Lots of cross stitch and needle arts peeps following lately, hello! Welcome!

My content is all over the place (thanks ADHD) and stitching specific stuff may be few & far between.
I’m also a firehose of boosted randomness, there’s no shame or shade if you need to unfollow 💜

Fluffy gray tabby giving himself a bath on a white floral blanket atop some uneven pillows. It looks like he’s covering his eyes with his paws for a nap, but his tongue is out in a glorious blep.

starting to get ideas for block prints that would make good shirts (& maybe bags?)

but getting a bit nervous. if you screw up a t-shirt you can't just throw it away like a piece of paper.

any advice from experienced printers?
