Of Finished Embroideries

I was pretty stoked when I snipped the last piece of thread on the Illuminati Pet Lizard Man. Partly because it was done so quickly, but mostly because I couldn’t wait to give it away.

I’d originally planned on making it a sort of surprise thing, because I was so damn giddy about the whole idea in the first place. I mean, it’s not every day I am given mystery drawings, you know?¹

“I AM GOING TO EMBROIDER THE SHIT OUT THIS!!!!” I told myself. So I did, but I couldn’t resist sharing this information, because hello, I’m as transparent as they come.² As soon as the words left my typing fingers and travelled their way across Internet particles to their intended target recipient, my brain went: “Way to go genius, Queen of Surprise is you!” Then it made me promise to not mention the project until it was ready. So, obviously, the next day I ran my mouth about it, and showed progress photos. 

Sigh.

Here’s the back of the IPLM:

And here are a couple of other awful things in progress:

1. Officially putting the word out. Just saying. [↩]
2. Although, I’m super good at keeping secrets, if I do say so myself. The fact that very few of my friends know each other is irrelevant. [↩]
