Creating skellies is joy. And sometimes it helps me stay sane while living in constant air raid sirens, drones, explosions... Well, this was the fastest design and fastest stitch-out, done in less than two weeks. These ladies are alive and available in my Etsy shop masandragifts.etsy.com

Fresh finish: the queens of the past 😍 it was an exciting journey to stitch them while diving deep into the history. Special thanks to Nastya and Myra, for helping me with the research 🖤 hope, the lesson learnt and nobody would be able to tell them that martial arts are not for girls.

Opened the news after a couple weeks of news detox... I'd rather be #sketching and #crossstitching — at least I have control over it.

Do you feel the air of the nights around Beltane? With a full moon hanging like a luminous orb in the sky. That almost tangible magic, crisp air yet softened by the warmth of spring’s unfolding.

Ceasefire they said. putin wants peace they said. Here, at Kharkiv we here this "ceasefire" every f*king single day. Last night a whole family, who was sleeping in their beds, was killed — perhaps, their home attacked peaceful rockets.

New week, new queen! This time we stitch Tomyris, a queen of Messagetae, famous for defeating Cyrus the Great. She's reminds us that sometimes power doesn't always wear a crown—it sometimes rides into the battle.
The pattern is available on my Patreon 🖤

#TGIF came across this one of my earliest projects. Started 25 Feb 2022, just to keep me busy from bombings that were every hour, day and night. I grabbed an old cotton curtain, a needle, and some machine embroidery thread — there was no option to get any thread, or fabric, or food, or cash...

🖤 Women’s History Month SAL – Cleopatra
This week’s drop: Cleopatra, a ruler, strategist, linguist, and survivor. She stood against Rome, shaped her destiny, and defied the narrative written to erase her power.

From circus performer to empress of the Byzantine Empire, Theodora shattered every expectation. 👑🔥 She ruled, reformed laws for women, & refused to flee when her empire was in flames. History tried to erase her. We stitch to remember.

60 years ago, my grandparents and FIL risked their freedom and lives for a chance to hear the news of free world, instead of soviet propaganda. If FIL got caught, he would be sentenced to death for espionage and treason.

It's Friday and it means a day of meetings that could an email. Well, at least I have some time for sketching... looks like the Grim Reaper will spend a weekend on reading and me on detailing the sketch and turning it into a pattern.

⚔️ Women’s History Month SAL! This week, we honor Amina of Zazzau—a warrior queen, a ruler, and a legend.
Born in the 16th century, Amina defied expectations, led armies, expanded her kingdom, and built fortresses that stood the test of time. She wasn’t just part of history—she shaped it.

So... I opened the news. Okay, I have a rhetorical question: did Canadians say Thank you to Trump enough or weren't wearing good enough suits? In this case, I have an answer. And no, the flowers' colors were not chosen accidentally.

It's time for the Part 2 of Women's History Month SAL and we're stitching Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians. Though, her name meant to be erased from history, she is still an inspiration to those who refuse to be told what they can or cannot do.

I rarely say anything that's not related to stitching, and especially anything about other countries internal politics. Just because mostly it's not my business — I have local politics and issues to be involved. But that's not this case.
