The BIGGEST turn off for me is when a guy sees my personal interests as his personal challenge to tweak and adjust them to his way of liking because “what he likes is better.” It’s so gross.
Scene 1: Man and woman sit in a bed with the covers over them, on their phones. The man says “It’s not real music. It’s manufactured bullshit.” Scene 2: Same scene, but the woman is looking at the man with a serious expression and says “Don’t make me feel stupid for loving things.”

Out of all of the hairstyles that were submitted and made it to the finalist tier, they decided to go ahead and make this one part of the game. I just. I can’t. I cannot. #ffxiv

Enjoying the new crafting update. This is my jaaaaaaam. #ffxiv #spacebun #VIERAHAT
A viera standing on a pink space rock overlooking alien vegetation, clad in a metallic pink astronaut suit. Her ears are also showing in this suit which is a big deal because fffxiv has historically shafted Viera by excluding them from any new hats.

I have been just super sick for the last week. It has sucked. I have not embroidered because I don’t want to sneeze and cough all over my beautiful art.

So I guess in the meantime uhhh…. please accept this pic of my sweet, soft cat being an absolute goblin.
A tabby cat sitting on the arm of a couch with her two front paws dangling down in front of her. Her eyes are HUGE which usually means she’s about to attack someone.

This is actual real footage of me trying to flirt with a boy I like. 🥹 #lotr #millenial #flirting
A screenshot of a message I sent on discord to a boy I fancy, it says “If you’re bored and need something to do we can watch LOTR (Lord of the Rings). I’ll allow it. My benevolence is legendary.”

slowly but surely adding in tiny beads scattered throughout the french knots to add some depth and variety and texture as I fill in the gaps! #embroidery #art #abstract
an abstract embroidery piece featuring circular wheels, rosettes, and raised stars on warm yellow cloth, surrounded by tiny stitches of various shades of green, to give an overall impression of flowers in a patch of clover.

Taking a small break from the hydrangeas project (Read: I have to iron the fabric and I don’t wannaaaa) to do some zen embroidering. A lot more abstract, but very fun. I couldn’t help but make a story out of it so now it’s a field of flowers. Excited to watch it come together! #embroidery #art
a partially completed embroidery project featuring circles of thread with lines running through them (button stitch) swirled circles (woven wheel), and small circles with raised lines in the shape of a star (whipped wheel), with small green french knots densely packed in the space between them.

I still have to add background effects, but I finished the bushes. Size 10 needle, beading needle, and a skein of 3865 for scale. These are TINY. Definitely recommend a magnifier for this kind of work. #embroidery #hydrangeas #art
an embroidered pattern of very delicate hydrangea bushes of varying shades of pinks, purples, and blues, with touches of white and greens.

Two bushes down, one to go, then I have to add the leaves, waterfall, and branches. The end is in sight but it’s still a ways off 🥹 #embroidery #hydrangeas

hundreds and hundreds of teeny french knots later and I have the first hydrangea bush done. Only…two more to go 🥹

Finished it! This pattern is from Emillie Ferris’s embroidery class on Domestika, definitely worth the investment. I had so much fun with this, it taught me a LOT of thread painting foundationals. Really proud of my progress ^^ #embroidery #threadpainting #art

I’ve been working on thread painting this lil butterfloof this morning. I love how much I’m learning and I love seeing the piece come to life thread by thread. So addicting! #embroidery

finished another one. I’m going a little crazy trying to figure out the fabric that came with this kit, I even emailed the product line to see if they can tell me. ITS SO SOFT. I have SPD so anything like this that doesn’t catch on my fingers or make my teeth hurt is amazing. #embroidery
a finished (for once!) embroidery piece featuring the outline of a deer head in dark brown, with a crown of flowers on top of its head, intertwined with the antlers. The main flower is a mix of red and yellow and a dusky pink orange, with several rust and pink flowers scattered among leaves and vines, and tiny buds of yellow, pink, and dark pink on the fringes.

Learning the thread stitch has been SO eye-opening. I already wish I could redo like 8 things but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made on this. #embroidery
partially embroidered scene of a beach with waves coming in, clouds roll in from the distance, and behind them slowly a blue sky is being stitched in. Very slowly.

But I bought a bunch and have to make sure it gets used.

When you’re trying to embroider but you have a cat
