I had a great weekend! My job is amazing and flew me out for our holiday party. They also covered my hotel and transportation. The party was SO SO much fun. I took some cross stitch stuff with me in case I wanted to do any at any point. I always take it and never do it, but I guess it's best to have it just in case the mood takes me. I just don't like answering a ton of questions- it never fails that if I am doing cross stitch or embroidery, I get flooded with random questions from random strangers. I hate the airport and so it's not the place I want to chat to people.
When I got home and settled, I decided that I wanted to do an embroidery piece. I had printed out the entire sheet of the pattern collaboration between Sublime Stitching and Julie West. I have done a few little guys from that sheet in the past on onesies, but I just wanted to do one for the heck of it, so I chose the bee flying over flowers. I'll probably do each one of the characters on the sheet.
I went to the Sublime Stitching page and the patterns have gotten a little advanced. I don't particularly enjoy painting with my embroidery floss. I prefer simple embroidery with outlines and maybe some other stitching styles here and there but I don't have the patience or talent to do a piece filled in entirely, and that's what a lot of the patterns look like. I'm not AT ALL knocking that... it's just not what I prefer.
ANYWAY, I went to look at the simpler PDF patterns and a lot of the old school ones are no longer available, which made me really glad I grabbed most of them back in the day! I still have some of the actual iron-ons I got when Ginger's Needleworks was open in Austin, and I think I got the PDF version of those as well in case I lost them or wore them out.
I'm babbling... here is my sweet little piece I finished while watching my weekly Christmas horror movie- Silent Night (2017)!
