For the last two weeks I've been working on getting things set up, so for now, I only have a few best sellers and personal favourites listed. But if there's something you've had your eye on from The Other Place, let me know and I'll see about adding it asap

Hehe did some dyeing yesterday. Came out a little lighter than I hoped, but I'm excited to #crossstitch on them. I'm really enjoying having some extra free time and making the most of it!

14 designs in 14 days! Finishing with a bang, I had a total blast working in this! This has moved up to spot number 2 of my test stitch queue #crossstitch #stitchsky #pixelart #art

Don't care. Didn't ask. Cry about it. For day 13 I really wanted to play with a gold filigree style, and of course my water style for tear droplets!

Sharing the #pixelart for day 12 because I really love the gradient. But it's not worth stitching all that dithering in #crossstitch form, so I'll put it on pretty fabric instead

Pixel art that says "The first draft is just telling YOURSELF the story."
The first "T" is a drop cap, and theres a text cursor at the end

Day 11: one more "Fucking Christmas"! I totally ran out of ideas for this series and then brainstormed and ended up with too many to choose from 😂

Double digits! Day 10 is another for the series that I've affectionally titled "Fucking Christmas". Full disclosure that if I do Christmas Goblin for this year's seasonal #crossstitch pattern, this one (and tomorrow's!) will be next year.

Day 9 is my 4th and final Mini Monster Aerialist of the week. I still haven't gotten any further on stitching the big version since this last post

Day 8 puts me over halfway through this challenge, AND over halfway through these mini aerialists. I keep getting shocked by how well these transfer to about 1/3rd the size for the amount of detail I fit in them.

For day 7, I have a mini version of the Demon in Chains! I think when I stitch this one, I'm going to do the chains in embroidery chain stitch this time

Day 3, and this one only took me about 3 hours all up to put together. What do we think... should I aim to get this #crossstitch pattern out for this Christmas?

Measure 15,000 times, #crossstitch once? I'm really enjoying pins for marking where my couching stitches go #stitchsky

Cross stitch WIP of a mummy using her wraps to hang like aerial silks. The metallic gold border is in progress, and there's 18 pins marking the fabric.
Along the bottom straight line, it makes the grid line every 10 stitches.

Slowly but surely, the border for the Undead is coming along. This is a nice view of how I couch down the outer edges, then fill in the inner motifs. On the right, you can see the loose threads hanging down as I work my way around from the starting point at the left corner. #crossstitch #stitchsky

Interest check! I'm considering mini versions of my Monster Aerialists. They won't have any of the same level of detail I can fit in the larger ones, but they'd be a bite-sized (and possibly less intimidating!) version of each. #crossstitch #stitchsky

Side by side cross stitch mockups (work in progress). On the left is a partially transparent ghost sitting in a trapeze (no backstitch yet). On the right is the same image but in a smaller canvas size (including backstitch).

2/ Well I thought I'd take the opportunity to share my reference pic! This design was requested by my mum, for a family member that owns a lot of instruments, including this specific 8 string ukulele.

1/ By far the most common misconception that came up while I was working on this was that it's a guitar, followed by the assumption I didn't know what a ukulele looked like, because it had 8 tuning pegs - doesn't a ukulele only have 4? #crossstitch

I usually try to have a #crossstitch pattern release ready to go more than a month in advance, so I'm not stressing about finishing in time. But this is June's, and we've still got the border to go, so follow along to see how quickly I can get her finished! Starting with 2 Buffy episodes to grid..
