Cross stitch and embroidery

#FantasticCrossStitchToolsAndWhereToFindThem
This is a Monster Dual Adjustable Dashboard Car Mount - Normally for two cell phones or one large one for use in a vehicle. But I found it and immediately knew it would help me immensely when I #CrossStitch because it's compact and it takes up far less room than my tablet's case/cover stand. You can find it at Advance Auto at https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/monster-double-vision-2-in-1-foldable-dash-mount-2mncm0112b0a2/12252355 or on Amazon

I have been informed that using packing tape to somewhat "laminate" labels on my attempts to reorganize my #EmbroideryFloss #Stash is too noisy at the current hour... Therefore I have been relegated to #CrossStitch for the moment instead... Wow. Twist my arm there... 😉

Done! Technically finished before my sister's birthday but needs to be framed and some real life stuff got in the way so will still be belated. But! It's done. And adorable.

I propose a new hashtag for #CrossStitchers to follow! #FantasticCrossStitchTools or #FantasticCrossStitchToolsAndWhereToFindThem . (Yes, kind of a shameless take on J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts series. But better! Because it has to do with #CrossStitch!)

So, this is to share all our favorite tools & where we found them so others can search them out & enjoy them too. If it's been gifted, it's okay to share it too, but each share has to include where you got it.

What's everyone else working on today?

I know this is #Embroidery instead of #CrossStitch (for the cross stitch groups), but I found this on X (that's such an awful name, isn't it?) and thought it was really cute so I wanted to share. I know there are some out there who organize similar animations with cross stitchers, too, but I've never gotten to participate.

Enjoy!

I...kinda sorta bought some more embroidery floss today. Three thread packs at Hobby Lobby. They package it as "Artiste" but it's actually manufactured in Mexico by a company that sometimes goes by "Hilo Iris" and other times simply by "Iris." I found a color list from 2011 online, and a DMC conversation chart they compiled themselves. But, being the OCD idiot I am, I decided to try to match the threads myself...

Getting close to wrapping this up. Will probably miss my sister's birthday, but Christmas is around the corner. Or it'll just be a belated gift.

I decided awhile back that I won't share fully completed #PrayerCloths to groups because I know they offend some people & I want to be sensitive to that. But I thought it may still be okay to share progress before the Scripture is added. If any are interested in seeing it finished, I'll post that to my page with #CrossStitch & a few others.

Me (at 4:45PM): I'll #CrossStitch for 15 minutes before I start cooking dinner.

Husband (five hours later): Can we order Domino's before they close at 11???

#Handmade #ProCraftInation

I just finished one commission that I realized I severely undercharged for once I started it, now I have a few other people asking me to make more pieces!

I looked up some info online about setting prices, but I'm honestly never sure how many hours a cross stitch is going to take me to finish, and the other method they recommended was charging by the number of stitches, but that seems like it ends up making things more expensive than people would be willing to pay...

Does anyone else have an easy pricing structure they use?

Is @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee still on here? I feel like she might have some experience with this lol

Now that I finished my commission piece I'm back to my Spirited Away cross stitch! Just finishing the last parts of section 5 of 6 so hopefully this one will be done soon!

What are you guys working on today?

Doesn't it look ferocious? Lol

I thought you guys would appreciate this breaking news story lol

60% completed, should be done by end of year! :D

The Cacodemon commission piece is going well! Switching back to 14ct for this one is helping it move along quickly lol

What is everyone else working on this week?

I'm taking a short break from my Spirited Away cross stitch to make this piece that someone commissioned from me on Saturday! I believe this guy is called a "Cacodemon" and it's from the video game Doom!

I started this just after finishing Totoro so this is a few weeks of work. Will be a present for my sister when finished.

What are you working on today?

I haven't had time to get as much of this done as I'd like this week, but you can at least see the rest of the 5th panel here taking shape! I hope to get this part finished up by the weekend!
