I rarely get to stitch for myself, but jumped on this @sproutinglupine.bsky.social pattern so quick! And then I converted it to a Cosmo palette. Thank you for the fun stitch, Kat!! #crossstitch #stitchsky #craftsky #nature

new year, new Valentine's cross stitch sampler! 💕 The pattern for Butterfly Bouquet is out now :) #CrossStitch #StitchSky
A butterfly, moth, and heart themed cross stitch sampler stitched in berry pink, black, and gray threads on a soft pink fabric. The butterfly and flower motifs are interspersed with heart borders. Major motifs include a large common rose swallowtail butterfly with heart-shaped spots and backstitching details on the wings perched on a large pink peony flower, a black and gray butterfly with heart-shaped antennae, and a mostly black, clear-winged swallowtail butterfly with the numbers "2025" above it and the initials "KLH" below it.

Been spending a lot of time recently framing my models and it's honestly so nice to see so many things I've made all together like this. Normally I finish a design and throw it in a box after taking pics but having them all nice and framed and displayed together? Chef's kiss
Several rows of framed cross stitch pieces displayed together. The pieces are all in different frames and are different sizes.

Many tutorials later, I finally made a new logo and branding for Sprouting Lupine!
A logo with a green circle overlaid on a light brown paper texture. A monochrome drawing of a sphinx moth is in the middle with the text "sprouting lupine" wrapping around the circle with x's as the dots for the i's.
