Embroider is a proper word for it. 
Thank you so much for adding me to your watch and Etsy!

Haha! Good thing I didn't offend you then.
HAEDs? I'm not sure what that is. I took the first movie poster and made it into a cross stitch pattern by myself. I wasn't happy with the details at first so I made it a bit bigger and a bit bigger and when I was happy... I realised that the picture would be about 145cm high (4,7 feet?). So... it's taking some time. But I love it. Just slighty obsessed.
So... yes, two feet is quite big. But it still seems small to my curent project. 
You're very welcome. Always nice to find other people who like the same things as you. ^_^
I also felt inspired to make more patterns so I started making some from my own photos and reopened my second Etsy shop (I sell handmade books in the first one) to see if anyone would be interested in bying. Haven't got much there yet, but it's still a lot of fun. Here's the link if you wanna have a look.

Ah, there you go! Hahaha, goodness gracious, that's HUUuuuuuugggeee. Where did you even get a large enough fabric swatch for it?
HAED is a company I've learned to abbreviate. 
I added your shop to my favorites.

Haha! Yes, it's... quite huge. I switch between "OMG this is gonna be so cool when it's done!" and "what were you thinking even starting this you're crazy!" It's lots of fun though. ^_^ I don't know how it is in the US but here in Sweden a lot of fabric and craft stores have fabric like that on rolls like any other fabric so you can just buy as big a piece as you want. Though I suppose most people buy a bit less than I did.
I might have heard about HAED now that you tell me the full name. I just suck at acronyms.
Now that I look at their site I want to make even more cross stitching! So pretty!
And thank you so much! So nice of you to say. It's mostly an experiment right now I feel. Just to see if someone is interested.

Ahhh that is so cool @_@ I am sure somewhere there must be a shop that does that, but all of the craft stores I've been to only sell Aida/evenweave in pre-cut swatches. 
You're super welcome

Heh. Yes, I suppose it is kinda cool. Very practical at least.
Ooh! Sounds pretty. And who doesn't love books. ^_^ What do you mean with tapestry work though? Not sure I understand that.
No, it' can't hurt.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tapestry work, like, you have to be super solid in your stitching, and a lot of stitchers use a method where you never actually "finish" a thread chain, you just tie/stab it off to the side until the color comes back up. Here is a photo I found to show what I mean: 3.bp.blogspot.com/-sdYfMc8AYbg…

Wow! That looks really advanced. I think I can see the merits of doing it that way, but I'm not sure I could without mixing up the threads.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it's too much for me @_@ I do it on occasion if I have, like, a color really close to the edge of my hoop that I don't want to cut off just to bring back up, but it seems like its wayyyyy too easy to mix it all and ruin your own progress.

I feel like there are parts of my cross stitch that could be easier to do with that technique. Maybe. But I don't think I dare to try it. I would just mess it up

Hej! You're very welcome. I really loved your art, especialy the houses you paint. Amazing! I love using watercolour but I mostly stick to fluffy animals and I'm not at all as good as you yet. Maybe one day.
And thank you for the fav.

You're welcome. I really liked it. Really felt like winter or a block of ice in stormy water.
You have some very beautiful art in your gallery. Different but beautiful.

I hope you can get some hot chocolate after faving the winter artwork
I love art so I like to try different types of art
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh! Now I want hot chocolate!
And yes, I love trying new things too, but more when it comes to crafts. In art I pretty much stick to pencils and watercolour.

Julmust? I've never tried... I am adding to my "Things to do when I finally have the opportunity to visit Sweden" list
I am trying myself some traditional media but I feel that my hands are like feet when I grab a pencil hahaha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much what I feel when I try digital then. Can't draw straight lines to save my life.
And yes, julmust is great! We drink tons of it during christmas. Like 50% of all the soda people drink then is julmust.
