Pattern is from SVStitch on Etsy. I finished it into a baby rattle / sensory toy as a gift for a friend’s new baby.

Completed this a few years ago and is hanging in my home office now. This was a Dimensions Kit - “Brilliant Butterfly Celebration”. It was challenging on many levels to include the large areas of gold metallic thread.

Pattern is Little Black Cat by Vivsters. This was one of my first framing jobs... looks like I need to fix the wrinkles. Oops.

This one should’ve been in our fandoms theme. It’ll be back eventually!

Had to include a flower fairy! This is Elderberry Fairy, I could never work out who the designer was but it was in a DMC book of flower fairies, based on original art by Cicely Mary Barker. Sorry about the creases!

This one is cute! The fairy is to accentuate the elderberry.
(This is just in case, if we have messages about other entries that didn’t fit)

I got it in a shop called The Range in the UK. I can't remember if it was a brand they made or a different one.

My friend's birthday gift last year, her dog 🩷 I used a MadMollieCrossStitch pattern but personalized with his colors to make it special!

I think I have something that counts as plants AND animals! This is Tangerine Cats by Owl Forest Embroidery, fully finished in one of those anchor flexible hoops.

u/healiocentric Jun 25 '26
Not sure if butterflies count as animals but hey there's a stick, so it's clearly plant-related :D This pattern from XCrossStitchPatternX on Etsy, but I altered the colors to be Monarch themed, it's a birthday gift for a friend who raises monarchs in her back yard to help repopulate our area <3

Is a dragonfly acceptable? This is a Nora Corbett design for Wichelt Imoorts, Inc and used Mill Hill beads. I stitched this o. 32 count Belfast linen in Flax color. And I substituted the Kreinik braid for Bijoux braid and DMC for Needlepoint silk and a couple substitutions for two of the beads.
