Did you figure out yesterday's WIP? Believe it or Did you figure out yesterday's WIP?  Believe it or not, this isn't my first time making WoW florals! I made a ton years back that I turned into necklaces.
They're from a combination of the in-game rendering of these herbs and the icon you see in your inventory, as those are often easier for people to recognize.

I'm especially proud of my Mageroyal and Grave Moss specimens though.👀
Did you level up your herbalism back in your WoW days? Or did you take up a different profession?  Ngl, I had so many alts that I definitely maxed every profession and class combo you can think of pre- WotLK. 

I don't play these days, but maybe you still do! :) Or maybe you've just got some nostalgia for Azeroth like I do.  Either way, there'll be some new florals for you to cross stitch on my Patreon this Saturday. ;)
More of a preview than I usually share on WIP wedn More of a preview than I usually share on WIP wednesday, but I couldn't help it. I was having too much fun with this one and forgot to take a WIP photo til now!

Dreamfoil, Artha's Tears, Bloodvine... any of ya'll recognize these herbs? 😉

I've gone on a couple of Floss Adventures now, lea I've gone on a couple of Floss Adventures now, learning some new skills and making some fun pieces in the process. This year Patrons voted for me to try out Sashiko, which I've been wanting to do for some time now anyway. But I've been trying to figure out what to make out of the sample when I'm done so I know what size to make it.

Coasters? A placemat? Another bag of some sort? A biscornu? Any suggestions for a first project? 👀

Not sure what I'm talking about? Check out FlossAdventure.com! An embroidery floss challenge starting in June! Now's a great time to start planning your project. :)
