I decided to use up some of my embroidery stash by finding patterns and kitting them out myself. I rather enjoy doing it this way.
Some years back, I inherited several skeins of floss. As I was sorting the floss, I thought there might be some I could use. I noticed something so nostalgic that it made my heart smile. The prices on the floss were 3/10¢, 5¢, 12¢. Ahhh, the good-old-days. 🧵🪡
I looked through my patterns in hopes of finding one I had all the floss required. I found two that I couldn’t choose between, so I kitted them both out.

The stitching mood hits.

I immediately liked “Snowball Glass by Maria Brovko” cross stitch pattern when I saw it way back in 2020. The big bonus was it was free.
I think “Flower Winter Bird Cross Stich by nathnolu ” is so charming. It was easy to find the pattern for sale.
Now when the mood hits to cross stitch, I’m ready for it. I wonder how long it’ll take me. Years perhaps or sooner. I never know about me.😁
Wishing you all good moods and happy crafting.
Well done for getting these lovely designs kitted up. Come on, thread that needle and make a start on one or the other. You know you want to 😁

Thanks so much Claire,
I’ve been tempted to do just that. Unfortunately, there’s some things going on and I can’t focus on stitching right now.
Have a pleasant rest of the week. ☺️
