Maybe sitting out in my stupidly picturesque (from certain angles) backyard will make me feel less awful (I have shifted from “obsessively completing craft projects” lonely to “crushing self-loathing” lonely)

Had to get a pic of them together but now I’m left wondering, where do I go from here? Giant embroidered Revenge? Even tinier embroidered Revenge??

I have been left alone for too long and am rapidly losing my mind

ANYWAY

I love the Revenge so much and I am so pleased with how this turned out 😭

Ok this might be the best thing I’ve ever done (tied with kiwis and lighthouse scarf)

When I showed this to @aliassamm.bsky.social they very generously framed my decision to fill the background as “ambitious” rather than the more accurate “stupid”

When it came time to expand the inn, the boys each had a surprise in mind

Stede painted the new cottage lavender for Ed

Ed finally let Stede get bees

Sadly Stede is allergic to bees 🤦🏼

(I need to re-read Liquid Gold)

Carving pumpkins is my favorite part of Halloween but things have just been too hectic this year, so here’s a throwback to past OFMD pumpkins

2 years ago, I published my first-ever fanfic about Izzy haunting our innkeepers: archiveofourown.org/works/51177496

I read back over it recently and it’s not half bad - I’m also amused to discover that I predicted DJenks’ scene of Buttons and Izzy in the gravy basket 👀

Lmao it’s horrible quality, which is why I didn’t include it in the first place, but here you go

Y’all they are so cute 😭

AND still in stock: kikay.shop/products/ros...

Kikay’s earrings are so nice and so lightweight, I have a stupid number of pairs and they hold up great - I really can’t recommend them enough

Nice to think that our crew is out there somewhere, just waiting for us to welcome them back

A chandelier in a two-seater car? That’s overkill

(Believe me when I say that if there had been two, I would have bought both and found another place to hang the second)

Ending with the beginning! These are the first two sections I did. There are some things I would definitely do differently if I was doing it now, but given that I hadn’t done anything more than extremely basic embroidery before this, I’m so pleased with it 💜💜💜

A closeup of an embroidery sampler themed around the show Our Flag Means Death, showing two wedge-shaped sections. The one on the left is labeled “IZZY” and includes a heart, a salt shaker, a group of lit candles, a paper that reads “NEW UNICORN,” a spade, a rose, and a black cravat with a ring at the knot. The one on the right is labeled “ROOM PEOPLE” and includes a doodle of a sad little guy, a cat ear headband, a lute, music notes, an eye with sparkly blue eyeshadow, the word “DRAMA,” a needle and spool of thread, a lit match, a wrapped mint, and a heart.
