A celestial cat reclining on the moon's gentle curve shares a secret joke with a fish, their shared laughter birthing new stars.

My Plant Sampler: the first of the wheel-and-spoke samplers! Man, I love the wheel-and-spoke look.

Seedling in the center, the beginning of life; next ring has the basic parts (roots, seeds, flowers, etc); and the outermost ring celebrates just how many different forms plants can take.
A photo of a circular 22-part cross-stitch sampler. In the center is a seedling; in a ring around it are various seeds, leaves, roots, etc; and in the outermost ring are a wide variety of plants.

Confession time… who else has a stack of projects just waiting to be framed and hung? I finally gave this one a bit of love and added the burgundy ribbon to the hoop, so it’s officially ready for the wall!

Tell me I’m not alone! How big is your ‘I’ll frame it soon’ pile?

Four images in a grid. The first one is white text on a black background saying "Current Patreon Patterns". The second is of a cross stitch on black aida of a cat sitting in front of a grave stone. Atop the gravestone is a purple witch's hat and a large full moon shines behind them. The cross stitch is surrounded by fake purple flowers and black stones. The third is of a cross stitch on black aida of three rows of pumpkins carved with different expressions. The top row of pumpkins are grey, the middle are yellow, and the last are orange. The cross stitch is surrounded by fall coloured leaves. The last is of a cross stitch on black aida of a fish in an hourglass. The fish is whole in the top of the hourglass, and is a skeleton in the bottom of the hourglass. The hourglass has the phases of the moon carved on the top and bottom. The cross stitch is surrounded by small yellow semi-translucent rocks.
