Right?! So weird. My wife hit the local thrift place with no luck too. 😂
Yeah I saw some on Amazon but they didn't have many, if any, reviews and the ones that did weren't great reviews. I may have to either settle for a hoop or convince my wife that a square frame/round matte is the way to go.
Question about frames
I want to frame that Totoro stitch and my wife would really prefer a round frame. I don't really want to use just a hoop but have had trouble finding round frames in a 12-14" size that seem nice/decent quality. Anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks! And that's awesome! It's definitely looking great.
Thanks! I love a lot of the little details like that too.
I appreciate it. Hard to believe it's actually finished in some ways
Thank you! I worked pretty hard to keep the back nice (in spite of the rain)
I totally have two projects already lined up to go... 😅
For grins and chuckles here's the back.
Work in (checks notes) Finished! Stitch finished!
After 10 months. Finished. Biggest project I've tackled to date. I'm super happy right now. Will look for a frame to finish the project for good.
I can see that. The planetoid looking thing is the ball you roll all the things up with in the game.
Yup love that game. The soundtrack lives in my head
Finished vacation stitch
Totoro was too big to bring so I grabbed the little katamari damacy kit my kids got me for Christmas. It was a normal pattern but at the last second I came up with the joke and had to use it. (for those not familiar with the game you play as a prince)
Oh no! Glad it didn't drag-on too long.
Into every life
Probably close to half done with this color of rain. It's... something. I definitely have to convince myself a little more to work on it.
I will admit to some obsessive planning. Doing the bushes was a challenge.
(wip) it's Wednesday somewhere?
Since it's not actually Wednesday (and because I wanted to document it somehow) you get a picture of the back. I'm done with everything but the rain. And I fully expect that to make the back look ... different. So here you go. 😅
That was Not Fun. Mostly because in order to really see it against the black cloth I had to use two strands of black instead of the usual one. But thank you!
Progressing along, but not singing a song (WIP)
Finishing up the tree before the rain rain rain falls down down down. Getting close...
Warning, err work in progress
This is mostly for MrJameGumb because I think you mentioned having this pattern and contemplating doing it on black as well. The sign back stitching. The back stitching... If I'd been able to do it with a single thread I think it would have looked much cleaner. But I needed two to get any visibility. I actually kind of like the top two rows of kanji. That third row... It was not great. Too much in too little space. But that's all of the back stitching. I have realized a danger I'm going to encounter with all of the rain. It's going to be hard to tie off in the open. Hopefully I can figure something out. At any rate onwards and upwards.
I'm still a work in progress.
Still around. Still stitching. The back stitching on this will kill me. Ended up using 2 threads of black as it just wasn't showing up with one and I couldn't settle on an alternate color that made sense/also displayed. You can see one of the colors I tried where I did the stitching for her arms. Or can you? (dun dun dun) Also dark green on black is not fun. BUT! Progress. And I do think it looks good.
Tranquil Garden all lit up
Got the light kit installed this afternoon. My daughter and I had a fun time with this set. The light kit really makes it pop.
WIP Wednesday
The right side (barring rain) is done. On to the left. Trying to decide how to handle it. At the moment I think I'm going to take it in three chunks. The boy to the right of the girls, the girls, the bit to the left. We'll see if that's actually what happens.
Daily Bugle with light (and sound) kit
Took us a little over a month. The light kit install was kind of a bear but so worth it. It plays the old cartoon theme song along with several other sound effects.
Daily bugle with light (and sound) kit
Finally finished the build and kit install. I think it took us about a month and a week or two. It's amazing. The sound and lighting effects are amazing.
