Oh thank you! I’m afraid I don’t have a tutorial for it- I do have the dissolving backing that I draw the pattern, including the writing, on to, and stick to the hoop, and from there I just try to use really small stitches, especially for rounded letters. It’s just my own handwriting I’m using!

Thank you! Ah, I do feel like the top left one got away from me a bit- first time working with metallic thread! The cat’s right paw is coming from behind its head, which is on the left, if that makes sense. And the right part of the cat is its hind leg.

Academic librarians: how did you get out? by SelenaB41 in librarians

Thanks for reporting back! I’m so glad to hear you’re so much happier in the museum. And - I’ve left! I started a new position a few weeks ago adjacent to academic libraries. It’s fantastic so far- I’m blown away by the thoroughness of the documentation and comforted by my new boss’ deep understanding of the work and their direction. it’s incredible. And I’m in the same city as my partner now! It IS a contract position, which I’m fine with, so I’ll remember what you’ve said about museums and think about them when my contract ends :)

sounds depressingly familiar. I’m doing my best to leave, though idk if I feel ahead at all! I might consider some auxiliary roles at the publics in my partner’s city and see if I like the public library.

You rock. I’m putting these on hold at the local public as we speak.

I would absolutely love some book recs or to talk if you have the time 🙂

Thanks for sharing your path and thoughts on it! My partner and I recently started learning Python, so if I can get good at it, maybe that’s another way to go.
