A cross stitch in progress on multi-colored mottled aida showing a little smirking face and a needleminder shaped like a carton full of crab rangoons that says, "I'm a slut for crab rangoon."  Work in Progress Wednesday.

An extreme close up of a work in progress cross stitch. There are brown, purple, and green stitches making up a leafy looking structure. It's stitched on pale green aida that's been gridded with blue water soluble ink.

Oh, new leaves are always so exciting!

Where we live, frost can still happen up until the end of May, so we haven't started any plants yet.

Our little indoor basil plant is keeping me going for now, haha.

A cross stitch of a robot planting seeds. In the ground are already growing robots. The cross stitch is surrounded by dried flowers and leaves.

I'm really looking forward to picking up gardening again when the weather improves.

Until then, I have these little guys to keep me company.

This is one of my free patterns, Botanical Bots!

Today I finished Catnana, a delightful little pattern from @manda-infinitybear.bsky.social , a really enjoyable stitch. "Atop a plush yellow pillow, the kitty nuzzles in a little bit closer, dreaming of the sweet scent of banana." #crossstitch #catnana #xstitch #infinitybeardesigns

Some pixel art motifs in swirly patterns, consisting of stars and hearts in pink, blues, and white.  Text states: Looking for Flosstubers / Streamers who are open to promoting my Trans Day of Visibility Campaign this year! Requirements.  I'll send you the pattern & campaign info.  Your video should drop during the campaign (3/29 - 4/1).  You must have at least 200 subscribers and have produced at least 1 video/stream a month. Stitching the pattern is optional but would be cool. BAD Stitch.

A cross stitch on light blue and pink aida framed with foliage from the seasons. Only 1/2 of the cross stitch is visible. In one section, a bear and bird are bathing in a small pond. Little foot prints lead to the next section, showing the bear and bird enjoying some blueberries on a summer's day.

A cross stitch project on bright yellow fabric, staged with moss, bobbinated floss, leaves, and flowers.  The cross stitch shows two harvest mice, perched on top of white daisies, their noses touching.  There's a subtle variegated alphabet. BAD Stitch.

Can you believe this is the first sampler I ever designed? Two cute harvest mice are perched on daisies, kissing noses!

I hand-dyed this fabric using liquid Rit dye & stitched the alphabet and border details with COSMO Seasons.

This is "Disappointing Acorn", one of 8 patterns accompanied by either a story or poem from my zine, "The Noir Dimension". My husband and I wrote a series of haikus for this one, which was a lot of fun!

I use them all the time, even with small projects. It helps me catch so many potential mistakes!

So I just do grids of 10. I don't have any problems pulling them out, usually. I just try to be careful when stitching near the intersection points because if you don't, the x's can be a little messy.

A pile of embroidery floss trimmings lay in a big wad.  There's blue, white, and a lot of gold metallic floss bits mixed together.  A blurry pair of embroidery scissors rests on the left.  Work in Progress Wednesday.

A work in progress cross stitch on navy blue aida that has been gridded with red fishing line. Light green stitches are taking shape into some sort of canine animal and a partially obscured threaded needle can be seen in the top right.

I'm stitching a lil' guy this week!

Good luck with the metallics! They seem very intimidating and I've only heard horror stories, but the finished result usually looks quite nice.
