Saw it. Liked it. Had to cross-stitch it.
Sometimes on the internet, you can find something so magical, so amazing, so completely fantastic, you're like, "WHOEVER DID THIS IS GENIUS!!!1!!1!" And sometimes, if you're really lucky, they write a tutorial on how you can make the aforementioned magical, amazing, completely fantastic thing yourself. That's what happened when I went over to Our Nerd... Continue Reading →
Or, it will be.

The supplies: 4" hoop 14 count aida cloth Any color (I picked black, obviously)... Continue Reading →
I love me some Kingdom Hearts. And after last week's E3 trailer (with a Tangled level!!!), I knew I had to make the Heartless symbol that had been waiting for me. I decided to pull out the water soluable canvas for this one -- I wanted the red to really pop against the black. And... Continue Reading →
Nope, not even I can resist it. Fortunately for me, Mollie over at Wild Olive created an embroidery pattern that would satisfy the Narwhal Call. (And it's $2, no less!) When I got the pattern, I knew I wanted to make it for my girls and make into a pillow. I made the pattern a... Continue Reading →

All it took was one Sbemail for me to be in love. And while the emails have all but stopped (I rejoiced when I saw that a new video... Continue Reading →
You know what time of the year it is, right? It's time to make the Christmas cards, baby! So, last year, I made seven Destiny Christmas cards for my buddies. This year? 30. (And I wish I could have made a dozen or so more, but honestly, I only have so much time.) And these are... Continue Reading →
So, Babe did a good thing and took us to the movies this weekend (I'm not the world's biggest movie fan -- you can't cross-stitch in the middle of the theatre, LOL) to see Big Hero 6. I laughed (I'll never look at a fist bump the same way again), I teared up (Curse Disney... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I think the best part of writing a blog is coming up with the titles. So, this week's chart is the progression of our favorite little green dinosaur, Yoshi. I actually had a request to post the chart I used in the water soluble canvas vid a couple (few?) weeks ago, but I wanted... Continue Reading →
