I am determined to get this one finished before the end of August! 🧵🍓

I’m back working on Strawberry Season from patreon, I’m so close now that I’ve decided it has to become an August finish. 😂

I’ve loved watching this cross stitch project come together — the colours are gorgeous and it’s been such a lovely summery stitch.

🎧 I’m also about to start The Tarot Reader of Versailles on audiobook, so today’s plan is basically cross stitch + audiobook and seeing how much progress I can make. My favourite combination! 📚🧵

💬 What are you stitching or listening to this weekend? And do you ever give yourself an end-of-the-month deadline to finish a WIP?

Save this to follow my progress and follow along to see whether Strawberry Season actually becomes an August finish! 🍓

A finish! 🧵✨ My Hummingbird embroidery by is finally complete!

I absolutely loved stitching this one — the colours, the details and watching the hummingbird slowly come together. 💛

The gold metallic thread, though… we nearly had a falling out. 😂✨ It definitely tested my patience, but I persevered and I’m so glad I did because that little bit of sparkle was worth it in the end.

There’s something so satisfying about taking that final stitch and seeing a hand embroidery project completely finished.

💬 Be honest — do you love stitching with metallic thread, or do you avoid it at all costs?

Save this for some embroidery inspiration, and follow for more hand embroidery, cross stitch, sewing and all my latest stitching projects. 🧵

Nearly caught up with my Tiny Modernist stitch along! 🧵✨

Considering I only started this cross stitch SAL three weeks ago — on an aeroplane of all places ✈️ — I’m really pleased with how much progress I’ve made.

I’m absolutely loving the colours in this one and seeing all the little sections slowly coming
together. It’s definitely been one of those cross stitch projects where I keep telling myself “just one more ro” 😂

I don’t have too much more to stitch before I’m completely caught up and ready for the next part!
You can see more of this project, along with my other cross stitch WIPs, embroidery, finishes and crafty chats over on my YouTube channel, CalmStitchRead 🧵📺 — link in bio.

💬 Are you taking part in any stitch alongs at the moment, or is there a SAL you’ve been tempted to join?

Save this to follow my progress, and come and join me over on YouTube for more stitching updates. 💛

I was SO excited to organise my embroidery threads onto my new floss drops🧵✨

I sat there happily putting my DMC embroidery floss, for a new project, onto them, feeling very pleased with how neat and organised everything was looking.

And then I realised…

I hadn't labelled a single one with the DMC colour number. 🤦‍♀️😂

So yes, my embroidery floss looks lovely. Do I know what half the colours actually are anymore?

Absolutely not.

Please tell me I'm not the only person who's got carried away organising their cross stitch or embroidery supplies and forgotten one fairly important detail.

💬 What's your best crafting fail? I need to know I'm not alone!

Some mornings are made for slowing down. 💛🐈🧵

Now that it's the school holidays, the mornings feel a little less rushed, which means there's more time for Caramel's morning cuddles before I settle down with my cross stitch.

These quiet moments are some of my favourite parts of the day. A cup of tea, cross stitch, a purring cat and a peaceful morning—it doesn't get much cosier than that.

💬 Are you enjoying a slower pace over the summer, or is life still as busy as ever? Let me know in the comments, and save this Reel if you love cosy crafting, cross stitch and cat content.

🐈🧵 Every embroidery session starts the same way.

Before I can pick up my needle, Caramel has to make sure she's had plenty of fuss first. I wouldn't have it any other way! 💛

Once she's happy, it's finally time to settle down with my embroidery and enjoy a quiet, cosy stitching session.

Does anyone else's pet insist on being part of their favourite hobby?

💬 Tell me about your crafting companion in the comments, and if you'd like to see more cosy embroidery and bookish moments, I'd love for you to give me a follow.

This week hasn’t really gone to plan.

Work has been full on, and I haven’t picked up my embroidery as much as I thought I would.

But that’s real life.

Creative hobbies don’t disappear just because you’ve had a busy week — they just wait for you.

And right now? I’ve been swapping embroidery for a bit more reading in the evenings, which is exactly what I’ve needed. If you're interested in my reading journey follow along

That’s the thing with something like hand embroidery… there’s no pressure.

The free pattern is there whenever you’re ready.
No rush. No perfect timing.
Dream it.
Plan it.
Do it… when you can.

How has your week been? 💛
