Saw it. Liked it. Had to cross-stitch it.
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 →
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 →
One of the most commonly asked questions I get asked is, "What program do you use to make your patterns?" so I figure it's well past time for me to actually, you know, write a blog post about it. The simple answer is, I use STOIK Stitch Creator 4. The question that should come after... Continue Reading →
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,...

I have a jacket that I love more than any other article of clothing I own (which, with the amount of geeky clothes I own, is saying something). Unfortunately for me, its life is slowly coming to an end. The reason why I love this jacket so much is because of this graphic right here.... Continue Reading →
It's funny how things happen, isn't it? What started out as a last minute change for TheLegendBlue's birthday gift, turned into me getting my 15 minutes of viral fame. Um, did @Bungie just tweet my cross-stitch? — Jess (@CraftingGeek) October 7, 2015 There really is no backstory to the cross-stitch -- I decided that I'd rather... Continue Reading →
Yes, another Destiny craft. Really, at this point, no one should be surprised. If you have played Destiny, you have seen this symbol at least once. If you play like me, then you've seen this symbol A LOT. But that's ok because it looks pretty awesome and when I was asked to make a project... Continue Reading →
Or, it will be. I'm doing a giveaway over on Twitter, but for those of you who don't want to wait to see if the odds are in your favor, you can make this symbol from Destiny's The Taken King yourself. The supplies: 4" hoop 14 count aida cloth Any color (I picked black, obviously)... Continue Reading →
I love me some Kingdom Hearts. And after last week's E3 trailer (with a Tangled level!!!), I knew I had to make the Heartless symbol that had been waiting for me. I decided to pull out the water soluable canvas for this one -- I wanted the red to really pop against the black. And... Continue Reading →
I am a gamer.I love video games. I love the creativity behind games, I love the skill it takes to play games, I love the indescribable satisfaction one gets when they finally beat that level that they thought was impossible, I love them all. Admittedly, I play less games than I use to. I'm a completionist... Continue Reading →
