Time to play some more Eternal Decks! Tried out the first stage on the beginner difficulty a few nights ago, can we actually manage it on Standard this time?

A lovely and thoughtful consideration of his time spent here; and the impact he has had. I am truly sorry for your loss. ❤️

I thought it was super fun, but then I have a special place in my heart for Feathers McGraw who is surely one of televisions finest villains.

That’s a good idea! I was contemplating making a loop out of the plastic canvas that would come up from the centre at the top, but realised with the indented cartridge that wouldn’t work too great. Ended up having just the middle layer sticking out in the corner and using a tiny jump ring.

Thanks! I actually went into the project under the impression that surely there would be a pattern out there for something like this… and…nope.

I think next time I would go maybe a tad wider / longer. I didn’t want it to come out huge though.

Attaching the keyring part was an absolute arse though.

Thanks! My first time working with plastic canvas and freestyling it from my own pattern too. I think there’s definitely bits I would change when I try again.

The back of a small, grey, cross-stitched original game boy, it has a panel cut out of the back to show a cartridge underneath.

So proud of this! Even if I did end up using the wrong grey on the side and bottom. Had to design the pattern myself as I couldn’t find what I wanted - it’s cross-stitched on 14 count plastic canvas over three layers. Look at the little slot for the cartridge!

One of my most favourite games! I hope you enjoy it.

Am a bit dissapointed in myself I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. Loving it so far!

Started our first campaign game of Maladum last night. The immortal line "this is going better than last time" was uttered.

In other news, need to decide on a time to play our first campaign game of Maladum.

Signed with a big pen like a collectable.

I kind of love the idea of a story where the villain leaves a copy of his autobiography at every crime scene. Bonus points if he has multiple ones.

Is that not how you handle all your kidnapping attempts?

I guess it's time to go find the charging cable!

Eek! I’m on holiday for this launching and I am 100% okay with that. Can’t wait!

Whoop! New puzzle has arrived. Now I just need to finish the previous one... Unfortunately that one is like some sort of spawn of evil wrapped up in recycled cardboard puzzle form.

Took doggo to a social meet up and he fell in love and didn't want to come home ♥️ - he is now zonked out completely on the sofa and I so wish I could join him!

Had a rough couple of days, but managed to get in a few games of My City: Roll & Build, and I'd forgotton what a little charmer it is.
