Come shop for a new spooky stitch project with me! I recently went to colourandcotton to look for a new stitch project, and of course I found several things I HAD to have.
I was introduced to a new-to-me cross stitch designer while I was there; The shop was hosting a trunk show from designer counting_puddles and I literally gasped when I saw it. The intricate patterns and beautiful colorways of her work stopped me dead in my tracks. (That books are magic one is amaaaazing to see in person.)
I purchased two of her patterns, found the perfect fabrics for both, and even found all the floss. Colour and cotton is a GEM of a store and I feel so fortunate they are close enough to me that I can visit on a regular basis. I’m happy to host an in-person shopping event if any of you want to shop with me sometime!! Let me know in the comments ❤️
(Watch to the end to see me unpack my goodies; I’m going to be busy 😂❤️).
