New “bookmark” is finished although this has to be a type of coffee table book placeholder because it’s so much wider than I expected it to be…. Maybe even cute as a wall hanging! 😆 It’s still so cute and I love how it turned out just surprised😊 #cross-stitch #artsky #needlepoint #XStitch #art

These came out so much better than I expected them too😁🥰 #LOTR #crossstitch #bookmark #craftsky #artsandcrafts #needlepoint #backstitch
5 cross stitch bookmarks, from left to right - the Doors of Durin (with lots of blues and greens and 4 little crystal tentacles at the bottom of the bookmark), a Hobbit hole house with a tree set behind the mound (with primarily greens and yellows), the Eye of Sauron with little figures hiking in front of it and a volcano erupting behind it (mostly reds and greys and some blues) , Gandalf next to a tree with big brown roots and pink flowers on the ground as he’s walking down a pathway leading to a little hobbit hole in the distance higher up on the bookmark (which has mostly greens everywhere with some brown and a little pink for the flowers and grey for gandolf) , and the final bookmark is Bilbo in Smaug’s hoard of gold inside his lair (consisting of lots of yellows and oranges and some blacks with a close up of Smaug’s eye and scales and then the gold everywhere at the bottom of the bookmark and Bilbo standing on top of the gold staring back at Smaug). Overall took me a few weeks to stitch, backstitch, wash, and felt the backs!

4th & final seasonal bird bookmark is complete! So glad to fully finish off this set of bookmarks. I started these in the background of my tiger xstitch last year and have slowly been working through them. Feels like such a breath of fresh air to finish them and know I can start something new!
A simplistic bookmark designed with 2 crossstitch eastern bluebirds sitting on some brown branches with green leaves and yellow flowers, as well as little orange [buds maybe? Honestly not really sure what they are but they are pretty] sticking off the branches too. The edges of the white aida cloth are fringed. The entire bookmark is sitting on top of the paper pattern I used to blueprint the design out while stitching it. Entirety bookmark took 3 days of on and off stitching in total but I started it months ago and only just now got back around to finishing it. This completion marks the end of my 4 seasons bookmark collection I’ve been stitching for my mother. I’ll definitely be doing this design again atleast once to give myself a set and I already know of a few friends that really liked the designs so….

This is what I chose for the framing design (Michaels) so now it’s just waiting until the framing team gives it back to me 😁 I can’t wait to see how it looks fully finished!! #cross-stitch #xstich #craftsky #Finished #frame #art #tiger
My completed tiger cross stitch (plus embroidered whiskers on top) on a black counter with the bottom right corner of the piece up against the sample frames (from Michael’s frame team department who helped me pick them out) of the final design decision - a purple border of a quarter inch showing area into a light grey border with about another quarter showing, tiny bit more, then a blue border colour with a lot more space to end the colour borders and pull the eye into the tigers face. Then sitting on top of the colour samples are the two frames I chose, a white plain half inch wooden frame and then a golden half inch frame stacked on the outer edge of the white one to give the final touch, match the golds of the tiger, and the design of the gold frame reminds me of an old cage’s bamboo like wood which I think fits the piece perfectly. Now I just wait for the project to be completed by Michael’s and for the phone call to go pick it up!!! I can’t wait 😁🤍

Just realized I never posted the finished photo of it!! Ended it exactly one year later down to the same week 😁 so proud of myself to pushing through this baby so fast - it looks almost 3D!! He’s a beauty and I can’t wait to see my mom’s reaction when I give her this in September 😁🥰 #cross-stitch
A completed cross stitch of a tiger’s face with red, pink, blue, orange, and purple flowers surrounding his face and whiskers embroidered on top coming from his muzzle. The edges feature colourful paint style drips in the cross stitching that brings the whole image together and ends with a grey and white border.

Tiger update!! Getting close to finishing the 5th square of this pattern!! (5 out of 8). It’s starting to look soooo real I love it. Month 8 of working on this cross stitch!!
A very large cross stitch work in progress of a tiger, the full right side of his face is complete and the upper left part of his ear and face are almost complete. Lots of browns, golds, blacks, yellows, greys, whites, and a couple pink threads all making it up. Theres also a rainbow needle minder holding my needle for the project which says “pride” with different pride flags making up each letter 🤍🌈🤍

Finished my pixel galaxy bookmark from Pixyls in Canada, I’ve got in in my current read atm (The Ragged Edge of Night by Olivia Hawker) and the best part is that it comes with a protective sleeve to hold the bookmark in to make sure the stickers don’t get pushed or caught on a page and displaced!!😄
It’s a colourful, galaxy themed bookmark made from paint by sticker squares that stick on back to back to make pixel art together

Spent my day working on this pixel paint by sticker Tiger Lily acrylic stand from one of my favorite companies, Pixyls. They are in Canada and even though the packages take a little bit to get here, I adore their content and unique, intricate designs their creators are constantly designing😍😁
A 3D acrylic stand of a tiger lily that is made up of little square shaped pixels that colour in the entire lily with oranges, yellows, greens, and a few reds here and there. (The stand is sitting on my desk next to a GamerSupps shaker cup of water)

Did this cross-stitch bookmark in two nights, peepin one of my new needle minders from my friend over at feistykoalacrafts on Etsy. This is 3/4 seasonal bookmarks completed now! All that’s left is spring 😍
A cross-stitch bookmark of 2 chickadees sitting on some berry branches with orange leaves changing colour around them and red berries on the branches and some brown acorns all around. There’s also black swirls and vein outlines on the leaves in black thread embroidered ontop of the cross-stitching. There’s a border of frayed Aida lining the outside of the bookmark’s edges. On the left of the bookmark is the pattern layout on paper (from Herschners) and to the right is a rainbow P R I D E magnetic needle minder with each letter made of the colours of different sexuality flags.

Anybody else been having severe nightmares waking them up all night every night? Just my partner and me? Well anyways, it’s giving me lots of time to cross stitch! Update to the WIP 😅😁

Visited my parents and got this photo of the phenomenal sunset across the snow😍

Finished square 3 out of 8 on my big tiger cross stitch tonight!! Making great progress, even with taking a 2 week creative break from this project, and it feels great to be back making progress on it 😁
A close up photo of a colourful cross stitch of pink and orange flowers and you can see the edge of a tiger’s muzzle and a few embroidered whiskers across the flowers. There’s also a lot of blue and white and grey stitches around the flowers to create a background out to an even edge line that will eventually be a rectangle. A farther back photo of a large work in progress cross stitch of a tiger’s face surrounded by pink and orange flowers and a white and grey background. The tiger is made of blacks, greys, whites, golds, and there are grey and white whiskers embroidered on top of his muzzle.

Changing it up for the evening, spending it with my serenity knitting loom and some (currently) light blue yarn 😁🧶
