So I’ve been designing a lot of embroidery. And actually embroidering a little, too. By “designing” I mean opening a photo in Pixelmator (the poor man’s photoshop) and drawing over it. Lazy, but effective. The picture above is a design that has not come to fruition but probably will next time I get frustrated with the Christmas knitting.

I think embroidery is a better outlet for strong emotion than knitting. At least for me. Most of my designs thus far have been a bit vulgar, so I won’t put them here because my mom reads this blog. You can see my two latest finished pieces (both donated to Joey) here and here, but be warned – they cuss. My mom also cusses. But for some reason I’m nervous about mom seeing me cuss. Hi, mom! And by “mom” I mean my mom and big sisters. They’re kind of a conglomerate.

Anyway, lately I’ve really been enjoying designing pictures of people I dislike and then writing how I feel about them above the pictures. I won’t put those pictures here, because although people have been hassling me about being passive aggressive on the blog, I think they’d prefer the passiveness to flat-out aggressiveness. If I’m mistaken, let me know. Because that could be fun.

Anyway, next I’m going to embroider this, from Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax, based on this photo and this counted-cross sttich I did ages ago.
