I'm timing how long a cross stitch piece takes me for the first time and it's been twenty five hours over the last few days and I'm not done yet?? I don't think I'm a particularly slow stitcher!! It's a full coverage piece but only like 3 by 5 inches. Cross stitch isn't hard but it does take FOREVER

You know I do this for the love of the game because I don't even like hunting

A working embroidery hoop with a work in progress stretched on it. The part that's visible depicts a complex cross stitch of a sepia toned man and dog facing away from the viewer, apparently in the middle of a duck hunt. There are other elements surrounding them, such as a duck call, a feather, and the word "hunting" in big letters above them.

Okay but Godzilla by blue oyster cult is so so good. The little oooOOOooo after "go go Godzilla!!!" Slips through my brain like one of those sinus cleansing fountains

Irresponsible breeders focusing on bigger horns and osteoderms not caring that brachycephalic carnotaurs struggle to breathe and eat :// plus the longer arms result in an unnatural posture! Adopt don't shop

Got a really good review on my first sale 🥹🥹🥹🥹 was so nervous but they said they loved it! Bye bye, rhamphorhynchus, I'm glad you've gone to a good home

A pterosaur embroidered on tan fabric. The wings are 3 dimensional, with red, white, and black patterning. The tail is also 3 dimensional, with a black, red, and white diamond pennant at the end.

Made some Halloween inspired earringssss kind of experimental, playing around with techniques and designs. Had a lot of fun tho making the little spiders! (Also on my shop if you fancy www.mercari.com/u/sagemaries... )

Embroidered earrings depicting grinning Halloween cats on maroon fabric. They're displayed on a cardboard square with stamped leaves tied with a needle and thread, in front of a little cottage with a gnome woman

Beaded spider earrings on stitched spider webs, on my hand to show they're about an inch big

The way that Lex has Ultraman toddling along after him, turning on light switches at his command and carrying donuts....he is 100% getting off on having a superman twin totally under his control and subject to his whims

I ended up getting Silksong and I can't stop thinking about it. I want to go home and play Silksong

Me, pure of heart and dumb of ass: why do they have a random singular diced tomato piece on their rice?

So I have no reason to use this. And perhaps I am jumping the gun a little. But I got very excited and made up a little logo and carved it into a 50¢ eraser as a stamp. I've only tried my hand at block carving once before so I'm pretty pleased with it 🩷🌿

A big pink eraser with most of it carved away except for what is supposed to be a depiction of a bundle of sage leaves, tied with a string that loops around and ends with a threaded needle. The outline is black with ink. Next to it is a piece of paper stamped with the leaf bundle multiple times, with the closest one being labeled Sage Marie Stitched

A couple recent finishes! The idea for a tamagotchi hoop was from @ribbonthing.bsky.social bc she's a genius and then the anglerfish came to me in a dream. Making weensy earrings or keychains has been incredibly satisfying (also these are up on my mercari shop now js www.mercari.com/u/sagemaries...)

A pair of earrings hanging on a straw hat with flowers and a ribbon. The earrings are an embroidery hoop with matching tamagotchis stitched onto Aida and framed with red patterned cotton.

The tamagotchi earrings, but in my hand to show how big they are

A keychain embroidery hoop with an anglerfish stitched on black cotton. It's surrounded by seed stitches to look like marine snow and black beads stitched in the bottom to look like the sea floor or black aquarium gravel.

A close up of the anglerfish to show some of the stitch work and that the lamp on the lure is a lovely light green bead.

I'm really sorry this has been dragged on. It doesn't take any effort to be like "I'll be better next time." You're fully in the right to be upset, since she keeps going back and forth to somehow make you the one that needs to apologize? I hope she comes to her senses cuz she's out of line

Anyway this is Rouxben and I at the tippy top of the bleachers on Saturday for the rodeo! This year they gave family members little lanyards which made everything way easier and made it so I didn't have to name-drop all over

Rouxben and I sitting at the top of red metal and wood bleachers, with a tree pressed into the bleachers behind us

Big bummed because something in my PlayStation software corrupted and required reinstallation, so everything is just wiped :// I wasn't in the middle of any one game but I had a lot of progress in most of them. Big bummed!!!!
