Trying to Design

Here I sit with cross stitching on my mind. It seems that my cross stitch items are selling well and it is depleting my stash. Believe me, I am not complaining, I am thrilled. I can't seem to get my mind working on new cross stitch designs. I may end up using a couple of my older designs and making a few changes on them so they will be still be labeled "one of a kind designs". I hope I don't have to. It is a beautiful day outside, sunny and bright. It has not yet reached the 90 degree level so I am enjoying the screen room while I can. What are you doing with you day? How's the weather?

That is a pretty cross stitch. I am sure that you are having an artist's block, but something will inspire you soon I hope. Its a grey and overcast day here, but it may be trying to clear now, I hate to say it in case I jinx it.

Hope it cleared up for you. I do get a bit of a block every now and again. Or maybe it it just a brain fart.

Actually I can't credit for it. It came from Pixabay I love using butterflies in my designs.

Well done in selling your designs. I once designed my sampler. It was on black and had a unicorn, I loved that.

Unicorns are rather magical aren't they? Was it hard for you to stitch on black? I have found it so. I bet it turned out beautiful.

It's great that your items are selling well but I can understand how hard it can be to restock when everything is handmade and takes time. If you don't mind me asking...where do you sell your items?

That's good you continue to work on cross stitch designs. I would look at nature to see what is out there. I'm sure you can get some design ideas that way.

I am going to get some housework done. We won't be that hot but are expecting more thunderstorms today. Good luck with your cross stitch design.

Today will be the warmest all week, as it is supposed to be 85. I love this butterfly. Your stitching reminds me of jewels, only better. I am doing all the things today that I never have time for during the week.

Since I am retired I keep thinking I will get things straightened out but unfortunately other things keep getting in the way.

Glad it isn't hot where you are. Heat and humidity seems to take the energy right out of you.

You are so creative! I'm glad your items are selling well. Nothing going on here. Yesterday it was 71 with some rain. I see that FL is very, very hot. Have a good day.

@HazySue It's been in the 40s. Much too cool. We are hoping for some warmer, drier weather.
