The Snowflower Diaries

    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 the...

    Dear Stitchers,    I have received many requests to upload my Truly, Madly, Deeply pattern  again that I had designed back in 2013.  I happy to tell you, it is here!:-)  It is still a free pattern for personal use, you are welcome to download it here:    DOWNLOAD    I had also redesigned the cover and included The Gentle Art Thread conversations, too.  Happy Valentine!    INSTAGRAM: @thesnowflowerdiariesofficial TIKTOK: @thesnowflowerdiaries FACEBOOK:  https://www.facebook.com/thesnowflowerdiaries  

    My dear Stitching Friends,    It has been a tradition now that I design a cute new year cross stitch pattern dedicated to the Chinese zodiac for my dear visitors.   The Chinese New Year begins on February and there are 12 animals to which certain years correspond.   2022 will be the year of the Water Tiger, which only occurs every 60 years. This Chinese zodiac sign is known for its power, boldness and predilection for doing everything big, and this year is all about going big or going home, according to Susan Levitt, author of Taoist Astrology: A Handbook of the Authentic Chinese Tradition. The design is for DMC threads, but feel free to use any other brand you like!:-)    The pattern is av...

Dear Stitchers,    I am happy to share with you the first four designs of the Halloween Minis free pattern series.  The patterns are going viral daily on Instagram .   I will upload the patterns here a couple days after.    You can download the pattern of the first four designs in PDF here, the size is 10,4 MB:     DOWNLOAD      Happy stitching!:-)      

My dear Readers,  How are you doing?  I have been away from my designing for some weeks: I am refurnishing my house, especially the crafting space.  I love how it becomes more beautiful and more like I had imagined it in my dreams.   This big cupboard I bought for The Snowflower Diaries office. It was a brown old German cupboard that I painted.  It is still not ready - some aging and antiqueing is ahead, but I already enjoy it!  IN HUNGARIAN: Kedves Olvasóim! Hogy vagytok?  Néhány hétre háttérbe szorult a tervezési munkám: átalakítom a házunkat, különös tekintettel az alkotói, kreatív részekre.  Nagyon élvezem, hogy egyre szépül és egyre inkább megvalósul mindaz, amelyet elképzeltem, megálmodtam.   Ezt a böhöm nagy szekrényt a Snowflower Diaries irodájának vásároltam.  Egy barna ónémet szekrény volt, amelyet átfestettem. Még nincs kész - még kicsit öregítem, antikolom, de már most nagyon meg vagyok elégedve!...

Faragtatok halloween tököt?:-) Őszi szüneten vagyok a gyerekeimmel.  Mindenszentekre  boszibulival készülünk és gyertyagyújtással emlékezünk elhunyt szeretteinkre.  Hímeztem egy kis párnát az alkalomra, az a címe, hogy "Ott leszek", melynek a mintájával szeretnélek Benneteket megajándékozni azért a sok kedvességért és ösztönzéséért, melyet kapok Tőletek, egy...
