As I work on this long-paused project, I’m struck by a double layer of guilt — the kind that comes from not working on other projects that are also waiting. Why double? Because this one involves both cross stitch (Millennium Comet and Earth) and embroidery (Hark the Herald Angels), meaning two beloved pieces are being side lined. I genuinely want to finish them; they have a place, a purpose, a future. Yet here I am, stubbornly pushing through a project I haven’t been enjoying much, and honestly, I’ve no idea what I’ll even do with it once it’s done.
However, I know that once it is done there will be satisfaction at finally getting it finished. I have even started thinking of a little Deborization on the project (So far I am resisting that).
The stitching on the last empty month finished it was time to turn back to the edge where many a lazy daisy stitch was required.
As I worked them I realised there were places that the stalks for the lazy daisy leaves were not all there. I had missed a few. In going to add them I recalled I made an error when doing the stems in the first place, using the wrong colour. Fortunately I had some of that thread left.
I kept sewing longer than I should thinking to finish this section and just have the names of the months left to do. With a contented sigh I put the threads away and took a picture.
Ah! still missed one! Can you see where it should go?
It will just have to wait till the next outing to get done. I have put the needle in the spot as a reminder so as not to get excited by how near to completion this is and going directly to the lettering.
As for the Forestella link well this is a long one as a compilation. I wonder if the popularity of the Netflix K-Pop Demon Hunters will inadvertently lead to more people finding them through the auspices of AI algorithms. I however don't have that particular subscription so have not seen that animation.
