So, back in October I started working on a couple of Mario cross-stitching charts. That was when I foolishly thought that I would have the Dark World done and the Halo: CEA cover almost finished within the first half of the year. And while I haven't given up on making a Mario sampler, I have... Continue Reading →
Guardians of the (8-bit) Galaxy
So, in my latest attempt to stall from the Dark World cross-stitch (which will get finished some day, I promise), I decided to tackle yet another Destiny project. Absolutely shocking, I know! A couple of weeks ago, @cgbarrett over on Twitter posted a picture of the Guardians in 8-bit form. And we all know how... Continue Reading →
Ice Cream (with 100% less calories!)
So, I've been avoiding Hyrule as much as Link avoids those ReDeads in Ocarina of Time. It's the clouds -- I think I estimated that I have to stitch 1,500 squares of one color which is BOOOOORING, but I'm sort of at a point where I have to do them because I need to get... Continue Reading →

The tutorial to make a card (i.e. listen to me talk for three minutes about the evilness of glue guns, how to convert the card into an ornament, and suggestions for your own Destiny themed messages) is in this vid. The... Continue Reading →

Go ahead and watch the vid of the cross-stitch's progress.) Oh Guardians, why do you hate me? The original plan... Continue Reading →
I’m in your fandom, stealing your characters
I did it again. (Can you blame me?) First, let's start with the Halo. I know, I had Master Cheep and Cor-tern-a the last time, but since then I had to add a few characters to the mix. Why hello there... Let me introduce you to my friends. Master Cheep Cor-tern-a 343 Guilty Stork The... Continue Reading →
Super Secret Project of Awesomeness
So, I knew I wanted to make something for the birthdays of the incredibly awesome Elizabeth and San. I tried a couple of ideas that didn't work out, but then I stumbled across this felt bird pattern online. Then, the creative juices started flowing. Both of them are fans of the Avengers (and Loki), so... Continue Reading →
