Four images in a grid. The first one is white text on a black background saying "Current Patreon Patterns". The second is of a cross stitch on black aida of a cat sitting in front of a grave stone. Atop the gravestone is a purple witch's hat and a large full moon shines behind them. The cross stitch is surrounded by fake purple flowers and black stones. The third is of a cross stitch on black aida of three rows of pumpkins carved with different expressions. The top row of pumpkins are grey, the middle are yellow, and the last are orange. The cross stitch is surrounded by fall coloured leaves. The last is of a cross stitch on black aida of a fish in an hourglass. The fish is whole in the top of the hourglass, and is a skeleton in the bottom of the hourglass. The hourglass has the phases of the moon carved on the top and bottom. The cross stitch is surrounded by small yellow semi-translucent rocks.

This took FOREVERRRRRR. Or y'know, something like 150 hours to stitch. I started back in Feb and have been working it in the background while stitching all the other designs I've released this year. 😅

Something I've been wanting to do for a whiiile. It's a book tracker! But with quilt squares!
A cross stitch of a bunch of different quilt squares, each one denoting a book I read this year. What my cross stitch quilt would've looked like if I hadn't used the colors from the book covers.

Light rays instantly make everything 100x more cozy!

Pixel art of a bike leaning against a shed near a small garden with a silhouette of a forest visible in the background. The purple bike leans against a small blue shed with a white roof. On the roof is a solar panel. The ground is covered in clover with a small dirt path, and purple wild flowers can be seen growing nearby. The garden has a small white wooden raised bed. In the garden, we see tomato plants on the left, surrounded by marigolds. On the right, we see corn growing tall, with beans wrapped around them, and squash growing at their base. Light rays can be seen coming down from the top right of the scene.
