my geek is showing…
it’s not only my embroidery geekiness that’s showing (two new designs in two days! what is this madness?), but my internet geekiness too:
for those who don’t know what i’m on about, the urban dictionary defines “teal deer” as “a bastardization of ‘tl;dr’, which is a bastardization of ‘too long; didn’t read’…”.
this could be a cheeky gift to a particularly loquacious friend (if you think it can be given and received in fun, and not taken personally!), or just a fun and nerdy decoration for your home. mine is hanging among my fabric hoops in our living room.
the chart is below for your stitching pleasure. i used DMC 991 for mine, because i think it’s a lovely rich, vibrant teal.
may your geekiness be with you - enjoy!

Oh very cute - you are soooo clever!
Well after your ‘You’re sweet’ post I kept thinking about cross stitch and all the omens of late telling me to get back into it and I thought of some little projects to get me ‘re-started’, went out and stocked up on some more thread and aida and also happened to buy a hoop for one of my projects to hang next to framed fabric! Like yours! Freaky
I might start now while you have me all inspired and excited!
