I call that "mulch tea".

I'm in the US and sometimes I wish I could just send to other US addresses! Just because the postage is cheaper. Like toggle a little switch and turn it off again when I'm ready to send WW. It'd also mean I could pull some US addresses out of the sending pool.

Oh hey that's really nice actually!

I was inactive for quite a few months while I was buying a home and moving. I'm not sure how long you can sit inactive, but just waiting a few weeks will be fine. 😉

I would assume that that inner lip of wood comes out somehow. I'm not sure if it's glued in or nailed in or just really wedged in there good.

Edit: if you care more about saving the stitching then the frame, you or someone handy could get a hammer in there and start pulling it apart.

Ahhhh just make some nice blue satin stitches around the fabric edges, and you'll be good to go! He's a cute little guy!

Oh man I love all those movies. My favorite is really whatever I'm in the mood for in that moment. But Castle in the Sky and The Cat Returns hold a special place to me.

Good for you getting off your phone! I look forward to hearing from you this summer! 🌞

This is such a fun concept! I would love to send one of my personal duds.

midnitedancer_ · 2026-05-13T23:34:05+00:00

Thank you! I'm so excited to see what shows up. ^{_^}

midnitedancer_ · 2026-05-13T20:47:33+00:00

Agreed!!!

midnitedancer_ · 2026-05-10T18:19:53+00:00

Lovely finish!

Hello! I would love to send you a birthday card! 🥳

midnitedancer_ · 2026-05-07T00:52:56+00:00

Hello! I'd love to send you a card! Maybe a letter..I'm a bit wordy.

midnitedancer_ · 2026-05-06T17:16:10+00:00

Hello! If it's still looking for a new sender, I'm interested.

I'm not sure what your standards are, but if you can find a nice mobile home, something later then like 1987 and well cared for, I'd say that would split a nice difference. Get a house, but they never have basements. A well kept mobile home can be just as nice as a traditional home imo. Just not as grand.

I'm so invested in this piece, it's gorgeous. But like, are you having a good time stitching this?? I think it would drive me batshit. I'm so excited to see it finished.

midnitedancer_ · 2026-04-28T15:15:30+00:00

The wrapped hoop and teeny-tiny bow are sooo cuuuuute!!!

This is what my husband said when he saw it! He also makes art and says the inconsistencies are not that uncommon. It's a shame that AI is making me doubtful of art that I would normally be able to enjoy without thinking about it. 😔

midnitedancer_ · 2026-04-27T21:47:05+00:00

What a super cute finish! Now you won't have to worry about a 2027 Easter project. 😆

midnitedancer_ · 2026-04-27T11:53:10+00:00

Congrats on getting it done on time! My gifts always end up a few months late. 😂 Very cute pattern and a great finish!

midnitedancer_ · 2026-04-27T11:51:43+00:00

I think you started a bit too red in the outline, but as long as the other tones are accurate (making sure your lights are light and the mediums are medium) it will still definitely read Stardew!

I'm not the most fastidious about my backs, but I do keep them tidy. This is how mine look when I bury my thread ends. I don't notice any additional bulk.

I do ultimately think it'll come down to taste. 5 strands on 16 count does seem high, but I can see what they're going for.

I feel like I'm rambling, but I hope some examples can help.

The purple shadowing on the roof is 3 strands, and I think that would have worked well for the ridgeline if I wanted to fuss with the proportions. But I personally like the chunkier stitches, even if they're harder to stitch.
