How it started, how it's going. 🍂
After trying in vain to find a nice embroidery idea, I just came up with my own. Is it objectively very good embroidery? Probably not. Did I de-wrinkle my brain by doing it instead of something else? Yes. Would a plan or more thread options have helped? Yes. Is it now on there? Certainly! 😆

#Embroidery #HandSewing

I'm not an embroiderer. I can embroider things, but it's the same difference between being able to slap together a chair that doesn't fall over right away - doing carpentry - and making something beautiful and lasting that you can sit on - being a carpenter!

Both are valuable but they're not the same!

@sinituulia I feel the same way about my cross stitch. I don't feel like I'm creating artwork, I feel like I'm just doodling silly ideas in thread.
Like I don't measure up to the people who embroidered my second hand tablecloths or bedsheets, even though they probably felt the same way that I do. 😅

@Gulleko It was a different time and purpose, though! They were decorating something that already was going to be used for something, but making it pretty and something they'd hopefully be proud of... Not that everyone was very good at it. 😆 But it was something that people were supposed to do, and there would either be artistry in that or not.

...I have fully forgotten my original point. Well. Must not have been very important!
