I recently purchased another HAED materials pack and thought y’all might want to join me as I unpackaged all the goodies (there are a LOT, so buckle up).
This is my second kit and I’m too intimidated to start it, so I guess we’ll see what happens. The first kit I bought might be the love of my life, as it’s based on artwork by Jonathon Earl Bowser that I was obsessed with as a young teenager (I even drew a replica in my Saturday art class), so I might “practice” cross country stitching and parking with my new kit and see where that road takes me - then maybe, in ten years, I can make my first one perfectly.
Have you tried a HAED? How did you get over your imposter syndrome and actually start?

If you know me at all, then you’ll know I’m obsessed with the adorable designs that The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery pumps out. I buy their patterns and kits like I don’t need the expendable income. Most recently, I signed up for their “Under the Sea” SAL that I’m miraculously keeping up with, having completed Clue 2 during my week of FUNemployment between jobs.
They also have a super cute seasonal collection featuring cats, so when they announced they were going to release a similar collection with dogs, I couldn’t pass up the chance to flush more money down the proverbial toilet.
The first pattern in their new series is called “Happy Spring” and includes a rain hat-bedecked pup who’s trying to avoid April showers. It’s so colorful and happy that there’s no way you can make this and not feel happy. In fact, I started it the night before Easter so I’d have something springy to work on while visiting family for the day.
The original design is stitched on white fabric, but I really like this blue hand-dyed linen I bought from Dove Stitch that I’m hoping to use for each pattern in the series, which will continue to be released throughout the year.
I had to make a few color substitutions since I don’t have a full DMC collection, although I’m working diligently on making that a thing, but I think it looks good regardless. For example, I think the rain drops are supposed to be a bit bluer than what I ended up with, but I like them as-is.
Let me know what you think and if you’ve stitched any TFPS patterns in the past!
