Did you know the first written account of a unicorn in Western literature comes from the Greek doctor Ctesias in the 4th century While traveling through Persia he heard tales of a single-horned horse roaming the eastern part of the world from fellow travelers, and thus began the Unicorn fable, or so the story goes. I know a whole bunch of 3-year-olds who believe that Unicorns are real.

Whether you are looking for a rainbow unicorn theme or a pink theme these ideas would fit perfectly! Setting up a Unicorn party is so easy as so many stores stock Rainbow and Unicorn Party Supplies and decorations, but we love a DIY party so here you go.

I try to share cross stitch patterns for lots of different holidays and occasions, even if they aren’t something I’m that familiar with. Thanks to the large Indian population where I live, I have learned a little bit about Diwali through the years and love to share information about this festival of light.

Diwali is all about the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, and it is celebrated by Hindus and other Indian religions. It is celebrated on the Hindu calendar so it moves around between September and November, and the celebrations last for several days.

There are many symbols related to Diwali but one of the most common is the clay lamp or diya, which pays respect to the sun and symbolizes the light of wisdom.

The diya is the focus of this pretty Diwali cross stitch pattern with the sentiment “Spread Light, Spread Joy” and the diya held in two cupped hands.

The design is from Luba Davies Atelier on Etsy, and it measures 125 by 125 stitches. On 14 count fabric that would make it 9 by 9 inches, or 22.68 cm. If you want to make it smaller, using 18 count fabric would make it 7 inches on each side, or 17.64 cm.

I love the look of this using a brightly colored cross stitch fabric, but of course you can use whatever you like and what fits with your decor. You could also change the colors for the hands if you wish to show a darker skin tone.

As it is written the pattern uses 10 colors, and it incorporates full cross stitches, back stitch and French knots.

You can find the pattern on Etsy.
