Thanks for the support everyone. The pattern is from the "Pusheen: A Cross Stitch Kit" which can be found on Amazon (Pusheen: A Cross-Stitch Kit https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0762492279/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lRpjCbKZRXW0E).
Kit is Pusheen: A Cross Stitch Kit, available on Amazon here. I haven't cross stitched for a couple of years now, and I wanted to start out with something a bit smaller. Really happy with the way this turned out. If anyone has any advice please let me know!
i got the pattern from amazon i really like for the price and good for beginners (obviously)
I work at a big chain bookstore and we carry them! They’re tiny little boxes and at my store they’re kept on an acrylic spinner with other small boxes, mostly collectible things. Also I did a quick search and found this on amazon and I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing :)
My first time finishing, and it’s these cute Pusheens! Finishing sucks, and my fabric was too thick to fit in the frame, so I had to cut the back, fit the fabric in, and then tape the back on. The backs to these are atrocious, but I’m pretty happy with the fronts. Let me know any tips or tricks to make it easier in the future!

Some clays are not compatible with certain molding materials. I have used Sculpey and monster clay with tin-cure and platinum-cure silicones. Avoid anything with any sulfur. This is a good book about sculpting toys and figurines https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0823095223?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The instructions are clear and I think the size of each pattern is perfect for beginners!
Happy cake day!
I think you need to get yourself this pusheen cross-stitch kit! It’s super cute and looks like it would be a great first cross-stitch to try out! Also, it’s only $9.90 so if it’s something new your trying out it’s not too expensive 🤷🏻♀️
I love my little desktop Festivus kit. It plays recordings of Frank Costanza expounding on the holiday.
Some of the preview images on Magic the Gathering The Visual Guide had spoilers but have been taken down. Here's the gallery with spoilers.
This was one of three designs from this kit by Running Press.
The good: The designs are super cute! They provide enough materials to do all 3 designs. The materials are okay - about what I would expect with a not-very-high-end kit.
The bad: The instructions are not great. The "how to cross stitch" section is just paragraphs of text, spread across teeny tiny pages, with no diagrams! They also say to stitch with 1 strand, which seems wrong (I used 2, although more on that in a moment). On the pattern pages, the grey and the dark brown are hard to tell apart, and the legend just says "Color 1", "Color 2" etc. Would it have killed them to say things like "Light Grey" and "Pink"?
The ugly: The needles!! This kit came with 2(!) needles... both of them wildly inappropriate sharps with tiny eyes that are nigh impossible to thread with ONE strand of floss, much less 2. Unfortunately I was on vacation and did not have any other supplies with me. I persevered and double-stitched with a single strand, but it was aggravating.
On the bright side, if the point of cross stitch is to pass the time, I guess I got extra value! At least I didn't stab myself and bleed all over Pusheen.
It was here but the particular spoiler pages were pulled from the preview: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Visual-Guide-Annelli/dp/0744061059/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=31OCJ5HRFHT20&keywords=mtg+visual+guide&qid=1658928559&sprefix=mtg+visual+gu%2Caps%2C662&sr=8-1
Here is where somebody preserved a screenshot of it and there is some discussion about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/MTGRumors/comments/w598u5/story_spoilers_in_image_preview_for_new_mtg/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
They must have changed it. I checked the preview pages just now, and I can't find any reference to unreleased sets. Instead, it just shows the same 6 pages twice. https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Visual-Guide-Annelli/dp/0744061059/
It's called Magic the Gathering Visual Guide. Amazon goofed and has preview pages up on a book that comes out in December. It has at least 2 major major spoilers in the preview pages along with this one.

If you are planning to switch this thing on, the battery wouldn't last 15 mins.

I used a battery for this but you have to wait for it to drain a little, a brand new battery is too strong and it just stays up. I didn’t have an AC adapter to test it with but it looks fine in the video.

Here's the official kit I started from. The hoop is terrible but it was a nice little kit otherwise! Plenty of extra floss that I used for the extras.
To save you the trouble... there may be better ones, but here ye be.

It's loud as hell, but it's such a fun little thing. She also got me some IASIP stickers that I have yet to use (see my ancient reddit history)

I highly recommend the book Pop Sculpture: How to Create Action Figures and Collectible Statues, it covers a lot of what you are asking. It's over ten years old, so some of the products they recommend are not available anymore, but it's a great guide.
Pattern is from this kit which caught my eye by the checkout at Barnes & Noble and I was a sucker, so I bought it.
