Am browsing a Victorian sewing manual, as I am wont to do. Have one of those little decorative multi-tier tea service or cake stands taking up space in the cupboard, unused? Well, do the Victorians have a solution for you!
Embellish the heck out of the contraption and put some sewing things on it. 😆

I assume some hot glue could be used to great hecking effect, here.

Meanwhile. There's a bunch of embroidery stitches and plenty of designs I've never seen in this book I'm now browsing. Here's a pretty conventional but absolutely lovely satin & crewel stitch sampler to entice you. "Art in needlework", 1900.

@sinituulia oh, i should look it up, i do some occasional crewel that I then have no idea what to do with.
@weilaverdui There is a link, not just a picture... If archive dot org works for you
@sinituulia yeah, I am looking into it when I have time. Still need to get up -_-

@weilaverdui I have not slept very many hours and my reading comprehension also is not great.

I wanted to use a blob-emoji to convey my tiredness and meltiness, but there is not one for my needs. This made me unreasonably upset.
