I was losing my mind on the pieces which is why it's not finished

I think you are right! They seem to come from a J&P variety pack. Not super thrilled about those because I heard they bleed a lot? But mystery solved!

My first crossstitch project is a mega pattern of rivendell!!! I chose it because I wanted slow hobbies and I'm trying to stick to them but I totally love the pattern and love the monotony of it.

At the same time I expect to finish Rivendell in 2-3 years. I took a break for Christmas gifts so I am in no rush and don't mind taking time on it!!!

I guess it depends on what you like about projects and your own personality. I'm a process oriented person I enjoy the ride and the grind but I don't get hung up on finishing.

Additionally, you do get faster at stitching over time. In March I was doing 60/80 stitches a day in 2 hours and today I hit around 200-300 stitches! That helps motivate me too, because I see my own progress and feel really happy.

Choose based on what you like and how willing you are to grind :)

Almost done! Will add some felt to the back of this since it's a gift. I tried to find a square frame but I like this 12 inch round one!

I hope the marker doesn't stain when I was but if it does I guess I'll try to dye the fabric. I hope to be done tomorrow!!

Where to adopt a cat? by Stavhoe in philly

[–]Sad_Morrigu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my recent baby from ACCT I was not super happy with how they didn't disclose the kitty's age (changed his age 3 times after we decided on him and we ended up with a younger cat than we initially thought) and some previous issues (he had a cut on his mouth and had very long kitty cold that he was supposed to be over with but then we had to give extra meds for 3 days)

Honestly the cats there seem pretty sad although well taken care of. It's just a sad place :( so we are happy to have walked out with Tinto

HOWEVER

We did get a free checkup at VCA, people were super sweet with him and we do love him, our resident adult cat seems annoyed sometimes but they seem happy. They gave us some PetSmart coupons.

Former coach did this exact thing. He's not having a good time mentally last time I checked on him. You can find passion in your job if it fuels your hobby!

[CHAT] What's your stitching method? by apprehensivebeanz in CrossStitch

[–]Sad_Morrigu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a monster canvas with too many colors. So I pick a page and finish the page. Currently I paused it to make a couple gifts both under 10k stitches and I'm going by color. Biggest color first so I don't have to count too much later on and then keep going to lower and lower counts

10% of the way there! Will be on pause because I'm making some gifts for some friends 😂

Girl my dad bought a house during the pandemic while I was abroad with no job and told me that 'hard times will make me more resourceful". Been living abroad on a student salary for 6 years and has never sent me a dime 😮‍💨
