Long time no see, but I have a gift for all the cross stitchers out there! I just finished a pattern and you can get it for free on my ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/s/94a0041164
(it's free for personal use but happy if you tag me to see your work β€οΈ)

I would do a lot of things differently now, but this is the beauty of learning curves, ain't it?
21.04.2025 09:11 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Happy Easter, everyone (who celebrates)!
This year I didn't have the mental and free-time capacity to make something new for this holiday, so please welcome again my previous #embroidery pieces!
Crocheted amigurumi figure in a crocheted armchair or beanbag like thing. The desk, which is under the figure, is a bit chaotic, and there are marimo balls in the background in a jar and some tubes of beads besides. The figure is a mushroom-like fantasy creature and I beaded the cap of it instead of crocheted dots.
Finished #mushroomguy!!!!!!!
She's got a bit of a rizz (so, I tried to hide the atrocious stitching with beads), and #amigurumi won't be my fav game, but I'm tempted to make a bigger one.
Gave her a moss "throne" too (no pattern, just pure chaos).
Love or nah?
#crochet π§Ά
So, #beadcrochet is really fun (okay, I spent half my weekend figuring out the first five rows), and it was a dumb idea to start with black 11/0 beads, black yarn, and slip stitches, but I can't wait to wear this necklace!

A badly implemented lino cut wildflower with stars printed on a blank and basic toiletry bag. Next time will be better I hope
Being a multipassionate person is really exciting sometimes because even I don't know what my next project will be... so I tried out lino printing to fabric. Well, next time I will know how NOT to do the transfer π

I like to yapping about mental health or "weird" feelings or something, and I feel this platform would be much open for real convos, but with the 300 characters I feel like a teenager again π

Oh, it must be fine! I just realized that I have free will, so I could totally make it from sock yarn, because it won't be used as a toy for a child, so now I'm trying to get back my motivation to finish it π

Please tell me that this is not too terrible - I dislike most of the cotton yarns and I still don't know how I feel about amigurumi, but I really want to #crochet that mushroom boi ππ§Ά

Just got another bead #embroidery kit. I didn't really plan it this way, but it's a perfect project for the year of the snake.
(The kit came from Ukraine with a card, and a few nice words were written on it. Knowing the situation, it was hard to keep it together. Thank you so much β€οΈ)
My #knitting π§Ά mojo has left the chat (well, not the cast on, the finishing version of it), but this book gives me comfort. It's the Hungarian version of Bramble Hedge, and originally, I bought this as an inspiration for my drawing journey, but heaven knows, I needed that.
01.02.2025 09:33 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thank you! This is definitely a clever design, and the designer has a really good tutorial for it. My favorite part was that she used paper pieces to mark the end of the rows. It's a simple yet smart and effective way to avoid going crazy.
