Cross stitch and embroidery

Totoro was too big to bring so I grabbed the little katamari damacy kit my kids got me for Christmas. It was a normal pattern but at the last second I came up with the joke and had to use it. (for those not familiar with the game you play as a prince)

Found this on YouTube in relation to project prep & organization & thought I'd share. I already have my own way I prep & organize for projects, but I still thought it was amazing & that someone else may want to see if it works for them. The video also shows some clips of how they organize floss into binders, though not how they do that part, and I thought that was pretty ingenious too.

I had to frog almost all the progress I made last week and redo it after realizing I'd somehow stitched everything in the new section one row too low... Thankfully I got caught back up and made a little more progress though so I hope this panel will be done by Friday!

I'm finally starting the dragon!

Also here is a little tiny Sakura tree I started! I still have to do all the back stitching

Probably close to half done with this color of rain. It's... something. I definitely have to convince myself a little more to work on it.

There aren't really any other instructions included on the PDF. I think it's supposed to be a half stitch of one color and then a half stitch of the other maybe?

I started it to keep my hands occupied during a class. I love the simple 2-color pattern. I picked the kit up from Stitched Modern.

Making good progress on Philly! I have made it to the right edge of the pattern. 2 over 1 on 18 count Aida.

Those little flowers took a while to finish but I'm really happy with how they came out! I think by the end of today I'll be able to finally move on to the next section!

I started this some time in 2022. I did the head and part of the left arm, and then got distracted and left it in a box.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I found the box and decided I need to finish the cat!

I made a neat shape yesterday called a humybug. I'd never done one before. Followed the tutorial here: https://plushcat.blogspot.com/p/humbug-tutorial.html. You start with a rectangle and sew it into a little tetra shape. It's cute. I think it would make a good cat toy. :)

Another massive project. 3.77% done

This section is taking a while since there's so much confetti stitching between the pink sections! Hopefully by the end of the week this part will look like flowers lol!

Since it's not actually Wednesday (and because I wanted to document it somehow) you get a picture of the back. I'm done with everything but the rain. And I fully expect that to make the back look ... different. So here you go. 😅

Took 5 1/2 to 6 hours of #CrossQuilting, but it's finished! #PatrioticWithLadybug #PrayerCloth has #CrossStitch on the front panel and is #CrossQuilted to make the project double-sided.

Once I finish the first half of No Faces mask and the bottom where Chihiro's shirt is I can finally move on to the side sections!

I have very painful joints and expect to get formally diagnosed with arthritis tomorrow. I love cross stitching, but my god does it make my hands hurt. I also work in IT, so my hands are in use all day for my job. I want to be able to craft after work to relax, but my hands just hurt and cramp immediately when I try to work on a project.

Finishing up the tree before the rain rain rain falls down down down. Getting close...
