Lots of cross stitch and needle arts peeps following lately, hello! Welcome!

My content is all over the place (thanks ADHD) and stitching specific stuff may be few & far between.
I’m also a firehose of boosted randomness, there’s no shame or shade if you need to unfollow 💜

Lil buddy. 🥹 Photo from my collection, 1966.
Black and white photo of a middle-aged white man wearing a white short sleeve button up shirt and work pants sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper. Snuggled between the man and the arm of the upholstered chair is a short haired, black tuxedo kitten, lying upside down with his little feet in the air. It seems to be looking at the camera if it knows exactly how cute it is. The man is smiling and looking down adoringly at the kitten.

am slightly disappointing to learn that you apparently cannot dispense carved pumpkins onto Iron golems to make the wear silly hats via custom textures.

(although you CAN dispense carved pumpkins onto villagers, so at least there's that)

Inside the main lamp, instead of the usual lava, there are white ghosts floating around on a black background in a similar manner.

Another sub-genre of my collection is “cats just barely out of the reach of small children”. No date/info.
Black and white photo of a toddler in an old fashioned metal infant walker, looking at the camera. And a wooden table or bench next to him is a medium haired, tabby, cat, and a small fluffy toy that looks like it might be a poodle.

not happy with how these came out - these are the best of the batch.
I usually make small prints, so not has this problem before, but the water based ink seemed to be drying too quickly.

I think i need to try the oil based ink next time.

four prints laid out on a tabletop, two on larger cream colored paper and two on slightly smaller white paper. the print is the same as the blocks above, but the ink has not transferred evenly and the words are distinctly patchy

Starting a new #linoCut that I am very excited about.

This is the biggest single block I’ve cut to date!
