Personally I can tell exactly who each of my 4 #blahaj are by cut and fur texture, but not everyone can and I have memory issues! So they're getting tattoos. I don't mind that they're messy. That's part of what makes them feel like home. This is Finn Rider's name tag.
It's not super clear from this pic but the text goes along the tail. I'll do Sideburns, Patchy, and Three next, possibly only when I put zippers in them. It's hard to manage the #embroidery knots otherwise.

Also tried FlossCross yesterday, made this crosstitch pattern of a Tiger Barb with a watercolour I painted years ago as a base image.
If anyone would like to try it, let me know!
It has 19 DMC colours.

Day 71: I started embroidering words from the poem “The Moon is a Kite” by Andrea Gibson. It’s not going g to look like much until I finish and dissolve the transfer paper.

Trying KXstitch (on Linux) to make crosstitch patterns, a bit of a learning curve but pretty cool!
Now let's see if I can export it in any way :)

I’m looking for someone with a #sewing machine capable of doing #embroidery. I want to have tags made on canvas with a length in feet embroidered onto the tag in bold numbers about 2 inches tall. For example, 35’ or just 35. The tag edges must be finished and I will be adding a grommet. I'll need 11 of these with varying lengths. I'll pay a reasonable price. I’d rather hand this off to a craftsperson than find a fancy embroidery shop to do it. Please boost for exposure. #SupportArtistsAndMakers

Le ptit #défiBroderie qui avance tout doucement (c'est hyper dur parce que j'ai une épaisseur de tissu pas possible entre le tissu éponge + un patch en coton très épais derrière histoire de reboucher le trou dans le torchon...)

Wow. This university student is doing memes in needlework, and I believe they are a wizard. You must see #GrumpyCat in blackwork #embroidery

And Harambe in #needlelace. Among others.

Just go.

I’m getting ready for a tea dying experiment, with some of the cotton threads I thrifted last week.
I’ll let you know how that goes! 😁👏🤞

My favorite pair of home pants developed holes on one thigh. This shall not be borne!

I've been trying #VisibleMending lately, so here's another try. The biggest leaf is large enough to cover all of the holes, but I wanted to add two more leaves for pure visual balance, and embroidered some decorative elements as well.
