I love to watch the Robins in the local park. They are very bold birds for their size and quick too. You have to be really watching out for a flash of red to see them.

Come Out Come Out, whoever you are, Rainbow text

 Come Out Come Out, whoever you are, Rainbow text for pride month

Hello everyone, 

Its been a while but here is a rainbow coloured design for pride month. 

The phrase is a slightly changed version of 'Come out, Come out wherever you are' which is a phrase children will say when trying to find their friends during a game of hide and seek. 

This phrase is intended to be a fun way to show that nobody should feel the need to hide their true selves. Isn't life more fun and interesting when everyone can be their unique selves? Lets all be kind and inclusive. :)

I am hoping to do another version of this phrase with a more detailed border soon when I think of a good idea for it.

Hello everyone,
Today I have a fun yellow digger cross stitch design, this bold design will be fun for construction vehicle mad kids to decorate their rooms or make them a fun squishy cushion. You don't need to stick exactly to these thread numbers if you'd like to include the childs favourite colour as the main vehicle colour. Just be sure to change up the orange highlights to a colour that complements the one you chose. 

Much love and happy stitching

Hello Everyone, 

On one of my favourite cross stitch Facebook groups a great conversation started about this design idea. So I cannot take credit for the Stabulous phrase but I ran with it and created this design. 

I have charted this up in all regular DMC but if you are feeling brave you could use a few metallic colours on the sparkles. Some seed beads in the center of the sparkles or dotted throughout the hair would also add a magical touch. I will leave these choices up to the stitcher as I know some people find metallic thread and beads fiddily. Plus you can customize the design as you fee fit, Be creative and see what you come up with. 

Much Love and happy stitching.

Reindeer heart cross stitch design for a large Christmas card

Reindeer heart cross stitch design for a large Christmas card

Inspiration for this design came from this picture in the public domain:

Hello Everyone, 

A few of my friends and I like to make a start on our Christmas cards in January while we are still feeling inspired from Christmas. So for fellow early Christmas card creators heres a lovely reindeer design. Since this design is only one colour it will be easy to switch up to colours to match your card stock or just what you think looks nice. 
This design could look great in variegated thread too in a fun Christmas gradient. 

I left the center of the design plain so that you can add your own message. From a simple Merry Christmas to a fancier Joyeux Noel the choice is yours.
