Happy Pride Month, friends!! This year, I hope we protect each other and those that are struggling. No one should feel less than or endangered because of who they are.

Froggo Loves You is one of my small Pride patterns so you can get an easy finish / win. It comes with a DMC and a COSMO floss palette and you can find it in my shop, or ask your favorite LNS to stock it.

You may have seen my previous post, highlighting my other birthday patterns and what they meant to me. The common trend is animals. I just really love animals. And this year is no different. Over the last couple months, we have "befriended" a barred owl. I put that in quotations because it's definitely made eye-contact with us, swooped over our heads, and keeps returning to our yard to hunt for protein. We know there's two of them, and we hear their babies nearby. And! We awoke one day to find A BEAUTIFUL FEATHER GIFT. So to gloat, we've officially befriended ravens, crows, AND owls now.

This design! It's based off the barred owl(s) that visit us. I added my usual candypop flair and a frog, hanging from the balloon! This pattern IS VERY COLOR CUSTOMIZABLE. I give lots of options, or you can pull out your fancy flosses! I went with Seasons for the variegated balloon, and DMC etoile for the starry details.

This will only be free for one day, Wednesday, May 27th!! Follow this link and become a Free Follower if you aren't already! If you're already a paid patron, you can download this no rush, it will become a permanent pattern in the Collection you get as a subscriber.

Current Patreon Offerings

Cross stitch patterns, what plants crave. Let me overload you with patterns and community on my patreon! You can come and go, as you please, you're an adult with adult money. Patreon is a subscription service that helps support artists like me! I have 3 tiers to choose from, Tier 2 & 3 come with access to the BAD Stitch Discord, secret shop, and fresh patterns every month.

Tier 2
Stargazing Moth - Available until June 15th.
Chonky Seal
Yule Cat
Birthday Worm
Snail & Froggo
All the patterns on the 2nd slide, including cross stitch nonogram puzzles, and The Dark Tower design.

Tier 3
Two of Snails - This is a double-sided pattern turned into a playing card! Stitched for fun on perforated paper.

This collection constantly shifts and is heavily influenced by what I want to design and my patrons!

This sounds corny, but it costs less than a cup of fancy coffee at a capitalist mermaid coffeeshop to support my art + you get a boatload of patterns and a community in your pocket. The Discord is lively! We have virtual meetups and stitch together, we're starting soon, and everyone is so kind and supportive. (I love you, friends) I hope you consider joining my Patreon, find the link in my bio. (Free followers also get updates, free pattern access, and access to secret shop.)

New in Shop - Cottage Witch Sampler

Here's something a little soft for you to stitch. We've got all the cute witchy vibes! A bow and a pretty ribbon, a chicken-legged teapot pouring a spooky cup of tea, a crystal ball looking to the stars, and some bats flying around with some keys! I've included two color palettes, the soft cream, pink, and navy color key, and a more retro Halloween with orange, purple, and greens.

Find this in my shop, or as your favorite LNS to stock it!

Sea Otter ~ With all the choices!

Here's another throwback to a cute otter design! I wanted to play with using fabric as part of the design, which makes this one fun. You get to dip into your stash of fabrics and find the perfect watery look. (Or galaxy? How cute would that be?) This sea otter was originally designed for an Earth Day collaboration in 2023, hence the tiny little Earth, but I added other items that your otter could be holding! A starfish, a Pride heart, a book, a pup, or even a skull.

Which one would you stitch?

New Design - Stargazing Moth
(and on behalf of my husband, alternate title "Intergalactic Pollinator."

My latest design was inspired by a cecropia moth, which is a big, chonky, fuzzy moth! It's like a flying stuffed animal, really.

This design has a cecropia moth, but celestial-coded, holding a twig of nightshade, which carries a delicate orb with the Big Dipper constellation. And yes, I used metallic floss again! This time it's DMC Diamant, which is (mostly) attainable and easier to use.

My model is on 16ct Merlot by . Absolutely gorgeous and a joy to stitch on.

Find this cross stitch pattern on my Patreon, Tier 2 & Tier 3, until June 15th. You'll also get a bunch of other cool, human-made patterns and the best stitching Discord!

Last call for the Poison Dart Dragon on my Patreon!

Did you know that poison dart frogs get up to 6 centimeters big? That's really tiny, so just imagine if one of them really did have wings and was just flying around. What are the chances they'd fly into you? Ahhh!!

This design is going into archive this Friday, May 15th to be replaced by a new design. Find the link in my bio and go to my Patreon link! You can unsubscribe when you want, you're an adult with adult money.
