Hello! I’m Ruru (my beloved nickname from my MMORPG days), and I am on a nerd-tastic mission to make nostalgic cross stitch collages of my favorite games across the decades. Etsy has glorious pattern creators that I was all too happy to support. Human art is best art! 🥳
Took a tedious little minute to get the completed boxes filled in, but finally got to move on to the background for Garland’s boss box. My wonderfully crafty daughter actually had good felt on hand so I could scoot the fabric over far enough. Not much more to go! #FinalFantasy #crossstitch

That’s such a fluffy, sleepy pumpkin 🧡

Ohhhh kay now. That’s freakin fantastic, good on you being so innovative!!! I’ve been making do with Q-snaps balanced on lap pillows 🤣 Next dream acquired!
I have this exact pattern in my queue! That looks so good!!! And I’m envious of your amazing stand, I gotta get me one of those 😍
I’d forgotten I’d shared this, haha! Thank you!!! 🥰
Finally getting the spacing on these babies complete - so satisfying to have everything line up right 🥰 Filling in the white in the borders before moving onto Garland’s box! #FinalFantasy #crossstitch
I didn’t even notice that, that’s perfect 🤣
Somehow, amidst one hell of a parental weekend of bussing like never before, I was still able to make progress 🥳 Nothing irks me like stopping before a space is filled in like that dang menu glove, but I was so exhausted. Soon, menu glove 🧤 #FinalFantasy #crossstitch
Oh my gooooodness 😭 Her forehead veins, even!!! And the darker teal background against Tanjiro’s hair. Ugh, what a lovely pattern, that’s fantastic 👏
I cannot see a photo of Nezuko without Tanjiro’s voice screaming “Nezuko!!!” in my head 🤣 The detail and bold use of black in this pattern is amazing, love it!
Black belt is appropriately named and the boxes around the character stats are taking shape. Finishing black belt’s will give me the spacing to start working on the battle menu underneath. Old school RPG design was just so simple and lovely 🥰 #FinalFantasy #crossstitch
Hahaha, the feels! Ive definitely done that to a few projects. Whatever feels right, you do, no shame either way 💪
It’s always the smallest of details that bother, and then no one ever notices it but you 🤣
Look at the baby!!! Awesome detail with the curling hair and tail, that looks wonderful 🥳 I have to show this to my daughter, crochet never clicked with my brain
Coming back to an unfinished work can be just what it needed sometimes; so much of the enjoyment is vibe and mood, haha. Those mistakes can pop out so much easier with time, too. Love the leaf border bringing in the green ☺️
Thank you! Haha yes, that one took seven months. I learned how to cross stitch from my mom when I was 12, though, so I’ve been making them a long time 🤣

Good for you getting into it! Isn’t it relaxing? 🥰
Internal dialogue before bed: “Man, I’m so happy I got to make so much progress this weekend. More down time than I usually get. I’ll just snap a photo before - OH MY GOD I NAMED BLACK BELT BLACK MAGE.” Guess I know what I’m working on next time 😅 #FinalFantasy #crossstitch

Thank you so much!!! You do amazing work, too! ❤️🥹❤️
Amazing pattern and colors, this looks spot on to the anime!!! I so want to get into anime cross stitches, but video games have the current hold on me 😅
Amazing, so checking out your page later!!! Congrats! 🥳
And now for the boring progress: more grey pole borders! Granted, this is nothing compared to stitching endless black rows on black cloth, haha, but tedium always has its moments. Made it to the corner of what’ll start the name & health boxes, though, so that’s something! #FinalFantasy #crossstitch
So nice to get lost in the repetition and let the world melt away a bit 🥰
I don’t know if it’s the simplistic design and colors, especially after such a complicated cross stitch of the Stardew map, but this is such a satisfying piece to make progress in. Black Aida cloth is just so beautiful to work on. Art progress is the best 🥰 #FinalFantasy #crossstitch
