Heh, the fancy ones don't scare me because I kind of got thrown into the deep end. I did a little seven-color wall hanging when I was about ten or eleven and really enjoyed doing it, so my mom bought me another kit for Christmas. A Dimensions Gold Collection kit. With about forty colors, metallic thread, and blending filament. Since it didn't occur to her that it would be difficult to do -- she'd just picked a picture she thought I'd like -- it didn't occur to me that it would be difficult.

I am less about liking specific designs and more about liking styles, although I seem to gravitate towards animals and fantasy stuff. I like the ones where the shading gets really intricate, especially on things like fabric and feathers. I did one years ago of an angel carrying a fawn with various other animals surrounding her, which is more sentimental than my usual preference, but I couldn't pass it up because her wings and hands were so detailed. The one I just restarted is a brown tabby cat who reminds me of one of my own, surrounded by painting supplies. I'm trying to set aside an hour or so a week to work on it (which isn't much, but it's "structured" time, while most of my crafts are "whenever I can squeeze a few minutes in") while listening to my favorite podcast, and I seem to be making good progress so far.

You are waaaaaay ahead of me in cross stitching haha. That's really impressive :) I hope to one day work towards doing bigger pieces. I just need more patience!

Good luck on your Tabby! I'm doing a smaller orange cat with a short saying on it rn. Nothing special, but it's been collecting dust, so I thought I'd finally do it. I need to be better at structuring time to do cross stitching. I have a tendency to start and put it down, then wander back to a piece after months of not touching it.
