SITUATION IN UKRAINE: Due to the war, and the gruesome situation in designer's home town, we are providing as much support as possible, and are donating an extra $1 for each pattern sold through Creative Poppy's website. You can help too by spreading the word about Kateryna's designs. Thank you! |
Ukrainian Winter
It is not without a certain emotion that we received Kateryna's latest pattern, knowing what she is going through, living in an area that is regularly shelled with only intermitent electricity.
This is such a sweet pattern, with log-cabins huddled together and animals gathering to pay tribute to this young woman, oblivious to the cold, in a gown and head-dress fit for a queen.

Glory to the Newborn King
As the angels joyfully announce the birth of Christ, Mary bears a peaceful look, hands joined in prayer. We love Ukrainian designer Kateryna's interpretation of the Holy family and the visitors come to pay tribute, following the Star of Bethlehem. A cross stitch chart by Stitchy Princess.

Wonderland
Another tribute this time to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. We love her surprised look as she plummets down the rabbit hole, following the frantic White Rabbit. The pattern is stuffed with fun references to Alice's adventures.
Meet Baba Yaga
Ukrainian designer Kateryna (Stitchy Princess) is ever fascinated by her homeland's legends and specifically the character of Baba Yaga, a witch sometimes evil, sometimes kind, who lives in the magic forest. Her latest pattern portraits her riding her broom, in the company of her cat. Two owls look on, unperturbed.

New Tales of Baba Yaga
Present throughout East European folklore, and particularly in her native Ukraine, Baba Yaga is one of Kateryna's favorite caracters, depicted in numerous designs. An elderly witch, ugly and bony legged, enigmatic and unpredictable, alternatively really evil, or maternal, kind and helpful to the trouble hero.
As you enter the magical forest, trees comes alive moving their arms, animals behave strangely. Notice in the distance a wood cabin perched on chicken legs, occasionally turning round? It's the home of Baba Yaga.
Baba Yaga is never spotted without her cat. Even in the dark you'll always spot its yellow eyes.
Oh, she is a busy lady. Here she is preparing collecting mushroom to prepare her mysterious broth. Or serving tea from her Samovar.
But what she likes best is to unwind and relax in a bathroom fit for a ... witch! Even witches deserve a rest, don't they?
