Phew! Finally finished the sample for this cross stitch pattern. This is the first of an eventual four #CrossStitch #CrossStitching #Balatro #VideoGames

Upgraded the #CrossStitching setup! The lamp actually clips properly to the easel, unlike on the adjustable workstation tabletop where I paint, which doesn't have any real thickness.

(Still thinking a lot about whether stitching embroidery samplers was essentially fidgeting for ladies of a certain era.)

Cross stitch piece in progress stretched on a wooden frame that is resting on a wooden floor stand. A paper pattern chart is attached to the canvas with a magnet. The work is illuminated by a ring lamp clipped to the stand.

cross stitching progress so far
And we have 2 rows done! 9 hours in to the unofficial #24hoc and I have completed my goal. Every stitch for the next 15 hours (?!) is a bonus #crossstitching

for a bit of variety i've decided to switch to a different section of this pattern for a while...

This year the craft group that I’m a member of is working on a year long project: a slow stitch fabric book.I found this gorgeous old secondhand hardback book at the op shop that I thought would be perfect for the project.

Last year we made our title page to start us off - the general theme of the book being “A Journey Through Stitching”.
Each month, the ladies who are running the project give the group a prompt to create a page around. So far the prompts have been:
- Flowers/floral
- Lace
- Suffolk puffs/yoyo’s

Our latest prompt is Mushrooms.

As I’m predominantly a Cross stitcher I’ll be trying to incorporate a small piece of cross stitch on each page.

Started a new mini cross stitch recently. I love working on little projects like these on my lunch breaks.

A gift for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day! Both patterns for this are from NeedlePopCrafts on Etsy!

Finished this piece for my friend’s mum. She loved it 🥰

This was also my first time finishing a piece using a wooden hoop to display my creation in.

For backing I used cream coloured felt which I blanket stitched on (forgot to take a pic of this).

Throwback to 2017 when I stitched this piece and gave it to mum for Mother’s Day.
Yes, I gave it to her like this and she had to then turn it into a cushion herself because I didn’t know how to, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

I find this flatlay so aesthetically pleasing. The gradient of colours just makes my brain happy 🌈

Last year I started taking little mini cross stitch projects with me to work to chip away at on my lunch breaks.
One such project was this little mushy frog. Towards the end of the year I found out that one of my coworkers is slightly obsessed with frogs, so I gave the piece to her for Christmas. (He’s a little off centre because of the small piece of Aida I was working with)
It was originally on a leather cord which allowed her to wear it as a necklace. But she’s a clever cookie and had an even better idea to add a clasp on it to use it as a keyring/bag accessory.

Stitched on Aida (ct unknown)

Started a new WIP yesterday. My best friend’s mum had an operation this week and is recovering in hospital. So I thought I’d stitch a little something for her (& hopefully finish it by the time she comes home). I could get her flowers but they die - Cross stitch stitch lives forever!

Stitching on cream Aida (16ct, I think)

Also, I’ve just realised it looks like I’m stitching Pac-Man, lol. I’m not.

I finally had a chance to catch up with my best friend a couple of days ago to give her this framed piece as a combined birthday/Christmas gift.
She’s into all things tarot, queer and aliens so when I found this pattern on Etsy I knew it was perfect. (She also recently celebrated an anniversary with her partner, so I thought ‘The Lovers’ was an appropriate card to stitch)
Pattern sold by Etsy seller WitchySticher


Also, I found this gorgeous printed Aida (14ct) mid last year and had no idea what I’d use it for - until I decided to start this project.
I’m so happy with how this turned out and was beyond excited to give it to my friend. And she loved it 🥰
