When I finished the emblem project last January, I really didn’t think I was going to stitch any more D2 emblems. Stitching one would have seemed silly and there was absolutely no way I was going to try to come up with another 48. But, then I saw the Vendor Seasonal emblems for the SeasonContinue reading “Triple Threat”

THIS POUCH IS AMAZING
So, I found these little embroidery pouches at Target and, in my usual manner, decided to drop all other projects and start this immediately. I decided I was going to do a Destiny themed one. At first, I didn’t think I would be able to fit an emblem in the design, but I found RainContinue reading “THIS POUCH IS AMAZING”

DMC Coloris & DMC Color Variations Blog
I am super pleased to finally announce and publish today this hopefully interesting article about the DMC Coloris range. Here, we’re going to not only be looking at the primary project I’ve completed using one of the DMC Coloris threads, but also what the range looks like in actual stitches and a comparison with the other current multicoloured thread available – DMC Colour Variations!
Alright, Alright, Alright
Hey look! It’s the Gambit snake chart that I’ve finally decided to upload. YAY! Actually, there was quite a bit of editing I did on the fly, so I had to actually carve out some day to make the edits so that everything looks nice and shiny for you guys. And y’all know how IContinue reading “Alright, Alright, Alright”
One Stitch, Two Stitch…
A few weeks ago, when Babe and I were watching The Punisher, an idea for a cross-stitch popped in my head. I wanted to make the Punisher skull. That, in and of itself, is nothing surprising. But, I also knew I wanted to use glow in the dark thread’s amazing power to do something soContinue reading “One Stitch, Two Stitch…”
What a Wonder-ful Cross-Stitch
It started with a tweet Quick! Someone make an epic Wonder Woman cross-stitch since I have too many deadlines and can’t do it myself. — Jess (@CraftingGeek) June 4, 2017 It ended with Spykles offering to do a collaboration with me. He makes FANTASTIC pixel art and I knew that he would make something amazingContinue reading “What a Wonder-ful Cross-Stitch”
All Tangled Up
I love Tangled. Really. I LOVE Tangled. It is my most favorite Disney movie. The singing. The cuteness. The fact that Rapunzel is my Disney Princess twin (in the things she does — not so much with the hair, LOL) So when they announced that they were going to do a series, I was very, very happy.Continue reading “All Tangled Up”
Stitch or Treat
So, last week, probably on Facebook, I saw a link to this fantastic idea of cross-stitching a pumpkin. They had a bat template for the masses to use, but you know I wasn’t going to do anything so…ungeeky, right? Let’s just say that I am super glad that I made my Halloween project back inContinue reading “Stitch or Treat”
The List!
I get a LOT of questions about where I get my patterns. The answer is…a lot of places. So I decided to make this post (which is, as of right now, a WIP) so that there is an easy place for you to find out where the charts came from (if you so choose). WhenContinue reading “The List!”
