I rewatch this on my birthday every year, one of my favs!

😍 Now that’s a beautiful Sunday 🙌🏻

Thanks!

A special FFO for my friend in the NPS 💚💔💚 This is a mashup of Never Lose by @shadedstitchery and motifs from Boreal Bounty & Tree’s Company by @pigeoncoopdesigns.

Floss: Ore & Green with Envy by Pirate + Robin

I caught up on my #motifaweek project this evening with @wendyb616.bsky.social and @jensfiberweb.bsky.social keeping me company. This is my first page finish on And a Forest Grew 🌳 🌲 🌳

Oddly, that’s not a red stomach, it’s golden

Two little birb friends for the bird herd! The detail is so neat to see—they’re very clearly modeled after real species. I wish I knew more about them

Sometimes you don’t start stitching until 10:30PM and you only get to stitch a tiny bit before you know you need to get to bed. But hey, I got to stitch on a tree today and that’s my happy place ✨🌲

#crossstitch #foresthome #theblueflowerstitching

Looks fantastic! Love the frame too ✨

I’ve got almost all the floss collected for my start of Garden Cat for my #LifeOfPiSAL starting in 10 days (3/14). These colors are giving me life, and I think they’re going to look fantastic on this piece of Lotus linen by BeStitchMe ✨

I honestly can’t wait to get to all the little critters sitting on these branches. I stopped myself from stitching the entire trunk, because I would assuredly miscount and be really upset with myself. Let’s see how the first few rows of animals fit first!

#crossstitch #foresthome #theblueflower

I had to start the border eventually— this tree trunk finally gave me a good enough reason (it was the same color)

I finished my #motifaweek goal yesterday—it looks like such a tiny amount of progress, but these 3 little motifs are about 300 stitches. I’m just glad I got through them without any miscounts this week 😂

#motifaweek #andaforestgrew #andaforestgrewsal #rosewoodmanor

Cute! Well done ✨

Finished the orange (🍊?) tree today against all odds. Definitely ended up frogging the nest at least once. But we’re back on track and I just have to remember not to count anything else off this tree 😅 Aren’t those baby birds the cutest? 😍😍

#crossstitch #andaforestgrew #motifaweek #rosewoodmanor

😅 Sorry! You might resent, but you won’t regret 😄

Worked on my #motifaweek project tonight, but this tree is large and so I’ll finish tomorrow. I picked up a cold 🤧and I’m a little out of it—so I definitely miscounted a few times and will need to finesse things. Nature isn’t perfect, so I’m not worried about it

#andaforestgrew #rosewoodmanor

Really loving the variegation of the Roxy Floss Co. floss 😊 I’ve decided to just go with my usual Danish style stitching and own the stripes of color. If it’s consistent, I think it’ll look neat in the end

#crossstitch #foresthome #theblueflowerstitching

Since I recently had a finish, I’m down to two WIPs. One is my #motifaweek piece and the other is Forest Home. So I’m ready to focus on this old friend for a while 🌳🌲💚 My plan is to stitch on this almost monogamously until #LifeOfPiSAL starts on 3/14

#crossstitch #foresthome #theblueflowerstitching

I’ve finished Array No. 1 🙌🏻 Such a great stitch! Solving the stitch path of each block felt like an accomplishment. The colors are so bright and bold ✨10/10 would recommend

Pattern: Array No. 1
Designer: Shaded Stitchery
Fabric: 18ct Sand Dollar Aida Bestitch Me
Floss: Pirate Robin conversion

If you like the game of finding optimal stitch paths, you’d love this piece. Only ~300 more stitches 😁 maybe one more evening of stitching!

#crossstitch #shadedstitchery #arrayno1

This sneaky little orange snake had a lot more stitches in it than you’d expect! We’ve made it to the last block 🙌🏻

#crossstitch #shadedstitchery #arrayno1

we’re closing in on the final block! less than 1k stitches left ✨

#crossstitch #shadedstitchery #arrayno1

Thank you! 😊

I finished another block on Array No. 1 today. Honestly this is the best travel stitch you could ask for—once you know the block you can put your pattern away and just go. Got lots of good stitchy time in on my flights today

#crossstitch #shadedstitchery #arrayno1

finished my Valentine’s project! I haven’t settled on how I want to FFO this yet, but I have until Friday to sort that out 💖🖤

one more tree in the forest for #motifaweek 🌲

#andaforestgrewsal #andaforestgrew #rosewoodmanor

Ok, I think I see what happened here—pretty sure 315 and 316 are swapped. Lesson learned: If your floss stash is thrifted, find a way to double check colors before you stitch

I’m almost 100% sure that bobbin of 316 is mislabeled or ild enough that the dye lot is significantly darker. It’s just not looking right 😕 I reeeeeally don’t want to frog it, so I might just see how it goes

#crossstitch #stitchsprout #rotwithme

I’m determined not to stitch any of the pink until the end 🖤💖
