In this month's episode of 'wtf do I DO with these In this month's episode of 'wtf do I DO with these now', here's some older cross stitch designs that have been sitting in my stash for ages. 
Do  I just plop them in a frame/hoop? 
Do I make them into like, lil sachet bags and fill them with potpourri?
I don't have a ton of extra room around them, so I'd have to add fabric to do anything fun. 

But how would you finish these?

🎨 Pattern - Available on my Etsy
🧵 Threads - Cross stitched with DMC threads
🎀 Fabric - 14 Count white aida
✂️ Finish - Not FFO'd yet! What should I do with it?

This month's article is all about biscornu! But no This month's article is all about biscornu! But not how to make them -- there's already a tutorial for that on my site (and in video!). But instead, how to embellish them and make them your own~! Whether that be festive tassels, cute charms or beads, fancy buttons, or anything in between.

Hopefully you can use it as an inspiration board of sorts to get some ideas of how you can decorate your biscornu to stand out from the crowd. So check it out over at Sirithre.com

Got more fun ideas? Leave them in the comments to help inspire people! :)

Aaand here's the backside of this month's pattern! Aaand here's the backside of this month's pattern! (swipe for front!)

Yes that is in fact the same fabric. It's actually printed fabric, so the backside is just white. It's always so weird to see. I swear I gave myself a lil jump scare each time I flipped it over to secure an end or something, lol

It's also not at all obvious in the photos, but this dusky grey aida also has GLITTER on it. 😍 I wish you could all see it in person somehow.

Have you ever used printed aida? Did you like it? Why / why not?

🎨 Pattern - Now on my Patreon
🧵 Threads - Cross stitched with DMC, Cosmo conversions
included in Pattern!

For the curious, still on my Sashiko floss adventu For the curious, still on my Sashiko floss adventure! I've started this fun project with incredibly Siri-coded colors and am quite enjoying the process!

I plan to have a video up next week about what I made though if you're interested. 

I hope at least a few of you have embarked on your own Floss Adventure this month, but remember that is not a deadline! Feel free to use the resources over at FlossAdventure.com at any time of the year if you need an excuse to play with embroidery floss 🤣

Remember this folio? I made it as part of my blog Remember this folio? I made it as part of my blog / video on project bags. It's been about two months now and I'm still in love with it! It practically lives on my couch stitchy spot and  houses 2-3 projects at a time. I've got two cross stitch projects going on the right side, and materials for a quilting project shoved into the left side.

I'm definitely getting some use out of it!

 The pattern for the folio itself is from @what_saysie_makes if you'd like to make your own! (Though I did modify it a lil bit)
