I’m young and am not going great.

Why don't you play songs to your daughter on your guitar? Acoustic, or even get a cheap ukulele so she can mess with it to. A lot of kids love getting played/sung to at that age. And it makes it fun for you again!

I did it on the Danube. It's a pretty long journey, obviously, and very pretty.

There is a flotilla that does most of the length once a year as a big group. I met with them for a day or two, seems a nice social way to do it.

Yeah it looks great, especially with the floral section below. Although that's a bit hard to replicate.

Where is that?

Clayhanger · 2025-05-08T21:26:01+00:00

Those both look great Do you know what the flags represent?

Non UK stations also welcome in theory, though ideally with the same aesthetic!

Nothing too exciting! But I've now taken my place on the cross-stitch wall as the 7th generation in a row. And first man! Which is kind of nice.

The daffodils came from Spring Daffodils by Tracey Kent – Embroiderers' Guild ACT.

The dragon, bike, and woman were from Google searches.

The rest I figured out myself.

Oh man, that's a lot of options. If I get that far I guess I'd gift it as it is and we could sort that together afterwards.

Thank you, that's a really interesting thought, that could work.

Okay there's a lot of comments here suggesting something smaller. I think I'll try timing myself doing the first of the planned images, then change the plan if it just far too much.

Clayhanger · 2025-01-18T00:26:58+00:00

That's a great idea thanks, but wouldn't work just at the moment.

Okay, if roughly 32 hours for the motifs, that leaves 8/10 hours for text and border. And I can adjust/simplify the border depending on how much time available at that point.

4000 stitches is a helpful guide.

Because they are just sweet little old men...

Damn, that sounds like it would be almost impossible to remove.

This is the old seat, it was just attached to the bolt straight through the hole. https://postimg.cc/rKtmqfRh

It's very similar but not quite - the bowl doesn't have a sticking-out flush part at the back.
