Hi! Love to see you here!
This was another slow month, as I was busy with life outside the shop. But never bet against my ability to get a weeklong project sewn in 2-3 business days!
The Potion of Love was completed with only a day of February to spare! Originally released in March 2025, it’s been redesigned like the other potions—but, to be honest, this is always how I wanted it to look. This version is not only pixel art-cute, it’s a little more ~romantic~ too, thanks to the snuggly roses.
I’m hoping to get the rest of the potions redesigned in March, but with Autism Month to prepare for, it may be a squeeze!
Speaking of which, I did another redesign: I Love Me… 2! It’s a new, simpler, and perhaps cuter take on my 2024 pattern, I Love Me. Though I still love the original, the newer version fits in better with my pixel art:
Also this month, I ran my first-ever Kofi sale! I didn’t exactly promote it well, but regardless, the sale performed poorly compared to how sales went on Etsy. I think the fact it requires a link/code hampered its effectiveness somewhat!
So, I’m not going to be running sales anymore. I will, however, have a permanent 25% off code for The Hive!!
By tapping the above code, or by entering ‘HIVE25’ at checkout, you get 25% off any pattern in the Kofi shop. Indefinitely. Just for reading this!
You also get this month’s Hive freebie, the Granny Squares! My mum crochets, and I was jealous of how leftover wool gets used for granny squares. So, I decided to make a cross stitch version! It’s been awesome for using up my orts!! <3
The pattern is downloadable from Kofi, because there are multiple PDFs. However, it’s still free, and still accessible at the link below!
Happy sewing!
