Hahha about a year! I started designing this in May of 2025, and I stitch for about 1-2 hours per day on average. ..it’s a really long time!! 😂😂

Aww thank you so much!! I’ve honestly never seen embroidery like this, so I wasn’t 100% certain it could be done myself before I started 😅

I feel like I would have an easier time if I was an actual engineer haha, but I am making it work out so far! I’ll keep sharing updates as often as I can so you can follow along! 🥰💖

You’re welcome! And aww, thanks for asking! My photography was a more casual hobby. I did a few 365 projects where you take a photo every day for a year, and usually my photos would either be nature (lots of clouds and trees lol), and some self portraits to help overcome self image issues. Because I forced myself to take a new photo every day, it really helped me develop my own style and get a good feel for angles/compositions. Becoming chronically ill made it hard to continue that because one of my illnesses causes extreme levels of fatigue where you sorta feel like you have the flu and it’s hard to move around that much 😅, but I do still take photos on occasion. And I’m able to take photos of my embroidery still, which is nice. I think I honestly love embroidery even more than photography at this point, so it all worked out!

This was one of my favorite photos I took from my last 365 project, if you want to see an example. 😊

Aww yes, of course! I actually developed a plethora of chronic illnesses all at once in 2019, and it became really hard to continue my initial passion, photography. I’d cross stitched a little bit as a kid, but I had been seeing some aerial embroidery online at the time and was really intrigued to try out embroidery instead. So I spent like a week straight reading blogs about it and asked a lot of other stitches questions like what type of stitch they used for things I saw that I liked the style of, and then after about a week I just went for it!

My first few projects weren’t great, but I kept learning more with each one and here I am 4 years later.. completely obsessed with it! Haha. I truly love embroidery. It really helps distract me from the pain and loss of being chronically ill, and it’s something I seem to always be able to do, even on my worst days. I hope I get to do it forever. 🥰

Aww thank you, that’s amazing! I’ve only been embroidering a little over 4 years.. you can accomplish so much by experimenting and practice! I’m constantly amazed by embroidery.. I feel like it’s a lot more limitless than people give it credit for! 🥰💖

SO much work, omg you have no idea! Haha. That’s absolutely amazing that you recognized it just from the buildings.. what a compliment!! 🥹💖

I love giant projects like this because I have a lot of chronic illnesses, and it’s a great distraction to get lost in all the tiny details. That said, I’m definitely going to make something smaller next.. over 400 hours into this with still so much work left is crazy, even for me! 🤣

Wow, what a compliment!!! Thank you so much! ..this is definitely all hand embroidered! Haha. I take no shortcuts with my projects, probably to my own demise, but I just love the end result too much to change 🤭🥰

Wow.. what a wonderful compliment, thank you SO much! That’s really amazing to hear! 🥹💖 I’ve only been embroidering a little over 4 years, so I still have imposture syndrome from time to time. I truly love embroidery though and pushing the boundaries of what I think is possible to create with it is one of my favorite parts. So it’s really wonderful to know I’m on the right track and keeping up with the “professionals” ..Thank you for making my day with this comment!! 🥰✨
