July furtle

Apologies to anyone offended by a wee sweary word, but I do love a wee sweary word as sometimes they perfectly sum things up! July has been full of covid and it's aftermath,  the aftermath is brutal, zero energy for anything so patchwork is on hold for a while.

Embroidery and cross stitch are my salvation thankfully I'm able to do little bits when I can

Below is my emotions tracker for 2024, green is happy or calm, purple is meh, blue is tired or sad for the darker blue, orange is worried or nervous and red is angry excited is yellow. There is a lot of purple and light blue in July but that's only natural there is also quite a lot of green, it's all about seeing the bigger picture 

And here is one of the sweary ones!! I love these patterns from get stitch done, perfectly sum up feelings about life at the moment 🤣 

And here is the finished article! I like the precision of using sovly but it is harder pulling needle through that extra layer. I'll only use it for darker fabrics going on I think

I had such a good time with it I did another! They are really great quick patterns to do, love them

Oh this was my first finish this month and I love it, these trees were a freebie from Victoria Sampler in 2023, I am going to pair them with my Temperature embroideries from 2023 and put i to a book of all my 2023 embroidery projects

So a very different July but I'm adaptable! I think it will be embroidery/cross stitch for a while but that's not a bad thing

As ever huge thanks to Archie the Wonderdog for hosting the furtle
