NEW! Silly Snaps - Monster Kitties
It's been a while since I designed anything, but I was inspired this summer by kitties, of course. I don't know if I've shared, but I'm a cat lady. I have one elderly kitty named Minnie. We've been together for 15 years, and we've been through a lot together. One of my favorite things to do in the evening is flip through cat stories on Instagram.
Anyway, I think I've also shared I'm not much into Halloween (scary movies sign me up, Halloween, eh), but I am a fan of cutesy Halloween. I thought about Halloween and kitties and what I'd like to have up in my house, and these adorable monster kitties were born.
I wanted something small since I'm a slow stitcher, and it could be finished differently depending on the stitcher's preference. I also wanted something that could be expanded, like a series, so Silly Snaps was born. I've already got ideas around other themes. Quick little projects that are cute and likely involve a cat in some way.
If you wanted to finish them as something other than pillows, they could be finished individually or as one piece, horizontally or vertically, with a few stitches between the frames.
You can grab them as a set, or individually in my Etsy shop here.
Tiny Temperature Rainbows Cross Stitch Pattern!
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted things on the blog. I’ve been pretty busy, with what, I could not tell you, but there’s been a lot of crafting going on and a lot of work going on in my day job.
Anyway, I do have something to share! I’ve created my first cross stitch pattern. I jumped on the temperature train! Okay, it’s not my first cross stitch pattern, but it is the first one that I’m sharing with the world. Since it makes me so happy every time I walk by it, I put together a pattern for it!
The pattern is available in my Etsy shop. It is $10.00 and includes the pattern in both color and black and white, an alphabet so you can create your location, a close up of the actual rainbow pattern in case you need to see it a little bit better, and a blank chart area so you can chart you location. It also includes the DMC and Paintbox Crafts Embroidery Floss temperature chart (with a blank chart if you’d prefer to create your own color scheme), plus charts to record your highs and lows in case you get behind (like I did).
I used antique white 32-count Lugana from Zweigart and Paintbox Crafts Embroidery Floss for mine. It was a super fun project, and I love it even more now that it’s done and I get to enjoy it.
