February 12, 2022October 16, 2023 Siri0Tagged BehindTheScenes, Cross stitch, Resource

Hellooooo all. This is a bit of a different post than usual for me. I tend to focus on tutorials and cross stitch resources. But every time I post a photo that includes a part of my office I get questions. So I wanted a quick reference full post tour of my cross stitch studio. […]

I'm still adding to my office! I posted the bigges I'm still adding to my office! I posted the biggest changes at the beginning of the month, but I feel like I change something every single week.

Some changes since last time:
A new (used) cricut machine courtesy of FB Marketplace, some more wall foliage, a cute lil oak leaf hook to hang my cricut mats from. 
And probably most importantly -- some lighting in my storage area. It was truly needed so that I can actually see my materials when looking for a specific skein or crochet hook or what have you. 

Real easy to set up, just some adhesive LED strips. But it's made all the difference. 

I really need more stuff to add onto that load bearing wooden beam in the middle of my space though. Those sad daisy vines aren't quite cutting it. Any suggestions?

Thinking of designing some new fabric label sticke Thinking of designing some new fabric label stickers. Out of curiosity -- what information do you like to track about your cross stitch fabric fabric?

Type of fabric ( Aida, Linen, Evenweave..), Thread count.
Brand, Color, Size, Plans... anything else? 🤔 What am I forgetting?
This month's article is all about LARGE projects. This month's article is all about LARGE projects. BAPs, HAPs, and just plain lorge cross stitch patterns that always seem so daunting until you're actually in the midst of it.

I don't do as many large projects nowadays, but I used to. So I've brought you my experience working on them as well as asked the kind folks of the Pixel Stitch Discord server to share their current recommendations on the topic.

From how to handle all the excess fabric, to how to stay motivated. 👀
Head on over to my website to find out more!

Swipe to see the front~! --> In case you missed it Swipe to see the front~! --> In case you missed it on Monday. ;)
But here's the backside of this month's design. Neither neat or messy really. Just a normal looking back.  For me.

Everyone's cross stitch backs are different, so if yours doesn't look like this. Don't panic! Your back is perfectly normal too. Everyone's different and stressing too much about the back is a quick way to ruin the fun of the craft if you're not careful.

Of course if you ENJOY going out of your way to figure out the perfect path to make the back of your stitch immaculate that's completely valid too! 

Just be honest with yourself as to whether the back is *actually* important to you. Or if you'll be finishing it in a way no one will ever see it anyway. ;)

🎨 Pattern - Now on my Patreon
🧵 Threads - Stitched with DMC, Cosmo conversions included in Pattern!
🎀 Fabric - 14 count Oatmeal Aida
✂️ Finish - A pre-stretched canvas square. But there's tutorials on my website on how to troubleshoot your own!

I've been trying to share more of my not business I've been trying to share more of my not business related craftiness. So here's some minis my husband and I painted recently for the Mansions of Madness Path of the Serpent expansion. 

I think we're still missing just one expansion, Horrific Journeys. And with FantasyFlight being notorious for discontinuing things without notice, we should probably pick up that last expansion sooner rather than later, huh? 😂

Anyway, I painted the ones on the left, and he painted the ones on the right.
Though a couple of mine got cropped out to fit on insta, whoops. The most important rainbow serpents made the crop so I'm ok with it. 😂
