I've made this cross stitch piece from a freebie kit I got. I'd like it to go to a good home. If you're interested (maybe for a kid who likes balloons?) and you're willing to pay shipping from the UK, let me know! (Mutuals will get priority)

Small round cross stitch piece that says "up up and away" with three air balloons on it.

I GOT A LIBRARY CARD AND TOOK OUT BOOKS! I also placed a hold on a Halloween cross stitch book that’s at another branch 🥰 hopefully it comes in really soon! The last time I took out physical books was during Covid for dad. The time before that I think they still had microfiche 🫣

Three books and a box of Flowflex SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test.

The books are: a hardcover copy of Rebecca Ringquist’s Embroidery Workshops, Cat Lady Embroidery 380 ways to stitch a cat, Cross-Stitch like a Queen by David Hastings.

What's this, a finished project?! #crossstitch

A completed cross-stitch about 10" square, consisting of 16 butterflies, each in the colours of a different LGBTQ+ flag. Across the middle are the words "Spread Your Wings", and around the edge a narrow border in rainbow colours. 
The whole thing is within a square black frame with a glass front.

I haven’t been stitching much, but I felt like starting something small. And then I remembered that small means “quickly finished” 😂 especially if you stay up all night observing 🔭 Together We Stitch Freebie #2 by Carolyn Manning, stitched on 16ct natural Aida #crossstitch 🧶

A 4”x4” cross stitch design on natural (beige) Aida in a black 5”x5” frame. The design is symmetric in X and Y, with green leaves around the outside and purple, blue, and coral flowers throughout
