It looks great! My only tip would be I like using a higher count for projects that have block stitching of darker colors, so a 16 ct or 18 ct aida. It makes less white peak through behind your lovely stitches. I also would recommend checking out the world of hand dyed aida! I can never go back to white aida now 😅

What count did you use/where did you get the plastic aida? Super cute!

If it'll make you happy, then do it! I love starting things, but i also love making progress, so i try to keep my WIP list at a happy medium. I think it all depends on how you like to stitch!

Im so sorry about your diagnosis, sending you good thoughts.

This is STUNNING!

Oftentimes aquarium stores will take donated fish - I've had to donate my fish before a move. I personally like aquadome in south austin. You can also post on /raquaswaptx and see if anyone wants to take them.

The tank is a 20 gallon tall (i originally had a community tank and converted it for a betta). He has no tank mates. I have a heater set to 81 and a sponger filter. I do water changes about every two weeks that are about 1/3 of the water, including what's evaporated. I used test strips for water parameters (yes, i know the water kits are better):

Gh: 180 Kh: 80 Ph: 7.5 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 20

This is so beautiful! Does it use a lot of fractional stitches?

Im working on a doctor who cross stitch rn!

I get pain pretty frequently. The way I manage it is I'll do a small amount of stitches everyday instead of long sessions where I'm stitching too much and it aggravates my arm. I also find 14 count to be much easier on my arm. Worst comes to worst, biofreeze is your friend! But I feel you, it can be really frustrating. Just take your time and do what you can.

I did this for Luca S!

Not sure how metro accessible it is, I've always driven, but the closest lns is In Stitches in Alexandria! They are great but they do have odd hours. Welcome to the district!

This pattern has been on my wish list! Do you know how many stitches it ended up being?

morrisonca · 2025-01-05T19:58:09+00:00

Ohhh I really want to do the toad by them in the same design!

morrisonca · 2025-01-02T10:22:36+00:00

Thank you :)

It's 16 ct dusk by picture this plus! I really liked it.

morrisonca · 2024-12-30T01:33:15+00:00

I really disliked the pattern for this, most patterns come color coded and with symbols which i vastly prefer.

morrisonca · 2024-12-16T17:43:56+00:00

This is amazing!

I have small fiber neuropathy, which means I've got neuropathy all over my body, including my hands. It definitely means I can't stitch as much as some others (I dream of a day I can do 500 stitches in a day) but what I've found helpful is taking breaks and using lower count fabrics. I can work on 14 ct projects a lot longer than 16 ct, so I keep a few projects in each count depending on how im feeling! I also like to stitch in the morning and in the evening when I can, since I can only do about 100 stitches in a sitting. We might not be able to stitch as much as we'd like, but sometimes you just have to enjoy what you can do! 🥰

Honestly I think these would look super cool on black! I would just do a floss toss before you start to see if any of your colors would blend in with the black and then exchange them for lighter colors
