I remembered that the writers of the newest run of Thor comics made Oklahoma Thor's new home. I thought it would be fun to embroider something comic book inspired, so Thor was my Okie. Unfortunately I didn't meet the deadline, so my project didn't make it to the fair.
For some reason, I hit a wall, thought the whole piece looked like shit, and realized I wasn't going to finish on time. So I took it out of the hoop, folded it up, and shoved it in a closet. Today was the first time in a year that I've really looked at it, and I thought I'd let you see it too.
Looking at it today, I love it again like I did before I put so much pressure on myself. I am the worst when it comes to being my own worst critic. Old habits die hard, right? But I'm inspired to work on Thor again soon. It's too pretty to be shoved away in a closet, don't you think?
xoxo,
Amy

Wow, Amy, that's incredible! Definitely don't put it back in the closet!!
It's awesome! I love the legs.
This is just incredible. Please finish it! I completely understand about being your own worst critic. I am constantly second guessing myself and judging myself much too harshly. I realize though, that besides being unkind to myself, I'm also stifling my creativity.
Also, I am so in love with your new banner and blog design that I want to practice making out with it on my fist.
This is so fantastic, wow! I love it! Please finish it, I can't wait to see how it all turns out :)
