Cross stitcher. Sometimes I'm knitting socks or making cute things with felt.

I LOVE Soda stitch. Other favourites: The Frosted Pumpkin, Tiny Modernist, CCN, Maria Brovko...)

I love reading too, so I will post about books every now and then.
My current WIP ❤️ Jane Austen by MrsPeggottyArts on Etsy. Fabric is 14ct cream aida. I'm using three strands of black, instead of two, for better coverage.

First time using Nurge hoops and I'm in love!

I've forgotten to post a photo of a finished piece. Pattern is by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. Mermaid Kisses. 14ct aida. Changed some of the colours and made a mistake too. Couldn't be bothered to frog it, though. 😆

Finished! I didn't stitch the text, decided I preferred it without it.

Pattern is by Soda stitch (SO-352) and it can be bought from their Etsy store.

Fabric is 14ct aida which I dyed myself.

DMC threads.

I think I will add some more backstitching next. I love backstitching ❤️

I'm on fire! Lol. After not stitching much at all for 2 years, I have finally started to enjoy stitching again. ❤️

I continued to stitch this Soda WIP. I love how colourful these patterns are, always such a joy to work on these 🩷

Fabric is 14ct aida, dyed by me.

Finally I managed to fully finish this cute stitching by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I stitched this couple years ago already, but yeah, took a while to turn it into a little ornament.
