Still around. Still stitching. The back stitching on this will kill me. Ended up using 2 threads of black as it just wasn't showing up with one and I couldn't settle on an alternate color that made sense/also displayed. You can see one of the colors I tried where I did the stitching for her arms. Or can you? (dun dun dun) Also dark green on black is not fun. BUT! Progress. And I do think it looks good.

I don’t know anything about cross-stitching other than I did a project of it in second grade and it took forever and was really hard.

This is some next level stuff and I’m super impressed and that Cthulhu pin is great! Keep it up!

Thanks so much. I did a project way back then too! I got back into it last year and have been having a lot of fun with it.

It looks great! I can see what you mean about the backstitching but what I can see looks like you did it pretty well! I just started a different Miyazaki piece myself lol

Aren't we all, my friend. Aren't we all.

It looks SO good, though! I know stitching on black has had its ups and downs but the way it makes that umbrella pop...oh yes.

Thank you! And yes. We definitely are. I'm going to love it when it's done. And I'll mooooostly enjoy the process of getting there. And yeah I'm still convinced black cloth was the way to go.

I know nothing about embroidery but that tiny Cthulhu is cute as hell:-D.
