  • How often do you share things you journal with others?

    Jump

  • I share little things I print out that amuse me but nothing of the actual text. Keeping that private is a mix of being self conscious and wanting to keep the depths of my weirdness to myself; I feel like I’d have to give context for things and I don’t have the energy for that.

  • [Weekly thread] #3 How is your journaling going?

    Jump

  • I use a different app for the layout, but I count messing about with it as a separate hobby. I find it relaxing by itself so it’s become an important part of the process.

  • [Weekly thread] #3 How is your journaling going?

    Jump

  • I probably get a little too invested in how my journal looks but for me that's part of the process. I create digital art journal pages so I can rearrange and resize things until I like the way they look.

  • Two different journals in one?

    Jump

  • I keep everything in chronological order and usually just put the review on a different coloured background. I like the idea that my opinion of a book is coloured by whatever else is going on in my life so keeping it in order makes sense and it means I can explain to myself why a re-read might hit different later.

    I have a digital scrapbook for a journal though so things are easy to insert and re-sort compared to a paper notebook.

  • PSA: Artecy freebies for September are up.

    Jump

  • Excellent, it'll pair nicely with the ridiculous number of HAED patterns I'm hoarding.

  • Thanks for this! I'm a full coverage nut but didn't know about their freebies, guess I'll be adding it to my calendar as well 🙂

    Trying out the cover page fad

  • Newbie moment: why does this keep happening?

    Jump

  • I bust them every time I forget to thread one strand at a time - two just destroys them. Pinching at the narrow end helps but I ended up buying a pack of 100 and not worrying too much.

  • Pour one out for possibly my oldest cross stitch needle.

    Jump

  • Don't apologise, I'm That Person in a whole host of subjects, lol. As good as that recipe looks (the photos are fantastic), I'd probably try it with chicken breast instead, only I don't know what agave syrup is or if I could find it in a kiwi supermarket.

  • I love this idea! And someone finally found a proper use for tofu 😉

  • These little Star Wars figures have been so much fun!

    Jump

  • These are so cute!

  • Chaos in the aisles: has cinema etiquette reached an all-time low?

    Jump

  • I think I've been to the movies once since covid and I have no plans to go back. The tickets are too expensive to be ruined by people being on their phones or talking to each other about what happens next. If there was the option to take your own headphones in to drown out the dickheads I'd probably go back.

  • My proudest cross stitch so far, a big hommage to Sailor Moon and the anime's incredible and timeless art direction

    Jump

  • Beautiful work!

  • After 8 years lusting over this pattern, Garden Cat is finally complete!

    Jump

  • That looks like it would have been a fun stitch, congrats on the finish!

  • Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past world map in progress

    Jump

  • That looks great on black!

  • The thing about cross stitch is: it's only one stitch at a time. If you can do a little pattern you can definitely do a big one!

  • This is what 24 hours of cross stitch looks like

    Jump

  • Congratulations that's a huge amount of progress!

  • Noob question: is the needle supposed to turn black like this?

    Jump

  • I've seen people suggest that it's to do with your own body chemistry but I dont know if there's any science to back it up. At any rate, they recommended gold plated needles to help prevent the problem.

  • Progress pics from last weekend

    Jump

  • That sounds intriguing, I look forward to the photos 😉

  • 24HOCS starting point!

    Jump

  • Good luck with your challenge! I'd love to see a progress pic next time you have it off the snaps, it looks beautiful.

    Also, 28ct? Do you use a magnifier or anything?
