Exploring My 2024 Embroidery Journal Month by Month via The Stir-Crazy Crafter [Shared]

Everyday, I embroider an icon that represents my day. Whether that be a stack of pancakes because of what I had for breakfast, bunny ears because I planned an Easter Egg hunt at work, or even a frowny face because I had a rough day. At the end of the year, I accumulate 365 (or 366) icons on my 12 inch embroidery hoop. While 2024 started out quite slow, it steadily picked up as the pieces fell into place for my future.

This year was my fifth year creating an embroidery journal. At this point, I’ve embroidered over 1,800 icons across my journals. I’m so proud of the fact that I’ve managed to stick with something for such a long period of time. It’s been wonderful watching as my embroidery skills have increased and my life has progressed.

That is nothing short of amazing. Thank you for sharing. I spent lots of time looking around at it wondering how you composed it. I imagined you started in the middle but then it became obvious that you had something else in the way it was constructed. Yeah for you
