A tiny stitchy friend with maximum cozy vibes. I finished this adorable little Baby Snail from the wonderful @mamawitchxstitch, and honestly? I’m obsessed. Like… dangerously obsessed. Stitched on 18ct using DMC floss, this tiny forest friend is bringing all the fall feels straight to my crafting corner. Baby Snail is the pattern called and has the cutest little mushrooms growing on its shell. This whole design is basically a warm hug in floss form. Think mossy greens, toasty browns, and that perfect mushroom red that makes you want to sip tea and crunch leaves. If you’re looking for a small…

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when pigeons and raccoons team up in the middle of a candy pink brick alley… well, wonder no more. Because my newest handmade card features Gerda Steiner’s iconic pigeons doing what pigeons do best (looking cute but absolutely up to no good), while a couple of mischievous raccoons rummage through the trash like it’s their weekend hobby.Spoiler: it 100% is. To set the perfect “urban wildlife takeover” scene, I used my favorite brick stencil with some deliciously pink Distress Oxides, because who says chaos can’t be aesthetic? The critters are all coloured with Copic…

So, I decided this year’s holiday card needed to be peak cozy, very pink, and maybe just a little extra. Enter: the Lawn Fawn Cozy Cats, starring in their own festive rom-com moment. First up: the background. I grabbed a brick stencil, smooshed on some pink Distress Oxides, and boom — instant “cottagecore Christmas but make it bubblegum.” If my wall at home looked this cute, I’d never leave the house. Then came the scene building. Because why use one stamp set when you can raid your whole Lawn Fawn stash like a gremlin on a mission? Everything is colored…

Some people make classic Christmas cards—snowflakes, soft blues, maybe a polite reindeer.Me? I said: What if the North Pole had a dramatic phase? So I busted out my Distress Oxides and created a full-on galaxy background.Dark. Moody. A little mysterious. Basically the “I listen to sad Christmas songs on repeat” version of a sky. And then… because balance is important… I plopped three adorable MFT polar bears right in front of it. Don’t worry, they’re still cute, even though their backdrop screams “I’ve seen things.” I coloured them with Copic markers so they match the aesthetic: soft, sweet, and slightly…

Sometimes a project comes full circle… and sometimes it hops right back into your lap demanding a glow-up. This tiny witch frog from MaxStitchesArt on Etsy was actually the very first cross stitch pattern I ever stitched. So yes, this is a restitch, and yes, she’s back and cuter than ever. The design features a little frog rocking a purple witch hat, looking like she’s about to cast a chaotic but adorable spell. I stitched her on 16ct black aida, and those greens and purples hit so much harder this time. Black fabric may test your patience, but it also…
