Still some touch up to do but heres my “beautiful side of bad weather” stitch.
I actually love being cozy indoors on rainy days. I don’t feel guilty for being inside or doing nothing.
Pattern is from ParticularEmbroidery on Etsy. This is my 2nd pattern from the shop. Love their style.

This was my first time doing basket weave stitch and woven picot stitch (for the plant and basket). They were super fun!

Organized my floss (yes this is organized for me! 
) and cleaned out a ton of old/loose/small threads…ready for more efficient stitching!

Ok, I love the stumpwork plant action but OMG that thread pile made my heart leap! Tell me you’re doing something cool with that? If it went into the trash I can’t know! Eep!

I am trying to make scrappy cards but my machine has decided to not cooperate. Currently investigating why my bobbin case keeps jumping. Down 2 needles so far…
I will post my hoop once I clean it up a bit a decide how I’m finishing.

I donated all the tulle in my stash & now I want some for sewing bits to stuff. Have you got any? It makes for an easier machine sewing surface.
Best of luck figuring out the machine!

I’m going to drop off a laminator to the crafting studio, their social brunch is on today. I gave her all that stuff, she might have it there. We’ll see.
