This blackwork heart is complete! Worked on this periodically from March 19 - May 17 with a break in the middle because I was missing four colors. Two months to completion! . . . . #crossstitch #xstitch #crosstitchersofinstagram #crossstitchismytherapy #blackwork #multicolor #embroidery #peppermintpurple #potholder #handmade #kitchendecoration #wip https://www.instagram.com/p/CATaxwcHa_5/?igshid=drb53tkqqkhy
Officially putting this piece on hold until I can get my last 4 colors! That rose pattern was intimidating until I started on it and now I'm sad I can't keep going with it. . . . #crossstitch #xstitch #crosstitchersofinstagram #crossstitchismytherapy #blackwork #multicolor #embroidery #peppermintpurple #potholder #handmade #kitchendecoration #eraseablemarkers #wip #covid19artistsathome #socialdistancing https://www.instagram.com/p/B-V64_xnlkt/?igshid=10ham564gzh8c
Three squares done! I don't have DMC 154, 3834, 3835, or 3836. So this might be put on hold indefinitely after I do two more squares. . . . #crossstitch #xstitch #crosstitchersofinstagram #crossstitchismytherapy #blackwork #multicolor #embroidery #peppermintpurple #potholder #handmade #ifeelold #kitchendecoration #eraseablemarkers #wip https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Pt78rn4gs/?igshid=1i1kajw94g4f8
My sleep schedule has been a bit wonky for the past week. COVID-19 has cancelled both my jobs, a tabling event, a funeral, and my birthday party just this month alone. . So I dug out some of the cross stitch stash my aunt sent me and settled on two potholders. After two days and many hours of backstitching, I'm ready to pick my colors and fill in this @peppermint.purple blackwork heart. I'm thinking I'll work one in the original purple chart and do the second in complementary shades of blue. . . . #crossstitch #xstitch #crosstitchersofinstagram #crossstitchismytherapy #blackwork #multicolor #embroidery #peppermintpurple #potholder #handmade #ifeelold #kitchendecoration #eraseablemarkers https://www.instagram.com/p/B9_T3PHnfN3/?igshid=1m0dnkd24jgh2
