Just some 40-something who likes to make weird things. Also, I have a LOT of cats.
Finished the Pride Besties SAL from @samanthalanetextiles.bsky.social last night. Was not expecting a worm as our fourth. Good job keeping me excited this whole SAL. Your little characters are always such a fun stitch. ko-fi.com/s/ff1d86543f #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky #pride
Where's the lie? Pattern is available for free on ko-fi. #crossstitch #xstitch #embroidery #xstitchlove #crafts #noai
Cow, frog, and now dolphin. What will be next? That’s for @samanthatextiles.bsky.social to know, and for the rest of us to find out next Wednesday. ko-fi.com/s/dab4499fbb #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky #pride #cow #frog #dolphin
Finished the trans candles. I should have put them on a bigger fabric, but that’s a future me problem. This pattern is from @stitchystark.bsky.social Find it and lots of other good things here. ko-fi.com/stitchystark... #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky #pride
Finished part 2 of Pride Besties from @samanthatextiles.bsky.social Remember, this is a stitch-a-long and there’s still 2 more little buddies to come. Get them here. ko-fi.com/s/6d7399167d #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky #pride #cow #frog
I’ve finished part one of the Pride Besties SAL from @samanthatextiles.bsky.social She’s a cutie. There’s still time if you want to join the stitch-a-long. ko-fi.com/s/8c3eb31fb6
Enjoy a cute cat in these trying times. This is Helga, the smallest of my fur babies. She loves to perch in high places where she thinks we can’t see her. #caturday
Happy Pride those who celebrate. And fuck off those who don’t, I guess. Apparently we’re doing frogs this year, and I’ve made my little rainbow frog into a keychain. For the record, I’m ace (as the kids seem to call it these days). #pride #frog #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky
Happy #WIPWednedsay all. Still plugging away at these candles while tinkering with some new patterns. #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky
If you see this, post your blue art 💙 Made this years ago. Then left it to languish forgotten in a box until now. Why am I like this? #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky #bunny

Watched my grandkids over the weekend. Is it normal for it to take a day and a half to clean up afterwards, or am I just old and slow?
Not what I expected to be doing today, but random lost dog. If I can’t find his people, I may have a dog now. Just hope my kitties can forgive me.
Finished. Could have ironed it, but, eh… This is another of my original patterns, designed without AI because fuck AI. I haven’t named the little dragon, but the patten is called ‘dis is my horde. #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky #noAI
Worked on this some more for #WIPWednedsay. Like most of my designs, it won’t come together until the backstitch. I’ll get there, if I don’t get distracted by frogs. #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #stitchsky

Finished my frog. Then stitched it in purple… because reasons. This little guy is my own design based on my own doodle. #crossstitch #stitchsky #fiberart #noAI
Haven’t posted much recently, but I haven’t been idle. Among other things, been fighting to get this little fox to look right. You can’t see the one in the lower left corner; it’s that bad. #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #noAI
My whiskers floss finally came! These faces were surprisingly challenging, but are cute enough to be worth it. Support the designer. She has other fun stuff, too. samanthalanetextiles.etsy.com/listing/4449... #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart #noAI
If you aren’t supporting trans people then it’s only a matter of time before nobody’s supporting *you,* no matter what happens to us.
Many years ago, I inherited my grandmother’s cross-stitch books. One of my aunts just asked me to find one specific pattern. It’s in here somewhere. 1/2
THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...
It's my birthday later this month, so I just bought myself a present. I'll probably add more cats. One of my fur babies is nicknamed "Big Stupid." I'd still trust him over ChatGPT, or any other bullshit AI.
🎀 samanthalanetextiles 🎀@samanthatextiles.bsky.social · 6mo ago‘I’d rather ask my cat than ChatGPT’ cross stitch pattern 😾💖🖕 Fuck AI! I’m proud to say I’ve never used ChatGPT and simply never will. I’d trust a silly fluffy kitty for life advice over a dumb ai robot any day of the week. #crossstitch #needlework #fiberarts #craftsky #craft #fuckai #cats
It took 2 days to do the backstitch, and all the fiddly 1/4 and 3/4 stitches were worth it. None of these mushrooms are realistic, but this is a made up magic house from Fantasylandia, so what is realistic? #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart 1/2
Finished the main stitching last night. Now all that remains is the backstitch. There’s a lot, but I’m weird and like doing backstitch. #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart
The masked goons of a comic book supervillain are disappearing and murdering people in the streets, and I’m just posting cross stitch. Insomnia and cross stitch is how I deal with stress. I did 4 1/2 hours last night.
Might as well share these, too. The left and right are from Spellbound Stitches V5. Otters in Love by Samantha Lane, which I’ve shown before; and Little Grey Cells by Darling & Whimsy, which is now finished. The middle three are something I made many years ago, and left to languish in a box. 1/2
The best fight against AI slop is to make real things, right? So I turned my little axolotl guy into a keychain or a bag dangler or something. #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberart
