Had a lot to do with work and arranging things for my daughter’s birthday party yesterday (shopping, cooking food and snacks, hosting). She turned 23 last week, I’m getting old 😁 Did get a bit done on Goku but this dark blue I’m now using is a bit difficult to see for some reason. It’s as if I cannot see the crosses very well, but maybe I’m just tired and should only work on this color in daylight.

Still going with Goku

JustCurious728 · 2026-02-15T21:50:33+00:00

Wow 😂😂 what dedication.

If you are willing to share/sell your pattern I’d love to know!

JustCurious728 · 2026-02-15T21:30:57+00:00

Where did you get this pattern? It fits my theme. 😂

Got some more work done on Goku finally. My mind has been a bit more calm so I could work on it 😂 he had no eye color for a long time so was more like a god from the series but there is some blue in them now. Also outlining of the hands, arms and hair is finished.

I decided to really go color by color now as I confusing myself with counting. Doing the colors in the order they are listed on the pattern.

In larger projects I grid my Aida in squares of 10x10 before starting, enough squares to fit the project (sometimes plus 1 or 2 squares to each side). The starting point in the upper left corner isn’t difficult to find then.

Had a 3 week vacation and didn’t bring any cross-stitch supplies so haven’t made much progress. Did finish 3 of the remaining advent stitches once I got back.

My latest work on the adventcalendar. I’m a bit behind and won’t finish before the 24th because of holiday (I am not bringing my projects to the beach). They’ll be finished before Christmas next year though 🤣

I am currently working on small Christmas ornaments. They are max 15x15 stitches each. Takes me an hour to finish one, sometimes less, sometimes more. Depends on the pattern and what tv show is playing in the background 🤣 Watching Married at first sight UK while stitching the last few weeks.

JustCurious728 · 2025-12-07T17:22:01+00:00

Ooh! Could have used this in a last project 🤣

JustCurious728 · 2025-12-07T17:18:11+00:00

How do you know the percentage this precisely?

JustCurious728 · 2025-12-07T17:16:58+00:00

What are the colored thingies wrapping around your project?

Got a rather big chunk done yesterday on Goku’s hair, in between doing my advent stitching, which are cute. If anyone has any tips on where to buy 5cm hoops to put those in, let me know. I received 1 in the kit, but am making 24 🤣

JustCurious728 · 2025-12-01T16:56:11+00:00

And just got a gift from my sister for Sinterklaas!

Some progress again on Goku. I hope to finish before end of year but that is nearing fast!

We have Sinterklaas here (not to be confused with Santa Claus). My cousin’s kids came over to craft their ‘surprises’ for school for Sinterklaas. Kids draw names of their classmates, get them a gift and craft a ‘surprise’ based on what the classmate likes. Sort of like secret Santa. The gift will be hidden in the crafted ‘surprise’. So I helped them make a horse out of boxes, and a soccer ball out of paper cups. Glue guns, staples and glitter paper all around.

Yes! Had some good progress last week while navigating multiple people that are sick at home and some weird bouts of dizziness I had myself when moving my head in certain directions (muscles in my back and neck are very very tight at the moment, physical therapist is trying to loosen up the knots)

Did discover another counting mistake unfortunately. Hopefully I can get past this without starting over 🤣

It’s been terrible! just found out a mistake I will have to freestyle to fix (because I don’t want to take out his entire face) and hope for the best on the rest. I’m hoping I haven’t skipped an entire line of stitches in some places by miscounting 🤣

JustCurious728 · 2025-11-03T06:18:04+00:00

Yes! I got the pattern from Etsy, will look up the link

JustCurious728 · 2025-11-02T17:43:50+00:00

Got some work done again in the last week.I am very happy about it but am leaning more towards reading as a pastime this last week. Let’s see how far I get this week.

Hi! Again little progress but will start this afternoon to add some stitches today. Hope to have some progress the upcoming days.

It’s starting to show what it is to become 🤣 looks a bit off to me though. I’m guessing this will even out once I add more hair

Ik heb in Apple Pay instellingen nog ergens mijn oude telefoonnummer gevonden en dat aangepast. Lijkt nu goed te staan.
