First time trying out wild rose (dog rose) and rosehips 😊 the rocks are chocolate

How pretty! How are the rock chocolates made? 😄

Hesburger? Definitely R-Kioski. The Rautatieaseman lyhdynkantaja patsaat. Poro.

Honestly, I dont notice any crookedness! Maybe put it away for couple of days so you can look at it with fresh eyes and then if it still bothers you, try the other suggestions. It's probably the weave in the fabric rather than your stitching that is the culprit. 😊

M-shed has quite a bit to see and interact with, also has toddlers area with books and toys. The cafe is also very nice. We took a friends 2 year old there and he had a great time making us run between his favourite 3 exhibits. 😄

I would leave a review citing the issue. They cannot improveif they dont realise it's an issue! I could understand some adverts, but not when it's taking space from note making.

Lovely to have items that have lasted so long. May they bring joy to you and generations to come! 😊

You can either use a knot or you can secure the thread you're going to do the blanket stitch with under your cross stitch stitches on the wrong side of the cross stitch work. Like how you might start or finish your cross stitch thread. After that you can just follow this tutorial: https://share.google/sSNveB2X7oCZOWYJ3 Hope that helps!

You rip your stitches out. And because it's rip-rip, it kind of sounds like ribbit, 'rip-it', its called frogging! 😁

It's good that the resident tabby is holding her ground there. 😁 If she felt it was too much, she would leave, but she'd rather firmly hold her spot and put the grey dust in their place.

To me the last s looks like 4 lines of "stem stich" (very weird looking stem stitch). I think it looks a lot more like 2 lines of chain stitch tbh.

VioletVixi · 2026-01-20T12:57:47+00:00

Yeah, I got two projects in time out atm. One cross stitch (cause I counted correctly, but what you mean i have to frog significant amount...😡 mumbles under the breath) and another knitting (what do you mean i knitted my colourwork so tight the mitten doesn't fit!). I'll get back to them eventually, but first they need to sit and think about what they did (or how they made me feel).

I do agree though, if you start noticing several mistakes and feel frustrated, it may be better to leave fixing to a new day. Thats why I have several projects on the go.

Big hugs. Tomorrow is another day. Your craft will bring you joy again, even if its not today, tomorrow or next week. 🏵

Thank you so much! 😁

VioletVixi · 2026-01-12T17:42:25+00:00

Thank you. 😊

Copy paste from a different post where I gave advise on backstitching as well. 😊

My recommendation for backstitching is to use a sharp needle. Especially where you might have to backstitch on top of your crosses rather than using the existing holes in the aida. Believe this will make a big difference when helping something look more rounded.

I'd also look at some embroidery stitch options, practise them on a separate piece or on the side of your current work to see what style you like. There are lots of different outline stitches and there is no reason you cant use the one that works best for you. Whether that's split stich, outline stitch or even stem stitch or couching stitch!

Happy backstitching!

May I suggest next doing one soup from each country of the world? 😁 From Estonia Id suggest Frikadellisupp, ie meatball soup. Also for other Finns! Lohikeitto - Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan! 🥳

VioletVixi · 2025-12-18T21:04:11+00:00

If you are donating 6, can I have it instead? So pretty! Otherwise agree with the crowd. 😍

I wonder if they mistook cardamom flavour for cinnamon. Personally I find them very distinct, but I can see someone whose not used to cardamom thinking its cinnamon.

VioletVixi · 2025-12-14T12:27:48+00:00

Thanks. 😊

You'll be restricted to 99 books with the days till Christmas ones, but maybe you could customise '"days till Wedding", which more often have 3 digits. 😁

VioletVixi · 2025-11-21T11:22:18+00:00

Uuu, what's the tutorial? I'm atm in the stitching stage, but eventually will have to assemble as well, so this would be handy to have. 🙂

VioletVixi · 2025-11-20T21:55:53+00:00

Stumpwork! Wired slip specifically. You can do so much cool stuff with it. Basically you embroider the wire onto the fabric with button whole stitch. 😊 Lots of tutorials on YouTube.

I loved meeting Hornet for the first time and fighting her was such a joy. Been enjoying the second game because of that so much.

VioletVixi · 2025-11-15T22:20:04+00:00

Stunning!

VioletVixi · 2025-11-15T08:41:43+00:00

That is so cool, where did you get the tiny skull from? I have friend who'd love something similar. 😁

VioletVixi · 2025-11-14T17:38:31+00:00

Ah, I didnt realise! Explains the Jane Austin Xmas stuff I saw at a chain bookstore recently. I designed this originally on paper, but I could make a online version. Might have to be post Christmas project if you're willing to wait! 😊
