🧵 Finished! My sampler is officially complete!
This project was pure magic — whimsical mushrooms, calm lakes, forest birds, trees, and tons of tiny details that made every stitching session feel cozy and meditative. #MysteriousForest turned into a place I kept wanting to return to. 🌲🍄✨
Another piece filled with autumn vibes and quiet beauty.

stitching totals for the week. using pattern keeper to mark off stitches, and it provides me with the stitch counts.
didn't stitch saturday or sunday because i opted to spend my time working on sewing projects so i could get a few projects out of my sewing room, lol.
and one of those is my new sofa stitchy station!
case is self-drafted and contains pockets for my scissors, thread conditioner, and orts, as well as a patch for my extra size 28 needles and a (soon-to-be) snap tray to hold my floss drops while i stitch. been using it all day today and it's working so well, i'm so happy. ; u ;
data time!! sharing the results of the survey site from a while back, and asking some deep questions: "what percentage of etsy listings tagged with 'funny cross stitch' are actually funny?" and also "what's the funniest cross-stitch pattern known to mankind?"
And here’s day 5: Black Forest. My super simple take on a gingerbread cottage tucked in a dark, German forest. I may end up fleshing this one out more in the future; I love the idea of it. #allhallowsartchallenge #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #xstitch #darkoctoberstitching #flosstube #stitchmaynia #stitcher #stitchwitch #moderncrossstitch #xstitchersofinstagram #crossstitching #xstitching #modernembroidery #handstitched #embroidery #handembroidery #needlework #needlecraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqXEmAvhpB/?utm_medium=tumblr
