Robin on the Orange Roses – our new cross stitch pattern, created as a custom order. Some weeks ago, our customer asked if we could create a pattern for her. It was supposed to be a robin on an orange roses. She needs this pattern to cross-stitch a gift to her friend in memory of her mother. And these two symbols – a robin and an orange rose – are essential to her. So we have this new pattern with a 15%sale in StittchersLand: https://stitchersland.etsy.com/listing/1669868410
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
Yes, it was. When I attended school, I collected stamps. I remember having a couple of big albums with a lovely collection of butterflies and probably many other themed collections. I remember marvelling at every stamp I acquired, whether I bought it or got it from an envelope. In the meantime, I met a well-known philatelist in our town, who let me look at his extensive collection. And I remember the delight that accompanied me. But I absolutely do not remember what happened to my stamps later. I think I gave them to someone when I left my home for University to suty in any case, I hope someone else also enjoyed my stamps and looked through them more then once in silence and admiration. Sometimes, I wish I had them with me now.
There is still enough time to start and finish winter stitching. So this is our preposition for cross stitchers: snow, birds from our side, a cup of tea or coffee from your side. As a result, you’ll get a beautiful winter picture to decorate the home.
Or maybe you like small birds in winter? We have such kinds of patterns for you too.
The 4th part of Durene Jones Fun Fantasy Cars Sal is ready and it is a Strawberry Car. Bright and funny, it makes you smile like all this project, isn’t it?
I really don’t like french knots, but when I see how they bring alive the embroidery…well, I guess I’m wrong. This is a bush before and after adding them.
The last part of Woodland Sal by Durene Jones pattern, organised by Lakesideneedlcraft is ready and it was sweet Hedgehog 🦔. There are two pictures in order to show how backstitch brings stitching to life.

This post is not accidental, because one of my works – Irys – received two awards. I am very grateful to the organizers of this competition, who gave me the opportunity to see a lot of beautiful works, which you can see by following the link below. In addition, I would like to thank the talented painter Oksana Gatalskaja , the author of this beautiful Irys, according to which the designer Anna Kuznietsova made the pattern. Thank you!
Happy me 🙂
I stitched a lot of Lucie Heaton www.lucieheaton.com mice, but this is one of my favourite.
Peronalized postcard from Flowers of the Month series – Marigold. It was difficult to stitch due to the backstitch, but the card was worth it.
