Designer Spotlight: Dizzy Digital Craft Co

by

I plan out my posts ahead of time and sometimes leave myself notes in my planner about why I wanted to write about a particular thing. My note for today’s designer, Dizzy Digital Craft Co, says “Ramadan and cats.”

By the time I made it back to the site, the front page was full of Mother’s Day projects and frogs. But that’s fine, too. There were still some cats to be found (a whole section, in fact), and lots of other fun stuff, too.

These designs are colorful, whimsical, include a lot of flowers and look like lots of fun to stitch. While we’re on he subject of cats, you know I couldn’t resist sharing this design of a black cat in a sweater (since I’m a knitter with a black cat), thought the pattern listing says it’s crochet when it’s clearly knit. The design is 142 by 200 stitches, which comes out to 10.14 by 14.29 inches or 25.76 by 36.29 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 25 colors. I might just have to make it for my Baron.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, there are plenty of other cute animal cross stitch patterns here, including the aforementioned frogs, dogs, butterflies, some sheep, cows (Highland and regular), and a cute squirrel.

As mentioned there are plenty of Mother’s Day patterns, as well as projects for the nursery and projects inspired by nature, from flowers and mountains to beach scenes and funky mushrooms.

Those Ramadan patterns I mentioned are in a section called cross stitch, which isn’t that helpful but I did manage to find them again. There are lovely designs with a mosque and a crescent moon. In addition in this section you’ll find bookmarks, a few designs with people and a place where you can order a custom made cross stitch pattern.

Check out all these colorful goodies and more at the Dizzy Digital Craft Co shop on Etsy.

King Sophie’s World – Where Photography Meets Embroidery in a Stunning Art Evolution

In the world of modern art, creative boundaries are constantly being pushed, and one artist who is leading the charge in an innovative and inspiring way is Sophie, the mastermind behind King Sophie’s World. Sophie is redefining what it means to blend traditional needlework with contemporary art by combining her stunning photography with embroidery. If you haven’t heard of her yet, you’re in for a treat. Let’s take a closer look at how Sophie’s work is pushing the boundaries of art, one embroidered print at a time.

Sophie’s artistic journey is a fusion of two worlds: photography and embroidery. As an artist, she captures beautiful, thought-provoking photographs that evoke emotion and capture life’s fleeting moments. But Sophie doesn’t stop there. She then takes those images to the next level by adding her signature embroidery to everyday objects, creating a piece of art that is both striking and meaningful. These embroidered prints aren’t just photographs—they are a  intricate interpretation of her vision, 

This evolution of art, where photography and embroidery meet, is not just innovative; it’s a testament to the evolving ways in which artists are reimagining the classics and experimenting with new techniques. Sophie’s ability to seamlessly blend these two mediums shows just how far the art world has come—and it’s exciting to think about where it’s headed next.

Among the many stunning pieces in Sophie’s collection, her embroidered rose prints stand out as personal favorites. There’s something so striking about the combination of delicate flowers and bold, empowering words. The roses themselves are beautifully photographed, with intricate stitches capturing the softness and elegance of each petal. But it’s the juxtaposition of these gentle flowers with words that encourage strength and confidence that makes them so powerful.

Her rose embroidery prints feature sayings that resonate with many of us—quotes that inspire, uplift, and make us reflect on the importance of self-worth and empowerment. These aren’t just pretty flowers; they’re symbols of resilience, independence, and beauty, much like the women they represent. Every time I look at one of her pieces, it’s like a visual reminder of how we all need to embrace our inner strength and beauty.

What Sophie is doing with her embroidered prints is so cool because it’s a perfect example of how artists are adapting to and evolving with the times. She takes the age-old art of embroidery—something traditionally viewed as delicate and reserved for traditional or vintage works—and reinvents it. By combining it with photography, she breathes new life into both mediums.

Sophie’s work is proof that art doesn’t need to stay stagnant. It’s an ever-changing, ever-growing process that can take on new forms and new meanings. Through her embroidered prints, Sophie is showing the world how art can evolve and how we, as viewers, can continue to be surprised and inspired by these innovations.
