It’s not much but I finally have an update on my #crossstitch Link! 🎉 Got 1 of the 3 shades of gold filled in on the left leaf after neglecting it for months 😅 I have of course sprained my wrist and put a stop to all stitching again 😭😩 but it’s nice to work on this #zelda piece once more 🥰

Sorry for being away for so long, but I’m back and excited to share that I have finished my #crossstitch #starrynight piece!! 🎉😄🎉 Took months of slowly chipping away but man am I not only happy it’s done but I -love- how it turned out 🥰 Added a bonus pic of the back which is also fun 😆

So has uhhh #kpopdemonhunters taken over anyone else’s fyp? Or is it just me? 😅 The art style got me trying my hands at some mini #crossstitch designs and I had to try the group logos first. Used a lovely opal diament for the huntrix and a manyal gradient for the saja boys. Super pleased with both!

Finally starting on the metallic gold for my big #crossstitch Link piece! 🎉 Send me all your good vibes y’all as there are soooo many fractional stitches 🫣😭

Finished my #crossstitch #hermes piece! 🎉 I’m bummed I don’t have time to work on more greek gods until after the summer/con season but I have no regrets that I did Hermes first. Epic has no doubt ruined his identity for me 😅😆 lol

Back to chipping away at my massive totk/botw #zelda #crossstitch set. Welcome Ganondorf and Riju to the crew 😆 just got two more sages to stitch and all the portrait ones will be done 🎉

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Starry Night #crossstitch update! I’m now 74% stitched 🎉 I’m also 100% leaving the yellows and oranges till the end for the ✨drama✨ of it 😆🤭

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

I finally got my email and ordered a switch2 🎉! So to celebrate I'mma test some more #crossstitch minis from my monster #zelda #botw / #totk set. I've circled the ones i'm thinking of but anyone have and requests? 🤔😄

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Feels like I’m so close to finally scrolling on my big #crossstitch #zelda piece here, and then I’ll do like 2 inches for stitches for hours and go “Oh…maybe not” 😅😆

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Wanting to use these extra cases I got in a pack and thought making my own ‘learn to cross stitch kit’ with patterns and supplies could be cool 😄 What’s something you wish was in a kit when you first stated to #crossstitch ? Asking for a friend 😅😆

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

New #crossstitch pattern release! I really wanted these out for the one year anniversary, but it's been rough to do the clean up on them 😅 Still, these highly detailed little minis are now up on my shop for anyone that wants to make their own 😄 craftigurumi.etsy.com/listing/4308...

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

So I teach #crossstitch classes at #gencon and the events catalog went live yesterday! 🎉 Many are already full, but some are still open (like prepping for framing) and I'm waiting for my second stitch a dice tray class to be approved. 🤞 Thank you to everyone who signed up so far! 🥰💜 I'm so excited!

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

Up to 65% finished on my #crossstitch #starrynight piece! Just the slow chipping away at this point, but I’m loving how it’s looking at viewing distance now 🥰🤩 You can really get a feel for what’s coming in the negative space at this point too

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

The set is finally all done and up! 🎉 All 4 #lotr #crossstitch bookmark patterns are now up in one listing in my shop 😄 I love them so much, but man the hobbit one might be my fav 🤩 craftigurumi.etsy.com/listing/4297...

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Chipped away at some more of my big #crossstitch #zelda piece of Link 😄 Hoping to finish up his cape thingy and some of the belt before I add the metallic leaves on. The negative space they make is always so lovely 🥰

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Working on testing my #rainbow #bookamark designs today. Really excited to try out the pastel and jewel tone palettes for it too but I don’t know which design to try it on 🤔

Continuing my slow work at converting panel 2 from #zelda #totk into a #crossstitch pattern 😄 I have to boot up the game to check the colors for some spots as my screen shots just don't have a high enough resolution 🙃

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Made big progress on the #lotr #crossstitch bookmark testing! I’m committing to redoing Moria as I’m not thrilled with the need for fractional backstitches to make it work 😩 That #shire one is my mental happy place right now though 🥹

2405

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Got some more time in on my big #zelda #crossstitch this week. I’m so close to doing backstitch and scrolling up for the top half 😩 I’m looking forward to using more colors after so much green 😆

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Working on testing my #lotr location inspired bookmarks and sadly have to restitch the moria one. The rock is too dark for the little figure blobs 😩 Hopefully mordor keeps going well. #crossstitch #stitchsky #teststitch

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Before and after backstitch for this #lotr #crossstitch bookmark from the set I’m working in. I really like a lot of it, but i think i made the rock too dark. You lose the little figures on the bridge 😩 so gotta do a round two 🙃

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Working on a #crosstitch Link from #lttp wanted poster to match my #zelda one based on the sprite in game. Man I love that they both have messed up noses 😆 I think I want to change the text to match the 'kidnapped princess and call if seen' in game, but really happy with it so far 😄

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Starting on my next dice critter #crossstitch pattern! Thid one is everyone’s favorite jell-o block baddie 😆 #dnd

Been trying my best to just live in the world right now, I know we all need words of encouragement. #loveislove #lgbtq #CrossStitch #stitchsky #art #artsky

A rainbow colored drawing filed with wave shapes. Stitched into the paper are the words "Love is Love" in a yellow/gold thread.

Really loving how the cypress tree in my starry night #crossstitch pattern is coming along 🥰 adds so much depth and I can’t wait to get it to the point of adding the backstitch to see the movement that adds

As per usual for me, one idea quick spiraled off into a different one and now I have a pile of #crossstitch farm #animals inspired by #stardewvalley 😆 The babies exist thanks to @bobblingoblin.bsky.social and the reason the baby cow owns my whole heart 😍😭 craftigurumi.etsy.com/listing/1886...

I think I've gotten more use out of these #dinosaur #mini guys than any other #CrossStitch #pattern I've ever bought XD #stitchsky #stitch Another one from the talented @craftigurumi.bsky.social !

A small finished cross stitch in a hoop. There are three dinosaurs around a campfire. A tiny purple compsognathus is accompanied by a green raptor with a pale tummy, and a yellow stegosaurus with brown crests.

Working on expanding my #crossstitch advent designs into full #bookmark pattern sets, so I started with my favorite 2, the rivendell/elvish one and the #rainbow one 😍 I would like to move to the shire one, please and thank you.

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Anyone else just discover #EpictheMusical and get inspired? 😅 I'm considering making some stand alone #crosstitch #greekgods (on the left) or scenes inspired by events in the musical (on the right). Why yes, I do really like Hermes' song in it, how'd you guess? 😆 #odyssey

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Progress update on my #starrynight #crossstitch 😄 Left is just the crossstitches only and right is my progress with adding/testing backstitch thickness. Really really happy with how the backstitch is lending to the impressionist feel and overall how it’s working up 🥰 About 21% done! 😄

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

Little #dice #dragon friend is done! 😄 I just love him so much 🥰 Really looking forward to converting my gelatinous cube drawing into #crossstitch next. You can find the #pattern up in my shop if you'd like to make your own! craftigurumi.etsy.com/listing/1865...

Neon Swears by @craftigurumi.bsky.social I did actually get one stitched at the start of Jan when I had a few days off. But seriously, tell me with a straight face that you don't want a neon purple "Fuck" in your life

6 small cross stitches on black plastic canvas. "Fuck" in purple, "Dammit" in orange, "Bitch" in pink, "Hell" in red, "Shit" in green, and "Bastard" in blue

Small cross stitch of the word "Bastard" in a blue neon effect on white plastic canvas

Made some chibi drawings for a series I’m calling ‘dice critters’ last year and I’m finally getting around to patterning and test stitching them 😄 Little #dragon here is probably my fav so he got converted first 🥰 #crossstitch #stitchsky

Craftigurumi @craftigurumi.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Got inspired by well *gestures at everything* to revisit my Sweet Salvation #crossstitch pattern. Not sure if I want to have the upcoming month/year or not 🤔

The pattern doesn't call for beads, but SPARKLY MUST OCCUR. Design from @screamingheart.bsky.social, hopefully fully sparkly this week.

A cross stitch that reads "Please be patient with me, I'm from the 1900s" in a black, old-timey font that is slowly being highlighted with very bright yellow and orange shiny beads.

I'm a little late to #LunarNewYear but I wanted to contribute, as #Snake is my year! I'm a 1989 kid :3 #CrossStitch #pattern #kofi #lantern #glow #stitchsky Shop Link! ko-fi.com/s/c7245e66e9

A cross stitch on sparkly blue fabric. The subject is a bright green snake with a tan belly. It appears to glow from the light of two lanterns above it. There is a red arch behind the snake, with 2025 adorning the top. Inside the arch is a dark gradient with a golden flower motif.

The backside of a cross stitch piece. The threads are chaotic but the shape of the piece can be vaguely made out.

Got some fun negative space on Link now that I’ve added more blue background. I think I might do the metallics last on the left side there instead of first this time 🤔 just over 40% done now though! 🎉 #crossstitch #zelda #stitchsky

we need to bring back words like wastrel, rogue, ruffian, ne’er-do-well. there is an epidemic of miscreants doing shenanigans and we have lost the vocabulary to describe them.

Any #chronotrigger fans out here? This #rainbow shell is probably one of my favorite beading #crossstitch designs I’ve ever done as I always wanted one when I saw it in game. The colors just ended up so pastel and beautiful 🥰 #stitchsky

Timelapse of me testing my #crossstitch pattern for #vangogh 's starry night. I shared the render a few weeks back, and got some requests to film the test stitch 🙂 So let me know if you wanna see more cause it slows me down lol 😅 Song: ocremix.org/remix/OCR01957
