It’s rugelach not croissant

Although it looks like it’s in the “Hanukkah decor” section, which raises more questions than it answers

I honestly have no idea who the target market is
December 2, 2025 at 3:08 AM
I really want to know what deli sells a giant loaf of Shabbat challah
December 2, 2025 at 3:03 AM
Gonna start identifying as ethnically Deli
December 2, 2025 at 2:58 AM
Well that’s done!

I think I want to make the background ornate; maybe I’ll do some vines and leaves with the green beads I have. But that’s a question for future me!

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Two and a half years since my dad died and I miss him every day. Grief is definitely a journey.

If they name or tag someone specific, however, that could be bullying.
December 1, 2025 at 11:01 PM
I would not call that bullying, it doesn’t feel directed enough

Ahhhh yeah not sure but this stuff I have is intended for hand embroidery and it still sucks, it’s constantly splitting and peeling. And it’s from a quality brand!

It’s a pittance and it’s going to take forever to receive, best of both worlds

Also I def don’t know anything about metallic for machines
December 1, 2025 at 8:08 PM
I mean I just grabbed the DMC stuff that Blick had and it sucks to work with but that seems to be universal. I just accept that it’s going to split and be a complete pain to work with.
December 1, 2025 at 8:08 PM
About half done. Once it’s all done I gotta figure out if I want to make the background more elaborate. We’ll see!
December 1, 2025 at 7:51 PM
It’s going okay
December 1, 2025 at 6:36 PM
Anyway I am doing this relatively simple design in the most insanely complicated way possible, currently alternating a row of silver with a row of gold and stitching the letters in white as I go along.

Also if you want a sense of what I am trying to stitch here are some classic havdalah spice boxes. There are ones that are more modern/less gaudy looking, but where is the fun in that

It’s all logged by the watch although sometimes it undercounts

Truly humbling to try to get good at swimming in your forties, why do I do this shit to myself lol
