There's something about Bungie that just awakens my stitching muse. Case in point, within a week, I made three projects, because, again, Bungie. They are all super easy, super quick, and super fun so when you have time between the alpha and September, y'all will have plenty of time to stitch one or all of... Continue Reading →
What’s In a Game?
In this house, there are no such things as console wars. Between Mike and me, we've owned everything from a Commodore 64 to a Gamecube to a PS2 to an Xbox Series S. The simple fact is that I just love video games. Today's post includes three charts. I decided to go with the older... Continue Reading →
Sorry, But Our Princess is in Another Castle
Years ago, I made a Princess Peach cross-stitch pattern. Then, someone requested that I make a Princess Daisy one too. Unfortunately, when I had made them, I didn't know how to save them in pdf format which means they were in terrible jpg format. Not anymore. I went through and remade the charts so that...

Watch Out for Lasers
I don't really know what to call this category of patterns. They were linked on Twitter, but never made into a blog post making them, well, basically unfindable for the masses. The Forgotten Ones? Regardless of what they are called, now they can find their home here among their fellow patterns. Today we have Prismatic... Continue Reading →
Week 1: Clades Orygis
June 08, 2021 Happy Monday! I hope this newsletter finds you all well. A couple of things before we jump into this week's newsletter. Every Monday, the newsletter will be released, but due to my schedule being unpredictable, I am going to send it out every Monday evening/night. Since I'm in California, that means for...

An IlLUMUnating Post
On Sunday, new Halo footage was released. (Anyone who knows me that, alongside Legend of Zelda, Halo owns my gaming heart.) Anyway, one of the awesome people over at 343 shared a screenshot of a new character named Lumu. Adorable, right? So you know I had to stitch her. The problem I knew I had... Continue Reading →
Don’t talk to me or my son ever again
The Destiny art community is really the best. Last week, Bungie released a trailer for the new Season, and within hours, my Twitter timeline was filled with so many Baby Fallen (Smallen?). I tried to not give into the trend, but you know how it is, resistance is futile and all that. https://twitter.com/CraftingGeek/status/1390751926875090954 So, I... Continue Reading →
Let the Guardian Games Begin
I know people of the internet have opinions about Guardian Games, but I had fun last year and I'm planning to do my part to make sure the Warlocks win this year. But, I wanted to give everyone a chance to celebrate their favorite class, so ta da! While you're waiting for the games to... Continue Reading →
Triple Threat
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 Season... Continue Reading →
Emblematic
A few years back, I started with this crazy idea to start a weekly stitch-a-long project using emblems from Destiny 2. 3+ years later, I finally have compiled a list of all the emblems that were part of that plus nearly a dozen others that never made it to the final projects.If you'd like to...
