Time to MAKE SOME ART!

Ever since I was little, I have always adored arts and crafts!

Recently, I had a ton of energy going into making stuff for my Beatles birthday party and now that that’s over, I felt like “What am I gonna do now?”

THAT WAS UNTIL I discovered (rediscovered) the craft of cross stitching!

Cross stitching is really really cool in my opinion!

And although I have little knowledge about it so far and the methods and tips, I’ve dived deep into Amazon and bought yarn and plastic canvases to work on!

Unfortunately, all the projects I want to make are really really complex…

What I mean by that is, I want to make HUGE pieces of art and that can take a long time plus be expensive.

For example, I’d love to make this Beatles picture into a project:

So, I used this really cool website to find out how many stitches and supplies I would need to make it.

The website is:

Pixel-Stitch – Convert photos and images into cross stitch embroidery patterns

And it turned the image from what it was to this:

NOW as you can see, that’s a ton of work…

But I’m too invested now into this project idea so I’m going to instead use friendship bracelet beads to make my project and maybe… maybe even be able to sell my art? I don’t know yet.

But what I do know is that I can’t wait for the beads to get here!!!!

I recognize I may be a little manic-y right now and a little too excited about this but hey, I’ll take it!

This week I’ve been pretty stable besides one night in which I felt really down.

I couldn’t pinpoint why I was so sad? But thankfully it only lasted that night and went away in the morning.

So, I’ll definitely take being hyper and possibly hypomanic over being depressed!

Wish me luck (lol)!!!!
