No problem, happy to help 😁
Switched gears 🦌✨ The antler can wait—chest stitches are officially underway! Finally tackling the neon chaos at the bottom, and it’s already exploding with colour. From regal face to disco chest, this deer is turning into a stitched masterpiece. #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch #wipwednesday
I would use single threads from 22 count aida, or from 25 count evenweave fabrics.
Face finished, neck nearly stitched, and just one antler fully done 🦌✨ The other antler is still neon chaos, glaring at me like “when’s my turn?” Slowly but surely he’s transforming from floating head to full stitched stag. #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitchprogress #crossstitch
#skystitch #fibreart
The face is DONE 🦌✨ He’s stitched, shaded, and officially staring me down every time I pick up the needle. Antlers loaded with baubles, lanterns glowing, and the chest waiting its turn. From neon chaos to a very real, very judgy deer—progress unlocked! #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch #needlecraft
Face is so close to done 🦌✨ Just a few stitches left before he’s fully staring me down every time I pick up the needle. Lanterns are glowing, antlers loaded, and the chest is still waiting its turn. Nearly time to call the face finished! #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitchprogress #crossstitch #wip
Face is almost done 🦌✨ He’s gone from neon chaos to a very real deer giving me side-eye while I stitch. Just a few patches left and then I’ll have to face (pun intended) the almost untouched chest section. #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitchprogress #crossstitch #needlecraft #fibreart #wip #skystitcher
shading stitched in, but he’s definitely glaring at me for ignoring him. Chest is still all neon guide—haven’t even started that chaos yet. One slow stitch at a time, we’ll get there! #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitchprogress #crossstitch #embroidery #wip #fibreart #handmade #skystitch #needlecraft
Face is filling in but not quite done 🦌✨ He’s staring at me with half-stitched side-eye while I’ve shifted the frame down to open up more of the pattern. New space = new chaos to tame, and I’m ready to swap more neon print for real stitches! #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch #wipwednesday #fibreart
The deer has levelled up 👑🦌 Face shaded, eyes sharper, antlers filling in, and now he’s rocking a stitched crown like the regal forest king he is. Still a lot of neon guide left to tackle, but he’s already giving serious main-character energy. #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch #wip #needlecraft
Thanks and I wish I could take credit. Just simply following the pattern ♥️
Deer’s face is finally taking shape 🦌✨ More shading, sharper eyes, and antlers filling out nicely. He’s looking less like a neon illusion and more like a very regal, slightly judgy reindeer. Still plenty of fabric to conquer, but progress is glowing! #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch #handmade #wip
My deer finally has a proper face 🦌✨ Eyes watching, nose stitched, lanterns glowing like he’s ready to host a festival. Antlers are filling in too, so he’s looking far less like neon chaos and far more like the stitched diva he’s meant to be. #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch #wip #fibreart #homemade
Thank you, my first stamped piece, normally go for counted, it is easier but still slow progress ☺️
Thank you so much ☺️
Thanks, it’s slow going but getting there 😁
The deer finally has eyes 👀🦌 and honestly, he looks like he’s judging my stitch speed. Lanterns are glowing brighter, antlers loaded with baubles, and his face is taking shape stitch by stitch. Neon illusion is fading, real deer emerging. #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch #needlecraft #wip #crafts
Lanterns glowing, baubles sparkling, antlers filling in 🦌✨ The deer’s face? Still a work-in-progress patchwork of neon guide + scattered stitches. From afar he looks almost ready for a festival, but up close it’s clear there’s a long road (and many threads) ahead! #stampedcrossstitch #crossstitch
Lantern festival in full swing 🦌✨ The big golden one is stitched, the orange-and-blue one is glowing, and my deer looks ready to host his own light show. Slowly replacing neon print with thread magic—one twinkly ornament at a time. #crossstitch #stampedcrossstitch #wip #needlecraft #handmade #craft
Lanterns everywhere! ✨🪡 The top golden one is nearly done and the orange-and-blue beauty below is filling in fast. Even the baubles are glowing now.My stamped cross stitch deer is finally trading his neon guide for real stitches, one shiny ornament at a time! #crossstitch #needlecraft #wip #fibreart
Golden lantern glowing brighter ✨🪡 Even poked at the green one below—slowly swapping neon print for real stitches. My deer’s still half illusion, half reality, but he’s definitely shining more than last week! #crossstitch #wip #handmade #crafting #needlecraft #fibreart #septemberstitches #canvas
Lantern drama resolved 🪡✨ After frogging, the big golden lantern is almost stitched and glowing properly. Deer is still giving me side-eye for the chaos, but we’re back on track. Progress may be slow, but at least it’s shining bright again! #crossstitch #stampedcrossstitch #wip #fibreart #handmade
Not much stitched yesterday 🪡🦌 Mixed up my colours and had to frog a whole section (the deer was not impressed). Back to bare fabric in spots, but at least the lanterns are glowing! Stamped cross stitch illusions strike again—slow progress still counts! #crossstitch #frogging #wip #stitchylife
Back to my stamped cross stitch deer after a year 🦌✨ The neon isn’t thread—it’s the printed guide, which makes him look finished from afar. Up close? Still plenty left to stitch. Time to turn this glowing illusion into the real thing! #crossstitch #stampedcrossstitch #wip #stitchersky #handmade
Update on the leftover thread experiment, now officially called Candy Columns. Bright stripes of stitch marching down the side like sweet shop shelves—random chaos but looking oddly organised. Who knew stash-busting could look this tasty? 🍭🪡✨ #crossstitch #stitchystash #wip #leftoverthreads #crafts
