In this week's crafting blog post I finished cross stitching Nathnolu's Cozy Nest pattern.
What could be cuter than a cross stitch project showing a little raven sitting on a cozy chair and knitting a sock, while wearing a knitted hat?

Here's a little peek into my photography process.
It's actually waaay messier looking than this, normally!
So much of the staging ends up being unseen.

Today's #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A:
What work in progress are you most excited about right now? Tell us about it. If you only have one WIP tell us about that one! If you have more than one - why is this one the most compelling right now? What makes it interesting or exciting for you?

Cross stitch and a driving mock test video binge session. Pretty much sums up my day today.
It's around this point each year in the #FinishOrFrogAlong that I realise the goals I set are way too big, and I'm grateful to whoever it was way back in year one who decided we're strong independent crafters and we can totally extend it through October if we want to 😅
This yellow was by far the hardest part of the whole project. The remaining color is light yellow and I have only to fill in the spaces that are not to intentionally be left blank.
All done!
ETA: designer is crafttimeinarkham.com - I did modify the side of the dumpster for perspective.
I like the way this is shaping up.
Welcome to today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Poll. Open to anyone to answer!

Do you have any UFOs (unfinished objects) that you are considering or planning to frog or scrap - or that you have already done away with during this year's Finish or Frog Along?
My first finished object for the #FinishOrFrogAlong
Well, I still need to iron interfacing to the back, zigzag the edges (roughly where the basted rectangle is) and sew the patch onto my denim jacket, but the embroidery part is done! 😅
I also discovered that my vintage metal hoop is rubbing off its paint, so there's a blue circle around her. 🙃
One of the projects from the mixed up pile of floss last #WIPWednesday is officially back in action for this one.
This is Beachfront Home by @infinitybear and I've been working on it on and off for what seems like years at this point, every time I pick it up I remember how much bigger than expected it is! Today saw some progress on the sky, while binge watching driving mock test videos 🙈
Determined to get this one done. It is officially on the #FinishOrFrogAlong list and that's final.
It’s Barriers and Blockers week for #FinishOrFrogAlong - poll open to anyone to answer!

What's the most common reason your WIP remains unfinished? Comment with anything not listed.
We are at Day 7 of #FinishOrFrogAlong! Hope ya’ll are all having fun. I’m enjoying the polls and Q&A and seeing what you are posting about making progress, finishing, or getting rid of projects that are weighing you down.
Today’s Q&A is: how are you doing? Personally, craftily, whatever you want to tell us, we are here for it.

#FinishOrFrogAlong Poll - as always - open to anyone to answer
#handspinning #knitting #FiberArts #crochet #quilting #crossStitch #crafting #embroidery #sewing #crafting #textileArts #FoFAPoll
What’s your typical (or preferred) way of working through a project? Go with the answer that resonates with you the most even if you sometimes do other things.
Comment with - why do you like working that way? When or why do you make exceptions?
Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A!
How do you store your WIPs?
Physical storage and organization of projects is a real challenge. Some of you have already said you keep projects out where they can be seen - others referred to their Pile of Shame (or Pile of Undying Hope) or labeled project bags. Plus different crafts call for different solutions. What works for you?

Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A: What do you use, if anything, to keep track of your WIPs? Notebook, project tags, software, knitCompanion, Ravelry, something else? Why or why not?

Edit: if you’re on Ravelry feel free to share your profile link if you’re comfortable doing so!
Ok the good news is that after all these months, I do still actually remember how to knit.
The bad news is I need to figure out which bits of this chaotic pile of floss were supposed to go with which WIP cross stitch project 🤦♀️
#FinishOrFrogAlong #WIPWednesday #CrossStitch #Knitting #Bloomsbury

Look at this little fella, isn't he the cutest?!
Two more axolotls to go! I love this NeedleLot Designs pattern. It's colourful, easy and very cute and fun.
Viele Grüße und weiter gute Besserung an @somlu1968
Das T-Shirt ist gestern (oder besser gesagt: sehr früh heute morgen) fertig geworden. Mir gefällt's.
Die, denen es zu radikal ist, dürfen sich über einen süßen, schlafenden Hund freuen.

We have our next female scientist, Tu Youyou. Now I admit to never having heard of her. A Chinese woman with a degree in pharmacology, she was led something called Project 523, a secret government project to find a cure for malaria. She discovered that extract of sweet wormwood could be effective. The preparation of the herb was discovered in an ancient text called Emergency Prescriptions Kept Up One's Sleeve. After purification, the medicine was known as artemisinin. Her contribution was not known in the international community for a long time. In 2015 she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Pattern is Her Science, Her Story by Climbing Goat Design. I wonder who the final two women will be!
Hello everyone!
I'm Hester and I have hobbies. Quite a lot of them. I'm into #writing, #reading, #crochet, #linocut printing, #zine making and at the moment I am mostly #CrossStitching
I'm fairly new to #crossstitch and to mastodom, so I'm trying to find my feet.
This is it for my #introduction so far. If you have questions or any tips about mastodon, I'd love to hear from you!
I hope you have a lovely day.
Hello all,
after over a year of people encouraging me I'm finally #newhere
Still confused about the whole Fediverse setup, but not knowing what to expect can bring the loveliest results.
One of my main fields of interest is #history especially of marginalised groups. I have way too many hobbies, many of them in the #textile area like #knitting #crochet and #crossstitch
Sometimes, I talk about the intersection of those interests.
At #emf2026 I'll give a workshop about hacking your clothes.
The explorers did not yet know the dangers they would face, only that they would face them together.
This was my first ever bookmark pattern and it's out now and available to everyone!
This #WIPWednesday has been mostly focused on cross stitching. I have finished the entire centre strip of my faith cross project now, apart from some white bits which I need to wait for better daylight to complete. I am moving on to working on the right hand side next. ☺️
I also cast on yet another pair of socks, these being for a family member. The pattern is “Elise” by Ashley Ratnam and is featured in “52 Weeks Of Socks Vol 2”. It is a very enjoyable pattern so far!
For this #WIPWednesday I have been mostly doing cross stitch with a bit of knitting sprinkled in. I worked on my faith cross project and have made some progress on the base of the cross. I also shopped for floss and aida for a new start which I am quite excited about. Even though I still have a way to go to finish my current cross stitch, it is always reassuring to have a new start ready to go in the stash. The photo is of my progress today ☺️
A cosy Sunday afternoon means cross stitch (and possibly also some knitting). I am working on this beautiful piece, a cross with the words “faith can move mountains” and a small landscape featured in it. I’ve been making good progress and I am very excited to have this hanging on my wall soon!
In knitting news, the second “Daybreak” sock has been casted on and I got about 10cm done last night. Totally seasonally inappropriate but I’m excited to wear them as well!
Hello! I’m Bee and as my username suggests I love doing #crafts. I am also rather obsessed with #cats and am owned by 2 of the creatures myself.
I mostly do #knitting #crochet #crossstitch and #embroidery but I also dabble in other crafts from time to time. I intend to post on this account about my craft projects and I hope to meet other like minded crafters!
I may also post about #books from time to time, since #reading is another big hobby of mine.
the plan...
Latest finish: “Song of the Seasons” (Sal) from #CaterpillarCrossStitch. DMC floss, 16ct Aida, “Oyster”, from The DigiStitchery
How to tell if you need to clean the house, in one easy step:
Place dark fabric down on the table to take a new start photo. Did it get covered in dust that you'll need to wash off before actually starting to stitch?
If yes, clean the house 👍
