Cee - Echo and Mine

Love to see people being so creative with my designs 😍 This is a wonderfully fun and colourful ode to us stash hoarders

I've forgotten bluesky exists for a month, but I'm so glad this is the first thing I see when I open it again 🤩

Can't wait to see what you do to dice goblin!

The car drives! It's the logical choice for travelling around the Monopoly board (see also: dog)

Metallic gold backstitch reading "the witch"

I had to put this away for longer than I would've liked, but now she has her title!
The camera doesn't do this sparkly gold justice 🤩

I always have the best of intentions with my inventory sheet, and then.... 🤷‍♀️

Raise your hand if you've ever been certain you had a backup skein, but then you run out of the colour and realise you didn't

🙋‍♀️

An emergency supply run wasn't on my to-do list for today. Whoops

Anyway, here's a sneak peak at what I'm working in and hoping to have ready to release in 2 weeks

Cee's original #crossstitch plans for July:
✔️ Take a break
✔️ Re-release an old pattern
✔️ Refill pattern reserve

What Cee is *also* actually doing in July:
✨️ Bundle a set of old designs
✨️ Add a second colour palette
✨️ Design 2 new additions to the set

Wish me luck #stitchsky 💀

He's so goofy! I love him 😭💖

#tbt Throwback Thursday: This time two years ago I released Sneaky Beaky Foxy Woxy and I'm still obsessed with the orange and pink colour combo.

Plus is comes with 2 other snarky text variations

Looking forward to hearing from you bro 💖✨️
That has no right being that funny

I think they might actually be onto something here...

This just in, #stitchsky : Cee discovers gridding does in fact make counting easier - even if it is boring as heck 😤

Anyone else have a super unorthodox gridding method?

I love 18 count black! Dark coloured evenweave on the other hand... nothing's quite like it for making me second guess both my vision and counting skills

We should start a support group

Full off the hoop look at my witch #crossstitch progress. After editing the border pattern (because I can't count) I switched to couching and it's so smooth! I've been converted - highly recommend!

In this case I had to make sone edits because if I couldn't even stitch it, I'd be quite a sadist to release it like that and make everyone else suffer with me 🤣

After getting this far and learning that I can't count, I went back to the pattern and recharted it to be slightly simpler. And that dear friends is on the importance of test stitching

"I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to the designer."

- me, the aforementioned designer, who only has myself to blame

A set of 5 pastel cross stitch ornaments all featuring a similar color palette. Varying designs, including a summery christmas design with a driftwood tree, a stack of books with an open journal for writing in. A cauldron full of flowers, a pumpkin wearing a witch hat hanging out with a catlike ghost, and a cornucopia design.

Starting off with a post I can pin to my profile.
Here are some of my favorite cross stitch patterns I've designed. Y'know, to give you an idea of what kinda designs to expect from my profile in the future. 🙂

Basically, expect both nerdy and pop culture designs as well as some fun original ones!

⏸️ BOOK PAUSED: Would you like to continue?

At the point where they start overwhelming you, then it's probably time to finish one. Ask me how I know 😳

And look, another new colour has made its first appearance!

This kind of fell to the wayside in May, but I got about half the month done last night while watching How To Train Your Dragon

Hey look, a thing I stitched!

When Lola put a call out for test stitchers, I knew I had to make something for my bf's birthday.
Did I have time? No
Did I do it anyway? Yes
Did it turn out awesome? Also yes!

📚 Sneak Peak 📚
Plus a little After vs Before of adding the final colour

Cross stitch of the letter "P" in a blue to orange sunset gradient.

Here's the final #crossstitch palette I hinted at last week. Any guesses what I'm making, #stitchsky ?

Pile of embroidery thread bobbins in oranges, pinks, purple, and blue.

This isn't a #crossstitch palette photo! This is actually the reject pile from my next design's palette! #stitchsky

My favourite unit of time for crafting is always "number of [show] episodes watched"!
