https://www.etsy.com/shop/SturdyNerdyStitchery What is a cross stitch color-in, you say? The picture may be self explanatory, but let me elaborate!  Adult coloring books are all the rage, so why not have a similar idea, except with cross stitch! You stitch the black outline (or in any other color you choose. I hear glow in the dark thread is neat!) and then when you are done, color it in! Use up all that scrap thread! Pick colors that go good together! Or do variegated! The possibilities are endless! As is your imagination!  I have listed 11 new patterns up on my shop! at $5 each, it’s quite affordable to pick up a new project, AND, at 3.75 inches square…it’s a perfect small project for that in between, or when you just need a break from that large behemoth you’ve been working on for years, or if you have tons of scrap thread that you need to use up!  the 11th pattern in my shop contains ALL 10 mandala color-ins in ONE pdf file, all for one low price of $20! so, if your brain is telling you “omg I LIKE THEM ALL!!! I CAN’T DECIDE” well, you can get them all! Buy in bulk and save! Just imagine the endless possibilities with different colors, and metallic colors, or black light neon colors!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SturdyNerdyStitchery?ref=seller-platform-mcnav Ok guys!! I did another round of listing uploads! These ones are fairly simple and perfect for that in between phase in your stitching (or when your current project is getting boring and you need a change of pace) All of these measure 3in x 3in when stitched on 14ct fabric…and a few also  include an extra PDF with a 7in x 5in pattern of the same. And once again! They are all coloring book stitches! Why give you a pattern that already has the colors…when you can color your own! Use different hues for a gradient effect or shading! Sew in sequins or tons of french knots! Sky’s the limit!! So, go check out my Etsy page if you’re looking for a quick and simple project! Perfect for expert and novice alike! Come on, you know you’re bored and need something new to work on!!
