We're planning to move soon therefore I opened the Etsy shop & added a 25% discount on all of the embroideries! www.etsy.com/shop/SutisEm... Moving to a new town is quite pricy so if anything catches your eye please don't hesitate, every littlebit helps & thank you! 💖

This WIP Wednesday features... not much. But clearly it's another biscornu because that's typically when I do backstitch borders like this. I always mark every 5 stitches because I can't be trusted to count higher than 5 🤣 #crossstitch #stitchsky

Labels sure have changed over the years! I haven't had much time to work on photoing the different types of thread labels. Currently I'm debating whether I should carefully take off the labels and flatten them for photos. But I feel bad doing that to the really old skeins like that super rare 929 🤔

What a vibrant color palette this month! Mostly greys browns and reds, but a nice pop of green and purple in there! What would you design with this palette? #crossstitch #stitchsky

Nearly time for the Lunar New Year. I've been stitching these the last few years and really enjoying it! And unfortunately I don't have the extra time to stitch up a Year of the Horse pattern. But it does exist! In fact they all do, they're all on my Etsy both individually and as a bundle!

An update on this project I started back in 2023! Compared to January 1st. It's already time to move my Qsnap! It feels like a fair bit of progress, but blackwork also stitches up much faster than standard cross stitch. But still, progress is progress. #crossstitch #stitchsky

Now that the Christmas rush is over it's nice to get back to normal operations. I did not get as much time as I'd like in 2025 to put together stickers for some more thread/bead brands, but I did put out the Rose color in May and the Needlepoint, Inc set back in March. Hopefully more this year!

This year I want to go back and FFO some projects! But I need help: I did these Pokémon stitches back in 2020. But they've just been sitting here since. Throw some ideas at me. They're small and don't have a lot of extra fabric. No frames or hoops. I have no wall space. 😂 #crossstitch #stitchsky

Struggle with french knots? Would you like to learn the colonial knot? Did you also know you can replace them with beads instead? In this month's article I go over how to french knot as well as various ways to replace them if you simply don't like stitching them. 😂 sirithre.com/how-to-frenc...

Now for a look at the back! I'm not too fussy with my cross stitch backs. They can be neat or messy depending on the pattern. But they're unique and beautiful on their own so I try to always document them before finishing them up into an ornament or framing or whatever else I'm doing with them!

Part of fitting in more personal projects this year means more crafts besides cross stitch! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE cross stitch. But I also love learning new things and combining hobbies. So here's to some more crafty nonsense this year, starting with a small EPP project with half-inch hexies. 👀

Just a little peek at where I take most of my photos! It's a workbench I got for Christmas a few years ago. I love it so much! It's been absolutely invaluable. The wall mounted camera and extra lighting makes it not matter that it's my basement and the middle of the night where I'm taking photos. 😂

New in my shop! This design is called Lucky Star and I've included 4 color palettes! I stitched mine in the bright, vaporwave palette. Do you ever make a wish when a ladybug lands on you? We'd lightly blow them away and make a wish when we were kids. #CrossStitch #StitchSky #Needlework #Crafts

I've got two cute little pastel pieces available now! Both very spring oriented designs, giving you plenty of time to stitch them while waiting for Spring. 🥰 I'm loving this cross stitch pastel ornament series, so there'll definitely be more of these in the future! www.patreon.com/c/sirithre

I've made quite a few of these pastel flat ornaments now! Most of em are holiday themed, but I'd love to do a few more hobby ones as well like the writer one I did a while back. What other hobbies could go well in this style? 🤔

It's another WIP wednesday and I'm working on another pattern very similar to last week's. I think you can probably guess the theme on this one but I couldn't resist a share. This pattern and last week's WIP will be up on Patreon this Saturday!

I love a simple little flat finish. If you've got a cute small you're not sure what to do with, this might be just the thing! I've got a full tutorial over on my website, but I haven't done a video version of this particular finish yet. Is that something y'all would be intersted in? 🤔

With the Small Lamp Grass now up on Etsy, I've also finally made a bundle! I don't currently have plans for more Genshin florals any time soon, which is why I'm confident in making a bundle now. That's why most of my series don't have bundles yet though -- because there's more planned!

Back at it again with another silly episode of Stitchopoly. In which I try to learn embroidery from a board game. What could go wrong? youtube.com/shorts/FxRHk...

It's craft-tea! Is your craft-tea knitting, crochet or embroidery? Maybe all three? #embroidery #tea #crochet #knitting

A lil' teaser at next week's Patterns. 👀 A closeup of my stitches showing just how uneven they actually are when you stare up close like this, whoops. So for all who've complimented how neat my stitching is.. it's a lie. 😂 You just take photos from a distance or at an angle so it's not as obvious.

Just a lil' peeky peek at one of this month's Patreon patterns. Continuing my pastel holiday series. What do you think this one's themed after? 🤔 These black outlines are fun to stitch, it's neat seeing them get colored in after. Would you stitch all the outlines first, or one section at a time?

I've got a whole book of stitched but not fully finished pieces, so when I have a new finish I'm thinking about or a frame I thrifted, I can easily flip through and see if any of these would work with it! How do you store your finishes before they get FFO'd? I'd love to know!

I'm running out of things to say about color palettes. But I am excited for this month's patterns! Lots of soft colors teasing at spring already. 👀 Actually, t here's TWO color palettes this time. Because there will be two cross stitch patterns up on Patreon this month!

My 2025 Stitchy Recap is now up on YouTube! I'll be going over everything I cross stitched with you, as well as any other crafting I got up to last year. Been a while since I did a proper vloggy FlossTube instead of just a tutorial, but here I am. 🥰 youtu.be/1_p3W0XwHRA

Welcome to 2026! I see a whole bunch of stitching in my future. Mostly Patreon designs as always, but this year I want to get more personal stitching done. Starting with this blackwork design I started in, uh, 2023. What are your goals for the year? sirithre.com/cross-stitch...

So. Much. Yellow. January's freebie pattern has over 2000 stitches of this yellow. That's the number I usually use as an estimate to determine whether I'll need an additional skein! I sure hope this block of yellow will be worth it though. 🤣

Just a lil' peek into my office to show off these acrylic drawers I got! They fit great on top of my cross stitch WIP organizer and they hold SO much thread. I've got all my variegated threads that are still on skeins in here. Cosmo, Airo, and Amo threads. amzn.to/4b4zLU6

Another year, another recap. I got quite a lot done this year, so bear with me. It'll take a couple posts. First up, all my patreon patterns for the year! And a few bonus like the swap biscornu and the Glaze Lily hex. I've tried to split my time evenly between original and fanart based designs!

I can finally post the thing I made for @tklv.bsky.social, it’s “kol-ut-shan” (infinite diversity in infinite combinations) in Vulcan calligraphy

This month's article is all about Challenges! With the new year right around the corner a lot of you are planning your goals for the year and I just wanted to give you some ideas on ways to challenge yourself. It's a LONG list, so there's something for everyone! sirithre.com/cross-stitch...

Awkwardly showing you my backside on Christmas. This one's even got a stain on the canvas! 🙈 That's right. Your backs don't need to be perfect. Just enjoy the stitching process and it'll all be fine in the end. 🥰 Hope you and yours have a cozy day in to enjoy any fun new gifts you may have gotten!

This week's Patreon pattern is the final Genshin Impact floral to make it a set of 6. (probably final. I mean, I said that last time, but still...) And also I think finally the last of those pre-stretched canvases. Look how thin that fabric is. 🙈 They used to be so goood, what happened Michaels?!

In case anyone was curious how Midna was getting along with the new cat, her face here pretty much sums it up. 🤣 We still haven't settled on a name; I've been calling her Krobus mostly and the vet knows her as Omen. But sometimes she's Pips, Nori, Boba, Pookah... We'll settle on a name eventually.

Last color palette of the year! And we've gone into a lovely blue green mix with just a hint of black & white. I had a hard time picking the Cosmo equivalents for this set. One of the few times DMC has a cleaner ramp of those tealy greens in the middle.

I know it's not even Christmas, but I also wanted to give you a reminder of these lil' Lemon Pigs! Y'know, just in case you saw them earlier this year and thought "I'll stitch them for next New Years!" Here's a reminder they exist. 👀 Pattern is of course up on Etsy.

This Stocking design is now up on Etsy! You've still got time to stitch it and sneak it onto your tree with some surprise small gifts. 👀 Or the ornament itself could BE the gift!

We recently had a stitchy swap over on the Pixel Stitch Discord. I love doing these bc it gives me a chance to play around and think outside the box. This year's theme was biscornu and I ended up making two! A Star Trek themed one with a bunch of elements from the series. Also a Granny square bisc!

Been a minute since I did a Genshin Impact pattern.👀 Kinda forgot to take a WIP photo until it was already pretty obvious what it was, soooo.... surprise! I designed this over a year ago and am just getting around to publishing it. 😂 It'll be up on Patreon this Saturday.

Recently I found out DMC made a monopoly board. That's right, an embroidery themed monopoly. So naturally I bought it and will now be attempting to learn embroidery from a board game. Check out my first adventure here 😂 : youtube.com/shorts/qZUPy...

Better look at the fabric I used on the bottom of yesterday's biscornu. And of course, a peek at the back of my stitching! You bet I traveled on those salt specks. No shame. It's gonna be inside a biscornu anyway.

If you saw Monday's color palette and thought 'Tacos', congratulations! This is a silly thing I've been wanting to do since I did my Pumpkin Spice one. 😂 And y'all have since given me some ideas for other 'spice mixes' like curry powder and italian seasoning. So... see you in 2-3 business years.

The tree is up and covered in cross stitch! We still haven't gotten around to painting the living room and getting appropriately sized art for above the fireplace. But at least we've got christmas decor up! Though I still have more biscornu to toss up on the tree. 👀

Believe it or not this week's palette is not for a Christmas themed design. But it certainly looks like it could be, eh? We've got the red and green. Some yellows for stars. Some browns for trees or sleighs or something. But it's really not! What could it be instead 🤔

My latest video is up! If you'd like to know how I make the gift card stockings, there's a full text/photo tutorial on my website from a few years ago along with a blank stocking template. But if you prefer video! That's finally an option too! :) youtu.be/fDGKr6faxPo

Switching to full Christmas mode at the house now. Starting of course with covering my tree in stitchy ornaments, such as this Critmas Holly! :)

The pattern for my Book Quilt Tracker is now up on Etsy! Basically it's 16 quilt squares with color suggestions and all sorts of options for how to customize it to your reading! I had a lot of fun stitching this, and I hope you will too! Though I suggest starting with a smaller canvas. 😂

I've been trying to decide if I have the time this year to make more of these quilted ornaments. They're pretty quick to make, but I just don't have my stitchy bug lately so it may be a next year thing. I'd love to see them if you make some! Here's the tutorial: sirithre.com/quilted-cros...

It's WIP day! Looks like we've got another biscornu coming up. ;) It'll be available on Patreon Saturday, but here's a sneak peek in the meantime. Also my stitching buddy, Midna. Though she's still grumpy about the new cat we brought home a few days ago.

This month's article is all about making custom cording out of embroidery thread! While plain ol' stranded cotton will work, I also tried some metallic, perlé cotton, and even some silk cording! Learn how I made these and maybe try and make your own! sirithre.com/custom-cordi...
