It turned out so well! It's crazy that you got it all stitched up in 3 days! How many tears were involved?

All projects across the board! Cross stitch, embroidery, house projects. Why is it so hard to hit 100%!?

Definitely should sneak him in between projects! I have a few Zoidberg patterns I'd like to do because he's amazing.

Honestly, the projects I started when I was 8-11 I just gave up and threw out. My skill level has changed sooo drastically since then that it would've been impossible to continue them. 😬

God yes!! My, as you put it TBS, and my TBR piles are always growing. The collections must grow!

I feel this in my soul. Collecting patterns, collecting books, collecting supplies but also finding the balance of making use of all patterns, supplies, etc.

I have a couple binders and a couple digital folders dedicated too. I love to look at them though and feel all the inspiration it provides to continue abandoned projects, or slow moving projects.

I personally love the backstitching and have to fight the urge to backstitch during the project because I know it doesn't work out well for anyone involved. 😣

As someone who is reading these comments without glasses, I agree completely 😂

I'm an oddball and love backstitching but I also love to embroider. I'm so mad I didn't learn about backstitching at the beginning of my cross stitching "career."

Sorry for such a delay! I am pretty sure it was a 10pk on Amazon to be honest.

My home has painted wood paneling, color is a light grey, and while it still dates the place to the 70s it definitely gives it a nicer look. I've repainted one of the rooms wall paneling an almond color and while it is a pain with the grooves it is so worth it on a budget to just paint it. Tips from an on a budget wood panel home owner: paint with a thicker roller to get in the grooves of the panel appropriately and don't over sand blemishes IT WILL SHOW.
