Plywood paneling introduces a light, modern feeling in the foyer-living room of an old house. It is used to cover a plaster wall and a brick chimney that extends to the second-story level.

Perfectly autumnal for #footcandyfriday early 18thc buckle shoes w/autumnal hues & bright palette. Bargello or flame stitch was an imp. embroidery style later 17thc- 18th+ assoc. w/accessories, its appearance provides a wonderful geometric burst of color @metmuseum @met_costume

I don't tend to use a lot of orange or yellow unless they're part of a colour wheel, but wanted something fire-inspired for this. It's another big one, about 43cm (17") across. Blackwork embroidery on 14-count Aida cloth.
Pattern here.

ok im finally posting this :3 did this crossstitch a month or so ago but ive been too nervous to post it lol. mikhailo aleksandr milkovich my beloved 
!!not my intellectual property!! 99% of this pattern is originally by the iconic @smokey-mickey​ (fuck u-up text), buzzy bobbins (side borders), and OlgaHS (top & bottom borders). the 1% is my tweaking and moving stuff around
ramble + front & back scans below

this is only the 2nd crossstitch ive EVER done (the first one was from a kit and it sucks). the back is so messy (i am obviously not an advocate for knotless stitching lmao) and i learned so much while making this. im working on my 3rd project rn and im already seeing so much improvement, especially in how the back looks. im also working on patch making! once i finish my 3rd project (a creeper patch for a friend), i want to revisit this pattern to make one with a cleaner/knotless back + to use pastel colors 8)

Fanfic Review: Stitch Me Up
Dr. Aziraphale Fell is newly appointed as the Chief of the A&E (ER) at Celestial Harmonies Hospital in Lambeth, London. The crowd is a much different one than the patients that gathered at his previous place of work in the South Downs- and his coworkers are perhaps the oddest of all. Emergency physician Gabriel Winger seems to think Dr. Fell has robbed him of a position that was rightfully his. Beatrix Bealz, the trauma surgeon on call, doesn't look or act like a surgeon at all. And then there's that strange Head Nurse Crowley. So stand-offish with his coworkers. So sweet with the patients. A mystery, all together. Aziraphale can't help but want to solve that mystery- what physician can resist one?
Length: 246,250 words
AO3 Rating: Explicit / Spice Level 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best for: Angst, Human AU, Romance
Triggers: Mental Illness symptoms (depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder), past suicide attempt, self harm

*Minor Spoilers* So I broke the rules. This is an unfinished work. If that’s a hardline for you, then this is not the fic for you. However it ends in a good place!! It’s a little abrupt but most threads are wrapped up. No cliffhangers here! This hasn’t been updated since 2021, so that’s why I’m comfortable positing a review. I don't think this is going to get an update. I didn’t realize it was unfinished when I started, but the premise really got me! So I had to see it through.
Aziraphale has just been made Chief of A&E at a busy London hospital. Crowley is the chaotic, but hardworking Head Nurse. I love stories that have their attraction start with mutual respect for each other’s intellect and competency. They are both so passionate about what they do! The setting is so engaging. We stay there for the majority of the first half, but once the relationship gets underway we start to spend less time at the hospital.
A large portion of this story deals with mental illness, showing the parts of mental health that are not pretty. Crowley and Bealz act out in unhealthy destructive ways like real people do. This isn’t a sanitized version. If those topics are triggering for you, I would maybe skip this story. It’s not purposefully triggering content! But is a main plot point and will come up often. Aziraphale puts so much effort into navigating Crowley’s episodes, he really is doing everything he can to make a safe environment. I think reading Aziraphale’s way of treating Crowley could be a healing experience for someone with similar struggles. One very minor critique, I do feel like we had a lot of repeated conversations. A lot of lash out, apologies, reassurance scenes. They’re great, but after a couple repeats I found myself drifting a little. I wanted to get back to the hospital backdrop.
The last portion deals with power play. Aziraphale is very focused on safe consensual play, while Crowley is very eager to begin without fully understanding what it all entails. I love them finding their way, and I looove that this one talks about power play outside the bedroom. That’s the main way we engage with the arrangement. Of course there’s smut, but it’s usually not graphic. Interestingly we usually enter Crowley’s subspace and I really enjoyed that pov. I thought it was very unique and dreamlike. Aziraphale killed me with his dramatic sighs of disappointment when he wants Crowley to behave, lots of, 'Don’t you want to be good for me?' I ate it up every time.
Final story note, I want to mention that I thought the Bealz storyline was very unique and a strong point of this story. Crowley and Bealz have a deep history together and are platonic life partners. The author was not afraid to actually show that. They are not romantic, but they are integral to each other and physically affectionate. To be honest, I thought it was a little brave in a ship focused story to say, "no this person is also important to Crowley and actually does take priority in some cases". And I appreciate so much that Aziraphale is allowed to be jealous, but knows it's his problem. Crowley isn't doing anything wrong.
This was a very excellent read! I am holding on a little hope that we'll see a completion of this story but if not I'm very grateful for what we have!! It's still a satisfying and full story. Mostly safe in public until later chapters, but again the smut isn't that graphic. So you could get away with it if you want.

ASK BOX OPEN!!!
Fun fact: Cross Stitch looks up to her mother Fabelle Crest a lot and likes to try and imitate her any chance she gets. Her family is actually part of high society but moved to Ponyville for a change of pace. She met her 5 best friends shortly after starting school there and they've been close ever since. Stitch does tend to get a tad carried away in showing off her creations to others. Also, the reason for Burst and Fire not running is that, essentially, they ran towards a wall when they scattered and were just kinda trapped.
Special thanks to Anonymous and @splungecoyote for the asks.
Commissions Are Open!!!
