My grandma taught me was counted cross stitch when I was a kid, and I can remember her telling me that the back should look as neat as the front.
Close enough.
Every year I make Christmas ornaments. Nothing commemorative, just random things based on my whims. This year, I thought that I’d dig into my stash of embroidery floss, only to realized that I’ve been whittling away at it since … March 2020 … without adding to it at all. So yeah, I didn’t have any deep greens. Or any of the other colors that I thought I had.
Oh well, all part of the fun.

Looks cute!
Haha, my mom told me what the back looks like doesn’t matter because no one will see it. Sure made it easy to undo mistakes when I kept it neat, though.

I can understand not letting the back get so messy that it makes it harder to work, but I ain’t no perfectionist, lol.
