small to accommodate what the tech needed to plug the camera into. Now we get to schedule a 72 hour EEG at the hospital in the middle of respiratory disease hell season. Weeee!
In better news, our plumbing is getting replaced tomorrow. Or rather, the plumbing replacement process starts tomorrow. Jackhammering at 8 am! Who doesn’t love getting woken up to jackhammering right next to the bedroom? Although I just thought of something. Wife’s seizures have been sound triggered as well; this could get really messy.
WIP #2
No plumbing started yet because two of the guys on the crew got Covid. Maybe next week? I’m so ready to have a shower that works again.

I want/need to cross stitch again. I basically took a break when I moved and was dealing with depression. I did a small project last month ish and realized how much I missed it. But nothing is organized and my ADHD brain is struggling to find where to start. So I continue gathering and making patterns. I’m also behind in schoolwork so it’s like I’m semi punishing myself but not rewarding myself with cross stitch. Logically I know it would help, but depression brain is also weird.
Anyone else deal with things like that?

I saw these canvas paintings made by my cousins. The cross-stitch output in the middle is from my mom and gave it to my auntie.
