Same here 🧐 Hoping it will be up again after the weekend

You know you’re a cat lover when you find yourself slow blinking at small children 🙈

Spent most of my life thinking I got heat rash in the summer, only to find out last year that I’m just allergic to sunscreen 😮 Just a PSA for anyone else in the same boat now the sun’s coming out. Mineral sunscreen all the way, no more itchy bumps 😃🌤️

What the hell just happened? The UK’s #Eurovision entry is actually amazing!

My four year old cat has JUST discovered chasing her tail. Such fun. In the middle of the night. On my bed.

The big news is they can wiggle round and pick up an egg from the opposite ovary when required. Like, that’s mad. How did I not know this? (2/2)

I thought I knew everything there was to know about the female reproductive organs, given I’ve possessed a set for 45 years, but I have JUST learned that the fallopian tubes are NOT physically attached to the ovaries. But that’s not the big news! (1/2)

When you buy stuff from a small business on #Etsy, the shop owner smiles. Does a little dance. Announces the sale to everyone in the room. Calls their Mum. It’s the best 😊

Thank you so much!

Been busy stitching this sample of my Mediterranean tile pattern - pretty pleased!

In the process of switching from an iPad Pro to a Windows laptop 2 in 1. Part of me HATES that I’m doing this but all the good cross stitch software is on Windows 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Just changed my Etsy shop name to Lynette It Be Stitched but now I’m having doubts. Lynette It Be. Is the pun too much? 😂🪡

It could have been worse. I could have gone with Lynette It Be Sew 😮😮😮

Is this one of the Textile Heritage ones? I love their designs!

Colour matching in bed is such a Saturday vibe

I added this to the images on my latest Etsy listing. What do you think? Is it useful? I know I can put this stuff in the text but who reads that 😂 🪡

An arrangement of spring flowers in various old ink & poison bottles & a tiny old jam jar, including primulas, cowslip, forget me not, anemone blanda, cow parsley leaves, pulmonary, daisies & saxifrage.

Recently I missed a couple of weeks of posting my photos here due to really bad mental health but I hope to make up for that.
I design my photos using recent research into the shift in brain activity from fight/flight to rest &relaxation triggered by looking at plants/at something we find beautiful.

Actual life goals

Had to delete Octopath Traveler for being too addictive. Great game but 40 hours in a week is detrimental to my mental health. Time to step away 🙈😛

I made some digital collages from vintage illustrations and forgot about them. Just found one and decided to see what it would look like as xstitch. Can’t believe how blimmin’ good it looks. It’s also MASSIVE so if I ever finish the design who knows if anyone would be brave enough to take it on 😂

A close up of a selection of colourful embroidery threads wrapped around cardboard bobbins and nestled in a segmented plastic storage box. Each bobbin has a number written on it in neat black fineliner.

Boxing Day spent sorting my threads into the storage I got for Christmas 🎄 So satisfying ☺️

Why is Octopath Traveler so good and why can’t I stick to a single game? 😂

I’m not one of those people who obsessively washes their hands 30 times a day, but you can bet the wipes are coming out before I touch that white white aida 🪡

Thinking of doing a temperature cross stitch chart for 2025. Details to be finalised but this is my colour scheme idea. Based on the daily high in my town (NW England). Do you think it works?

All these posts about The Witcher 4 I’d seriously better get on with 3 but I keep being tempted by Palia 😮

The answer to, “Can I dunk my mince pie in my cup of tea?” is, “Yes!”

For science.

Well pleased with this design. I actually want to stitch it myself! Usually I’m sick of the sight of it by this point 😂

All the time 🤫

But of a steep learning curve but enjoying Palia on the Switch so much. Can’t wait for the Switch 2 version 👀

Sneak peak of a work in progress - and if anyone can tell me what English town this is *very loosely* based on I will kiss you 😂🪡
