Despite some initial challenges this is going pretty well now! This is about half of the moon behind some of the castle towers, and those empty blobs at the top will eventually be clouds lol

Cross stitch WIP of an alpaca

It's starting to take shape. You can already see something resembling legs. This week has been hectic and I haven't had the chance to stitch much. I've been working on my backyard birding setup and that also took some of my free time. We also rescued a pigeon. I'll probably stitch while keeping it company so progress might come faster.

That needle minder is hell on earth! Really fits the vampire theme.

Looking great so far! The hardest part of any project for me so far is just initially getting to the point where I can see it taking shape lol

I hope your pigeon is doing well!

I was really glad to find a needle minder I liked, it works so much better than the two old magnets from the junk drawer I was using before lol

Funny that you mention the two old magnets. My minder is a DIY from craft store magnets that are probably as good as your old ones. But that murderous cat brings me so much joy I had to make it. It works just barely but totally worth it.

The junk drawer magnets came from a broken knife sharpener, and they were way too strong. They were constantly leaving marks on the fabric and getting stuck to the scissors, and stuck to my bracelet lol

Your murderous cat one is adorable!
