And I also finished up July's #Stitch4Pride #crossstitch recently! A little late because I ran out of floss, oops. I used Classic Colorworks' Holly Berry for this month, which was about Amelio Robles Avila 🏳️‍⚧️

Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Mini Beans Chococat~ Between him, a couple items coming from Japan, and my local con next month, I think I'll be able to fill out the ita bag nicely!

I decided to join in the Way of the Waterfall SAL that @manda-infinitybear.bsky.social has going this month, it was too cute not to! This is part one's finish 🐠

(I'm just using whatever similar colors I had in stash, but I think they're working out well so far!)

It's hard to believe I'm halfway through this #crossstitch project (and the year), but here's June's #Stitch4Pride finish! I used Rosy Glow from Classic Colorworks, I love how it turned out for this pattern.

Happy Pride, everyone, and remember to keep celebrating our community past and present 🏳️‍🌈

May's #Stitch4Pride finish, the pattern representing Chevaliere d'Eon! I used Classic Colorworks' Nature Trail for this one and I really like how it turned out. #crossstitch

April's addition to my #Stitch4Pride #crossstitch ~ I swear I finish these before the end of the month, I just keep procrastinating posting them! But anyway, I used Classic Colorworks' Sunflower for this one and I think it came out really pretty, especially in person~

Went to the Warriors graphic novel signing today and I'm still in absolute shock that I won the raffle for the Longtail drawing??? I love himmm ❤️🐈 It's so cool to have a one of a kind piece of art like this, I can't wait to find a frame so I can hang it up properly!

Before and after of this tiny #Chococat I restored recently! He got a bath, new whiskers, new stuffing, and @caitlinbirdart.bsky.social removed the remnants of his tags and stitched him back up for me 🖤

He's the 2008 #BuildABear mini, so he's 17 years old! I'm glad I can welcome him to a new home!!

March's #Stitch4Pride #crossstitch design, using Classic Colorworks' Wild Berries~ I really loved reading/hearing some of Qiu Jin's poetry, it's been beautifully translated and I'll definitely pick up The Lantern and the Night Moths soon to experience more of it ❤️

Pattern is by Dee's 20 Stitches

February's #Stitch4Pride2025 finished~ I used Classic Colorworks' Really Teally for this one and I really love it. Can't wait to see what next month's design will be! #crossstitch

Went to the Hello Kitty Cafe truck this weekend and the weather was miserable but it was absolutely worth it!! I got the patches and the cold cup ornament 🖤 And then took Chococat to get a new outfit as an apology for making him get rained on! #sanrio #hellokitty #hellokittycafe

It's a very Chococat week for me--got him to best friend in HKIA yesterday and then got his Build-A-Bear in the mail this morning!! I can't wait to get him stuffed this weekend and then take him along when we go to the Hello Kitty cafe truck 🖤

I went to a doll show for the first time last weekend and found so many great things!! Finally getting around to posting pictures now that I'm getting them cleaned up~ First up is this complete 1993 Holiday Barbie, who I pieced together from two different dolls for just $13 ❤️ #dollcollector #dollsky

Realized I forgot to post my January Stitch4Pride finish~ Also meet Oreo, who decided he wanted to be in the picture and I couldn't say no!

I'm using Picture This Plus' Relic Belfast linen, and Classic Colorworks' Blueberry Tart. Pattern by Dee's 20 Stitches. #crossstitch #Stitch4Pride2025

I haven't had a Chococat plush in many years, only smaller merch, but I'm hoping to start building a small intentional collection of things!

Here's the plush I had as a kid, who I remember fondly but also I never liked the parachute material he was made of, so I don't think I'll be reacquiring him

I'm so excited for Hello Kitty Island Adventure!! I got a cute little Chococat to keep me company~ <3 <3

A new kitty joining my Little Pretty collection~ This is the second release of Rosebud, and I actually received both her and the Frosta she was originally packaged with as a gift from my partner. I'm glad the two of them got to stay together all these years! #vintagetoys #90s #90stoys

Happy birthday Mika!! 🎉🎂🎁

I did 30 scouts and didn't get anything exciting, but his featured scout is in a few days so I don't mind! I'm just happy to enjoy one of his birthday events for the first time~ I discovered enstars towards the beginning of this year, so it's been a long wait! #enstars

Just finished this unexpectedly charming little book from the 90s! I picked it up at the thrift store because cats and because the blurb on the back made me laugh, but it was actually a sweet little excursion into a genre I've never explored 📚💙

Not exactly seasonal, but I was sprucing up my Lady Lovely Locks collection today and thought I should take a picture of my Enchanted Island dolls all together! I finally got Maiden Misty Curls a couple months ago and I'm so happy to have her~ #dollsky #dollcollector #80s #LadyLovelyLocks
