Check out these adorable pendants from Etsy seller Quid
Aren’t they gorgeous! I was almost tempted to not show you all so I could get them for myself. But how could I deprive you all!
I love those little frames. I’m going to try and track down some for me. If anyone knows [...]
It’s Friday Fun time again! Me thinks this is gonna become a regular thing. Especially as it’s getting colder and I’m cuddled up on the couch wrapped in blankets!
So today I’m going to show you some nerdy stitch fun.
I often say to people who wonder why I’m convinced that cross stitch is cool that cross stitch is just like pixel art, just heaps slower.
So I loved it when I found this one:
The new version of the “I sublimate my rage…” cross stitch is progressing. I’ve got a lot left to do, but here’s a sneak peek:
On Wednesday Kevin Rudd apologised on behalf of the Australian Commonwealth Government to the Aboriginal People for the policy of enforced removal of Aboriginal children from their families. This was a policy with the intention of breeding out Aboriginal People and saw more than 50,000 children removed from their families. In some cases, [...]

We have to excuse the pics because apparently the only camera Johanna has is on her mobile. Goodness do you think we should all pitch in a and get her a proper camera? These are such great pieces of work I think [...]
Well given that Kevin Rudd is actually saying Sorry this week, I figured I really should get around to putting my Sorry cross stitch kit online. I put this together a couple of months ago but I have been struggling getting photos together and the time to do it.
So presenting the Sorry Cross Stitch [...]
I made this tshirt with the intention of putting it online to sell. But you were TOO SLOW! And instead I sold it at the Craft Cartel Market the other night (which went off again, pictures soon). And even better I sold it to someone I know! Yeah!
So I found this font [...]
I can’t believe I haven’t seen these before but this guy called Craig Robinson at flipflopflyin.com (check out the dancing owls. Seriously.) does these wee pixel portraits of celebrities called minipops. There’s thousands of them. They even have their own book apparently.
This is The Datsuns in all their minipop glory
Awww, ain’t they cute?
So [...]
I know you all love this time of the year. Luckily for us Julie at Subversive Cross Stitch has paired up with animator Natalie Dee to create these truly awesome Valentines doilies for you all to cross stitch.
Personally the ‘thank god..’ one is my favourite. I think every woman has spent a Valentines [...]
I’m sorry I’ve been a bit slack on sharing all my handmade christmas stories with you all. So just to drag it out even more, I’m going to do it in pieces.
This pillow was a present for Tara made by my partner’s stepmum, otherwise known as Pen Pen. It’s beautifully stitched and it must have [...]
Lately the saying ‘one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter’ has been coming to mind a fair bit. Ignoring the gender stupidity of that statement, I finally got motivated to make something in that vein. Actually I made this a little while ago but haven’t gotten around to posting this until now.
So [...]
OK here’s a pattern for you die-hard bogans. It’s a wee bit of work but if you start with black fabric it would dramatically reduce the amount of work to do and it will look very, very cool.
This came from obsolete on the craftster forums and I think it is so way cool. It [...]
This is the one you’ve all been waiting for! Yip, it’s the next cross stitch kit!
A cross stitch I made of a quote from Bitterstitch.com. I’m considering if I should add something more, like a border or something, but I’m not sure. I’m pretty restless at the moment, so we’ll see if I’ll ever do it or just move on to some of the projects I have in mind…
Hello everyone
I hope those of you who allow christmas into your lives had a wonderful day. I hope those of you who don’t also had a wonderful day celebrating the end of all that annoying music for another year.
We had a super day with lots of great presents including some super handmade presents which [...]
Finally after much fussin around and technological crises and a short swim in the toilet, I finally have a cross stitch kit online!
I’ve got three ready for sale and they made their very successful debut at the Melbourne Craft Mafia Market.
So the first one online is the Water Saving Cross Stitch Kit. When it’s [...]
It’s the latest piece of gold from Cross Yr Stitches. Don’t ya just love it! It’s a Pat Robertson quote. And looks quite beautiful as a cross stitch if you ask me. Not sure how big it is but it would look pretty cool on a jacket I reckon.
Goodness, it keeps [...]
Why did it take me so long to get around to this?
Here’s my favourites from the recent Craftster feminist swap. You can see them all here. You can see my contribution here.
But on to my favourites!
When I design my cross stitches I love to look in old sampler books for inspiration, and I want to share a veritable treasure of samplers I found a while ago: Antique pattern library. Loads and loads of beautiful old patterns, scanned and made into PDF files, free to download! And there’s not only patterns [...]
