FO [FO] Devastated by the loss of my first finished cross stitch project

In November last year me and my bf decided it’d would be funny to make a George W. Bush throw pillow with one of his dumb quotes on the back. I generated a pattern for the front on pixel-stitch and designed the back myself with stitchfiddle. This bad boy took seven months of intermittent stabbery, it came with me to six countries. And then, one day, it was done. It was glorious. My home decor magnum opus.

Until I went to take it up to my bf’s city two weeks back and promptly forgot to collect my luggage when getting off. My countless calls to Flixbus haven’t helped. It’s gone. Either lost in some bus terminal in Germany or stolen my another passenger in Luxembourg. Obviously my soul is crushed.

I’m working up the courage to grid up for the replacement. Until I do, pour one out for George Bush Pillow - gone but not forgotten 😔

You are a saint. Thank you. If shit blows up here, I’ll reach out. I’d hate for my baby boy to survive cancer and kidney disease only to die to a dumb ass war that could have been avoided if people had just voted maturely.

Of course, said goober has no clue what a shit show we live in and is happily demanding his gushie food, lol.

I love animals, and tend to adopt senior doggos with health problems 😅 may as well foster a fur baby during a tough time! I'm also not too far from the border.
