I'm currently working on a series of doorways to other dimensions, just finished one of six. The one I just finished was a stairway to Space! https://www.etsy.com/listing/590877019/doorways-to-other-dimensions-cross It doesn't look hard, but the colors for the stairs especially were SO HARD cause they were really really similar. I got so frustrated at the end b/c I did this on white fabric, and couldn't get my grubby hand marks around the hoop off. I was so frustrated that I just said I GIVE UP!!!! and threw it in the washing machine. It actually came out all cool looking like a frayed fragment of something from the past. I think I'm gonna leave it that way and frame it like it was a map fragment. I was going to try to make them all uniform, but after this insane journey of the first one, I'm going to just let them come out how they come out, and be their unique flawed selves!!

I love cross-stitch Kate! And yes, you have to go freestyle while you're doing it - it makes it so much more exciting and the final product is so much better!

This is such an important thing to continually remind yourself! Have fun with it, make mistakes, people won't necessarily notice what you notice. I love it. What kinds of things do you cross stitch?

Aww, I love hearing about how nicknames started. My nickname in my family is Waz because my dad used to drive across Canada all the time for work and he often crossed this small, muddy river (named Waz-something) that reminded him of me.

I really like the different line weights that the subjects and background details have. I know that's a pretty basic b observation, but it's what stuck out to me. I just got through the most challenging and swear-filled x-stitch of my life as of now, and it made me realize that sometimes following the pattern exactly takes a lot of the fun and satisfaction out of completing a project. Hell, most of the time nobody even notices if it's wonked out, so who cares? Also it kind of makes it more personal? IDK, the point is to have fun creating things, and not everything has to be perfect and that's just as it should be. <3

Tracing is one of the things I like to do best! Very meditative. When my daughter (now 19) was small, she was a very good artist, and I would jokingly accuse her of tracing something rather than drawing it herself. I would call her "Tracey" and it's still a joke between us.
