There's something about Bungie that just awakens my stitching muse. Case in point, within a week, I made three projects, because, again, Bungie. They are all super easy, super quick, and super fun so when you have time between the alpha and September, y'all will have plenty of time to stitch one or all of... Continue Reading →

What’s In a Game?
In this house, there are no such things as console wars. Between Mike and me, we've owned everything from a Commodore 64 to a Gamecube to a PS2 to an Xbox Series S. The simple fact is that I just love video games. Today's post includes three charts. I decided to go with the older... Continue Reading →
July: Weeks 5-8
Hello my crafty stitchers! Talli here again. Week 5 marks a switch to monthly newsletters with four patterns instead of one pattern/newsletter per week.

These Emblems are SPICY
So, yesterday was Bungie Day and Tuesday was the start of the Solstice event in Destiny 2 which meant that a lot of excellent emblems made their debut.

I know that not everyone is willing to stand on the overlook of a waterfall just to get a pic... Continue Reading →

Week 3: Vigilamus Noctu

Sorry, But Our Princess is in Another Castle
Years ago, I made a Princess Peach cross-stitch pattern. Then, someone requested that I make a Princess Daisy one too. Unfortunately, when I had made them, I didn't know how to save them in pdf format which means they were in terrible jpg format. Not anymore. I went through and remade the charts so that...
