    Tomorrow morning, I have a psychiatrist appointment for ADHD. Maybe after I get meds, I won’t have “big feelings” anymore. But that might just be the suspected 'tism. Who knows at this point?

    And who cares?

    Cheers 🍻

    Finished the two hardcore antibiotics and the tooth still hurts, but I’m told that they don’t want to give me more and even the closer appt found is 2 weeks away. Great. I just hope it isn’t an infection and/or doesn’t spread.

    Could someone do me a favour and slam the door please? 🦷🪢🚪

    This is my favourite embroidery piece (with hand crocheted edging) that my mother did.

    She’s always been more interested in doing the crochet than the embroidery, so there are lots of doilies and things in the cupboard.

        Embroidery is a nice hobby - it is very meditative. This sort of embroidery takes a fair bit of practice to get right because you have to judge the position of the needle and size of stitches evenly, but things like cross stitch are usually done on fabric with evenly spaced holes to guide you. It is not too complicated but gives you something to do with your hands, and it gives you just enough to do with your conscious brain that you don’t get bored without taking up all your attention, so most of your brain has space to process things and do some quality sub-conscious thinking.

      That’s really really nice, so many different embroidery stitches, many of them traditional dating back to the Elizabethan Era.

      Just want to add that this is a very good piece and worth framing. It’s a good example of women’s art and culture. Your mum had a good sense of history and culture. 🙂

      ( I’m that nerd who goes to the V&A and buys the books on historic embroidery )

        It would be the different stitches that attracted her to the design - she’s always hated doing lots of satin stitch and preferred using different fill stitches.

          those fill stitches are what drew my eye , and the circles that frame each design like a late medieval miniature
