And it was not the best experience. I really like the result though, very cute, my partner likes it a lot. But I will probably stick to non-counted stitching methods, they suit me better.

Did Stardew Valley inspire you? XD

Well done !

That's great.

Shameless copy, not just an inspiration ๐Ÿ˜„ ! thank you !

[โ€“] TGhost@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

Hell no, there is no shame :D,

Emily would be proud of you !

I love all of this, am envious, and want it in my life.

[โ€“] just_chill@jlai.lu 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's not that difficult actually, you should give it a try !

I'll add it to the adhd list โค๏ธ

[โ€“] just_chill@jlai.lu 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, I see ! :D
I hope you can hyperfocus on it then, it's probably not the adhd friendliest hobby, but who knows. (That being said, I love to listen to podcast at the same time, maybe that's an idea)

ร–oooo. Nice idea. I may need to try to make time. First I've gotta get a sec+ and a new job, but maybe that can be next.

Omg. I never thought about cross stitch on a garment! I am totally doing this for gifts next year!

Yours turned out amazing!

[โ€“] just_chill@jlai.lu 3 points 2 days ago

Yes ! Do it, it makes a great gift !

It looks fantastic! Maybe you would enjoy it more if you start with something bigger on aida cloth? This looks kind of small and fiddly for a first attempt at cross stitch lol you did a great job though!

The size wasn't too bad actually, it's just the counting that doesn't do it for me. It's not much fun and I made so many mistakes miscounting stuff. I'm not too sad about it though, there are enough types of embroidery, I will just do something else.
