I received this review earlier this week! I love getting reviews like this.

I love knowing that people see my stuff and immediately love it and want to stitch it. I love it when I find other gamers purchasing my things and now I get to wonder if they're taking out their frustrations on their Sims by putting them in the swimming pool and then removing the ladder so they can't get out.

So remember everyone!

I've got a 25% off entire shop sale going on for the month of June! All across Stitch patterns in my shop are 25% off!

I had a dream the other night that I woke up in the morning to find that I had five Etsy notifications. They weren't notifications about news, or so I'm exciting new thing they're testing out.

In my dream, the five notifications were because I made a sale but I had forgotten that I made a post that I'm running a sale.

No joke. I woke up and that's how I were remembered that I made a post announcing that I'm running a sale because I forgot I was running a sale.

So, in my dream, I made five sales. In my dream, I never heard the notifications go off but when I looked at my phone, it told me I had made five sales! That was an amazing dream. Can we make that dream come true?!

All month long, I'm running a 25% off sale in my shop on all cross stitch patterns!

So make sure you reblog this so that all your other followers know that I'm running a sale and they can get themselves some things to Stitch.

I mean, I do sell lgbtqia patterns too just saying.

Thanks @dolphin-doodles For completing this! It always looks lovely!

[sturdy-nerdy-stitchery]

Okay, so I didn't wake up to five sales. Maybe it meant $5? But I'm running a sale so that's not exactly $5 it's $3.75 but what apps. I'm happy to make a sale.

And I hope they enjoy stitching it as much as I did making it! And I hope this cross stitch always comes on their mind when they're driving around town and someone just idling at the light cuz they forget that it turned green.

[sturdy-nerdy-stitchery]

From June 6th to today. I made four sales! One more sale the dream that I had while I was sleeping, will come to fruition!

But you know what'll be great? If I surpass the goal of five and just keep this ball rolling for the whole month. Gas is expensive. Groceries are expensive. Everything is fucking expensive!

So if I can keep the ball rolling, this means I have money to pay for all the expensive things in life.

Why do some people railroad? Multitude of reasons.

Maybe you're working on a part of the pattern that's not a decent square or rectangle to work with and so you have to plan out the direction you're going to go. For example, like this section I'm working on in the video.

Or maybe you're working on part of a pattern that's similar to What I was doing with the black outline. If you think about it logically, going from right to left on something like that means that you're skipping a whole large swath if you're determined to go right to left.

In the process, how many stitches are you wasting by traveling your thread across the back? Skipping across one to three stitches is one thing. That's not too bad. Going ////////// and then skipping 15 or 20 or 50 just to continue ///////// is wasteful in my opinion. Maybe it's the Penny pinching Asian in me...

So, sometimes, railroading is the way to go. You can still continue with your floss without having to skip any stitches and in a way it's kind of fun to plan out your stitches, and figure out the maze of which way to go on your pattern.

Why do we call it railroading? I don't know the official answer but I think it's because you're laying down your diagonals like railroad tracks.

Whether or not you do this is completely up to you. Many people like to do it for the same reasons I do. Others do it because they feel it makes all their stitches look more uniform. I heard one person on one of my Facebook cross stitch groups say they like to do it just to get one section of color out of the way so that when they come back to it after a break, they just have to work the other direction and they don't really have to think.

As for me, I'm just going to railroad. Even if it means I have to go up down up down left left left right right up down up down down down left right left right up down down up up up up up up up left left right down down up right down down up right down.

What about you? Do any of you railroad? And if so, what are your reasons for doing so?

wahoo!! my project is finally finished :)) it's the awesome space pattern from the wonderful @8pxl store ! (link here) go check out their gorgeous patterns :D here's some close ups of my favourite parts

[sturdy-nerdy-stitchery]

Let's have a throw back, but on a Monday.

[theaologies]

Here is my mini ACOTAR cross stitch to rep my favorite bat boy!🦇 ♥️

Details below 👇

Sizing is a little off because I patterned this for 14ct cloth and a 5in hoop but lo and behold I didn’t have any 14ct white cloth 🤦‍♀️ so I did it on 16ct and a 4in hoop. I think the final pattern size for that came out to 3.9in so it’s a smudge small. But it only took about 6 hours of work. 4 main colors, 1 accent, and one depth

[0dddabbledrabble]

This project taught me many things.

- I do not like whip stitching.

- I am not good at estimating the length of time it will take me to complete a project.

- Thimbles are more important than I thought they would be.

- Plastic canvas is a tangible material that exists to spite me.

In the end I am proud of the finished project and the owner that it is being gifted to loves it. That is enough for me.

PHEW.... just over a month of work but it's done 👏 As usual at the end I feel like a couple colors could have been changed but... I'm not doing this one again lmao

Okay! Due to (totally unexpected) popular demand:

CMYK Test Print PATTERN - pay what you want, a tip would be appreciated but no pressure!

[sturdy-nerdy-stitchery]

No, it's not listed yet. I'm working on mock-ups and what not before I get it listed... So here's a mock-up listing all the details that you can find in this pattern when it's listed!

How many other neurodivergent followers do I have who rely on checklists otherwise they won't be able to remember what they're supposed to be doing? 😂

I will let you know, it will be listed for $5.00 so get your wallets ready. Or, to those who have been following me long enough, you should know the secret 10% off coupon code by now that I often put in my posts. If not, go search for it.

I will be happy to list it a whole heck of a lot sooner if there are people who really want to buy it. The more attention this drums up, the quicker I'll be to post it to Etsy. Otherwise, you'll have to wait probably till the end of the week.

Leave in the comments any other relatable things you have to say about neurodivergence! I would love to have some more quotes to work on!

Someone should Stitch the Jeff bezos one. I don't think that one has ever sold yet.

[sturdy-nerdy-stitchery]

Okay, you know what. I'll get this listed when I get it listed. I ran out of Vyvanse several days ago and it's a holiday weekend so I'm not hearing back from my psychiatrist till at least tomorrow.

And not having my neurodivergent medication has really put a struggle on me getting my shit done. And a side effect to not having Vyvanse in my system, I get drowsy for the first few days as a withdrawal. I've been taking a lot of naps over the weekend. Despite every muscle in my body fighting to stay awake. I end up passing out on the couch for a hefty nap.

Just know, the whole pattern's done. All the PDFs. Everything. I just have to list it. But anyone who has ADHD knows the struggle so bear with me, okay! 😂

In the meantime, reblog or comment with what other relatable neurodivergent things you can think of? I'd love to make more pattern ideas but because I have peanut memory right now unmedicated, I'm going to need all your help To think of some new quotes and things.
