To cope with… well, you know... ::makes vague gesture:: EVERYTHING for the last 3 years, I’ve been puttering away at a series of cross stitch projects to cheer myself up through the effective combination of (1) swearing and (2) stabbing.

10/10 highly recommend. Here’s what I’ve made so far:

[ID: Photo 1: Overhead photo of a group of 9 cross stitch hoops and a rectangular framed cross stitch. They contain various swear words and motivational messages related to swearing.

Photo 2: Overhead photo of a cross stitch hoop with black fabric and the word "fuck!" stitched in rainbow gradient lowercase cursive letters, circled by rainbow French knots. The hoop is surrounded by bobbins of thread in rainbow colors.

Photo 3: Close up photo of a cross stitch hoop with the word "fuck!" is stitched in rainbow cursive letters, surrounded by French knots.

Photo 4: Overhead photo of 4 cross stitch hoops in navy blue or white fabric. In small text they each have repetitive swear words stitched: (1) goddamnit, (2) oh shit, (3) fuck, and (4) bitch.

Photo 5: Overhead photo of a framed cross stitch with blue fabric. The white large-font stitched text reads: "Don't give up. You can swear the whole time. Just don't give up." There is small yellow cursive text stitched inserted with a caret in between "whole" and "time" that reads "motherfucking goddamn".

Photo 6: Close up photo of a cross stitch hoop with pink fabric. The purple and silver stitched text reads: "Maybe swearing will help?"

Photo 7: Close up photo of a group of 7 cross stitch hoops with fabric that is either white, navy blue, pink, or light blue. They each have repetitive swear words stitched in a small font: (1) bloody hell, (2) bitch, (3) fuck, (4) oh shit, (5) assorted swear words with tangled thread, (6) goddamnit, (7) assorted swear words and insults. /.End ID]

Crafty details and more info under the cut.

Many of these (especially the mini hoops) were done in between working on larger projects, to take a little break from full coverage pieces, or to use up leftover fabric or leftover thread. I’d never finished the back of an embroidery hoop using felt before, and did several of the hoops so I would have a chance to practice my blanket stitch and whip stitch. I also wanted to experiment with dyeing fabric, and getting more practice with French knots.

Fabric and size details:

Each of the small hoops are 3-inch with 14-count aida.

The rainbow fuck! is a 5-inch hoop with 16-count black aida.

The pink Maybe swearing will help is a 5-inch hoop with 14-count aida (dyed in grape koolaid, lol!), and uses DMC Satin Floss #S762. (Never again!)

And the Don’t give up piece is 8" by 10" on 14-count Nordic Blue aida.

Pattern credits:

Lettering for the rainbow fuck! hoop was modified from Oh Wow Stitch on Etsy.

Font for the Don’t give up piece was from adapted from SuncatcherStudio.

And I've seen the quote "maybe swearing will help" stitched a bunch, but wanted to make my own pattern for it. I had a lot of fun hiding some grawlixes among the flowery vine. :)

Totally okay to reblog but please do not repost to other sites. Thanks!

Around a year ago I started an embroidery project which I had no fucking clue what I was getting myself into. "Van Gogh-inspired Halloween-y Cat In The Moon" as a surprise for @theintrovertinthetower (who has a magnificent black cat)..."if I can draw it, how how hard could it be?" i asked myself, incorrectly.

well. It took me a long fuckin time. But it turned out!?! well, even??

I went so insane over this that I even braided the cord for the border. I think the whole thing took me around 90 hours. If I had known the needle eye size I used for most of it was a terrible decision any earlier it might have only taken me around 30 hours! The last two thirds took me significantly less time than the first third. Super fun, and I learned so much!

I'm gonna do something easier next

Colours definitely not true to life, but done and dusted!

I swear I have to reinvent the wheel every time with French knots. I need three hands!

I have decided to move on to my next project. (I got a set of three off of Amazon, so this is the second of that set.)

I also made the decision to leave all French knots for dead last. As in, I will do everything else, but the French knot, then once all three only have that left, I will attempt them again.

Those knots still have one up on me. I need to reassess.

OKAY

SO a few months ago i got into really embroidery. I love it. Its relaxing and repetitive, but not too repetitive to bore me.

But i had one enemy. My textiles teacher in my school agreed when i said that i despise doing french knots.

However, ive been mostly doing floral patterns because theyre simple and it doesnt have to be specific. But that comes with the pain of french knots.

Today i decided to try and embroider some stuff on my clothes for the first time, and i dont know how but i got this french knot that i could see, for once, where exactly id gone wrong. So i could change my technique, and i did.

And i am so fucking proud of myself for how good this shit is

Its not perfect of course, and i might seem silly for getting excited over something so small.

But this is a big achievement in my book, and as someone who is often embarrased and scared of trying to learn new skills, i think its okay for me to be proud of myself sometimes.

TL;DR is, i did the embroidery good :) making progress.

Happy Star Wars day everyone!

Here are all the Star Wars embroideries I’ve made over the years. They are all different because Star Wars has been a big part of my life for a long time. I always go back to Star Wars to challenge my creativity. I love it so much. May the 4th be with You~
