Finished one of my current cross stitch projects last week, and finally got a photo in good light!
Carolyn Manning's Valkyrie, Shooting Star Collection 🪡
13 5/8 inches square, 3 strands DMC on 14 count aida
Full coverage cross stitch on bright orange aida. The colors are primarily golds, greens, and browns, with purples for accent. The pattern uses diamonds and triangles to form a geometric quilt pattern or kaleidoscope pattern effect.

Weekend book haul, and some photos from Ha Ha Tonka. It was a great weekend!
Stack of new books, featuring Parable of the Sower, Erasing History, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza, Weyward, James, and I Cheerfully Refuse Interesting rock formation, looking like a big boulder atop a smaller boulder on the edge of a cliff. Rocks are surrounded by greenery from tree branches Columbine in a dappled clearing surrounded by greenery. Flowers are cone shaped and coral colored for most of the cone, ending in a yellow flare. A view from the cliff. We are looking down a bit and out, looking at the side of the cliff, which is full of greenery, and down on the lake, which is reflecting the blue sky and white clouds

Finished cross stitching the pterosaur from @bobblingoblin.bsky.social ! 🪡
A cross stitched plushie pterosaur with bright green body and a purple belly and wing membrane. It is flying above mountains, evergreens, and a body of water with an orange sea serpent. The sky behind the pterosaur is sunset colors fading from yellow at the horizon to a deep purple at the top, with small pale pink clouds.

Reached 20%! I've been needing an easy relaxing cross stitch lately
🪡 Valkyrie by Carolyn Manning
The first few completed rows of a full coverage cross stitch. The pattern is diamonds and triangles making a pattern reminiscent of a kaleidoscope or patchwork quilt. The stitched shapes are in shades of browns, gold, and greens with pops of pale lavender on aida that is traffic cone orange (it looks nicer than that makes it sound, I promise).

Cross stitch finish! 🪡 Plants and Petrichor SAL from Fine Frog Stitching. I really enjoyed this one, it was relaxing
A cross stitched cozy room scene on a stormy blue fabric, featuring a window with raindrops in the center. On the left side are two shelves with candles, frames, a bust of a woman, and potted plants. The pothos is trailing across the window. To the right side are a still life painting and two shelves with an incense burner, books, a cactus, and some rooting jars. Under the window is a bench with blankets, a pillow, and a black cat. A steaming mug and a stack of books sit in the windowsill.

Yggdrasil, from 2x2StitchArt in custom colors. It took me a while, but I absolutely love the result!
A cross stitched rendering of Yggdrasil, stitched in various shades of green and brown on an old parchment colored piece of fabric. The pattern features a symmetrical tree forming a circular motif in a Norse style, surrounded by a series of stitched frames forming a square around the tree. Some of the frames are thin and straight, and some form twists or knot patterns.
