New cross stitch pattern - Stargazing Moth
This design has a celestial-coded cecropia moth, holding a twig of nightshade, which bears the weight of the Big Dipper constellation.

Last call for the Poison Dart Dragon on my Patreon!
Did you know that poison dart frogs get up to 6 centimeters big? That's really tiny, so just imagine if one of them really did have wings and was just flying around. What are the chances they'd fly into you? Ahhh!!
This design is going into archive this Friday, May 15th to be replaced by a new design.
New Design - Two of Snails
I wanted to play with the new PVC perforated paper by Wichelt and made a two-sided playing card! One side has celestial snails and the backside is a mushroom. Find this design on my patreon at Tier 3, which comes with a bunch of other cool, human-made cross stitch patterns and the best stitching Discord!

Playing around with G'MIC. It has some interesting image processing effects that can make e.g. Hitomezashi stitching patterns
New video is up! 🪡
5 must-have supplies to start embroidery — and I promise it's not overwhelming.
I cover: fabric (Aida, cotton, linen & even denim!), thread brands I actually trust (DMC, Madeira, Anchor), how to pick the right hoop, needles explained simply, and why your scissors really matter.
Whether you're building your first kit or just curious — this one's for you.
🧵 People often ask me, how they could test, if they like #stitching without having learnt #embroidery. I recommend #intuitiveStitching, it's like #doodles with a needle and you see quick success. If you like it, you then can start to learn simple stitches. Just be wild and play like a child!
