There's options for everyone, whether they involve a special tool, a DIY tool you can make with hosehold items, or just the normal needle and thread you already have on hand as a cross stitcher!

I do my adventures in June, but you're of course welcome to tackle them at any time! :) I just want to inspire you to try something new! :)

Looking for a Pride project for this year? I just Looking for a Pride project for this year? I just released some FREE butterfly designs over on my Patreon & Ko-Fi this weekend. 
I included 12 different flag designs, including color ramps for both a bold rainbow and a pastel rainbow.

Plus, don't forget there's a tutorial on my website on how to turn a cross stitch plastic canvas butterfly into a 3D poseable pin! So you can rock two flags at once. 😉

The tutorial features an old cross stitch butterfly pattern of mine, but the steps are the same! And I filmed the making of this Ace/Rainbow butterfly for myself, so I should have a video version of the tutorial up by the end of the month once I find time to edit it! 

Why didn't I wait til June? 'cause I do freebies every time there's a 5-saturday month, and this year May is one! Plus this gives you plenty of time for you to stitch up some butterflies so you can wear them all through Pride! 🥰

Feliz Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate! Here's a Feliz Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate! Here's a throwback to a pattern I did a few years ago!

I love Calavera designs and I've definitely seen cat-themed sugar skulls before, but they are never anatomically correct. Some even include the ears as if they were made of bone!  So of course I made my own. 🤣

Did you know hardware drawers are perfect for bobbins? I like to use one for my current project if there are too many colors to fit nicely in my project bag. They're just so handy!
