A Pumpkin Preview - Oct 28, 2023

We had these spiderweb candy bowls at the library, so I thought they'd make an interesting display for my pumpkins. This is only about half of the stock, but it's a good preview of what my craft fair display might look like. The black and orange ones have spiders, but the cream/gray one is bones and skulls.

These are the pumpkins we stuffed last week, including the one I forgot at home (still not stuffed yet). The green one is from August's harvest, as I wanted LL-K to see how that yarn knit up as a whole pumpkin. (She complimented how I used it on the stems and was curious about it as a whole thing. I'm like, "Well boy howdy, do I have some good news for you.")

Anyone remember the 2nd Oberon biscornu I started last fall? Just got around to seaming the panels together today. The corners and centers weren't meeting properly (off my a couple stitches), so I'm wondering if my panels aren't square. Even if they were stretched on the frame, the square count should still be right. So this bugger will get sewn like a normal square, alas.

My thread also broke, so I saw it as a sign to stop for the day. Trying to craft while confused and frustrated is not fun and can make things worse. Even if I don't include it in next week's craft fair offerings, I'd like to at least get it finished by the end of the year.

An Elpis themed biscornu I made for my friend Gogomi! Most of the outside edge pattern came from here, but I added the axolotl and Ancient from patterns I designed myself (I'll post seperately), the apple tree's freehanded, and the starbirds came from a fragment of an unrelated pattern. Really impressed with how this one came out,

So my New Year's Revolution this year is to finish at least a big chunk of my current WIP and limit starting any new ones. My mom is aware and has been very enthusiastic about making me keep to it.

I would also like to actually document some of this so...

Here is a newly finished project

This is my first biscornu.

https://feltmagnet.com/textiles-sewing/How-To-Make-A-Biscornu

I got the pattern from this website. I didn't want to fight with designing my own pattern on top of learning the technique, so I just used the one shown in the tutorial. Though I inversed the colors, stitching white on navy instead of navy on white.

It took a lot longer than I expected (normal for cross stitch), and because it exists in two distinct pieces, second sock syndrome is a problem.

Stitching them was pretty straightforward, though my decision to use 3 strands of floss instead of 2 became annoying quickly.

The new technique of stitching them together was interesting. In the future, I would want to use a longer length to make sure the back stitch is all done in a single length. At one point, while whip-stitching, the backstitch came undone, and I had to stop and redo and make sure the ends were secure in order to keep going.

The whip stitch is pretty cool here. You can see how it creates almost a third row of stitches. I did it with 2 strands. I wonder how it would have looked with 3. (Gods I hate working with odds numbers though)

Stuffing it was pretty straightforward too, but sewing the button on and pulling it tight was an exercise in wishing I had 3 hands. Or a longer needle.

I probably wouldn't mind doing another of these some day, but... maybe a smaller one.

A Halloween-y biscornu that I stitched up as part of @linkismyhomeboy Halloween swap. Love participating in swaps as not only do you get to meet new people but you also get to stitch designs you wouldn't normally do 😊 Pattern by @cloudsfactory #BritishStitchers #Crafts #CrossStitch #Embroidery #MyCrafts #MyCrossStitch #XStitch #PuntoDeCruz #CrossStitchersOfInstagram #CloudsFactory #Halloween #Pumpkins #Bats #Witches #Biscornu https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVOoIJtFxa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Little bit new to this blogging thing, so uhhh… here’s something I made, thanks.

It’s called a biscornu and is embroidered with Scottish thistles. Usually these were pincushions a few centuries ago, but I decided to make it mini and a pendant for a friend.

While bouncing between larger projects, I needed a small victory. And got one item off of my Christmas gifting list knocked out.

It’s finally completed.

Biscornu I made for my Mom for Mother's Day. It has a little round bag I sewed inside filled with lavender buds. That made the center bulky enough that I didn't do the center pin with a button.

Gathering up craft stuff to take with me to the library is like... “Ah! I forgot about this! Forgot about this, too. Oh that’s where that went.” I’m getting distracted, so I ended up throwing in a bunch of stuff. I know I ought to take out more, like most of the yarn I’ve been using. After I finish this snowflake ornament pumpkin, it’s embroidery time.

Bonus: While chatting with someone from the library via email, I sent her photos of my past work. I love looking at my old biscornu pin cushions, especially. Like, how is this not wonderful? Piles of little pin cushions!

That shit makes me so happy.
