I can't believe I forgot the last TUSAL! Anyway, here's the update, haha. There is more floss in there, I promise. I still smoosh it down at every opportunity. :D
Mostly more black as I've been focusing on the lettering in FFVII. I try to do a letter in a sitting and as it's been quite hot, I've had a bit more stitching time, hah.
Now for the latest installment of the blog hop! It seems I've become more or less hopeless about posting updates on FFVII so I'm glad for these prompts to keep me from disappearing off the face of the planet~
I don't think I'm very seasonal, but that might be the lack of patterns I personally find stitchable for seasons! Since I like quirky sorts of things, I usually have to design my own patterns if I want to stitch holiday-themed goodies (Halloween example here). Otherwise, it's whatever tickles my fancy at the moment. A new game came out? Gotta commemorate it. Something unreasonably dorky someone said? New idea for a pattern!
The exception seems to be Christmas; I'll stitch almost anything for that holiday, haha. There are usually tons of patterns I like involving Christmas / winter, and it doesn't seem to be limited to cross stitching either! I did a cute crewel kit last year (see here), and picked up another for this year. I mostly focus on ornaments and one very mini aspiration is to stitch one ornament for myself by December 25. So far they've been just little kits I've picked up in various thrift stores.
Oddly, my favorite to stitch for (Christmas) is not my favorite holiday (Fourth of July, yay!). I don't dislike Americana, but I haven't found any designs I'm willing to stitch myself! Perhaps someday I'll create a pattern for the best holiday ever!
