Doesn't listening require more effort than hearing, though?
Great, another tnl syntax debate.
I could have put 'happy mother's day' instead of what the pattern came with, but my mom is not a good listener so I left what it said. trollface.jpeg
Fair enough.
Here's the picture I made for my friend on facebook after he wanted to buy these when I posted the original. This is done in all metallic threads and they are the bane of my existence.

It's also done on fabric that has metallic fibers throughout it.
This I just made for myself.

I broke 5 needles making this picture and put a huge hole in my finger from pushing the needle through so much. It's the hardest one I've ever done. lol
Wow, looks great!
Yeah, that second one is really detailed. Pretty cool.
It's all beads!

I'm not happy with how the variegated purple came out with this picture. My mom still liked it anyways.

I made this for my papa's birthday because he really loves my pictures(and fishing)
Nobody ever leaves...
That skeleton one is legit btw.
Kyosalad lives!
Haha, facebook loved the skeletons too..I'm just a smidge disappointed they have no hands XD That pattern would also be awesome in some glow-in-the-dark threads, but alas I do not have any.
I like to think she was trapped under a mountain of fabric and thread and cross-stitched her way out. She's the Aron Ralston of embroidery.Quote:

I made this for my cousin's birthday by combining 2 different patterns which is harder than you'd think. I was concerned the spacing would look weird since you can't really tell how that looks until you've already sewn it, but it's perfect. =D I also painted the frame myself.
And some other crap I've made

Do you take commissions? How much for a Hail Satan?
Lol I could and usually not more than the cost of the supplies. Just keep in mind it can take weeks, sometimes months, depending on what you're stitching. (and sometimes how interested I am in stitching it) =B
This needs to be in the bathroom.

I'm rather fond of this one myself. =p
I like the glasses case (or maybe change wallet) the best. Third pic down. You've been busy! Lots of stuff.
Yes it is a glasses case, I made it for my mom's birthday which isn't until June 1st, so I'm super ahead on gifts this year for once. =D I actually got a lot of positive feedback and requests for stitched glasses cases after I showed that one off.
Omggggg I was at walmart picking out a bunch of colours for this picture I want to make for my grandparents for christmas and this lady sees me over there and asks if I embroider. I said no, I cross stitch, then showed her the picture I wanted to do (had to take it in the for the colour list) and she was like I have a TON of embroidery thread that you can take if you call me when my husband isn't home because he can't understand why I would just give it away. But my eyesight is too bad to keep doing it and people keep giving me all the these threads and I can't do anything with them and I want to make sure they go to someone that will actually use them instead of giving them to goodwill where they get thrown in the back and no one knows what they're for. Then she gave me a card to call her and I definitely will.
=D =D =D =D =D
Tossalad, did you ever do the Breaking Bad stitch?
No, dave never ordered the stuff. And I'm about to begin a decent sized hummingbird picture for my grandparents for xmas, a word cloud picture like that snowman I made for my mom cept it's going to be a religious themed one (it's a candle next to a flower or a dove or something) and I'm making a set of tiny ariel necklaces for my sister. I've finished half of one necklace and it's going to be pretty cool, I'll put some tiny foamcore board behind it, then put some pretty blue fabric as the back and stitch them together to hide the seams inside, and maybe add some beads to the cord part. I think she'll really love them since she's allergic to most metals anyways.
Definitely the weirdest of all the punk subgenres.Quote:

Birth record I made for my sister's baby. I actually finished it not that long after he was born, but my sister didn't like part of the pattern, it originally had one small branch above the baby giraffe and cut off there, so I had to make the entire tree for her and all of the grass because it looked weird not filled in once I had made the tree part. So here it is ~4 months later. =p

Also probably a month or more of that was me being super lazy about framing it. I have learned that I really fucking hate framing shit, if you said you'd pay me to frame something, it would still take me 2 months to do it.
I love cross stitch but unfortunately, not as many people seem to do it these days as in the 80s or 90s. My dad has a frameshop and most of his customers were bringing in pieces of cross stitch works.
