Happy #WIPWednesday! 🪡💕 This design is moving ver Happy #WIPWednesday! 🪡💕

This design is moving very slow (and teaching me a lot about patience and frogging 😅), but I always enjoy seeing them come together outside of my head. I probably shouldn’t tease much beyond this stage…although I did just frog a bunch of it, so I may still be at a sharing stage for a little longer. 😜 

Even when I can’t share, I’ll be working quietly behind the scenes and looking forward to showing you the official release in a few months…and peeping here when I can to see all of your beautiful stitchings! 😍

I have officially finished making Christmas gifts I have officially finished making Christmas gifts (for this year 😜)!! 🥳

Now I can get back to restful pleasure stitching for myself. Luckily this design will be equally appropriate for general winter as for Christmas, so I have a few months left to finish. 😅 

How’s your holiday stitching going? Are you still scrambling to finish gifts, or are you slow-stitching with Hallmark movies in the background? 🎄🪡🥰

Starting a new stitch thanks to some inspiration f Starting a new stitch thanks to some inspiration from a surprise design commission! 🥳🪡💕

Or, I should say, re-starting a new stitch after a teensy bit of frogging. Learn from my mistakes, fellow stitchers. If a design is color-sensitive and calls for one brand, don’t assume another brand conversion will be an exact match. Sullivan’s is usually very close to DMC as you can see in the third pic, but that third shade down really had me questioning my design for a minute! 😅

Now back to stitching! I won’t be able to show you this one for a few months, but I’ll try to sneak a couple WIP pics as proof of life. Keep teasing me with your own stitchings in the meantime! 🤗

It seems I’m not the only one in a stitching funk It seems I’m not the only one in a stitching funk right now, so maybe I can inspire my fellow cross-stitchers with something a little different. 🪡 💕 

Introducing my new “Flowers in Stitches” counted thread embroidery sampler, now available in the current Spring issue of @justcrossstitch! 

This design was so fun to stitch, with just enough standard counted cross stitch to keep your confidence up while teaching you 15 (if I remember right) classic embroidery stitches right there on your familiar Aida cloth. 

I hope you’ll give this one a try; I can’t wait to see what you make with me! 🤗🌷

(P.S. I almost forgot to recommend the beautiful blue fabric from #wicheltimports and the amazing hand dyed floss from @thegentleartinc! If new stitches don’t inspire you to pick up a new project, maybe an excuse to try fun new materials will. 😉)

I’ve made some slow progress on this one…and now I I’ve made some slow progress on this one…and now I think I’m going to rip it out. 😅🤦‍♀️😭

Either the software mock-ups have become less reliable or my designs have been more in need of color accuracy lately, but hopefully one of these days I’ll learn to trust my instincts BEFORE test stitching. I don’t want these stitches to jump off the background, but I’m thinking there wont be any contrast at all with this color. 🤔 It’s fun to play with the waste canvas but it sure makes it hard to confirm what the colors will look like once it’s gone! Maybe someday I’ll also learn not to play and design at the same time. 🤪

I hope you all are having a more productive start to your stitching week! 🤗

I’m not doing much creating these days, but I did I’m not doing much creating these days, but I did manage to make this cute little kit for my niece’s birthday a couple weeks ago. 🐣🥰

Am I the only one who loses creative energy after the holidays?? Maybe I’ll force myself to pick up a wip today…or maybe I’ll hang out here for a bit and be inspired by all of your #sundaystitching! 😍🪡🧶💕
