September 18, 2025 | Finished a Few Things

I finished embroidering the cushion covers for my rollator finally. It took longer than I thought it would but there were some periods of time where I didn't do anything so I'm also not super surprised. I also did a portrait embroidery of one of my aunt's dogs for her birthday. Maybe I'm still too close to it but I'm just not thrilled with it. She liked it, which is good, and everyone else I've shown it to says it's good... but I just got so stressed trying to finish it on time and even though, objectively, I know it's not *bad* it's still so different from the version I had in my head that I'm just not fond of it. I'm debating if I'm gonna put it up on here... I probably will, I guess. Not soon, though.

I really need to get going on my Halloween projects. I know what I definitely want to get done this year and what I'd like to get done... part of the problem is that I want to film it for YouTube so I can get that going again, but *filming* anything, even just on my phone, takes so much more prep, both as far as actually having a filming area and also mentally cause there's more things to juggle. I keep telling myself to just pick one and get out the supplies but my brain won't cooperate. Maybe now that my aunt's birthday has past I can get it in gear.

August 31, 2025 | Testing and First Entry

Testing to see how this looks! I have a couple projects going on: I'm embroidering the cushion covers for my rollator cushions, I'm working on decorating a t-shirt, and drawing the Haunted Mansion wallpaper on a picture frame which will get painted at some point. But also I need to start a bunch of projects! My aunt's birthday is coming up and I want to embroider one of her dogs, and also I was hoping to get a couple of Halloween crafts filmed for Youtube. Unfortunately for me, all of the ones I haven't started yet are the ones that have real deadlines.
