Haven't gotten much work on Vulpix done this week - hoping to fix that a bit after I post this. Seems like a good thing to do while I binge-watch Orange Is the New Black and since my hands will be occupied I won't be able to reach into the screen to strangle Piper. But I did work on a pattern for possibly my next bigger project.

Yes, it scans. (Go ahead and try if you can.*) Hopefully it still will once I bead it.
The pattern's still missing something, not sure what. Obviously I'm going for a look similar to an embroidered/cross-stitched sampler. (Hell if anyone out there wants to cross-stitch this, let me know and I'll remove the skewing I had to do to accommodate a not-quite-square bead.) I think I may just be missing a bit of texture in the QR code bits just to make it more interesting, but I'm not quite sure how to fix it. Maybe an inner drop shadow? IDK. :P
At any rate, this project is a ways off. But it will be nice not to work in five shades of puke green for a change, and also nice to have something approximating an original design to hawk, as opposed to these admittedly massively cool nerdy projects featuring copyrighted** characters.
* It says "Home Sweet Home," for those of you who can't scan QR codes. Was not kidding about the whole stereotypical sampler thing.
** ...copywritten? That's wrong, right? I keep wanting to say that instead.
