Finally going to embroider...maybe

I asked for this super specific Judit Gummlich book for Christmas and I'm finally in a state to open it.

Ironically, I strive for variety so I don't have any stkntt pieces to embroider on. Most of my things have lace or cables or a textural thing already. I guess it is swatch season again. Or maybe people will ask for mittens right as spring starts lol yeah right.

The book also has a recommendation for what type of thread to buy for embroidery. Oh joy another thing to buy. I may just split a poorly-plied worsted yarn that tends to split neatly for now. We'll see!

Very glad hubby said to try again later

Took a picture of my teeth and looked them for a really long time during my lunch break today to study the shape. Yes, that is my actual mouth.

Doing the cute little facial expression and maybe a toothbrush sword(?) can wait

Still trying to figure out the shaping but I'm done for one night. Debating gifting it like this but hubby said try again when I am rested. The center "well" is too deep. I might put a filling/cap on it

Stuffing is always the most exciting part

Folded up one pipe cleaner in each root

4 sewn tips

4 loose tips

Short rows on one tip

Had a panic attack freak out in the chair unrelated to the dental work being done, and I was so thankful for how my hygenist got me through it and that I wanted to make her something! 

I asked a different hygenist if she thought an anatomical model or a cute plushie would be better and she said part of hygenist school is drawing anatomically correct teeth so if someone gave her a model it would give her PTSD. Literally everyone said go with the cute one lol

Depressed

Hedwig for co-worker/final death of jo-ann piece

 Claire Garland/Dot pebbles pattern Snowy Owl

Coincidentally I used the last of the yarn I bought when Jo-Ann's went down. I talked to a store employee and the name was officially dissolved in Feb 2024, then they shut down poorly performing stores right away and kept the lights on at high performing stores in order to sell all their storage.  Once enough of their stock was sold, they shut down the hub performing stores, and moved on to sell the rest of it to someone else, like Michael's. I have not used 100% of the stuff I bought, but I have used everything I bought at least once except the zippers.

Eyes came in!

Waiting for safety eyes to be delivered. Looks kind of weird from in front without the eyes right now

Added a tufted white chest. It wasn't in the pattern but it just felt right bc I used different variegation than pattern did and it didn't seem snowy enough. Had to twist it the way the owls spine is twisted.

Added a panel to stabilize the legs which were flopping around everywhere like crazy.

Happy Anniversar-we Birds + Leaf

Finally celebrated our anniversary by going to Barnes and adding to our bird collection. We got three little borbs and a leaf to place them on, all ceramic, but the borbitude of the birbs is too great and they keep falling over and clinking so I made a nice leaf to go in between them. No pattern.

Happy New Year

 I wished happy 2025 but I meant 2026 lol
