Thanks! I just started cross stitching about 2-3 years ago so I try to get better with each new project!

Thanks! If you look through my post history you'll find one from Howl's Moving Castle too lol I've got a few Totoro patterns saved I want to get to eventually

This one was not a kit but it was a digital pattern I got on Etsy! I was going to post the link but it looks like the seller took it down already lol you absolutely can make your own patterns from any image using different websites and apps though! My next big project is going to be from a photograph I took and converted to a pattern using flosscross.com

It's a fantastic movie and that character actually ends up being pretty nice by the end lol

I plan to do a couple of smaller quick pieces as a little break and then I want to tackle a pattern I made myself from an actual photo I took! That one will be a full coverage piece with like 80 colors so it will take a while lol

This one is designed in such a way that the wiring was all done at the beginning, so that top part is constantly having to be balanced on something or otherwise carefully tucked away until it's finally set in place on literally the last page of instructions!

It's still a really fun model, I just wish they had set it up for the wiring to be done closer to the end like the other ones I've built

It's a little blurry because this was taken from the car but I still thought it was worth sharing!

I just finished one commission that I realized I severely undercharged for once I started it, now I have a few other people asking me to make more pieces!

I looked up some info online about setting prices, but I'm honestly never sure how many hours a cross stitch is going to take me to finish, and the other method they recommended was charging by the number of stitches, but that seems like it ends up making things more expensive than people would be willing to pay...

Does anyone else have an easy pricing structure they use?

Is @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee still on here? I feel like she might have some experience with this lol
