Saw it. Liked it. Had to cross-stitch it.
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 in...

I swear, everything I make is not Bungie related. That being said, they came out with their trailer for their Festival of the Lost, and boom, next thing I knew I was spending a couple of hours whipping up a chart for their latest emblem. (You know what they say, resistance is futile and all... Continue Reading →
Back when I decided to make this Destiny cross-stitch, I had no idea just A.) how long it would take and B.) how difficult working with a single color is. (I mean, it's like yaaaaawn.) That being said, this is my largest Destiny cross-stitch to date, overthrowing the Cross-Stitch of Doom that started the trip... Continue Reading →
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). When... Continue Reading →
Lately, the burnout has been real. The Light World seems never-ending and the commission piece I'm working on is a large project, so you know that my brain was scrambling to come up with something else to do. Cue this project. I've been wanting to make this for several months, but I wanted a smaller... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by my buddy Kari to see if I'd be interested in making a quilt square for the Pixel Stitch group over on Twitch. (This, despite the fact, that my old computer practically makes it impossible for me to stream on Twitch Creative.) I told her yes -- the... Continue Reading →
Another month, another Destiny craft. I've been wanting to make something for Cozmo for a while now and to avoid the inevitable burnout of the Light World, I decided to take a weekend to work on this sucker. I was SO tempted to stitch it with glow in the dark thread, but I didn't have... Continue Reading →
One of the most commonly asked questions I get asked is, "What program do you use to make your patterns?" so I figure it's well past time for me to actually, you know, write a blog post about it. The simple answer is, I use STOIK Stitch Creator 4. The question that should come after... Continue Reading →
Another day, another Destiny craft. Really, it's not my fault that Bungie makes things that call to my cross-stitching soul. But, if you want to be subtly geeky on Valentine's Day, this pattern works because to the average person, it'll look like a heart with a design on it. To the Destiny playing person,...

I have a jacket that I love more than any other article of clothing I own (which, with the amount of geeky clothes I own, is saying something). Unfortunately for me, its life is slowly coming to an end. The reason why I love this jacket so much is because of this graphic right here.... Continue Reading →
