Whether you're a bobbin person or a floss drop per Whether you're a bobbin person or a floss drop person, I've got you covered!  I don't talk about my own products often enough, but if you're new around here: I sell stickers! 

Whether you do cross stitch or just embroidery, I've taken the time to research and make sticker labels for TWELVE different embroidery thread brands (plus Mill Hill Beads!) so that you can easily label your threads.  Plus I update them any time new threads are released!

I do have plans for lots more brands and even more sticker colors, but I probably not 'til next year due to other projects I have going. 

Still, when I do, what would you like to see most? DMC Soft Matte? Gloriana Silks? Cottage Garden Threads? Dimensions? There's SO many different brands out there! So feel free to make suggestions. :)

Yep I totally trailed my threads for those little white highlights. Absolutely no shame. I generally test all my designs myself and I have a limited amount of time to do so. So,  y'know. I save time where I can. You can't convince me otherwise.

Artfight so far! I've done about a dozen attacks Artfight so far!  I've done about a dozen attacks so far, mostly pixel art with some cross stitch. 

I've been having fun experimenting with backgrounds. I haven't done much in the way of backgrounds before, especially not a full background like that first image. So it's been quite the learning curve! This is my favorite part of artfight really, an excuse to play with my art style without concern.

I don't use this swirly sparkly shading style in my cross stitch usually as it's kinda annoying to stitch, but I'm really curious what y'all think of it. Should I design some stitchy patterns like this?

If you look close at that cross stitch attack, you'll also notice I mixed cross stitches and half stitches. It's actually on 28 count so it uses cross stitch over 2 and half stitch over 1 and it came up with a pretty interesting texture. How does it look? Up close it looks kinda wild. But at a distance it makes for some very nice curves so idk.

Anyway, this is just a few of the attacks I've done so far. Mostly my favorites! So if you're doing artfight this year, feel free to peek my profile, I'm Sirithre there as well! And I'm on team Tragedy. <3

I posted a bit ago asking what people used to stor I posted a bit ago asking what people used to store their perle cotton balls. And... well, this is what I ended up doing. 

I have this small set of handmade wooden drawers that I picked up from Facebook Market place years ago. I cleaned out the bottom drawer, got some custom acrylic dividers made to fit my drawers (all three drawers are different sizes! Fun!) And fit two balls to a divider.

The top two drawers now have my full DMC set.  Which I would show but a good chunk of them are kitted into various project bags throughout my house so..... it's looking a lil' slim right now.  I'll be sure to show those off next time I have them all in one place.

This month's cross stitch pattern is this cute lit This month's cross stitch pattern is this cute little leafy piece. Because I'm already yearning for the cool days of autumn.

I don't handle heat very well, so summer is definitely not my favorite time of year. I gotta do *something* to get me through the hot season, so channeling a bit of fall leaves is one way to do so. 

My apologies if this feels a bit out of season though. 🤣 Hope you like it anyway!
