Amateur Amalgam

Part 1

Once upon a time, I worked at Michael’s (arts and crafts store), and while I was there I passed by kits for making latch-work projects regularly. Very quickly I became obsessed with this new thing, because this is a type of project that I had never seen before. I promised myself that at some point I would get one to try (I got 2 actually, but I haven’t opened the second one yet).

This one I got first – and is the one that originally caught my eye – and I’ve worked on it (very) slowly. I am a lot further along on this one than I am with other incomplete projects, surprisingly, but it still took several years of on and off work to get here.

I want to finish the other cross stitch pieces that I have in the works before I continue with this one though, just because doing too much at once is the quickest way to get me to lose interest in everything and just stop making stuff altogether. I did want to log it on here anyway though, just so that I have it in the queue so I actually remember to do it (which I have found is the best way to get myself to do stuff).

I probably won’t be back with an update on this one till well into next year – but you never know, I kinda chose to work on stuff at random so I might put in some work here and there.
