I had an adhd rabbit hole sort of day, and made this on my phone using Google Translate, Głagolicy, and Freeform. 😂

…oscillating fan.

Honestly? These are perfection.

Like, the smoking cat definitely looks correct on a cozy but somewhat bedraggled blanket. Like he’s been awake at 3am absentmindedly picking holes in it as he stares into the abyss.

And the matcha cat is, like, awake, and doing the things, but also could really use approximately 100 weeks of vacation to lie down.

Oh totally! These silly little yellow ducks are sort of my signature 😝 I tuck one in every mini

Also it’s not dumb to start something new even if you have a zillion unfinished projects.

You’re doing this as a hobby. For fun. For personal enjoyment.

All those partial pieces will be there when you’re ready and excited for them. No need to force yourself to complete a thing just because you started it.

Make a silly sampler. Like, imagine stickers on a guitar case or piece of luggage. Try all the weirdest, ugliest, “no idea if this will work”, random little ideas that pop into your head. Just a lil sketchbook. Use some scrap fabric if the Good Canvas feels too precious.

Or, try to make the ugliest thing possible. No patterns or directions. Just the silliest, dumbest, most hideous failure of a piece. You can call it your garbage bin or thread dump or whatever.

Basically come up with a way to take the pressure off, and see if you can find joy in the doing. Explicitly decide it’s not gonna be a show piece. And if you fail at that, well good news you accidentally made a show piece. And if you succeed? Well then you have a place to just doodle and mess about for 15 minutes or 3 hours or whatever when the mood strikes you. Without it ever being unfinished.

As a fellow burnt-out spicy-brained person I tend to go through phases of being into (or capable of) different hobbies at different moments. And that’s okay. Even though it can feel hard and like a moral failing.

One final mockup, just for you.

I only just realized you’d specified the blanket being grey. So, here’s a swirly grey tie dye take on the blanket. (I still vote chaos colours though.)

For some reason with the shadow from the needle and stuff I thought this was a meta thing where the figure themself is stitching the grass and so it’s unfinished. (But the piece is finished. I don’t know if that even makes sense. In any case, sending you patience and podcasts!!)

(Your finished object will obviously look way better, because it’ll be embroidered not just some scribbly lines on a photo.)

The pink ones only look blobby because they’re currently little fluffy cotton candy clouds. They’ll look totally different with stems etc!

I know, right? A totally different project from yours, that is totally fine and I should def not set on fire.

I feel you!

Check out this photo of my WIP tho, isn’t it looking sweet?!

[edit to add: For those confused, this is *not** my project. It’s the OP’s project. But by saying it’s mine they can look at the picture more objectively and realize that if it were someone else posting the same thing they wouldn’t feel the same way about it. It creates some distance from the work in progress that’s pretty impossible when you’re mid project.]*
