y'all have @vistaprint.bsky.social alternatives? this is the second package I've had arrive damaged and I don't trust their logistics and shipping anymore
a damaged shipping box that looks like it was squashed during transit a circular blue sticker with a significant crease in the middle a vinyl banner with information about stitch bound that has many vertical creases. it's subtle in the light, but it almost looks like it was accordion folded

One of the big projects I designed while I was MIA was my Matisse collection! These two are becoming cross stitch kits that I'll have at markets ✨ #crossstitch #stitchsky

manifesting animal crossing at launch even though we all know the chances of that are near zero if not ACTUALLY zero
A photo of an apartment living room with the Nintendo direct pulled up on the TV. A cross stitch WIP of Isabelle from Animal Crossing is on a workstand in the foreground and out of focus.

happy pokemon day 🎉 a Flareon cross stitch kit is what got me into the hobby EIGHT years ago (!!!) so Pokemon projects have a very special place in my heart, especially when I make them as prizes for GDQ 🤍

my new filming setup came early so we're experimenting with time lapses again 💅 do you prefer the slower speed (this post) or the faster (next post)?

btw, I'm aware that the shadows lead to a bit of flashing and am trying to find a solution!

when you forget to take a photo outside of insta stories so you don't have a clean version 😔 but the full version of my consignment stand is up and going! with space for one more stitch kit!
A bookshelf full of cross stitch kits, finished cross stitch hoops, needle minders, and a few punch needle hoops. Some of the designs include the progress rainbow and transgender pride flags, Calcifer and Totoro, and some floral designs. There is a Stitchbound vinyl banner zip tied at the top. an Instagram story caption in the middle of the photo reads "finally got my banner in and we're ROLLING 👏"

I have finally, FINALLY figured out how to make my PDFs with WinStitch *and* still customize it with my footer and additional pages of info. I'm so damn pleased and can't wait to finally get these patterns updated! #crossstitch #crossstitchdesign
A picture of the bottom half of a computer monitor. A PDF of a cross stitch pattern is on the screen, and there are two orange sticky notes on the bottom of the monitor. in front of the monitor is a Monster's Inc novelty mug.

I think I'm gonna move all of my fan patterns to Ko-fi & make them free + pay what you want. Before Etsy got on my case about fan patterns (which I'm still so mad about when other shops get away with it), they were my bestsellers. So making them free feels weird when I sell my original designs.

My pants caught on one of my dresser pulls and gave me a wildly convenient placement to try customizing my jeans 🥲 I'm debating between floral and celestial elements!!
A pair of midwash blue jeans folded in half. there's a small quarter-sized rip about 6 inches below the pocket close to the side seam

I tried converting images in WinStitch and had a terrible time, so we've started the long process of recreating each cross stitch pattern pixel by pixel 🫠

Going through the smaller collections before I tackle the daunting tasks that are the ACNH villagers and Pokemon Gen 1 patterns...
A picture of one of Shannen's monitors with two windows open. One is open to a StitchFiddle folder in Animal Crossing cross stitch designs, and the other is a WinStitch window open to an Animal Crossing DIY recipe cross stitch design.
