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

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

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

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

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.

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 😃

If you’re in the Nottinghamshire(UK) area this month, maybe pop into Patchings Art Centre at Calverton for the A5 Exhibition - lots of lovely small artworks, including my trio of Sanderlings 🔽 More details here: www.patchingsartcentre.co.uk 🪶🐡 #art

Last call for my Dragonfly cross stitch patterns on Patreon! I'm designing celestial bugs every months for Tier 3 until I'm tired of bugs. I've provided 2 colorways for this design - neon pop and nonbinary-coded. www.patreon.com/c/badstitch #CrossStitch #StitchSky #dragonfly #CraftSky #nonbinary

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?...

Not been very productive this week, but did a little on a bookmark for @aelfida.bsky.social and I also designed and printed a bobbin winder.

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

Last call for the Bookmark Book for charity! 30 cross stitch designs with a $15 (or more) donation to a humanitarian aid org! sites.google.com/view/spellbo... #CrossStitch #StitchSky #BookSky #Craftivism

2 signed t-shirts! @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social #PWEI

The best night with my love 💜 @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social @crabbicrab.bsky.social

Another one completed 🖤 #CrossStitch

Sooo, used a charm from each set to make this for @aelfida.bsky.social. Needle minder and threader.

Bought one of these the other week. @aelfida.bsky.social loved it so ordered a second one. Now I lost the first one, I think we have a visiting trickster hiding things. Also going make some ourselves as I have about seventy-twelve million magnets, ordered a bunch of charms to use 😀

A little more on Beracwyn, was bored with black so switched to beige and brown. Realised at this point there are a few similar symbols, so will reorder the default set in the app.

WIP Wednesday! Spooky bookshelf big project and bookmark are coming along nicely!

I wanted to show some of my older makes.

A little more done on the Pandaren, I decided to call her Beracwyn.

Thanks to my amazing friend Clare for these pj’s!! 💜💜

A bit more on the Pandaren rogue. Still only black thread, but a shape is starting to be revealed. I need to think of a name for her.

New mugs for @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social and myself! #RollIniative

WIP. Moore done on the ghost and also on the bookmark #CrossStitch

Started with black on this one, not got much in me tonight though as I still feel a bit yuk.

My current project. I might swap it now and again for a smaller bookmark just to stop my eyes going crossed lol!

Next up! #CrossStitch #Halloween #Books #Ghost

Finished! #CrossStitch

WiP 💜 #CrossStitch

I haven’t done much on my bookmark this week, but here it is. Also I did a bit more work on my pattern editor software, it now generated a true size grid that can transfer onto the cloth. The panda is my next one, the pumpkin cat is for @aelfida.bsky.social

Happy with the edging on this ❤️ #CrossStitch

Maybe try and finish this pumpkin today. Light is fading though…

Work in progress

Hello again. I have now uploaded my #CrossStitch pattern software. I have fixed the false positive, but you will still have to let defender run it as I am an unknown developer. Remember it is an alpha release, so some bugs, not back stitch yet etc. github.com/Aethelstan20...

I built the alpha for StituationCritical, my #CrossStitch pattern editor. I’ll find somewhere to host it after I run through the shower. Hopefully people may find it useful, though be under no illusions, it still needs more work.

Tyrion felt left out! #catsofBluesky

How Drogo thinks Saturday’s should be, lying on mummy, kneading bread and snuggling my arm! 🖤🖤 just listen to that purr 🖤🖤🖤. I guess I’m not sewing right now lol!

This is so cute!

When you get a text saying your temu parcels are now with the courier! That’s 8 #CrossStitch kits and 4 #lego flowers arriving tomorrow hopefully!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social

So would anyone be interested in trying/testing the alpha release of my #CrossStitch pattern editor? I would appreciate some feedback on it. I will make it available for download at the weekend.

Cat and pumpkins completed, next up cauldron and flying cat! #Halloween #Bookmark #Cross-stitch

First #stew of the autumn made and had today!! Life is not bad lol @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social
