I love Tangled. 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....

Burninating the blog post
Sit back, my friends, and let me tell you a story about a man. I mean, he was a...dragon man. Maybe he was just a dragon. 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... Continue Reading →
Off to the Races
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.... Continue Reading →
Festival of the Lost
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 →
Moment of Triumph
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 →
The List!
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 →
Creating a Division (cross-stitch)
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 →
It’s Dangerous to Stitch Alone, Take This!
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 →
Practicing those knife skills
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 →
Like taking (Crimson) candy from a baby
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,...
