Collecting art supplies and patterns really is a hobby in itself, isn't it?... 🤭

Reminder that I have all of these digital patterns for cross stitch up for free!😉

I have no idea what I’m doing’ cat cross stitch work office pattern. 🐈🪴🖥️🙃

Stitching this design was great for taking out my frustration one stitch at a time (if you hate your job then this pattern is perfect for you btw), but also made me giggle bc it's so cute and silly.

Pattern available here for those interested (also link in my bio)

I had to undo it once and rethink the palette because the colors weren't working. But I'm happy with the result!

Pattern on Etsy and Ko-fi

It is finished! 🌺

The pattern is now available on Ko-fi and Etsy 🌺

This was stitched on Aida 14.

Although it is usually recommended to use two threads for Aida 14, I tried using three threads and the close-ups look better.

I think I'll stick to using two threads when embroidering for personal use, and three threads when macro photography is going to be involved.

First sketch for anyone interested in getting into pixel art and/or making cross stitch patterns.

For larger or more detailed pieces, the method I usually use is sketching everything out loosely in Clip Studio Paint first instead of trying to place every single pixel by hand on graph paper. After that, I roughly align and clean up the pixels in FlossCross or Stitch Fiddle.

One thing that really helped me improve was realizing that pixel art is supposed to look a little rough sometimes. If you try to perfectly replicate every tiny detail or line, the piece can end up overcrowded and harder to read once stitched. Not every little line needs its own pixel, and sometimes simplifying shapes actually makes the final piece stronger.

Also, don’t be afraid if your work looks a little uneven or lopsided while you’re sketching it out. In my experience, that slight roughness adds charm and personality ☺️

Pride month means Pride Flags! I created five different cross stitch patterns of watercolor art versions of my favorite flag of inclusivity. What a wonderful gift to make for someone to show your support as an ally or a proud member of the LGBTQ community! LOVE IS LOVE.
