![One of my intentions for 2019 was to learn embroidery. 🧵 So, when I saw @salma.reads' Story of her finished hoop a week ago, it just felt like a sign to make my intention a reality. After watching numerous videos on YouTube, I finally marched to @barakat_kuwait to get my embroidery 'gear'. I'll be honest, I stood there for a good 30 minutes overwhelmed by the insane collection of thread and colours they have. How thick is the thread supposed to be? Where are the needles? Why are there what seems like 500 shades of each colour?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I finally picked out my embroidery floss (check me out using embroidery "lingo!") and hoop, and sketched this design yesterday afternoon (which includes my initial in arabic س [pronounced 'seen' for my non-Arabic speaking friends]). I finished it this morning, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out for someone who's never embroidered before!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's to more embroidery and hopefully looking back at my stitching and cringing at how far I've come since starting. 😅

![The first time I was instructed to do this asana, I didn't exactly understand what on earth was happening. I kept thinking, "What do you mean you want me to twist the soles of my feet to face me? What. Do. You. Mean?!" Today, it's a moment that helps me ground my focus while I flow (and makes my [tired] ankles feel great!). So, basically, here's to not being a Judging Judy.
