The great 2024 #decluttering has turned up this. It’s a washable colouring in map thingy. I’m very tempted to turn it into a small quilt. Maybe with flags around the outside as a border? Could maybe colour in the critters with embroidery? πŸ€”

Hmmm… I don’t really do embroidery, but never mind!

One fishy done.

#embroidery #craft

And a tiny tree.

And a Portuguese man o’war.

Not a jellyfish, but a siphonophore.

And a bigger, faster fishy.

And Golden Gate Bridge.

Should be orange, but I did it in red (didn’t have the right orange, which is apparently international orange).

And two big Saguaro with a tiny person.

And Mount Fuji and a Red Crowned crane.

And the stackable brides of Chucky.

Mistakes were made (and poorly covered up!).

And a sea monster, which is less scary than the dolls tbh.

And the Eiffel Tower

And Ferdinand

Progress is being made.

And a ship.

Still need to do the smoke. πŸ’¨

#embroidery #craft #fiberArt

And a tiger.

A tiger that has seen some serious sh*t.

#embroidery #craft #fiberArt

And a moose. A happy moose.

And some beetroot soup.

And a wildebeest.

Definitely not unix.

And looking at the picture, I forgot to give it eyes! Oops!

And a hummingbird.

Progress so far. Going to need to start to think about which ones I do next and embroidery hoop placement… 😬

And a fallow deer

It was probably meant to be a reindeer but the antlers were the wrong shape.

Bonus: a team of dogs pulling a sled. But they’re quite big, so possibly dire wolves.

#embroidery #craft #sewing

And a plaice.

(I’m going to re-do the eyes πŸ‘€ )

@CurlyParakeet I don't know what I'd do with that thing and would be a total waste of time and materials, but I really wish I had one, it looks so much fun to fill in lol!

@sahqon

It’s really good fun to do. EatSleepDoodle do placemat sized ones too. 😊

@CurlyParakeet Hm. It occurs to me that they have bags and stuff too, and I have two canvas bags we got in work with christmas gifts that I don't use because company logo... but if that logo got overstitched....
@CurlyParakeet please can you spend the rest of my life saying β€œand a [insert random thing here]” and showing me a really cool piece of embroidery? honestly, every post is making me happy!
@CurlyParakeet
You keep saying you’re not good at embroidery but that lion is really good!!

@CurlyParakeet

I knew I should have bought those beetroot yesterday - now my appetite for Borscht has increased even more!

@CurlyParakeet they’re perfect πŸ’œ
