    Five Colours, One Xeno

    8 February, 2026 - By 

    Sometimes you just need a project that is equal parts satisfying and slightly unhinged, and this one delivered perfectly. I stitched this iconic space creature using a pattern from NightSkyStudioDee (Etsy) and honestly, I loved every tiny, slightly ominous stitch. I worked this piece on 16ct DMC fabric, which gave me just enough detail to make the design pop without turning it into an eye-straining marathon. The best part? The whole piece uses only 5 DMC thread colours. Five. That’s basically a capsule wardrobe, but for horror icons. It kept the stitching super focused and let the shading do all…

    You Are Demogorgeous

    Sometimes a project starts with a simple thought: my friend loves Stranger Things.Sometimes it escalates quickly into stitching a flower-faced nightmare with a compliment.

The pattern has that perfect balance of creepy and cute. Enough teeth to feel on-brand, enough humor to make it giftable without causing alarm. The kind of piece that…

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…

    Witch Frog

    25 November, 2025 - By 

    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…
