The Birds are back in town! Since I'm all caught up with the #PeppermintPurple SAL; time to pull #ExtraordinaryBirdsSAL back out! And....maybe finish it before March. For reasons. #Crossstitch #WIP #Stitchsky #xstitch

Been home sick for a few days, and while I haven't been able to stitch..... I totally put cute, color coordinated, stickers into my planner for each #PeppermintPurpleSAL release day. Just a little something to look forward to.

Week one of the #PeppermintPurple 2026 SAL! I'm still working on the frame itself, but for having never done a black work project this has been great! #crossstitch #stitchsky

Absolutely delighted to be finished with the #FFXIV Stitch of Light (sal). It was a joy to stitch, and I learned a lot about various techniques during my (very on and off) time with it. #Crossstitch #FF14 #Stitchsky

Wishing you all the happiest of holidays, from our painted family to yours ❤️❤️ - The Expedition 33 Team!! Artwork made by Nicholas Maxson-Francombe, Art Director.

Stitch of Light update! Blue Mage and Black Mage have been back stitched, which leaves me with potentially doing the final stitching.....tomorrow. #FFXIV #FF14 #Crossstitch #Stitchsky #WIP

Got two more #FFXIV job stones done- Reaper and Red Mage. Nearing the end! #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchky #wip

It's complete! In need of a wash/iron, but I'm thrilled to have finished #twigsandteaSAL in a timely manner! Thank you so much to @finefrogstitching.com for putting together this positively delightful pattern. #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky

Nothing motivates me to read my current book more than going to the bookstore and buying 5 new books 📚

Next years goal: Budget money to toss Patreon money at some of my favorite cross stitch designers because they are worth it.

Look at the pretty employment rocks! ( #FFXIV job stones~ ). Dragoon, Dark Knight, Warrior and Summoner, all back stitched! #CrossStitch #WIP

Pulling out the #StitchofLightSAL again, now that I'm caught up in a very timely fashion on Twigs & Tea. Realizing I have no idea how I'm going to wash this.... 💬 Can't use detergent on this Aida and I've got metallic floss going. #Crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky #WIPs

Is there someone who has "Spellbound Stitches vol 1" that would be willing to share the floss list with me? 💗 I found a copy and would like to order the floss at the same time! #crossstitch #spellboundstitches

Was finally able to donate and snag the Spellbound Stitches Bookmark Bundle, and I'm so excited about all of the amazing designs in there! Plus it came with some book recommendations, win win! 💕 #crossstitch #craftivism #books

cross stitch is so cool its like, what if doing pixel art gave you tennis elbow

I'm currently regretting not having a travel project today. Goodness knows the WIP list is l o n g.....

#twigsandteaSAL update! We're nearing the end and I absolutely need to know who is in that last portrait! Also look at that crazy color correction my phone does. I haven't figured that out yet. #crossstitch #xstitch #WIP #stitchsky

Finished #twigsandteaSAL part 9! Meant to wrap it up yesterday, but I was busier than expected. I'm super pleased I've been able to stay on track again. I still have two more #WIPs to finish up too..... #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky

Finally caught up on #twigsandteaSAL ! Which is exciting, and I'm absolutely in love with Ricky and his hat. #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky

And a part 5 finish for #twigsandteaSAL ~ Feeling pretty confident about getting caught up this week. 🧡 #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky #WIP

Notification this morning reminded me I hadn't posted my finished parts 3 & 4 for the #twigsandteaSAL . The community here is so lovely and encouraging, it's been so motivating. #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky #WIP

It's finally done! I'm very happy that the back isn't a giant hot mess- but more importantly that I let go of some perfection so that I could actually stitch! It looks pretty okay, or at least I hope. #twigsandteaSAL #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky

Well. The plaid and the second table leg are done. Just the top now... and then we can move onto the rest of the pattern! Just in time for Part Six to come out.

I'm really hoping by the end of today I'll have a #TwigsAndTea part 2 finish. What a month! 😰 #CrossStitch #XStitch #Stitchsky

Okay. What's everyone using for their framing adhesive? I think it's time I do something with the stack of finished cross-stitch projects I have.... #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky #fiberarts #needlepoint

Working more on #TwigsandTeaSAL today~ I definitely need to look into alternate ways to secure my pin stitches though, the back is becoming.....something. #crossstitch #xstitch #stitchsky #WIP

Rounding back to my #FFXIV Stitch of Light #SAL ; it's been a little while. Metallic thread isn't actually that much of a pain to work with if you prep accordingly! Gunbreaker, Sage and Samurai are done~ #crossstitch #xstitch #WIP #stitchsky

self-love, self-transformation 🧵

Good news: Was able to finish the frame for #TwigsandTeaSAL last night before part 1 released. Bad news: My keychain broke, but at least I still have it! #crossstitch #stitching #WIPs #crafty

Today I discovered the #stitchsky tag. This is DELIGHTFUL.

NY Times put the Mini Crossword puzzle in their game app behind the paywall... I am now completely uninterested in actually subscribing. #NYTimesGames #TheMiniCrossword

#Twigs&TeaSAL update! I definitely haven't been able to stitch as much as I want but...getting there! I'll be back to the birds soon.

Did I make grime guards specifically for #ExtraordinaryBirdsSAL and #TwigsandTeaSAL? Yes. Yes I did. (Also a cute little ort envelope in patterned paper!) Pro-tip: Photo storage boxes work great for bobbins if you don't need a huge container. #crossstich #xstitch

I genuinely thought I would be better about making posts here; because I'd love to continue to find people in the #crossstitch community. Whoops. So here's an update on the #ExtraordinaryBirdsSAL, the #FFXIV Stitch of Light SAL and my #husky!

“I have too many books” -judgemental -boring -implies impulse-control issues “The books... they have me.” - mysterious - occult - implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage #readingcommunity

This is so relatable it hurts.

Hello lovelies! I think I'll just share my dog and my current cross stitch project and that's pretty much all the introduction you need~ #crossstitch #crafting #FFXIV #husky
