Since more than a year, a lot of space in my work bag has been taken by a skirt in aida cloth where I've started to embroider a line of #crossStitch swirls around the hem (it should be about 20 swirls).
The problem is, I can't do cross stitch and other counted thread embroidery while I'm doing something else, not even on easy fabric such as this, so I never pick it up to work on it, and it never gets done.
Today I've forced myself to do so and managed to do about 3 swirls. Will I be able to keep working on it at least a bit every day, and finish the skirt by the end of this month?
Also, I really hope that the haberdasher will have more floss in the same colour when I'll go there later this week, because I definitely do not have enough to finish this.

(and then closed the private mode browser window, so that it is now forever lost)
(but I remember what I had selected, more or less)

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •the second haberdasher I tried had DMC floss in the right colour (except it's one of the colours that have changed, ouch, but this means that I just can't find exactly the same colour anywhere).
the first haberdasher was out of this colour, but had a pair of proper braces to be used with buttons and everything. which is something I wanted to make myself for a long time, but was missing part of the materials, so I ended up buying them.
(12 eur of unplanned shopping is still better than almost 50, right?)

Unknown parent • •@Delib For some reason my brain has a really hard time concentrating on audiobooks, but it can listen to people talking on video while only glancing at the video now and then, so that's what I usually do while handsewing or knitting.
If I have to count things, however, it all breaks down and I can't listen to anything (but then I get bored after a while, because I miss having something else going on at the same time. Brains are weird.)
