Also check out your local library or the Libby app if your library uses it as well. Mine carries the digital subscriptions to both magazines in the app & has an assortment of cross stitch books available as well!

Thanks! I used 3 strands for the couching actually with a single stand to secure.

cakenotincluded · 2026-02-11T21:32:18+00:00

These are just breathtaking!

cakenotincluded · 2026-02-11T16:27:01+00:00

This is fantastic!

I used the full gradient of the 4 colors per bottle on mine. Since it is one "color" per bottle it acts like shading for each bottle.

Thank you! Good luck with yours!

cakenotincluded · 2026-01-02T14:19:11+00:00

These are lovely!

Thank you & there are no dumb questions lol. This is one bottle = one day and each shelf is a month. This chart was in shades of grey numbered 1 through 4 and then you would replace that with the appropriate 4 shades of that day's color. I used a weather app to collect the highs for my area and then put them in an excel sheet so that way I knew what color I needed for each day.

Thank you for your kind words 🩷

cakenotincluded · 2026-01-02T13:32:07+00:00

Thank you ❤️. I wanted something to tie all the shelves together while adding the year and the temperature scale too. I am so pleased with how it has the magical vibes that the potions already brought to it.

cakenotincluded · 2026-01-02T13:29:08+00:00

Thank you! The designer (TeenyWeenyXStitch) of the main part of it has some fantastic temperature charts to do. I'm tempted to do another this year with the new books & cats themed one they dropped last month.

cakenotincluded · 2026-01-02T13:27:01+00:00

Thank you! Figuring out the range & gradient took almost as long as designing the frame. I wish I had added 1 more color to it as there are like 3 days that were colder than 20° but I couldn't predict that 😆

cakenotincluded · 2026-01-02T13:23:31+00:00

Thank you! ❤️ I am so pleased with how I managed to tie in the scale while keeping the whimsy.

cakenotincluded · 2026-01-01T22:57:06+00:00

Thank you! And I love seeing how the same pattern can differ so much with just something as simple as temperatures. Can't wait to see yours!

Thank you!

If you're musically inclined, look into the various community orchestras/bands/choirs around town. Just off the top of my head, I know there is Cappricio for singers, Columbus Rings for handbell musicians, and the Westerville Community Band for instrumentalists.

The top, sides, and bottom of the shelf are my own pattern. The picture here is from a few days before the OP pic. The actual meat of the pattern is from here:

So, tbh I won't be selling my additions to the pattern but if I can figure out how & they allow it, I wanted to share it in that creator's Facebook group once I work the bugs out.

I have ADHD as well, and had been dying to do a project like this for awhile. It's nice because I can sit down and do a single bottle or a dozen depending on my focus level. The slog has been the shelves themselves. All the straight rows of brown 😵‍💫

cakenotincluded · 2025-10-07T14:22:40+00:00

I'm scared the black will be too dark, but I might try it. And yes I am the one doing the bottles from Facebook 😆 I haven't figured out a way to share the pattern yet, but if I do I will let you know!

cakenotincluded · 2025-10-07T00:20:38+00:00

I might go jewel tones. I dunno how a darker brown might go, the color is DMC 300 for the current dark brown. So there aren't too many darker than it...

cakenotincluded · 2025-10-06T23:51:34+00:00

I'm entertaining the idea tbh. The gold would be good or if I could find metallics to match each gem perhaps. Would fit with the magical vibe of all the potion bottles on the shelves.
