I'm still chugging along on the gift I was working on last week.

Here are some highlights!

It's the first time I've ever designed a dog too, which is fun.

Unfinished pink gradient letters are also somewhat visible. A work in progress cross stitch on white sparkly aida that has been gridded with blue water soluble ink.

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

Been feeling a lil' whimsical lately.

I'm stitching a gift right now! We're doing a Secret Santa type thing this year, but only for handmade items or regifting items you already own.

So I designed a custom pattern as my gift. I'm very excited about it!

It's my first time using a sparkly fabric, which has been fun.

The enormous scarf became a haven for the kitty, its warmth a cocoon against the chill, a tiny heartbeat steady in its embrace.

Snuggle season is upon us!

I had to ditch the nice warm oranges because I felt they wouldn't have great contrast in the stitched version

Sometimes I misjudge the resolution I need for a piece. This was one of those times. I mean it's just two colours, I shouldn't need that much space to work with, right? Hah.
