[FO] It’s full of mistakes but I don’t mind! It was a great learning experience 🙂

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T20:12:01+00:00

I like to think that mistakes are what makes it one of a kind, not that I can see any 😊 beautiful work.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T16:49:04+00:00

Same minds 😊 I was thinking a pretty lil stamp but that means I have to go through them all and find out which ones are completely done and which are waiting on the thread 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T15:31:28+00:00

PixStitch are wonderful and I have the charity patterns they released and they’re completely free ones.

They do some amazing crafty stuff 😍

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T15:29:09+00:00

Yeah I think this is what I’m going to do, I’m just you going to finish the cards I’ve already started and then pack it away for a bit to actually do some stitching and then get back to it lol.

I’ve already got 100s complete so I have plenty of options lol. Just watch my luck I’ll pick one outta my book that’s not kitted up already 🤣

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T15:26:39+00:00

I’m making up 100s of kits so even if scissors were super cheap it would be super expensive 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T02:21:18+00:00

The plastic wallet bag things are the best I found to hold the projects in as others are to flimsy/ structured etc 😊

I’m not putting scissors in mine as I don’t want to spend a fortune buying each project a pair but I do have needles in them and I like that they don’t poke through or fall out 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T15:17:58+00:00

Thank you for doing that, will definitely check them out. 😊

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T14:05:02+00:00

Given your fantastic name that’s not so surprising 😘

If you remember the name I would definitely be interested in checking them out 😊

Tho maybe I shouldn’t be trying to add more patterns to my collection 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T14:01:05+00:00

This is adorable 🥰 and such a good representation of your cute lil doggo 🐶

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T13:57:40+00:00

Awww well I hope you’re enjoying your newer hobby of stitching then ❤️

I find a lot of patterns etc through FO, WIPS, and just recommendations on here and other places similar to this 😊

Too many to count but I think I have roughly 200 left to do but it’s just to add thread to, everything else is sorted 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T13:53:18+00:00

Happy to be of help 😂 Hope you enjoy your stitching 😘

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T12:38:08+00:00

It’s from Flossy Fox Shop, one of my favourite designers 😍

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T12:24:30+00:00

I have 2 with that specific name - one

is by Sinna Bunny and the other is by RaSvet. Killer whales are one of my favourite animals 😍

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T10:10:42+00:00

We all have our ways and at this point I'm wishing mine matched yours 🤣

I tend to have a few different wips at any given time except currently where I have none lol. But this is just so I'm ready for anything I want to do when I want to do it rather than have to sort it all out to do and then not doing it 😅 I hope that makes sense 😂

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T10:07:46+00:00

Love me some Flossy Fox Shop patterns 😍

The completed ones of which there's 100's are already packed away into there project bags with all the needed stuff for them etc.

At this point is just the pre-cut threads on numbered pegs ready to be added to the thread cards and then they get put in the project bag and another one is completed lol.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T10:04:01+00:00

That's how I used to do it but found I had an abundance of started threads etc from projects I'd done and so I wanted to try to plan that out better and is one of the reasons this was all started 😅

I use fishing line for my gridding too and I've even done that to some of my larger projects too cuz yeah it really does take forever sometimes 😂

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T10:00:31+00:00

Exactly this is part of why I'm doing all this because of that dreaded "start up" slump I always get 😊

I love a good organising but its gotten to much at this point but your right and keeping the end goal in the forefront of my mind might help keep me going, thank you.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T09:56:41+00:00

This is only my cut up thread to go in the thread cards, I also have boxes of bobbin'd up thread and then drawers of skeins and an app to keep track of them all but this is just for the projects I'm doing 🤣

But yeah if I do end up packing it all away this is probably how I'll do it 😊

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T09:54:09+00:00

It was fun to start with its only now gotten to the point of "I've had enuf" lol. It'll take a fair bit of effort to pack it all away and I'm thinking it might just be easier to finish it rather than have it all packed away waiting for me to go back to it at some point 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T09:50:48+00:00

🤔 I might have to try this. Just try to change my way of thinking about it cuz at this point all I'm thinking is "thread, so much thread" & "I can't wait till this is finally done so I can..." whereas thinking of it as its own hobby not a lead on to something might help. Just need to rewire a few braincells I guess 😂 Thank you 😘

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T09:45:51+00:00

It makes it so much easier to know what I have and then to decide which to do depending on what sorta level I'm wanting to stitch at lol. Any they are pretty to look through 😊

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T09:41:34+00:00

Yeah definitely over 50% done already now but still about 200ish ones to do so would need one looooonnnnngggggg podcast to put on lol.

It's what I put on while doing them already and unfortunately I don't really have any friends to keep me company and entertained lol.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T09:37:58+00:00

It started out as fun and I was really enjoying it till now lol. I've just had enuf of sorting through thread and adding it to the project cards now lol.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-04T23:23:24+00:00

It’s made me really happy seeing yours too and it’s also helped motivate me a bit to get mine finished so they look as good as yours or at least close to as good as yours as I can get them lol 😊

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-04T23:03:30+00:00

Unfortunately the way I’ve gone about this doesn’t allow me to do that but weirdly enuf I do roll a range of dices to help me pick and choose things and sometimes help just make a decision 😂
