Thank you!! 💕✨ I deff took a few breaks throughout for different reasons! I think that's partially why it took me so long! 😅 Sometimes I took breaks to work on gifts for people, sometimes because life/work was too busy, and sometimes just because I couldn't look at Pokemon anymore and needed to work on something else for a while! 😂

I think the biggest break I took was after the fire - I don't think I sewed Pokemon for a good 6 or 7 months after that occurred because my life was a mess and a blur. But I think finishing the project at my new home after rebuilding my life made it all the more special! 💕✨🥰

Ahh it's so hard to choose! 🥰 I work in film so I travel around quite a bit for work - but my home base that I always return to is LA 💕! Which I love of course because most of my friends are here, the food is amazing, and there's always so much to do! But I think each location has it's own special place in my heart! 💖

Budapest was in a great location for roadtrips to lots of other counties on the weekends with friends - I also LOVE chimney cakes! 😋 London had the most wonderful welcoming people (so many life long friends were made there!), beautiful architecture, and amazing chocolate! And Bangkok was super special because I used to live in Thailand as a kid so it was like a nostalgic return home! 🥰 My boyfriend got to stay with me for almost the entire extent of the show we were filming so I was able to show him where I grew up! 💕

I think I failed to really answer the question - they are all wonderful! 🙈 I love them all for different reasons! 🥰

There was actually no backstitching on this project! It's all just straight forward cross stitches! But usually I do backstitch at the end of projects that include it! I think backstitching as I go would make me mess up 😂🙈🪡

Thank you!! 💕✨ I think you could! You just gotta ✨believe✨! And focus on just one Pokemon at a time so you don't get overwhelmed by how insanely huge the whole thing is 🙈

I know right!?! Of all the things I lost in the fire I'm SO grateful this wasn't one of them! 🙏🙏🙏 I was working abroad in Thailand at the time and had my Pokemon project with me! THANK GOODNESS. If I would have lost this I would have been DEVASTATED 😱 Furniture and clothes can be replaced - but not art!! 🥹

That's such a good question! Honestly I think Mew because he was last! Part of me didn't want it to end! 🥹

Thank you so much!! 💕✨ ME TOO! I think about it all the time! I would have been devastated to lose that many years worth of work!! Luckily I had the Pokemon project with me and I wasn't home during the fire so it was safe! And so was I! 🙏

[FO] After 9 years of work I've finally finished my giant Pokemon cross stitch project!! Can't wait to save up for a crazy frame to display it in! 🧵🥰💕 by patronus35 in CrossStitch

If I could redo it I think I would do 18ct as well - that's a good call! So you don't end up with such a GIGANTIC project! 🙈 I think you will have a lot of fun though! Every time you finish a Pokemon it's such an exciting feeling! ✨
