The Snowflower Diaries

I have learnt the basics of embroidery from my Grandmother when I was a small child. I still remember her huge glass jar of flosses. I could choose any of them.  In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, where most things are mass-produced in factories, there’s something truly special about teaching children the traditional handmade crafts like embroidery and cross-stitching.  These timeless arts offer much more than just beautiful results; they instill valuable life skills that modern conveniences simply can't provide. I am extremely happy that my children learnt these skills not only from me, but in general school too. (We live in Hungary in the Europen Union with exceptional world famous embroidery heritage where it is part of the curriculum.)

Stitch by stitch, they discover the beauty of taking their time to create something unique with their own hands

My Beautifuls, I am very happy to share with you my autumn display of cross stitchings I have created when I hosted a stitching afternoon with my friends. This is in my garden, so after the event I took everything back to the house where there are even more. Welcome to My Autumn Cross-Stitch Display! I am beyond excited to share my autumn cross-stitch display with you all. You know that feeling when you’ve finished a piece and just can’t wait to see it up on the wall or tucked into your seasonal décor?

The wonderful thing about being a devoted stitcher is that our collection grows with every season, and we soon have so many pieces that we can rotate them through the year. Autumn, with all its cozy, golden moments, is my favorite time to switch up the display. Each year, the pieces seem to tell their own stories as I arrange them—sometimes in the same spot as last fall, s

    Hello Darlings,  I was not only among the last people on Earth who recognised the Harry Potter series, but I am among those who just lately discovered all the wonders of Pinterest.   I have been making boards for a while now, but many times I forgot about them. Pinterest is a valuable resource for cross stitchers, offering a blend of creativity, inspiration, and practical tools to enhance the crafting experience. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cross-stitch enthusiast, Pinterest provides a visual playground where you can discover new patterns, share your finished work, and connect with a global community of stitchers :-) 1. A Source of Endless Inspiration I have to admit I am more of an Instagram girl for inspiration, but it is a fact that I can search visual inspiration much better on Pinterest.  I am also very happy when I find the boards of fellow cross stitchers and designers! 2. Organized Creativity with Boards The ability to create themed boards on Pinterest i

  Dear Stitching Friends,   It is Sunday morning here, I am taking to-do lists for next week.   The biggest plan is to release my flosstube video finally:-)  It is not easy to start, but I will!      September has arrived and there's no better way to celebrate the season than with a delightful stitching project, do you agree?:-) Our enchanting cross stitch pattern, “Raccoon on Loose,” is here to add a touch of whimsy to your fall decor. I have designed it for a shop called Lucky Butterfly Stitchery, but now the digital pattern is available in our shop as well with instant download .    This cheeky raccoon, clutching a Halloween pumpkin in one hand and a spooky skull in the other, embodies the playful spirit of autumn nights.   Easy to stitch and designed with DMC colors, this pattern invites you to unleash your creativity. And if you’re feeling adventurous, feel free to substitute with any floss you have on hand.    Imagine curling up under a cozy blanket in your stitching corner,
