just finished my latest #painting. I know I've been quiet lately, but I've been working hard learning how to draw people and it's paying off big time. I'm super excited to be able to draw people and make #crossstitch designs with characters in them!

New #crossstitch pattern idea? 👀 @badstitch.bsky.social I got inspired by your medusa pattern. The sketch isn't finished but I think it has enough to convey the idea. Maybe I can make this my first blackwork pattern! #fiberarts #sketch #medusa

#crossstitch people, I have an awful habit of never finishing anything I start stitching. Since I'm mostly stitching my own patterns, I don't have the pressure of having spent money on a pattern 😅 #fiberarts #pointdecroix

In the velvet dark, two starstruck wanderers circle their beloved star, forever reaching, forever dreaming. This stitched model shows my steps from each day in 2024. Pretty neat stuff! The darker patches are when I did high step count days. www.infinitybeardesigns.com/patterns?pat... #CrossStitch

For my #crossstitch people, this is one of my favorite designs I've made. I've titled it "final resting place". This painting was my way of processing losing part of myself due to health issues. It felt like I was losing a dear friend. Get it at tampaintscrossstitch.etsy.com/listing/1678...
