Dutch Beauty! My mom and I decided to start this pattern - I believe it’s 20 something pages?!? Our goal/plan is complete one page a month. I am already behind, I kept making mistake after mistake on page one- it was becoming ridiculous. But, I have fixed all my errors and I’m in the final stages of finishing page one.
Have a great Tuesday friends- happy stitching!
Love y’all mucho!

✨ Fully finished! ✨

My Mary Griffith is all framed and ready to be hung, and I couldn’t be happier with how she turned out. 🪡🌿

This antique sampler was such a delight to stitch from beginning to end. I loved every little detail—the bright, colorful birds, the sweet little girl with her greenish hair and water pot balanced on her head, and all of those charming little motifs tucked throughout.

And that floral border! 🌸 So bright, whimsical, and lovely. It’s the kind of sampler that makes you stop and notice something new every time you look at it.

Another finish that I’m so proud to add to my collection. Now to find the perfect spot to hang her! 🤍

From leftover fabric to dream bed!
.
Sometimes the prettiest updates come from using what you already have. 🤍

I couldn’t stop thinking about giving our upholstered bed frame a fresh look, so I reached for this beautiful fabric left over from a curtain project that didn’t work out. Instead of letting it sit unused, it became the perfect finishing touch for our bedroom.

With a little help from my hubby, this simple DIY completely transformed the space—and it was so much easier than I expected.

A reminder that creating a home you love doesn’t always require buying something new. Sometimes all it takes is a little creativity. 🌿✨
Love y’all mucho! 🫶🏼

A simple change can completely transform a space. ✨

These beautiful Maribel curtains @threegirlscurtains instantly bring warmth, softness, and timeless cottage charm to this cozy bedroom. Their relaxed drape and beautifully finished fabric create an inviting, lived-in feel that’s perfect for an English country-inspired home.

Each panel comes pre-washed and polished, making them wonderfully soft from the very first day—safe for families and ready to hang with no extra prep.

Sometimes, it’s the little details that make a house feel like home. 🌿🤍

Ever notice how the quietest moments end up meaning the most? Lately, I’ve been slowing down in the kitchen and letting those little moments linger a little longer. My cats curl up nearby while fresh flowers brighten the countertops. The cafe curtains add charm while the light Kiwi green Roman shade brightens the space, turning ordinary afternoons into something that feels quietly magical. The soft hum of home, gentle purrs, and the scent of blooms are sweet reminders that joy is often hiding in the simplest corners of our days. 🌸
Love y’all mucho!

A soft shadow at my heels, blue eyes watching, whiskers twitching—my ragdoll follows me from room to room, asking for nothing, just wanting to be near. In the quiet moments, that simple devotion feels like the truest kind of love.

Two fully finished pieces and a new video to share—it feels like such a joyful moment. 🧵✨

I’m so excited to have two fully finished Animal Crackers pieces—Clementine and Clovis! Watching these sweet designs come to life stitch by stitch has been such a delight. There’s something so satisfying about placing those final stitches and seeing the personalities of these little animals shine through on the fabric. They’ve been such a joy to work on, and I’m so happy to finally call them finished.

I’m also excited to share that FlossTube #27 is now uploaded on my YouTube channel! In this video I chat about these finishes, share some stitching progress, and spend a little cozy time talking all things needle and thread.

If you’d like to see Clementine and Clovis all finished, come join me over on my channel. 🪡💛
Love y’all mucho🫶🏼

When you finish a flower motif in cross stitch, there’s that tiny, quiet pause—needle hovering, thread resting—where you get to admire what didn’t exist a moment ago. A few careful stitches, a bloom coaxed into being, petal by petal. It feels like a small victory, a soft reminder that patience makes beautiful things, even one square at a time 🌸🧵

Sometimes all you really need is a warm cup of coffee and a kitty cat nearby. The coffee wakes your hands and your thoughts, and the cat—soft, quiet, perfectly unimpressed—grounds you right where you are. No rush, no fixing the world. Just steam curling from the mug, a gentle purr, and the reminder that comfort can be simple, small, and enough. ☕🐾

#LTKmomlife #LTKstorytime #LTKdayinmylife

A cross-stitch sampler is a quiet autobiography told in thread. Each careful X carries patience, practice, and a little stubborn hope, building letters, borders, and small symbols into something both useful and beautiful. Traditionally stitched to mark a moment—learning a skill, marking a year, celebrating a home or a promise—it holds the rhythm of steady hands and unhurried time. No two samplers are ever quite alike: colors chosen on a whim, motifs borrowed or invented, mistakes left in as proof of making. When finished, it becomes more than cloth—it’s a record of devotion, a humble artwork, and a reminder that beauty can grow one stitch at a time. Blessed to have stitched and finished such a beautiful piece.
Love y’all mucho!

Finished stitching Be Kind Sampler by
Changed a few things on this design, with the biggest one being the pink house that I so adore.
Stitch what you love and have fun with changing it up. I used two dmc floss colors for the grass and leaves to give it a variegated look and also added a knob to the front door. 🥰 If you’d like my conversion of floss DM me, I’ll be happy to share.

More progress on my Be Kind Sampler.
I started stitching the one over one yesterday and man, were my eyes exhausted just after this bit.
I decided it was enough for the day and worked on the grass underneath the pink house.
The pink house is probably one of my favorite things about the design. Never seen a pink house like it before.
Will be adding more stitching to her today, wanted to share my progress though.
