And I am so lucky!
When it became apparent that I really loved cross stitching, my mother handed over the two cigar boxes with threads that she had received from her mother-in-law (my paternal grandmother). Whenever I start a new project, I seldom have to purchase new threads, because I can usually find an alternate color to fit the design.
Occasionally, I will buy new threads, and I love the idea that the cardboard cards will have DMC numbers in my grandmother's, my mother's and in my handwriting.
For this project, I am not buying new threads, I will simply swap DMC º3 for DMC º318.

In between all this knitting (yay, great fun!), a new cross stitch embroidery stich-along caught my eye: a new design by Climbing Goats.

Wachtend op de KPN monteur kruissteek ik vrolijk door. En terwijl ik wacht, zingen jullie dan mee met de soundtrack in mijn hoofd?

Met de aankomende gemeenteverkiezingen zit het prachtige gedicht Stemadvies van Babs Gons weer in mijn hoofd.
En dan vooral deze ontroerende strofe:
als ik zeg stem strategisch
dan bedoel ik stem met jezelf in gedachten
als iemands favoriete voorouder
Dat vroeg om een borduurversie: voel je vrij dit ontwerp op te slaan en te gebruiken!

Continuing with my letter-based cross stitch embroidery, this time lyrics from one of my favorite songs. I have made this one before in dark blue/red letters, but as I still had the lilac floss right besides me, I decided to use the lilac/red combination.
From the movie Victor/Victoria, music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, performed by Julie Andrews.

The yellow version will probably hang from a window next to my front door soon.

After a large cross stitch project, I always enjoy picking up smaller ones.
With the world in its current state, I find I love stitching slogans from various sources.
Twirly decorations with straight talking text, a wonderful combination!
