Oh, boy! You can't believe how anxious I was about this delivery. It took forever!

I must tell you, I logged in today just to check the status, and, surprise!

 

Now, @CaptainBreakout and @chicgamer, may I have a badge for "latest Secret Santa ever"?

Since I see no reason not to keep the Secret Santa thread going well into Spring- I started on the kitty needlepoint my Santa gave me & thought I'd share progress! What I've learned:

20240303_103155.thumb.jpg.9c837665ee4fec406f987fae292fac0a.jpg

 

This kit is in half cross instead of tent stitch- which is good! I've never done tent stitch, but I do half cross all the time!

 

The print has no distinction for where the actual stitches will land 😅 so I'm kinda winging it for what goes where.

 

ohmygodthisNEEDLE! I added a picture of the smallest & largest needles I normally use, next to the one for this kit. It is HUGE. The biggest needle I've ever had. It kinda hurts my fingers because I'm not used to it!

I've got my fingers crossed it'll turn out in the end- I'm worried about the detail around the eyes. I might backstitch there- we'll see!

Last night I dreamed that I received a big box from my AtariAge Secret Santa as a bonus gift for the spring. Inside it there were loads of gaming systems, neatly packaged with matching games of which many seemed to be the same game, only adapted for each console. I had a hard time getting back to class or work, going through all those systems, ranging from handhelds to ColecoVision copies, PC Engine and newer stuff. It was an amazing gift and probably worth several hundred dollars if not more.

Well Dream-You needs to share his new bounty. If I don't dream up a new console in the next week you're in Dream-Trouble! 🤣

 

New update photo- I bit the bullet & did the eyes. I was terrified it'd all go wrong at the eyes, but it came out ok. He looks a lil' sad at getting pixelated, but that's it! I have also begun to adjust to the big needle, now switching back to my regular stitching feels overly delicate 😆20240308_205157.thumb.jpg.b9d45053635e645c0a2486f6d3bbf576.jpg

The cat is complete!

 

Thoughts on needlepoint- that giant needle hurts my hands 😆 I'm sure with more practice it'd be fine, but good needlepoint is hard to come by in America- so I think I'll just mark this as a fun experiment! (Although, if I do find a good kit... 😉)20240319_171432.thumb.jpg.a62282c48fe6082ce633cf307cd50e5c.jpg20240319_172241.thumb.jpg.439c3943409efda274b9956f62fd9d87.jpg

So I enjoy this console. The RGB is cool but the game selection is a bit lacking. Today I finally had some free time to install Custom Firmware 1.30c and add stuff to the system. Oh I really like this! Next step is to check and see what alternate controller can be used. :)

 

Still enjoying Christmas!!

So cool. Have you played the Space Invaders game? I remember purchasing two consoles and two Space Invader games. Sadly I haven't opened either of mine yet.
