I’d love to do one of those huge pokemon pieces but with all the neopets instead 👀

Happy Friday! As promised, we have an announcement. We’re taking a summer vacation! There will be no regular samplers for July. This will let us do a few things:

1. Recharge. Our queue is still suffering and we just need a small break.

2. Work on commissions! We have amassed quite a backlog of folks who are interested in custom patterns and we’d really like to get through them. Commissions won’t be reopened per se, because of the first item, but we definitely want to keep the creative spark going.

3. Go through and update the gumroad patterns with improved versions and single page options.

All that being said, we don’t want to leave all of you wonderful folks hanging for a month. So we’re going to be doing a mystery stitch-along! It is going to be a very small piece and it is definitely a beginner-friendly pattern, although not a beginner-friendly method of work. We will be releasing a new section of the grid three times a week in lieu of shitpost samplers, and they are intentionally mixed up so as to keep the end product a mystery as long as possible, although it should start to get obvious towards the end. 

The grid is 40 stitches by 30 stitches. Because even while “relaxing” we can knock out a 10x10 section.

What will you need if you want to play along? 

Aida of your choice of the right size. Prism will be using 18 count so her final object is going to be TINY. If you aren’t sure how large your fabric should be, we usually check with a cross stitch calculator.

3 colors of floss. If you want to mimic the pattern exactly you will need: 917 (Medium Plum), 414 (Dk Steel Grey), 3810 (Dk Turquoise). However feel free to use whatever colors you prefer or have on hand. The 917 is the main color with main accent of 414 and touches of 3810

Any other accoutrements of your choice. Prism is actually gridding her fabric for the first time ever since it’s here and there, and hopefully it’ll make it a little more obvious visually.  

And that’s our announcement! This will all start on Monday and we are really hyped to see how this goes.

I will definitely be doing this - Such a fun project!

UK/European cross stitchers! where do you regularly purchase your coloured Aida? I’m having some difficulties getting the shade I need in the right fabric count (Light blue, 18 count) and would much appreciate some links!

Thank you in advance! 💕

I made this for my uncle and sent it to him yesterday. No special occasion, just because I love him and I miss him. I wish I could be there when he opens the package (we live 1200 miles apart). He has no idea it’s coming, it’s a surprise! Link to the pattern below. by UnicornSlayer5000. (source)

It’s been a long while since I last posted on this blog - unfortunately cross stitching progress has been slow due to reoccurring rounds of eczema on my hands. Things seem to have improved recently though, so I’m happy to be back stitching again! :D

Completed today! 🐝

It’s been a while because life but here’s some progress at last. Just wish it was more. It won’t be done in time now, I’m pretty certain. Sorry @writerdarkflamespyre
