I have two small square frames that I used to have sun and moon cross stitches I’d done a while ago in. I decided I’d really like to refresh those, so I found two patterns I liked in the Punochka shop in Etsy. This is the Halloween Moth.
I’m doing the other pattern on the same piece of fabric, since they’re so small, so no final pictures until they’re both done.
And can I say, the internet is amazing for cross stitch. I first learned back in the late 80s or early 90s, so I was stuck with what I could find at the local chain craft stores. It’s like an embarrassment of riches out there now. I’m obsessed with Russian designers – I just love their aesthetic, and I can easily buy PDF patterns from them, and even pay in rubles through Paypal. My 40-something self has to occasionally step back and marvel at the things my teenage self could never imagine.
