How many projects do you work on at the same time? (lemm.ee)

I used to be a "one project at a time" kind of stitcher but lately I get sidetracked by other projects that I give out as presents so it's always at least two at a time. Now it gets kind of difficult when I have a deadline for one but I also have to do it in secret... While living with that person and spending a good chunk of my free time hanging out with them! So for the past two weeks I ended up making...about 100 stitches in total 😅

I have like 5 projects currently but a couple of them are small and others are kits I picked up on vacation when I didn’t have my main project with me. I like to be 1-project-kind-of-person but sometimes I need a break and just do something simple.

My ‘main’ WIP is The Shire and it’s a bit advanced and hard to do while watching TV 😂

Oh wow that looks amazing. I'd buy it if I didn't have about 4 patterns that I've yet to start 😅

~~Edit: Just looked at Viktoriya's Etsy store and realized I've followed here and even have a finished piece from her!~~

Looks like your link doesn’t work :(

I think her Etsy was closed, but Boosty and instagram works to buy her patterns. I have all the ‘snow globe’ ones and are slowly working my way through them.

OK it turns out I have no idea how Etsy works. I just googled her name in Latin letters, followed by Etsy, a bunch of patterns appeared, some of which in her style, and one of them was something I've bought. Sadly, it wasn't her work. I saw she's from Russia so maybe that's why her Etsy is closed.

Yeah lots of Etsy shops just copy and steal patterns :( this is her IG https://instagram.com/viktoriyaivchenko
