Where does the time go, honestly.

I've not had much stitchy time the last couple of weeks but with the weather here finally turning in a more Autumnal direction I was inspired to put some time into my Steampunk World Map project.

It's a weird one because one cog can take absolutely ages, but I'm still enjoying it and that's what counts. I've rejigged some dates in my Notion project planner and apparently am going to finish this one by the end of the year so...bearing in mind I started it about 2 years ago and thought it was going to take me a week...watch this space.

What's been keeping you occupied this week? Remember you can embed images like so:

It looks amazing so far! I have to admit I got a bit overwhelmed with the blackwork tarot card so I've put it on hold for a bit, but I'm going to finish it up soon hopefully!

Understandable! Sometimes you need a break and to just do something else for a bit, this is my excuse for always having so many projects on the go at once ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm taking the advice I got from one of your videos and using DMC branded floss on the new piece I just started instead of the floss from that cheap multipack I bought and it is making a WORLD of difference lol

Hah! Honestly I am such a thoroughly cheap person that if I ever advise spending extra on something you know there's got to be a good reason ๐Ÿ˜…

Patiently awaiting project photos of whatever this new start is...

I was waiting until I had some more progress for the WIP post on Wednesday, but I can give you a sneak peek lol

This will eventually look like Wonder Woman hopefully
