June 2020. Black Lives Matter.
With everything going on in the world right now, i’m not sure ‘Happy Pride’ is the right feeling at the moment. Be safe out there my friends. I love you all. You are valid. You matter.
Size 32 canvas, final size 3.5 x 2.5 inches
the pattern can be found for free on stitch fiddle or google drive
While the original design is not mine the pattern is. The pattern has been tweaked a little from the above, just so you know when making. Things that look okay digitally don’t always look right once they are made so i made some colour adjustments and changed some line placements
for those interested in making their own, the pattern is available for free on stitch-fiddle
please note the above was made with sewing thread, not dmc floss so yours may look different. please feel free to use your own gold or red shade if you feel you like something better
Badge from RWBY’s Beacon Academy 3 colours. 32 canvas. used extra sewing thread instead of DMC floss In progress post on DA or Newgrounds
Happy GOmaversary y’all
(I’m not late - i didn’t watch the Good Omens mini-series until after the Stanley Cup celebrations where over, so my 1year annie for the TV show isn’t until June 16th XD )
I still need a frame for the middle piece, but until then, here y’all go
This was a group of pieces I did on 32 count with the Good Omens Stitch Along discord during the month of May. All three patterns where created by the very talented @peppervl
Illustration by @wargoddess9
The swirlies on azi's jacket are meant to be French knots. I dunno how to illustrate that in a pattern, sorry

I may have a few sitting on my hard drive to finish formatting and get printing ....
I bind fanfic and other underground writing into real books. I am a Guerilla publisher.
In a nutshell, the reasons why:
A demonstrative statement on the validity of “fic” in general (and fanfic within that specifically) as a newborn genre of literature that has really only come into its own in the last 15-20 years.
Disrupting preconceptions about what is valuable and worthy of being in print, much less published in a fine edition.
An act of anti-capitalist resistance. Participation in the traditional gift economy of fandom. Most of my projects are volunteer and gifts.
Preservation of fandom history and works for future generations. These books cannot blip out of existence by puritanical updates to a socmed terms of service. These books are acid-free, archive ready, made to survive for another century.
Demonstration against censorship of fiction. Most of the books contain subject matter some people may find objectionable on various grounds.
In summary, it’s a big Fuck You to power structures that silence people. Also it makes my friends so happy that they cry, so that’s nice too.
My book design is deliberately conservative because I am challenging ideas of what should be inside the book. The more a book looks like something a “real” publishing house would put out, the stronger and more subversive the statement it makes.
I am also doing a lot of research working on replicating the style of books from centuries past, and publishing historical fic set in whatever period, in an embodiment that matches. Colors, typography, even form factor as much as possible. I have done Victorian, Edwardian, Renaissance eras.
Here are some various process pics. Books pictured:
WAR, CHILDREN by Nonymos (Captain America: Stucky)
AND THEN THERE WERE TWO by NymeriaKing (Star Wars / Kylux)
BLUTRUNST by IncurableNecromantic (Over the Garden Wall)
CHOSEN MAN by Sineala (Eagle of the Ninth)
May 1st 1990!
I first read the book about 10 yrs ago after my friend, who owns a used bookstore that actually does sell books; recommended it to my roommate ( @sentra04 ) and myself. I had been pretty deep in his catalog of “anything by Neil Gaiman” at the time and readily accepted the book. It was an absolute delight and a rather insightful as well as hilarious look at humanity, destiny, and free will.
We had liked it enough to talk about the book with another friend who lived nearby that I had met in an anime fandom, who instantly lit up and talked about how she had read it as a child and upon looking back, little her had “totally shipped Aziraphale and Crowley” and how she had “wanted them to spend their time in the bookshop drinking and talking together forever!” I definitely agreed with that sentiment.
In all honesty, my only complaint about the book was there was just not enough Aziraphale and Crowley in it.
Enter the Good Omens TV series. It came around at a time in my life when I really needed it, and was the loving adaptation this beloved book deserved. PLUS more of Aziraphale and Crowley to love and relate to. These characters helped me find a passion for my art again and were a bright spot in a world I hadn’t realized turned gray. Love of this book and show has helped rekindle and strengthen old friendships as well as build new ones.
So Thank You to @neil-gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett for your wonderful book, and congratulations! And thank you to the fandom! You’ve brought me so much joy and made this blog a success. I had made it at the end of June last year for unrelated reasons (spite, anger and spite) and you’ve all helped to grow it into an active place to share a truly bright and positive experience. It has just clicked over to 900 followers this week and I’m so grateful!
To Good Omens and it’s legacy!
7 MONTHS!!

huge shout out to @wargoddess9 for all her help, not just for filling in the bottom but for all her support and encouragement
another thank you to @tio-trile for sharing their artwork with us, and even giving us a bonus colouring book page, and to @forineffablereasons for sharing their wonderful pattern
Highly infectious illness keeping everyone isolated? Clearly what we need next is the area's largest earthquake in nearly thirty years.
It's been morning, folks
Done for the Good Omens Holiday Swap 2019. I was lucky enough to be chosen to create for the awesome @holycatsandrabbits (go read her fic omg). These were done for the requested prompts: Crowley awake while holding a sleeping Aziraphale and Aziraphale & Crowley with halos and wings. Yes I did two, I am weak.

Ties in with the I'll think of you every step of the way universe, but doesn't fit in the narrative of that story. This is more Crowley's side to that story, with hints of Aziraphale, while I'll think of you every step of the way was the reverse. I do recommend reading this second as it is meant to expand on ideas that have already been introduced, or at least wait until after chapter 6

T-T
so many people returning shit........
so i can finish the book shelf (meaning another pattern page done! 5 down, 7 to go!), and i can /probably/ finish azi’s coat now, but they where out of stock on the third colour.
guess i can try again on my way to work on thursday. until then, poor azi’s wings are just gonna have to stay unfinished for a bit now
i have now run out of a third colour for the cross stitch….
think the holiday shopping is over enough to attempt to go to the store once today has rolled around to a more reasonable hour?

Because I really like hockey. Ever season, i sit there, cheering on my team, wondering what my current fixation would look like as a hockey team. This year, it's Good Omens.
And, because it's me, it's also written for the prompt 'secret injury' At this point, this is a one shot. but i reserve the right to come back and play later.
We know Crowley did not care at all for the 14th century. There where a few reasons why, but the big one being that his angel was misplaced for most of it, and nobody seemed to even notice.

been trying since 2009, this is the first time I've ever gotten close, much less actually made it all the way. hopefully will get some of it cleaned up and on ao3 sometime in the next few months.
the big question, is do i take a break or not?
Someone: So are you a boy or a girl?

Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark

Here’s the nakie!Crowley version, all finished.
Isn’t it grand!!
(She says she’s gonna do a clothed!Crowley for me to put in the actual story, but lookie!!
nakie!)
Nothing like undressing your personal angel inch by inch, and worshipping every bit.of skin revealed.
beautiful!
*looking for cross-stitch fonts* All of these are so big! Who has time for a 7 by 5 letter!? *makes my own font* Oh, right. This possibly is too tiny. I’ve made a really intense mistake.
