I finished it!

From the moment I saw the season 2 poster I knew I wanted to cross stitch it. There was a huge amount of work that went into this and I was very unsure about how it would look when stitching but I'm so happy!

You can find the pattern here

Christmas is coming up so it's time for a bit of shameless self promoting - I have finished stitches and patterns that a OFMD, Hannibal or Good Omens fan may love ❤️

I've never used black adia before and really wanted to try it out and the logo just seemed like an obvious candidate!

Good Omens season 2 emotionally broke me but since it's stuck in my head so much I had to make some patterns to stitch up 😭 if you would like the hoop you can get it here!

[witheringslights]

I'm currently running a summer sale and you can get both the finished hoop and the pattern on my Etsy here

Since I can feel spooky season is around the corner, I'm doing a little sale for the next week because, honestly, I felt like it 🤷‍♀️ I have some finished cross stitches, keychains and patterns here

[witheringslights]

A couple of years ago, I made some Geralt and Jaskier keychains for a friend, and with the new season, I got inspired to clean them up! I've added them as a free pattern on my KoFi if you'd like to give them a go!

[witheringslights]

I'm so excited to get to watch more Good Omens! Almost doesn't feel real ❤️ if anyone's finished the series already and wanting to indulge in some craft, I do have a free cross stitch pattern for you! Here

[witheringslights]

It's all finished! It's taken an age but I've finished my full crew of the Revenge stitch and I'm so excited to share, I really hope I did it justice!

You can find the pattern here

[witheringslights]

I've been working on this for the last couple of months now but I've almost finished my big Our Flag Means Death pattern, just a couple of edits to make and then I'll finish the hoop!

[witheringslights]

happy pride!

Everytime I order new hoops I always order a random sized one as a bit of a challenge, I got a tiny 4" one this time and wanted a tiny pattern for it so wanted to try and recreate Will's hallucination of being served Abigail's ear

Important hot tip for literally anyone purchasing art

If an artist you rly like doesn’t have a public commission sheet or perhaps you have an odd but reasonable request your best friend will be “I will gladly compensate you for your time.” Literally the moment an artist sees that you’re actually going to pay them for whatever weird request you’ve got, they’re like a million percent more likely to respond positively to whatever your weird request is. For example: I love birds, and I was seeking out a nice state bird cross stitch pattern that wasn’t too complicated. I found one I liked on Etsy, but it was actually selling the finished product (a gorgeous quilt for about $2000) and not the charts, which was what I wanted. No problem! I messaged the seller and said “hi! I love your beautiful quilt, but I am actually interested in the cross stitch charts. Do you still have them? I would be more than happy to compensate you for the trouble.” I have no doubt that this lovely woman has been demanded for free labor countless times. It has happened to every quilter on planet earth. She told me that she would mail me HER ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN CHARTS for about $30, since she drafted them herself and wasn’t planning on making another quilt. I gladly sent $50 her way and told her she could just scan them for me if that was easier for her. Artists are, by and large, lovely people who want to help you. Please, just promise them that you will fucking compensate them for their time and labor.

Watching the DND movie got me really inspired to clean up this pattern and get it back up on my Etsy, you can find it here if you'd like it make it yourself!

Look at this amazing amazing work!!! I absolutely love the jacket and all of the references, it's beautifully done ❤️

I love the Norman Chaple scenes in Hannibal but I do find it pretty funny that this mural isn't actually in the actual Chapel and just something they added for the show but it works so well!

This pattern was pretty tricky to work out but I love it ❤️
