I’ve been cross stitching since I was a little girl, and while I almost always have three or four projects going at any given point – especially large projects that have been in progress for a while now – I have found my sweet spot in creating smaller, snarky pieces for others to enjoy. While some of the pieces below are from patterns I bought, most of my stitching these days is from patterns I’ve created – either custom requests or whatever strikes my fancy that particular week. However, while I’m a proficient stitcher, I’m only a middling photographer of cross stitch, so I hope you’ll give me the benefit of the doubt and recognize these look better in person. I do still take the occasional custom order, which you can request at abellkristenl@gmail.com.
