Completed cross stitch in 3" wood embroidery hoop (first 2 photos -- other stitches available in different listings BUT NOT INCLUDED HERE)

---THE STORY---

This is one in a series of "It's okay" mini cross stitches I've been designing as little pick-me-ups. We could all use some reassurance that we're doing a pretty alright job being humans, and that's what these are designed to give us.

---THE DEETS---

This listing is for one small completed cross stitch as pictured. This is a parody cross stitch that is also designed to reassure.

The other (3" mini and 4") stitches shown are also available in my shop but are not a part of this listing.

*FRAME: Natural wood embroidery hoop

*GIFT WRAP: As with all my small items, if this is a gift, let me know via convo or in the purchase order and I'll wrap it in plain paper and include a small notecard for your "to" and "from." If it's going directly to the recipient, let me know what you'd like me to write on the notecard, and make sure I have the correct shipping address!

*SHIP: This will ship via USPS first class with delivery confirmation, or international first class. It will ship within approximately a week, and often sooner, unless noted otherwise in my shop policies, banner or shop announcements (under the banner).

Please double-check your shipping address BEFORE you order. I may be able to correct it for you after the order has gone through, but I do not guarantee it, and refunds are not available for items sent to the wrong address.

Leave additional time for multiple orders, or orders of multiple items, just to be safe. :)

Let me know if you need it by a certain date via convo and I'll see what I can do!

I love to do custom work during the non-holiday months! I try to work on one custom project at a time so that I can give each project my full customizing attention; as a result, a significant lead time on deadlines for receiving your custom order is very much appreciated.

If possible, try to contact me at least a month in advance of a deadline for receiving a 5x7 custom cross stitch. (That said, if you're in a pinch and you know I'm the stitcher for the job, convo me anyway! If I happen to be in between custom orders, I can often get things out in a much shorter time, and like I said, I love working with customers on personalized stitchery.)

Most of my small finished cross stitches have an option for gift wrapping.

If you don't see a drop-down list as you purchase a small hooped or framed cross stitch (smaller than 4x6), but you would like your item to be wrapped in plain paper (with a small notecard for your message included), request gift wrap as you check out in the "notes to seller"!

If you're having your gift sent directly to the recipient, please double-check the address it's going to before you finish checking out, and let me know what you'd like me to write in the notecard to your recipient! :)

Etsy has a "this is a gift!" option that helps you tell me not to include a receipt -- I don't anyway! -- but I do not gift-wrap large items or kits.

Mini kits are available for wholesale ordering at any time; contact me for details on which kits I have available with shelf-ready labeling, and for pricing details!

I also offer a selection of finished cross stitch available for wholesale or certain consignment situations, for stores that feel my work would be a good fit. Contact me if you're interested in carrying my work in your store, and we'll talk about what I've done in the past and what you're looking for! :)

I believe in using secondhand frames because it's eco-friendly, supports my local thrift shops, and allows me to frame your items, if you'd like that, at very low cost.

Because they are unique and unapproved by you, I don't pass on the cost of the secondhand frames to you, except for the cost of shipping (usually about a $2 difference).

When you order an item from me, rest assured that you are only paying for the stitchwork, and you may treat the frame as a "suggestion" -- if you don't like it, give the frame away! Your 4x6 or larger cross stitch will come with a mounting board that will allow you to easily pop it out of the "suggested" frame I've sent it in and into any same-sized frame of your choice.

I can't send you a photo of your options for secondhand frames; I have too many frames and a too quickly rotating stock for that. However, you're welcome to let me know your preferences in color and material (i.e. wood, metal, plastic) and I'll do what I can to accommodate your wishes.

If you receive your stitchwork and you HATE the frame I chose from my cache of secondhand frames, never fear! The stitching for a 4x6 or larger frame will be mounted on a board that you can simply pop out of the secondhand frame you received, and pop INto a frame you choose from a local store, another Etsy seller, or anywhere you find perfect frames.

Because the secondhand frames I send are free, I cannot offer replacements or frame-related refunds.

Nope! What I sell are patterns and kits for original counted cross stitch designs, which means you'll be using a printed pattern (or your computer screen if you prefer -- being able to zoom in on a detail can be very helpful!), almost the way you would use a map to navigate in a city.
The details of what is included in each of my kits can be found in the listing for that kit. Click "read more" under the pics for details.
If you've never tried counted cross stitch before, many of my patterns are beginner-friendly, and I'm happy to say that many first-time stitchers have reported fun and success with my kits. I'm also happy to send you a Basic Cross Stitch instruction book via email. Just let me know you'd like one, and I'll send it along!
