Subversive cross stitch hoops & patterns for menopausal rebels who’d fight the patriarchy, but possibly need a nap first. And maybe a biscuit if you've got one?

Here's our first Free Pattern Friday, a cathartic cross stitch to get you through June 😂

This pattern is shown mostly in black, but honestly, use whatever colours make your feral little heart happy. It's perfect for using up those leftover threads you've got lying around!

I'm thinking of doing a regular free cross stitch pattern giveaway on the last Friday of the month, for people whose life comprises of stitching, spite & questionable coping mechanisms🤣

And that would be tomorrow, so naturally I’ve left myself loads of time to organise it🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

For when patience is thin, tolerance is gone and being the bigger person sounds quite frankly exhausting...

Get you decorative warning signs here!

There's also a pattern if you'd like to make this yourself 😊

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

Some cross stitches radiate peace and calm. This is not one of them however.

Hand stitched, framed and fuelled by an eternally reluctant participation in society 😂

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

Running on caffeine and low expectations.
'C is for caffeinated', a small framed tribute to the only thing keeping things vaguely on track right now...

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

Knitting (and cross stitch) is cheaper than therapy and requires less eye contact.

The pattern is back. My social battery...not so much

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

I don't do anything gracefully, so it's unlikely that getting older will be any different...🤣

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

Cross stitch pattern now on ko-fi as well as Etsy 😊

Peak attractiveness is whispering 'for fuck’s sake' while trying to get a knot out of your thread for 20 minutes...

Check out the Etsy shop for this and many other delusional pieces 🤣

Them: Just let it go, it's not worth it
Me: No.

For those people who are small, busy and not to be underestimated... 🐝

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

I’ve got approximately 12 minutes of motivation. Let’s not waste it on things like 'conversation' or 'basic life admin' 🤣

[Sarah @Thistleflat Crafts @thistleflat]

I've started a trial with Pattern Keeper now I've worked out how to use it on my laptop. And so far it is simultaneously quite impressive and incredibly depressing...🤣
