Just needs backing and the edging finishing but the stitching is done on the bookmark for my step mum for Yule 💜 #CrossStitch #Yule #VanGogh #Bookmark @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social

Last day of work until 6th of Jan. was working from home but need to go into the lab for the day. Roll on 4:00pm!

Bought this book, hopefully I can understand how to make knotwork. Then I have to transfer that to a cross stitch pattern.

#WIPWednesday a cross stitch bookmark for my stepmum for Yule 💜 @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social

WIP Wednesday Hey! It's me, trying to see what you're stitching! Share your cross stitch projects below! Maybe find a new stitchy friend! Specialty fibers show up on dark fabric SO MUCH MORE. #crossstitch #fiberarts #StitchSky #xstitch #WIPWednesday ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#WiPWednesday #CrossStitch So not much stitching done, but I did do some! Trying to finish this bookmark by Saturday. Also put a couple of patterns on my KoFi along with a link to my cross stitch pattern editor app. ko-fi.com/s/e5a5b4e816

Ugh, can’t sleep but so tired.

Is there such a thing as glow in the dark floss, or ones that only reveal a colour under uv light? #CrossStitch

It still smarts when I read about Crystal Dynamics making the Tomb Raider games. Core was robbed of the franchise and deliberately starved of resources to make us fail. CD had no clue why it was so popular. Tomb Raider was unique and innovative in the way the mechanics worked, CD destroyed that.

Feeling creative today, might make a pattern set 🙂

Hello #CrossStitch people! I have released v0.3.0a of Stituation Critical! I am rubbish at documentation though so just muddle through it for now 😄 github.com/Aethelstan20...

Pattern preview in action. Couple more tweaks to the exporter and will release.

I’m adding a pattern preview to Stituation Critical and will do a release over the weekend. Any constructive criticism is welcome 😃 #CrossStitch

Joseph Wright is one of Derby’s own. Plenty of his work in Derby Museum for anyone interested.

WIP Wednesday Hey! It's me, trying to see what you're stitching! Share your cross stitch projects below! Maybe find a new stitchy friend! I'm deep in model stitching so I can't share, but I did stitch this tiny white flower this week! #crossstitch #fiberarts #StitchSky #xstitch #WIPWednesday ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#WIPWednesday #CrossStitch Here is today WIP, started it this evening and need to get my arse into gear and finish it! @aelfida.bsky.social and myself are making a pair for her step mum for Christmas.

Is there such a thing as too many needle minders? Asking for a friend.

So, now I have redound some mojo, I decided to make some Christmas themed needle minders. Here are some charms I bought for them. First step was to pick which ones to do first. 1/n

Omg! I cannot believe this and feel so humbled, but today I was awarded The Johnson’s Paint Trophy for physics!

Thank you @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social 💜 I love my needle minders and their safe place you made! 💜

Not even 12pm and I have made something. Maybe reducing my medication has worked, not feeling constantly dizzy and fatigued.

Good Afternoon #crossstitch friends! I have a new pattern up in my shop and its a bit different from normal. Today I have and Alphabet. I normally don't do much letter work in my designs but I needed a change of pace with my drawing so I made this. I hope you like it. ko-fi.com/s/45d91843fc | #kofi

I’m enjoying making patterns, but I am making way more than I could ever hope to stitch.

Progress on my Class 91 pattern.

Hello #CrossStitch people. I’m thinking of making some count ruler measurer things, like a ruler but with four different scales on to match fabric counts. What counts would be useful on it? It will be double sided with two scales on each side.

Found this old photo, a proper blast from the past! It’s from the PlayStation experience, 2002 I think. We were there showing off AoD, pretending it was on track to be released in three months time. It then got delayed by a further year. I’m the one at the front centre.

WIP Wednesday Hey! It's me, trying to see what you're stitching! Share your cross stitch projects below! Maybe find a new stitchy friend! Anyone stitching holiday gifts? I don't stitch gifts typically, but I do like stitching ornaments. #crossstitch #fiberarts #StitchSky #xstitch #WIPWednesday ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Here is my WIP Wednesday! A bookmark I designed and have been stitching for @aelfida.bsky.social Still need to back stitch and finish the tree emblem, but very happy with it so far 😃

Made these, Night Elf male and female in Christmas hat. Will do human at the weekend.

I think I am going to be grumpy today. Only a couple of hours sleep, then I ordered breakfast for everyone in the house. It was delivered with mine missing. Sigh.

3:22 am. Brain not switching off. Help.

I’m making a Class 91 Power Car pattern.

We bought some nice usb powered lights so we could see our cross stitch a bit better in the evenings. I was looking at them and figured they must come in two versions, one with a battery. Anyway, my suspicions are confirmed. The board is unpopulated for battery charging though.

Currently raging against the printer.

Just leaving this here @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social 🤣💜

I used to follow some custom dice makers when I was still on the hell site. Any on here to follow?

Woke up, put some PWEI on. Turned it on and turned it up high. Today is going to be a good day. youtu.be/2YwfFFcNC9o?...

Well, can’t seem to sleep tonight even though I am tired.

I’ve had one of those days where you are so busy you can’t get anything done. Glad it is finally the start of the weekend.

Started the left side now, once that is done it will be time for the text. #CrossStitch

The lions head shield is done. The background was going to be white, but maybe I’ll do a silvery grey? #CrossStitch

Booked the day off work as I am feeling a little rough, now it feels like a busman’s holiday…

Why do I do this to myself? Normal people would tidy up behind themselves.

Just finished this, I’ve been taking it easy this week!

I’ve not really worked on my spooky library recently. I did just finish this little gem though! #CrossStitch #Cats

Any recommendations for pure cotton floss? This might sound odd, but I need to make a cross stitch that can survive in the oven at 120°C.

With my total lack of energy at the moment, I won’t have anything to show for WIP Wednesday. I am literally sleeping or at work, and no energy in the hour and a half between getting home and going to bed.

Well, that a strange way to test batteries…

I have been so tired today, feel like I could sleep for days.
