    Love the idea of having a kitty and a cactus but not ready for the full commitment? Stitch up this fun tongue and cheek version of a catcus by Ringcat. If your inner cat lady or cat gentleman is screaming to get out, you should stitch up several in different colors to hang around the house. This little green kitty catcus is okay to pet, won't shed and requires no cleanup–essentially the perfect pet.

    This trio of cross-stitch patterns from Galaborn Patterns is a hip nod to the ​1970s when terrariums were the hottest item in your house.

    Gentle Feather

    This single chick bloom cross-stitch pattern by GentleFeather can be stitched by itself or accompanied by other succulent patterns. Create an entire succulent garden, one bloom at a time. Be careful—these chicks are known to multiply very easily. Once you have one, you might need another and another.

    Can't Touch This

    andwabisabi

    Andwabisabi's adorable cactus pattern is a fun little take on the plant's inability to be hugged. Although it can't be touched, it is still happy and smiling. Stitch this pattern up and use it as a wall sign for things that are off limits. A teenager would love to have this on the door to their room. It is much nicer than a big "Keep Out" sign. This is just one of many play on word patterns available at her Etsy store.
