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 →
Warning: Delicious Calories Ahead
Yesterday, in an attempt to come up with something delicious for dessert, I decided I was going to make a cake from a cake mix box. (I know, not particularly exciting.) As I was looking at the back of the Betty Crocker box, I saw a little blurb about their website, talking about how they... 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 →
Counting on Songs like Yours…
So, Icon for Hire released an album out in October. And I'm just now getting to the review. (Yes, my time management needs work.) So, yes, Icon for Hire released their second album in October and it is pretty epic, but if you're looking for an exact copy of their first album "Scripted", don't look... Continue Reading →
Have yourself a geeky little Christmas
So, you want to make your own Destiny-themed Christmas card? Of course you do. 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 →
I love cross-stitching.
However, this latest project I finished was like the troubled child that you love, but all they want to do is spite you and make you cry. (Don't want to read a bunch of complaining? Go ahead and watch the vid of the cross-stitch's progress.) Oh Guardians, why do you hate me? The original plan... Continue Reading →
Heroes in a half-sheet…
So, my husband is like super talented when it comes to making cakes. He's made R2-D2, Perry the Platypus, and the Captain America shield. For our daughter's birthday, he tackled making Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles popping out of the sewer. The first thing he did was to create the manhole cover which he...

It was my Destiny…
So, on Monday, I had the privilege of being one of Bungie’s guest for the Song E3 press conference. (Kudos to DeeJ for answering ALL THE QUESTIONS that I threw his way. Patience, the dude has it.)Babe and I arrived at the pre-show event where there were a ton of food trucks waiting for us. (This... 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 →
