Xstitch Magazine

so as some of you might know i'm a huge cross stitcher. i cross stitch all the time. i'm so glad that i found cross stitching. i say all the time that cross stitching helps me fight my depression and anxiety. i've completed big and small projects and just love doing it. little by little my cross stitching world has expanded from just making things for friends and family but to also get paid for my work. i've even had a piece of work up in an art gallery that was later sold (woot woot!). if you want to see the projects i've completed and are currently working on, check out my instagram.

recently i've started writing articles for the cross stitching magazine XStitch Magazine. now i don't get paid, i actually pay for the opportunity to be able to write the articles. through patreon i pay the magazine a monthly fee (which helps fund the magazine's expenses) and i get the perk of writing an article for the magazine. (Check out the XStitch Magazine Patreon here). i get to write about whatever i want, but since it's a cross stitching magazine, i make sure to write about cross stitching/embroidery in some way. i've written three different articles and i'm actually pretty proud of them. if you haven't read XStitch Magazine you should totally go out and read the magazine. right now it's digital only, but as they make more money and are able to fund more, they will go back to making a print version of the magazine. it's a great modern magazine of cross stitching. (i'm not being paid to plug this magazine, i just really like the magazine and i'm proud to help fund it through patreon). 

the first article i ever wrote for the magazine, i wrote about craftivism. 

the second article i wrote about was finishing a project that took me over a year to complete and celebrating the completion of it. 

the third article i wrote about being colorblind and cross stitching. 

so go out and check out this great modern cross stitching magazine and see my articles in the magazine. already have an idea for the next issue of the magazine and can't wait to share it with everyone.
