A rare behind the scenes look at my workspace as I finish of the exciting part of this #crossstitch #stitchsky

It's been a while since Oreo came and said hi, so he's here to give you a hug and check that you're okay. Have you been drinking enough water? Experiencing the sunlight? Rolling around in the grass and chasing butterflies?

Wednesday here, but still a mood

🍓✨

1/ By far the most common misconception that came up while I was working on this was that it's a guitar, followed by the assumption I didn't know what a ukulele looked like, because it had 8 tuning pegs - doesn't a ukulele only have 4? #crossstitch

"I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to the designer." - me, the aforementioned designer, who only has myself to blame #stitchsky #crossstitch

I usually try to have a #crossstitch pattern release ready to go more than a month in advance, so I'm not stressing about finishing in time. But this is June's, and we've still got the border to go, so follow along to see how quickly I can get her finished! Starting with 2 Buffy episodes to grid..

Which Monster Aerialist #crossstitch palette is this? 👀

Just picked up the quilt book tracker myself! Go check out some cool patterns

Another box 🐐 🐑 #crossstitch #cartonnage

This beautiful painted uke is flanked by natural Hawaiian flora, amidst another rich pink and orange sunset. While I liked the rays of light from the Island Sunset, this is something different, with a fun squiggly design. echoandmine.etsy.com/au/listing/4... #crossstitch #stitchsky

AI can take my sparkles out of my cold dead ✨very human✨ hands.

Another one from Drawtober last year! If you're seeing a bit of a pattern, yeah, me too 😂 Participating every October makes it the one month a year I'm churning out a bunch of designs without rest... then I have to spend the rest of the year turning them into reality! #repostyourart #crossstitch

I spent a lot of time with plastic canvas this month, with two patterns by @craftigurumi.bsky.social - I got three of the Neon Swears done, and about half the Dangle Skeleton. These are both really cool little projects! #crossstitch #stitchsky

Lots of plants today for #repostyourart! Plus another comparision from the original #pixelart to cross stitch - a lot of these designs get a bit of a glow up when I #crossstitch them. This one has a bunch of additional subtle shading.

This is going to hang somewhere that future me cannot ignore! #CrossStitch #ADHD

The closest thing I have to a cottage today is this cute little troll home beneath a bridge. Can you spot the sneaky goblin creeping across? #repostyourart 28

Oops! You accidentally forgot about your tea for too long 🐥🌸

Fun wrapped hoop technique!

Full reveal of May's #crossstitch pattern on Saturday! In the meantime, here's another little peak at the background #stitchsky

I've named this little #bat mage Volkov. He lives in a tree, and the candle flames are #magic so they're totally safe XD #crossstitch #stitchsky #art #fiberart #needlework Grab the pattern at ko-fi.com/s/28ea924309 if you're interested :D

Another set that originally came from Drawtober 2022. I really enjoyed this style of #crossstitch with the backstitch flowers in the background. #repostyourart 27: garden

I enjoy the Monster Aerialist style so much that for Drawtober last year, I made this adorable mushroom fairy in that style 🍄 I bet she's going to be fun to stitch #repostyourart 26: mushroom ##crossstitch

#repostyourart day 25: abstract #kleineKunstklasse #wattiskunst #abstractart

Digging way back into the archives for the abstract prompt for day 25 of #repostyourart - this one's from 2017! Should I #crossstitch it? 🤔

If you thought stitching with metallic thread was bad, try taking photos of it. These strands refuse to lay where I want them #stitchsky

Backstitch text looks like a whole other language from behind #crossstitch ##stitchsky

#RepostYourArt day 22, paint. I really love using print fabric to seem like texture. #SewSky #QuiltSky

A lot of times I think I paint too clean, for both of these I was really trying to loosen up and be more painterly. I'm jealous of people that have that skill naturally #paint #painterly #smushbox #repostyourart #repostyourartchallenge26day22 @byjessicaelena.bsky.social

🔮 Magic 🔮 I first posted this for Drawtober 2022, for the prompt "Candlelit Coven," and then again when I released the #crossstitch pattern in April 2024. #repostyourart

The #crossstitch and backstitch are finished for the Vampire! I'm obsessed with that subtle gold patterning inside her cape. Next up: Mermaid design #stitchsky #monsteraerialists

Oops, my hand slipped and a whole bunch more fell into my cart. Someone should probably stop me... Or encourage me with more of your colour comparision queries! ⤵️ #stitchsky #crossstitch

Back on the #cross-stitch train. Kitchen needs decoration, after all.

It's a shame we need resources like this, but this is a wonderful list!

Here's an art piece that didn't work out so well, for day 21 of #repostyourart (cloud). I originally posted this in 2022 for the drawtober prompt "Midnight Delivery," but I considered it a bit of a failure and didn’t #crossstitch it.

Just some familiar looking flowers 🌺 Yes, this is a sneak peak of May's pattern #crossstitch #stitchsky

My favourite little critter being so proud of his little cross stitch 💖 #repostyourart day 20 #crossstitch #stitchsky

Finished part 6 of the Moon Garden SAL by Witch’s Garden Crafts. I pick this one up when my mental health needs needs a boost. Savoring every stitch! #craftsky #stitchsky #crossstitch #movingmeditation #stitchingformentalhealth #crossstitchisselfcare #moongarden

Female praying mantises sometimes eat males during or after mating, a behavior known as sexual cannibalism. Or as I like to call it, Girl Dinner. #crossstitch

One of my favorite pieces, and a great example of controlling variegated thread carefully :3c #embroidery #moth #mothilim #biblicallyaccuratemoth #art #stitchsky

A pumpkin is a fruit, right? Have this cute little cat-o-lantern for day 19 of #repostyourart

Quote with your horn art 🔥

I think I found my next cross stitch project. 😻😹📚💙 #BookSky (found it on the Etsy store FelineAndFloss!)

Trying to make happy art again... I added another family of stargazers off in the distance. I was at Crater Lake once and wondered if animals took time to enjoy the beauty of their surroundings and at that moment a pika climbed to the tip of a volcanic spire and just looked out at the valley.
