Free Cross Stitch Patterns for Neko Atsume Cats

Do you know about the game Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector? It’s a strangely addictive app in which players seek to attract cats to their gardens with food, toys and furniture. The cats interact with the items in the garden and leave fish, which can be used to purchase other items.

There are nearly 60 different cats — some rarer than others — in the game, all of which look different and have different personalities.

Even if you don’t know about the game, if you are a cat lover you might want to check out the great collection of free cross stitch patterns for Neko Atsume cats at Oh Plesiosaur.

As I write she has patterns for 34 regular cats and one rare cat, and says she will update as new cats are released.

Each cat is available in multiple poses including sitting, standing, with legs tucked in, “cat loaf” and cat butt.

These are so great! I kind of want to find the one that looks most like my cat and stitch it up.

Do you play Neko Atsume? I’d love to hear about it!

I have a complicated relationship with my embroidery needles. Which is a fancy way of saying I don’t really take care of my needles at all. Even though I know I have embroidery needles to use for cross stitch and sewing, needles that are certainly still in their packages, I can rarely find them when I need them.

So when I saw this post from Crewel Ghoul about how to store your embroidery needles, it hit close to home for me.

It doesn’t really say anything I didn’t already know, but it is good advice that might also serve as a reminder for you to take better care of your needles when you cross stitch or do other hand-sewing projects so that you’ll be able to find your needles again when you need them.

It would help me a lot if I had a dedicated place to keep needles I’m not using, including the needles that are still in their packages from when I bought them. You’d think I would keep them with my embroidery floss but apparently you would be mistaken about that.

Another good idea for me is to have a place to put needles I’ve been using when I am done with them. Because goodness knows I’m not going to put them back in the package. (Which may actually be a good thing because then I know which one I’ve been using and which ones are fresh. Not that I replace my needles regularly, but still.) I own pincushions but I don’t really use them for anything, which is silly.

Check out the post at Crewel Ghoul to see all the options available for storing your embroidery needles properly. I’d love to hear what you do, especially if you have a better system than I do (which, honestly, would be any system at all).
