Feeling Light-Headed

Leave a comment

So, you wanna stitch a little something for Halloween? And you want it to be based around Destiny? I’ve got you covered. Actually, I had finished this last year, but hey, we all know how good I am at keeping this blog up to date.

Ooh! Spooky! I can practically feel my light fading just looking at that picture.

Knowing me, you already can predict what I’m going to say next which is…you should totally use glow in the dark thread! I mean, dude, you can literally watch your light fade away in the dark.

To make this, you’ll need E940 (or white, if you’re not going down the glow in the dark route) and 645. And, of course, you’ll need the chart!

This is by no means a large project — you should be able to stitch it up in an afternoon, even with the “fun” of dealing with glow in the dark thread. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Happy crafting!

Hey look! It’s the Gambit snake chart that I’ve finally decided to upload. YAY!

DnT7M72UYAAoZwT
Look at all of its majesty

Actually, there was quite a bit of editing I did on the fly, so I had to actually carve out some day to make the edits so that everything looks nice and shiny for you guys. And y’all know how I am with time management, LOL

I also think this is a good place to remind y’all that all of the charts that I post are for personal use only. Please don’t sell my charts. Please don’t sell products made from any of the charts posted here. Bungie has been super great about me making and posting these so that the good crafters of the internet can make awesomeness.

Anyway, back to crafting stuff!

For this chart I used DMC 4047, but it is a discontinued color. You can find it on 123stitch.com here. But honestly, you can use any color you’d like. (I’m super partial to variegated thread, obviously.)

If you have any questions, please let me know! And as always, happy crafting!

Week 26: Vex Destroyer

Leave a comment

Happy Monday!

I hope this last week of March finds you all well. I’ve been battling allergies all week, you know, sneezing and realizing how much you took breathing normally for granted — yay spring? (Actually, I love spring — the longer days, the green trees and the flowers everywhere.)

Anyway, this week’s emblem is Vex Destroyer which will make you Titan fans happy. Don’t worry Warlocks and Hunters, your turn will be coming up in the next few weeks. The colors you need are: 453, 611, 3021, and 3799 (I used 3787, but it’s one of those exclusive colors so 3799 is much easier to find, and since it’s been used in a previous emblem, you should already have it on hand.)

Download the chart!

Now I’m off to catch up with last week’s emblem and work on this week’s emblem. Emblems everywhere! Honestly, I don’t know what I’m going to do with my crafting time in September when this is all over. Probably more emblems, ROFL

If you have any questions, please drop me a line. And, as always, be sure to check out the #destiny2cal hashtag on your social media platform of choice.

Happy Crafting,
Jess 😀 😀

One Stitch, Two Stitch…

2 Comments

A few weeks ago, when Babe and I were watching The Punisher, an idea for a cross-stitch popped in my head.

IMG_20180206_093448_686
I wanted to make the Punisher skull.

That, in and of itself, is nothing surprising. But, I also knew I wanted to use glow in the dark thread’s amazing power to do something so nerdy, so awesome, that I could hardly wait to start the project.

DVO_5sVUMAA6qRU

Laziness settled in and it took me a couple of weeks to actually make the chart, but once I did, it was off to the races. Less than a week later, this sucker was done.

Originally, I had made the skull look like the normal Punisher logo. It wasn’t until the last night of working on it that I decided to make it look more like the Netflix Punisher logo (which I think looks so much better).

IMG_20180206_093448_687

So, if you want to make your own, this is what you’ll need:

Black aida cloth (I used 14 count, but you can use whatever)
DMC colors: white and E940 (Please note, do not use B5200. It is too bright and you can see the difference in white tones which spoils the glow in the dark surprise)
The chart

(The squares marked white is for the glow in the dark thread. The green squares marks where the white goes. I know it seems a little confusing, but the idea was that I wanted anything that glows to be in white so I had an idea of what it would look like in the dark. Also, if you don’t want to include the text, then just ignore the green squares and stitch everything with the glow in the dark thread.)

If you decide to tackle this, I’d love to know. If you have any questions, please let me know. As always, happy crafting!

What a Wonder-ful Cross-Stitch

6 Comments

It started with a tweet

DC41zcoUMAAbQNj

It ended with Spykles offering to do a collaboration with me. He makes FANTASTIC pixel art and I knew that he would make something amazing so I could cross-stitch it.

DC0IFz5UIAALemj

If you do decide to tackle the design, please give him proper credit. These are the colors I used for the pattern:

Artwork by Spykles
E3852, E301, E436, E3685, E168, 221, 310, 336, 415, 434, 435, 803, 945

DC39yMwUMAAino14

Obviously, I used metallic threads, but if you want to save your sanity (or a few bucks), then you just use the DMC colors (3852, 301, 436, 3685). It’s a fairly quick project — you could probably finish in a weekend without stressing out too much.

If you decide to tackle it, I’d love to know! And as always, happy crafting!

You know, this blog post is beyond overdue. So, in case you couldn’t tell, I make a lot of Destiny cross-stitch patterns and rather than having everyone sift through the blog to find them, I figured I should post them here. (Note: This is only a list of the charts I’ve made myself.)

All Tangled Up

Leave a comment

I love Tangled.

17076311_1405194136221031_4950616658147278848_n

Really. I LOVE Tangled.

It is my most favorite Disney movie. The singing. The cuteness. The fact that Rapunzel is my Disney Princess twin (in the things she does — not so much with the hair, LOL) So when they announced that they were going to do a series, I was very, very happy.
rapunzel-excited

And when I saw the teaser art for it, I knew I had to cross-stitch it because it’s pretty awesome. (OK, I wish she was holding her frying pan, but beggars can’t be choosers. And Pascal is there and you can’t go wrong with him.)

16585136_384853895204080_113810040569200640_n

My goal was to have it done in time for the Tangled Before Ever After movie and, amazingly enough, I did it with a week to spare. I know, I couldn’t believe it either.

Want to make your own? Of course you do.

The finished size of 14 count aida is 11.5″ high by 7″ across. (I know, not the most common size, right?) As always, happy crafting!

Burninating the blog post

Sit back, my friends, and let me tell you a story about a man.

cwxduzbusaaguvgI mean, he was a…dragon man.

cwziohxuuainuck
Maybe he was just a dragon.

c5fnsgivcaaahim

But he was still TROGDOR.

Now I understand that some sad souls may not be familiar with Trogdor or Strong Bad emails. My heart breaks for you, but let’s just say that homestarrunner.com was making things viral before there was such a thing as being viral on the internet.

I’ve been wanting to make a pattern and cross-stitch Trogdor for a long time. But things like the Dark World, the millions of Destiny crafts, and just plain laziness kept me from doing it.

Not anymore.

Just look at all his majesty.

screenshot_20170220-104254

Want to make your own? Of course you do.

What you’ll need:

aida cloth (I used my normal 14 count fabric)
DMC thread: 3757, 827 (if you’re going to make the notebook paper lines — I didn’t because I’m, again, lazy, LOL)
The chart!

If you decide to tackle this, I’d love to know. And as always, happy crafting! ❤

I fell in love with this design last year when Bungie first introduced the SRL. The colors are fantastic and the geometry of the design just stuck out, but for whatever reason, (I’m assuming I got distracted with another project) I didn’t even start to make the pattern. This year, I decided, would be different.

C09iIjgUUAAkPbQ.jpg
This design is really not that difficult (with the exception of stitching black thread on black canvas, but if you chose a different color, say an oatmeal or dark grey color aida cloth, you’d be able to sail through this pretty easily.)

CzlMXwkUUAMh_v_ (2).jpg
I also made a snowflake design that came from Bungie’s The Dawning event which is SO SUPER quick, it’s almost ridiculous. (The fake snow is optional, LOL)

What you’ll need:

For the SRL cross-stitch:
The chart!
DMC colors 3865, 321, 310, and white
aida cloth (I used 14 count like normal which makes the design about 7.5″ x  4″)

For the snowflake:
The chart!
DMC colors 963 and white
aida cloth (on 14 count, it’s just under 4″)

I’d love to see if you tackle either of these and as always, happy crafting! ❤

Jolly Ol’ St. Koopa

1 Comment

‘Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through Peach’s house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a Mouse(r)

Er, ok, I’ll leave the poetry to someone else.

bowser156.jpg

So, if you’ve been on Twitter, you’ve seen me working on this Bowser, er, King Koopa, cross-stitch. I was looking at my new cup when the idea came to me.

I’ve got two variations, one with the Bullet Bills and another with winged Koopas. I haven’t had a chance to test the pattern out yet so I don’t have a set color list yet. Fortunately, the colors are pretty obvious so I don’t think you could go wrong with just eye-balling the whole thing.

Also, this pattern is really, REALLY, wide. On a 14-count, it’s just over 14 inches (and under 4 inches tall), so just be sure to plan accordingly. Also, those *super neat* gold lines between the characters is just a reference, LOL. Please, do not use them as guides — just more like suggestions if you want to drape strings between each bullet/koopa.

The Bullet Bill chart
The winged Koopa chart

On a personal note, you may have noticed that on the sidebar to the left, I have a link to a campaign that I’ve started. It’s to raise money to buy sewing machines for people in South Asia. Having a sewing machine allows for people with little or no education to make some money, helping their families. I figured, hey, since I’m blessed to have an opportunity to stitch things for fun, I’d like to be able to try to raise money for a much more nobler cause. Of course, there is absolutely no pressure to donate, but if you’d like to give a few dollars to an awesome cause, that would be amazing too. (Or just spreading the word would be really, REALLY helpful as well.)

Donate for sewing machines ❤

Anyway, if you do decide to tackle this chart (or any others), let me know! I love to see what y’all have been creating! And as always, happy crafting! ❤
