I’m also going to redesign the user interface on Stituation Critical, I’m not skilled at it, but I am sure even a dog could do better than the current one. #CrossStitch

My cross stitch software never followed a formal design so the code is not as well structured as well as it should be. Anyway, I’m going to formalise the design and start refactoring it this weekend.

I have some uv resin and two part resin. I’ll try the uv stuff this weekend.

I thought about it, but not sure it would work. Might try setting one in resin.

It’s a long way to go and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be allowed in lol. I am planning a trip to York museum this year, I last visited it in 1984.

I’m absolutely embracing my inner train nerd again, so was reminiscing about commuting between Tile Hill and Birmingham New Street when I was a teenager. Anyway, this is a class 310 EMU photographed at Coventry platform 3, so it’s extremely likely I have been on this beauty several times.

Time is still short for me, so doing small bits on this stamped bookmark. Hoping to get a bit more time this weekend though.

A pile of embroidery floss trimmings lay in a big wad.  There's blue, white, and a lot of gold metallic floss bits mixed together.  A blurry pair of embroidery scissors rests on the left.  Work in Progress Wednesday.

I'm working with metallics and wowee, have I got myself in a pickle. It's too late to change now. 😅

Here is my #WipWednesday! Still doing this stamped bookmark as time is a little short, but might try designing some #Knotwork over the weekend. #CrossStitch

Struggling for motivation today. Was going to work on an ESP32 project but it’s like a busman’s holiday.

It’s #WipWednesday! I haven’t done much #CrossStitch this week as I have been busy with other things. I started a stamped bookmark though as it is easy to pick up and put down. I have a couple of software projects on the go as well.

I haven’t done much again this week, but started a stamped bookmark as it is easy to pick up and put down. I have an enormous raven pattern to start soon though.

A cross stitch project in progress showing the shape of a cicada, the outline of the wings and the carapace are stitched.  The fabric is mottled in pink, purples, and blues.  Work in Progress Wednesday.

I love hand-dyed aidas because it's like stitching on a painting.

It’s #WipWednesday. So I did a bit of #CrossStitch on Beracwyn, and I have also been working on two Easter designs. Also I got a new 3D printer and have designed some cutesy plant labels. #3DPrinting

A cross stitch project in a square embroidery hoop, showing parts of a black bird, perched on a branch, and some piecemeal pink flowers stitched.  The photo is staged with some bobbinated flosses and a pair of snake-shaped scissors. Work in Progress Wednesday.

I have been a bit sidetracked this week by a new 3D printer, but I did get a bit of progress on Beracwyn.

One small change between the two. Do you prefer left or right?

A cross stitch pattern design of a cute grey cat sitting beside a milk bottle with a straw with the text ‘Maggie Thatcher stole my milk’ stitched underneath. The design is framed in a circular hoop and the feline and floss logo is in the bottom left-hand corner.

Hands up if you too were wronged by 1980s Tory policy 😢

We survived, the milk did not.
Some of us are still processing this.

This one’s for us.

Click the shop link in bio for the pattern.

Here is the kitteh version of the plant labels. The whole thing is a bit thicker to make it less wobbly, and the black layers are supported from behind by solid white layers. I’m quite happy with them. #3DPrinting #CAD #Maker
