Been on auto-pilot for the past few months, but ready to dive back into designing and stitching.

Part 2 of my stitch series, the basic back stitch! I originally created this series over a year ago, but now have a new place to share. 😊

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

If anyone uses Frixion pens for their #crossstitch and #fiberarts this notice is making the rounds in social media currently
An email stating: Thank you for getting back to us. We are so pleased to hear you managed to remove the FriXion marks. We actually contacted HQ regarding this issue. They came back to us with the following: "About this matter, this is not because the ink has re-colouring, but because the direct sunlight has hit the area where the writing was done with Frixion, causing the transparent ink to deteriorate and turn brown under UV light. Frixion ink is only "transparent" to begin with, but it is not completely erased. The ink remains on the spot. The residual ink deteriorates under ultraviolet light and turns brown. Additionally, originally, frixion inks are not highly light resistant. We urge retallers and end-users to refrain from displaying, using and storing them in direct sunlight. This is not only because of the risk of colour fading at temperatures above 60'C, but also because the products are not lightfast. Paper and cloth alike will deteriorate over time and become brownish in colour when exposed to direct sunlight. Frixion is mainly intended for use on notebooks and diaries and is not intended for use on items that may be exposed to direct sunlight. You can continue to use Frixion for embroidery, but please be careful placing your work in direct sunlight." We hope this information is more useful. Kind regards, Pilot Pen UK Marketing

Georges Seurat, Embroidery, 1882, conté crayon on paper
A black and white drawing of a woman looking down at the needle work in her hands, or figure, largely and shadow except for the light falling on the crown of her head and her chest, and portions of her hands. the technique of Conte crayon produces a very blurred and soft image.

Don’t abandon your art/music/game/whatever just because you found someone already had the same idea. A creative work is rarely unique because of the first idea, it’s unique by the end because of the hundreds of ideas that spawn from that first one.
