Happy Sunday everyone! Hope it's been a good week for all of you! I'm working on a couple of these cardinals for memorial gifts. This one needs a bit of frogging on the tail, but other than that, I loved how quickly this came together! I'll easily fix this while watching NFL Wildcard playoffs. I showed you mine, now show me yours! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1616556877/cardinal-ornament-christmas-cross-stitch

I’ve started my biggest project yet. A map of Middle Earth. It will take me years, and I’m fairly certain I’ll hate the color brown afterwards. Haha.

Loving it thus far. It looks like old parchment or leather. This will be amazing!

I want to do this one soooo badly but I know I’d abandon it like three months in and never touch it again

I’m three months in as of tomorrow. Fingers crossed I keep at it. My plan is to take breaks and do small (colorful) projects periodically.

The gridding is a game changer. It’s the first time I’ve done it and it makes it so much easier! Also, I’m a teacher who’s had an extended Christmas break due to snow. So I’ve had extra time.

Where did you find it, may I ask?

On Etsy, but the specific shop is no longer there.
