I copied the art from the website that shows all the pokemon man hole covers in Japan (https://local.pokemon.jp/en/manhole/). Otherwise I hand stitched everything and it took me about 5 days.

I initially put the iron on adhesive backing because the plan was to iron it on my golf bag, but it wouldn’t stick and the iron just burnt the color (as you can see on the final product). So I ended up physically stitching it to the bag which was kind of a pain given how thick both mediums were. Overall I know it’s messy with all the thread sticking out and the burned color, but I still think it’s cute.

I don’t love how you can see the white fabric from where I cut around the badge, but I don’t know how to get around that. I hate embroidering on black fabric.

I actually hand embroidered the chansey and wooper badge and made the oshawott head cover from a plushie. I tried to iron on the badge, but it wouldn’t stick and just kept burning the thread so I ended up hand stitching it onto the bag. It looks a bit rough around the edges but I still really love it.

The mew is from the pokemon store I got in Tokyo, and has a little clear plastic window that I’ve put my name and number on just in case.

The magikarp is my hair clip I got at some anime expo in Vegas.

Pls don’t guess my handicap. I just wanted to share all the cool pokemon stuff I’ve made lol.

I didn’t delete a single shot for this session. I still can’t believe it. I know I’m not a long hitter and I’ve (mostly) come to terms with it, and have just been focusing on consistency.

I’m still struggling with my 6 iron and 5 hybrid — the grouping of colors in the middle from 120-140 are my 7i, 6i, and 5 hybrid lol.

I know the next time I golf, it won’t be as great as this so I’m just posting this victory to remind myself the next time I slice my shot in front of everyone that I’m not actually that terrible 🥲m

I also just want to say for the other ladies: I’ve been really struggling with comparing my swing to all the other girls on IG because my swing is pretty ugly. I’ve done all the things to try and make my swing look pretty but it would always result in bad shots. I’ve just come to accept that I have an ugly swing and that’s fine. I’d rather have an ugly swing and a great game than the other way around 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've been seeing a lot of this in the series and think of this every time. I always imagine the pupils narrowing. Is it just me? :<

The other type came in the white/green bottle and the cap wasn’t as bulbous. This yellow cap is pretty round, and after my fingers feel slick with sunscreen it’s so annoying it put back on. I’ve dropped it so many times it drives me CRAZY. I want to scream and throw it every time it happens.

I legitimately am going to try a different sunscreen once I’ve used this one all up (this one leaves my face super shiny anyways).
