Welcome to another TTT! This week is a freebie topic, which I love to do because I get to see everyone’s creativity and possibly find inspiration for future topics. I’ve decided to move away from books and focus on some of my other hobbies today. I have taken up cross stitch and crochet in the last year or so, and they bring me so much joy (plus I can listen to audiobooks while I stitch so it’s basically a bookish hobby anyway, right?)! Etsy is filled with such talented pattern designers, and I have decided to share some of my favorite Ukrainian-owned Etsy shops that I’ve been purchasing downloadable PDF cross stitch and crochet patterns from lately. And I’ll show you some of the patterns I’ve picked, too!

Are you into crafting? What kinds of crafts do you make?
What topic did you choose this week?
Wow! These are so beautiful!
What a lovely idea for a post! These are all adorable!
I love cross stitching and have been doing it since I was young. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful Etsy sites! Will definitely be supporting and finding some new patterns to do.
You’re welcome! I hope you find some pretty things. :)
What a great idea. I wonder if any of these businesses are still operating. What a travesty is happening there.
They are all still up and running! Since these shops sell digital downloads that are automatically unlocked by Etsy when payment goes through, they don’t have to do anything or ship anything. I’ve purchased from all of them in the last month as a way to offer some financial support (especially since Etsy has waived seller fees for Ukrainian sellers).
What a great idea! I love this so much! 💙💛
Jana, this is such a wonderful idea! I enjoy cross-stitch anyway so I’ll definitely grab some and share this post.
Absolute genius choice for this week’s topic
Beautiful patterns. I wish I was that creative!
I decided to do 10 genres/sub genres and a corresponding book ☺️

These patterns are all so adorable! Thank you for sharing these. I’m not great at crafting 3D projects haha, I do mostly drawing nowadays but I used to really enjoy making those miniature food things!
OOh nice! I’m honestly not sure what my other hobbies are besides reading! Lol. I don’t think I ever did much cross-stitch besides a kid’s project once or twice! I did get one in a recent book box subscription that I might try…just need to download the instructions before they vanish! Lol.
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

What a great idea, Jana. Why didn’t I think about that? I have done already a few posts to support Ukrainians but I will surely try to order some from the links you listed, if they still can operate.
I have also encouraged my readers to have a look at your page on my TTT which talks about the weather this week.
What a lovely theme, Jana!

I’m a cross stitcher and pattern designer on Etsy so I love this!
This is a great freebie topic! I have browsed the Ukrainian Etsy cross stitch shops too, but you found different shops than I did. (I was looking for more fantasy-themed ones.) I’ll have to check these out!
What an amazing topic! Well done!
Wonderful theme for a TTT post! I love it. I love cross-stitch, too, so I’ll definitely go check out some of these shops.
Happy TTT!

Great topic for today’s post, Jana. I used to cross-stitch but haven’t in a few years. I would also love to learn crochet, my mom is super good at it and when I see her projects I want to be able to do them. Today I am featuring book series I want/need to finish.
I’m not into craft, but these patterns are really cute and make me want to get into craft :)
I love the gnomes and the cats in the patterns! They all look beautiful and it’s nice of you to support the Ukrainian artists in this way. I wish I would be able to cross stitch or some similar craft. It looks too difficult for me to wrap my mind around it.
