I had a really good start of the year for cross-stitch, and then massively slowed down around late July-August actually weirdly partly because the shows I was marathoning (SVU and X-Files respectively) both got pulled from streaming sites, and I just haven't been able to get my brain back 'online' to manage to do cross-stitch again?
It's been really weird. And the stupid thing is, I own all of the X-Files, but apparently that extra step/few steps of changing the DVDs etc. is enough for my brain to go 'no, too hard, do work instead.' Not very useful!
As always, all of these are kits, I don't use hoops (or do anything 'properly') and I mostly just do it to zone out for a bit.
Owl Forest's Frog Princess x-stitch kit - This was the first kit that introduced me to 'single square' stitching, which was *intense.* You can see it on the face and the hands of the princess.
( More beneath the cut. )
RTO's - Hare in the Night x-stitch kit - This has been one of my favourite projects in a while, the colours were so interesting.
( More beneath the cut. )
Merejka's Bullfinches x-stitch kit (incomplete)
Normally I don't back-stitch until the very end of a project, but for once I'm back-stitching as I go. This is about half-way complete. (Actually now it's much further along, but I don't have a photo of that).
( More beneath the cut. )
Decorative embroidery (ongoing) - I took on this project because the hems were falling apart, and I didn't want to re-hem the jacket. It's a Studio Ghibli jacket that can't be purchased anymore, and I think I've had it for around 8 years now. It needs some more work to actually make it like, less 'falling-apart-y.' I have a habit of literally wearing my clothing until it falls apart, and now I have I guess, some very not good skills at doing something about it.
Obviously this is all hand-sewn and awful. But I'd rather walk out of the house with awful embroidery rather than like, the 50 holes in my hems, lol.
