It’s been a hot minute Instagram. I was busy! Between Aug-Dec my husband was in Germany while I held down the fort in Japan. Then we all moved to Frankfurt 🇩🇪 in January. We’re finally getting settled in and enjoying our new home for the next 3-5 years. I took this weekend to revamp the website, it’s a lot more mobile friendly 😊 I also finished a new free pattern featuring Bette Davis Eyes 👀 if you like the actress or the 80s jam check it out! Hoping to post more patterns and tutorials in 2022. Also featured is my new start, a pattern from #stitchidees featuring rapunzel. I’m doing the piece with some gorgeous silk threads hand dyed by #xjudesigns . #freecrossstitchpattern #newcrossstitch #silkthread

Was hoping to get the #yellowsubmarine done for #wipsbegone2021 but I think I’m about stitched out on it for now. Got a lot done at least! This awesome pattern is from #blackbirddesigns and was one of the first cross stitch purchases I made years ago 🙊. Maybe I’ll finish it before I turn 40? Time for some more dedicated October stitching now! #crossstitchersofinstagram #wipprogress

So what did I do right before I saw this #wipsbegone2021 ? I started 3 new patterns 🤦‍♀️. Guess they’ll get added to the list! I’ve started so many new projects this year, and I really need to finish some before they get packed up. I have a few crochet projects to work on as well, like a sweater that still doesn’t have any sleeves...#newwip #crossstitch #monochromaticstitching

Been in a mood recently and this #gothcrossstitch has been relaxing. This is one of @screamingheartxstitch four squares of the apocalypse. This is plague, a gorgeous geometric design with four skulls in each corner. Stitching it in cosmo seasons 9019 for super variegation. #variagatedfloss #xstitchersofinstagram #crossstitchersofinstagram #blackaida #halloweencrossstitch

I finished! I actually finished #lovebirdssal by @anacaguayo last week but we had nonstop rain and I couldn’t get enough light for a nice picture of such a gorgeous piece! This is one of my proudest finishes. The border took weeks to get the variegated effect, but the birds stitched up quicker. Gorgeous threads are from @tometlilycreations , I used lazuli, lilac, mermaid, and carabie from the blue/purple thread pack. The fabric is 14 count carnival by #picturethisplus . Will not be framing yet due to upcoming move but can’t wait to hang it in our new apartment in Frankfurt! Also pictured is my progress on my black Philip piece. #crossstitch #crossstitchfinish #handdyedthreads #stitchersofinstagram #xstitch #variegatedfloss

Slowly making my way through this sucky summer. Increase in covid here in Japan has been stressful for all. I can’t wait till I can FINALLY get my vaccine in a week! The bright colors in my #lovebirdssal has been helping. Border is complete and 4 corner birds are stitched. Thank you again @anacaguayo for such a beautiful pattern, it’s been helping me a lot during this time! My favorite variegation came from the top left bird so I included a close up 😉 #crossstitch #stitchersofinstagram #handdyedthreads
