Embroidery has been keeping me sane! My brother ordered a 200-color set for me off Lazada, which came with an extra hoop, some needles, a threader, and a janky little pair of scissors. It's my first time using a plastic hoop, and it's about 6 inches. With the larger range of colours, I could finally make the butterfly pea design I'd been planning on. My brother also had an extra clip-on desk lamp he got as a novelty from Japan, and it's light enough to clip onto the edge of a hoop, so that's nice too. I'm very happy with how the butterfly pea flowers turned out, especially the side-view. Next time for the frontal view, the flower base should be shorter, and I won't put in the veins since they don't show up well. The profile view, I need to get better at needlepainting so the flower base looks more natural.

I'm gonna try some serious needlepainting with the next project, and this time try for double-sided embroidery too! And with single-thread counts instead of using the whole 6 threads in the floss...
