Remember this awesome embroidery pattern? Well, not everyone embroiders, so I thought I'd do something for all the cross stitchers and other grid pattern lovers out there.
The pattern is available on Etsy and Craftsy.
Bold and majestic this rampant unicorn rears up onto his back legs ready to face whatever foe challenges him. With a white body and gleaming golden hooves mane and tail, he would look amazing with a little bit of metallic thread mixed in.

This unique Easter egg design started out as a peaceful ocean with rhythmic waves. Then, slowly, the ocean became deeper and more interesting. Next came the sky, pale and misty as though the morning clouds are finally thinning and the sun is just beginning to shine through.
Still it wasn't done. This egg needed something to make it special. I thought of pirate ships or sea monsters. I even thought of islands and whales. In the end, what the egg wanted was a beautiful white dove as the classic emblem of peace with an olive branch clasped in her beak. Once it was done I sat back and saw that I had created Noah's dove flying across the receding floodwaters. This design might make an interesting Easter decoration or a lovely Biblical-themed gift. At only 5x7 inches, this design won't be a huge commitment and most people could probably finish it within 40 days and 40 nights. As usual,you can find this pattern on Etsy and Craftsy. By the way, in case you were wondering what happened to last week's post, I had t-ball season start up, plus a handful of kids' birthday parties (one of which I was hosting). I love someone who is autistic. With 1 out of every 88 children being diagnosed with autism, many of us love someone with autism. In that spirit, I designed this puzzle piece heart stitched in multiple colors as a way to express love and compassion for those living in the spectrum.
After designing a hand embroidery pattern of a similar design, I received requests to make it in a cross stitch pattern as well. So for all the cross stitchers out there, this is for you! Not every puzzle piece is the same. In fact they are all unique. This tiny pattern will stitch up quickly for an excellent gift in time for Christmas. With a simple color scheme, it's easy to swap out the colors for ones you like better. The pattern size is about 4.5" x 4" on 14 count Aida. 62 x 57 stitches It's in both my Craftsy and Etsy shops It's the third Monday of the month which means it's time for a new Cross Stitch Pattern! This month's offering is in anticipation of one of my favorite holidays! I can't wait for crisp autumn air and pumpkin flavored everything. I'm making costumes for my kids and thinking about the fun we'll have trick or treating.
Early enough for a savvy stitcher to make for Halloween, this adorable little witch is sailing through the night sky on her broom. Undoubtedly she has mischief in mind. Measuring 5.86" x 5.93" on 14 count Aida (82 x 83 stitches), you can use smaller weaves to make her even tinier. She's listed on Craftsy as well as Etsy. Enjoy! My next embroidery pattern will be published on Monday 7 October! It's the third Monday of the month, so that means it's time for a new cross stitch pattern. This month's offering is decidedly Irish in flavor. She's a medieval Celtic maiden wearing a lush green gown with trumpet sleeves and golden trim. A quaternary (four cornered) knot guards each corner of the pattern, each intertwined with flowering vines. So there are four corners in each of the four corners...heh heh!
There are several recognized meanings behind the quaternary knot. Pick the one that suits you:
