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 →
Oh Yo-Shi Didn’t!
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 →
A Smashing New Cross-Stitch
If the previous free charts or my Twitter profile weren't enough of a clue, my gaming heart loves it some Nintendo. Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong...you know, the usual suspects. So, you know who is excited about Smash Bros, right? This chick, right here. I'm being the oh-so-patient gamer and waiting for Smash Bros... Continue Reading →
Oh so boo-tiful
So, I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Halloween. The candy is awesome, the idea of things jumping out at me is not. (Seriously, I don't even like going through the graveyard part in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.) Still, I wanted to try to make some kind of pattern for... Continue Reading →
Lucky Rabbit’s Foot, er, Emblem
I'll admit. I'm totally stalling out when it's coming to the Lorule project. I think it's the sheer amount of colors and the fact that, well, it doesn't look like much of anything yet. I'm not too worried yet. There were a lot of times with the Dark World map that I wanted to do... Continue Reading →
Canvasing the Area
I love me some water soluble canvas and made a video showing the world how to use it. Bam.
Nintendo Entertainment (Cross)-Stitch
Another day, another thing to distract me from my self-imposed deadline for finishing the Dark World geeky pattern to give to the internet. This time I'm going back to my gaming roots -- the good ol', blow the game cartridge when it won't work, Mario-lovin', Duck Huntin' NES. Although I think that the N64 is my favorite...

It’s time to answer ALL THE QUESTIONS
So, um, yes, there are actually a group of you people who are taking part of the madness that is #30for30crafting and then there are some people who want to join in but are a little confused what they are getting themselves into. So, I'll try to answer the questions that have been tossed my... Continue Reading →
It’s Dangerous to Go Alone
So, for those of you who follow me on Instagram (and Twitter) know that I've been doing what I've been calling a 30 for 30 challenge. The concept is simple, for 30 days I work on a certain project for 30 minutes. (Some days I've worked on it more, other days I've just clocked in... Continue Reading →
To Cap It All Off
In case anyone is unaware, I might have just a little, tiny comic crush on Captain America. So, a couple of weeks ago, when Babe and I went shopping over at Kohl's and found this shirt of awesomeness, I knew that I wanted to do something with it. (Hint: It had to do with little x's.)...
