She’s finally done! Had to make some color changes because it would’ve been lost on the fabric (don’t even get me started on the fabric).

Another finish!
“Unfortunate Souls” by Forbidden Fiber co.
16 ct Love Potion also by FFC
Called for floss

This was the first time that I enjoyed stitching letters. The tentacles gave me so much drama - there’s a few flubs in it but oh well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My second attempt with dyeing Aida.

I collected rose and geranium petals to get this pretty purple color - it’s darker in person. #CrossStitch

Work has been super stressful so I did a little retail therapy.

The fabric and floss will be for Maggie Mae. It will be my first time using Classic Colorworks, so I’m excited for that. The fabric is much lighter in person - I wanted something fun to stitch her on. #CrossStitch

I bought this pattern the other day and I am antsy to start it. I’m trying to do a DMC conversion and wondering if I can get away with stitching this on Evenweave instead of linen.

Current progress on Yule Goddess by Tiny Modernist.

This is my first time using Pattern Keeper and I love it. However, I’m still having counting issues and messed up on the heart. 😂 I didn’t want to rip out the stitches, so I stitched over the errors with the correct floss color. #CrossStitch

Celebrating St Patrick’s Day by stitching with green thread.

I did the math and if I put in at least 100 stitches a day, I will have this done by July. We shall see how that goes for me. 😂

I finished March’s motif for #Stitch4Pride! I opted for a dark green thread as it gave me more of a dragon vibe.

She’s a bit wrinkly but I finally finished this! This was my time stitching on linen and I probably won’t stitch on it again. 😂 Not a fan. Then again, I probably should have gone with 24ct instead of 32ct. Live and learn.

My stitching buddy is still pouting from the trip to the vet this morning. #crossstitch

I made the jump to stitching on a canvas bag and surprisingly it wasn’t too terrible.

HOWEVER, the bag ended up shrinking when I was washing off the water soluble canvas 😂

Pattern came from Cross Stitch Favorites: Spring.

Impulse buy. My husband doesn’t like it which makes me love it even more. 😂

The nose requires satin stitches so looks like I will have to watch a few tutorials on YouTube. #crossstitch

Getting closer to a finish today! Making this birthday announcement for our niece. #crossstitch

It’s been a stressful week, so I’ve been putting in more stitches into Yule Goddess. I’m loving the Pirate Robin conversion. #crossstitch

Another finish for January. This is going to my niece. she bought me this kit for Christmas and i was able to find a cowboy hat pattern to give it a Chappell Roan vibe #crossstitch

My second attempt making a felt ornament.

First year hosting Christmas Eve dinner. I am so proud of the floral arrangement that I made.

Finished this guy up last night. My first attempted at a flat fold. #crossstitch

Saturday I attended a cocktail and floral arrangement class and had a ton of fun. The cocktail was absolutely delicious and it was cool to learn ways to manipulate the flowers.

Current wip. #crossstitch

Glad to see some Schlager representation in my top 5.

I have a class next Saturday on assembling this badger so I’m trying wrap this all up by then.

It doesn’t help that I’m being distracted by a cheesy Christmas movie. #crossstitch

I spent the past few days slowly decorating the house for Christmas. Very excited to have some of my homemade ornaments this year on the tree.
