If you want to keep up with all my new patterns, updates, etc here is where you can find me! I also have a newsletter on my website that I send out occasionally.
I’ll still be here but If you’re journeying away, here are alternatives; I hope to see you wherever we all end up.

My new favorite bird and pattern on Patreon ($6 what!) is a Steller's Jay AND a bonus feather bookmark!

www.patreon.com/c/badstitch

#CrossStitch #StitchSky #Needlework #StellersJay #Corvid #CraftSky #ArtShare
A round, trinket tray with a repeating pumpkin motif with a cross stitch center. The cross stitch shows a steller's jay perched on an oak branch that has orange leaves and brown acorns. The photo is staged with pinecones, berries, wildflowers, and a cool, Swiss army knife, blade out. There's a small bookmark perched on top of the tray, shaped and cross stitched to look like a steller's jay feather. Patreon Exclusive. BAD Stitch.

Happy Earth Day!

One way to reduce your carbon footprint is to let the earth reclaim you when you leave this world behind. Circle of life and all that. I hope my skull becomes a home for some cute animal friend someday!

We've gotten a good amount of rain lately and things are starting to green up. Just a few more weeks before the leaves and flowers finally come back.

Enjoy the spring rain and maybe you will even have some friendly bats to help carry your umbrella too!

Today's lunch day progress #wipwednesday for another #crossstitch pattern in the works.

You can see that I start with an outline and then fill it in and figure out the shading and colors from there.

What do you think this one will end up being?
