The Gingerbread Camper pincushion / ornament. With icing, sprinkles and peppermints!
Looks adorable with the Gingerbread House I made last year. The pins are made by my beloved @korolewishna, and the gingerbread man is a button by Just Another Button company.
The pattern is available in my shop, discounted for 20% during the Christmas Sale!
❄ Frosty the Postman ❄ The idea to make such a snowman appeared a couple of years ago, when I made the first snowman. I wanted him to wear a hat and a bag, and to add all those miniature details that I love: buttons, embellishments!
North Pole Post special employee, responsible for delivering letters with most desperate and heartfelt wishes!
Materials used: Aida 18ct, DMC, Kreinik, Wisper, felt and different buttons. You can make an envelope from paper (or use a button, as I did!).
Час подарунків! Рукавички, вони ж ялинкові прикраси з секретом (всередині є кишенька) "Українське традиційне вбрання", безкоштовні схеми 2023 року.
Як і багато з нас, я росла серед нав'язаного образу українського традиційного костюму: оці всі червоні шаровари, дивні спідниці, кислотні стрічки та квіти. Останні 3 роки вчуся та відкриваю зовсім інші сторони. Сподіваюся, я не допустила грубих помилок саме у вбранні у цих двох схемах. Хотілося передати і сорочки, і керсетку, і прикраси: дукач, намиста, шелести, перли!
Joy to the World Christmas card.
Another card for the Christmas Cards series! Double-sided, as usual. Stitched on 32 count linen, but you can change the fabric to any you like (preferably blue). Love its calm and vintage vibe!
Actually, it was finished 2 years ago for Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2023 issue (you can find its one-sided version there), and now I can list the full version in my shop too. Available at 20% off for the 1st week.
Also, here is a tutorial on finishing such cards.
Snowmoji Cube. Very small, very cute and ... very easy! 6 sides with 6 snowmojies: Happy, Jolly, Cool, Smart, In Love and Dreamy. Good project for snowy days or to put you in the holiday spirit.
Pattern available in my shop.
Кубик з емодзі сніговиків. 6 сторін, усі вишиті, на кожній своя емоція! Дууууже швидкий та простий дизайн. Кубик маленький, 4см.

Could not resist making a couple of winter ghosts! Easy and quick projects... and if decorated like this they can be cute ornaments or be a Christmas (or Ghostmas?) gift.
All are available in my shop as a set.

Mushroom House or Fairy House pincushions (or ornaments).
True labour of love ❤ Planned as an addition for Halloween Village pincushion series, but there 2 mushrooms as a result - Haunted version (for fall) and Classic one (for summer). Both stand on 40mm buttons.
Both colorways are included into the pattern (red one is a bonus addition and is attached as a separate file). Available at 20% off for the 1st week.
My Book of Shadows. One of my most favourite patterns so far! And my first real stitch-along!
It was made and finished by me in 2023, and our related stitch-along took place in June-October 2023 (and was ripped off my chinese sellers, selling fakes since summer 2024!). I did not post all its pages in this blog, so now here are all of them!
The whole pattern and tutorial is available in my shop.
'Haunted Memory' Ghost freebie.
Funny and easy project to play with different threads (leftovers of metallic and glow-in-the-dark threads). And.. I LOVE this finishing! Inspiration and gorgeous supplies by Tim Holtz (and my special thanks to Tami for this idea with spoons as candle sconces! Wow! I loved making them!).
You can download the pattern by clicking on it below (it will open in bigger size). Enjoy!
The Gothic Camper or Vampire Caravan pincushion.
The next one from the pincushion series. Looks so good with the Pumpkin Caravan and Haunted House. They make a cute spooky haunted street together!
The pattern is available in my shop, discounted for 20% during the first week.
Another two little ghosties (one of them was already featured in the Ghost Calendar) from the series: Pumpkin Spice Ghost and Rainy Day Ghost. Slow cozy autumn mornings, hot coffee, an autumn walk in the park amongst the beautiful foliage, october rains... I always find that this season passes by very quickly...
My Book of Fungi! A precious project, a stitching botanical adventure, that we made this summer. It was initially offered as a stitch-along, and I am so grateful to all who joined it and supported me!
This Book is a part of the Witchy Bookshelf series, that now has the Book of Potions, the Book of Spells and the Book of Shadows. As other books, it has 8 pages, each somehow related to the world of fungi!
The pattern is available in my etsy shop. Enjoy stitching it!
Haunted House pincushion, to make a little Halloween street with the Haunted Caravan pincushion.
Cute and interesting project for the spooky season! And... it stands on a wooden button! Can be used as a seasonal pincushion or as a Halloween ornament!.. And it makes a beautiful set with this Halloween card. Hope you will love it as much as I do! Adorable pins were made by @korolewishna.
The pattern is available in my shop here and as a set with the card, and as a set with the Caravan.

'Busy Elves' Christmas stitch along! Let's get into the Christmas spirit by creating this adorable set of ornaments! 🎄Stitching starts Oct, 1st.
The 'Busy Elves' mystery SAL features 8 classic holiday motifs with a reds and greens color vibe and a funny twist. These cute, original designs are pretty easy and relaxing to stitch. Grab a mug of hot chocolate or coffee, a plate of cookies, and let's stitch!
Stitch-along will cover step-by-step finishing instructions for 3 types of possible ornaments to make from the most easy one (but still cute and beautiful) to the most advanced (scroll the photos to see all 3 finishing ways).
You can join the SAL in my shop here.
I am happy to announce that Lea LadyRevengaCrafts has made the embellishment packs for the Busy Elves SAL! There are different types of packs for each way of finishing available in her shop.
❄️'Mrs Claus's Cookbook' mystery stitch-a-long, a festive project for Christmas lovers and book worms, sure to put you in the holiday spirit! ❄️
Dear followers, chinese sellers have stolen the Witches Books designs and are making counterfeit kits, also printing my patterns, including our brand name! The contents of those kits are awful, they include the incorrectly printed pattern, and totally unusable fabrics and threads.
These 'kits' pop up everywhere including AliExpress, Amazon, Ebay as well as all the other random websites. And I am sure some of you have seen those ads in Instagram and Facebook, under the different names, mostly selling the Book of Shadows.
This is having a massive impact on our business and reputation.
Thanks so much to everyone who's looked out for us, reported listings and left comments letting other shoppers know that they're scams. Thanks to fellow designers for your support and for 'spreading the word' among your followers! It all really helps and it's a positive we can take from this that the stitching community is so supportive and amazing!
❤
You can currently order the my original Witches Bookshelf patterns only in my shop LivingOnTheRainbow (I am working on my personal website, but it takes time), and the genuine embellishment packs for the books, agreed with me, in LadyRevengaCrafts etsy shop.
Please be aware that if you order the pattern and kit from anywhere other than the places mentioned above, you won't receive what is described as they just don't have access to the same knowledge and suppliers. Some items were made to order, specially for the Books. #livingontherainbowpatterns
The witch had a cat and a very tall hat... (c)
The Witch's Cat! Right in time for Halloween preparations, potions brewing and spells casting! And of course, it is such a cute and fluffy stitching helper for any stitching Witch 🖤
Stitched with Wisper, Kreinik and DMC threads. Hat is sewn from felt and decorated with the gorgeous pins made by @korolewishna.
Pattern available in my shop.
Over the last year I made several small patterns about little ghosts. It has become a series, and now comprises more than 10 separate patterns and a Calendar.
Here are some of them, different hobbys related: a book lover, a stitcher, a plant parent, a knitter, a forager and even a chef!
All the patterns from the Little Ghosts series are available in my shop here.
Dear stitching friends, here is my newest calendar pattern - The Ghost Calendar. This project was so much fun!! You can frame it as I did, or stitch separate 12 ornaments and frame them in hoops!
The pattern is available in my etsy shop.

🍄🌿 The "Fungi Book" mystery stitch-a-long, a botanical adventure for witchy stitchers, mushroom lovers and book worms 🌿🍄
The Book contains 8 pages. 6 of them feature bizarre, vibrant, mysterious, and often fantastically shaped mushrooms. There will also be 2 pages in a more traditional botanical style, showing mushroom anatomy (those pages will be optional, as they are mostly back stitched). Do not worry, if you prefer not to stitch them, another 2 fungi patterns will be included, so, your Book will feature 8 mushrooms in total.
