Just Create - Goblin Edition

How is it another week already?!

You know the drill: What did you get done? What do you want to show off? What do you need support on? Did you watch, read, or see anything cool?

I finished the test stitch for the yellow-orange shading for the last installment of the Art Nouveau seasons (cross stitch). I think I am going to have to go with a blend for the middle shade. But I will do as many surrounding colors as I can and then hold up the test ones to be sure.

Meanwhile I have filed the Art Nouveau seasons, the test stitch, and (hopefully) adequate notes. I want to see if I can finish some of my many works in progress. Unfortunately I have picked up the GIANT project of Fabulous Women in History, a stitch-a-long by CloudsFactory from (I believe) 2016. I am nearly two-thirds done. The fabric is a beautiful purple hand dyed linen. I am not very skilled at stitching on linen so it is taking a while (and there are a couple of screw ups). I got this as a kit and the thread it came with is AWFUL.

She also has a few additional historical women available to purchase (wow, did THAT come out sounding wrong!). And the kit came with a coupon for one free one... So OF COURSE my whole third row is out of whack due to massive edits. :D It's going to be great, but first it's going to be a massive pain in the ass.

I think I am going to alternate - 1-3 historical women, then a simpler more mindless project, then more women. Otherwise I will burn out and never finish it.

Support... I think I need support in letting things go. I have some cross stitch WIPs that I'm never going to finish. I have a ton of t-shirts that have sentimental value but I never wear then and they get in the way of finding something I will wear. I have gorgeous jeans that are intensely uncomfortable. I need to get these things out of my house so I can have some space for the things I do use, but it's HARD!
