I have very painful joints and expect to get formally diagnosed with arthritis tomorrow. I love cross stitching, but my god does it make my hands hurt. I also work in IT, so my hands are in use all day for my job. I want to be able to craft after work to relax, but my hands just hurt and cramp immediately when I try to work on a...
Finishing up the tree before the rain rain rain falls down down down. Getting close...
Working on finishing Yubaba's son (in his mouse form)! He looks a bit like a zombie mouse right now, but that will change once I finish the eyes lol
No WIP Wednesday for me this week because I have a finish for now! I love how this turned out! I plan on stitching several more cities from this shop and then ideally frame them all the same. So, on to the next project until its time to FFO this....
I hate this cheap black floss I got from Walmart when I first started. I got a bulk amount so I'm trying to just work through it but it catches on everything and feels terrible. This pattern calls for two threads for some of the backstitching but I ended up using one and running it twice because of how terrible the thread is.
After a little over a year of stitching now I still feel like a bit of a noob, but I'm pretty comfortable with the basics. These parts of patterns still give me some problems though!...
I got behind due to a lot of stuff going on in my life, but I managed to make some progress still! Sadly because I've been working on it here and there I had some mistakes that resulted in me having to frog a bunch of stitches to get back on track, but it's looking good now!
It's still half in the qsnap here so it wouldn't lay flat. If all goes to plan I think it will be finished in a couple of weeks. 2 over 1 on 18 count....

I’m getting so close to the bottom of the pattern! There’s only about 20 more rows under the gazebo....
I did not realize how many fiddly little parts there were to this one lol I think No-Face and Haku should go a bit faster once I get to them though!
Here’s the pattern! I have a LONG way to go lol
Not as impressive as @DrPop but I am very happy to have completed my first full coverage piece.
Before anyone ask I’m not planning on doing the dark world anytime soon. This project was one of the first I started and after many breaks and other projects I finally laid the final stitch. Now to clean and dry then frame it.
I hope to finish this one by tomorrow night!
I can’t put this down. I’m having so much fun stitching this. The halfway point is the top of the duck’s head. I’m so close to halfway!...
I’m still alive, still stitching. I took a break, or more like World of Warcraft dragged me away. I lost my character after 50 hours of playtime and I uninstalled windows. My mental health dramatically improved when screen time went down. Especially because I started stitching again....
First time doing an odd shaped fabric thingy, so the edges aren’t too great. Plus, didn’t figure out a better method of punching around the outlines til close to the end…Meh, still makes us all giggle like school children, heh....
Hi All! Sorry I missed the last couple of weeks. Life got in the way a bit. This is really only like a week and a half of progress. I had a week of basically no stitching time. I am so close to the halfway point! 2 over 1 on 18 count....
It’s been a while since I posted. Nearly do e just the desert left.
Where do I begin to even see if I’m interested?
