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! 😆
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!
Yesterday I did not stop for the night, but instead changed the top flower a bit, and started on another leaf. I want to change the flower a little more, but genuinely need to stop on this side since I also need to do the other side... But as a treat, perhaps I finish the leaf today before I get started on doing the things I actually need to do today!
I think it might have to do for now. I did get distracted with the decorative bit and forgot the functional bit (the flossing on the boning channels!) so I'll have to do that later maybe, but... Yes. Definitely a bit wobbly here and there, but looks striking and nice enough!
