Hey Pandas! I am a digital cross-stitch pattern designer. Did you know that according to research, cross-stitching helps reduce stress and anxiety? When you sit with a needle in hand and focus on each stitch, your brain shifts from “Oh no, tomorrow is Monday!” to “What a beautiful flower this is!” It’s like meditation but with the chance of ending up with a lovely finished project.
Cross-stitching is not only a creative outlet but also a real workout for your fingers. Every movement of the needle helps develop fine motor skills. Soon you’ll be able to not only cross-stitch but also tie your shoelaces with your eyes closed!
Today, I want to share some of my projects. Thanks for your attention!

Cross-stitching can be a great excuse for socializing. You can join a stitching club (yes, they exist!), where over a cup of tea and strawberry pie, you’ll discuss not only patterns and threads but also the latest gossip from the art world (or about the neighbors).
Boredom is the number one enemy of modern humans. Cross-stitching helps combat this evil. Instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media or watching yet another series (that you’ve already seen a hundred times), you can create something unique with your own hands.
Every completed project is a small victory. You can hang your cross stitch on the wall and proudly declare, “This work was made by my hands!” And even if it’s just a tiny cat, you can still say, “This is my art!”
Nice. I just finished a cross-stitch piece using metallic thread in combination with floss.
