So, back in January, my friend Rachel made the off-handed comment about how the Ant-Man promo poster would be a really simple project to tackle. @K_ThRyce @CraftingGeek ant man cross stitch would be the easiest cross stitch in the world pic.twitter.com/oRn1Gr0ZbC — Rachel Harland (@rahcek) January 18, 2015 It sort of stuck in my mind,...

On a scale of one to awesome, I’m super great
Who doesn't love Strong Bad? No one, that's who. I was fortunate enough to have an awesome little sister who showed me the incredibly brilliant homestarrunner.com site. All it took was one Sbemail for me to be in love. And while the emails have all but stopped (I rejoiced when I saw that a new video... Continue Reading →
Super Merry-o Christmas!
You know what time of the year it is, right? It's time to make the Christmas cards, baby! So, last year, I made seven Destiny Christmas cards for my buddies. This year? 30. (And I wish I could have made a dozen or so more, but honestly, I only have so much time.) And these are... Continue Reading →
Hello. I am Jess, your personal crafting companion.
So, Babe did a good thing and took us to the movies this weekend (I'm not the world's biggest movie fan -- you can't cross-stitch in the middle of the theatre, LOL) to see Big Hero 6. I laughed (I'll never look at a fist bump the same way again), I teared up (Curse Disney... Continue Reading →
Oh Yo-Shi Didn’t!
Sometimes I think the best part of writing a blog is coming up with the titles. So, this week's chart is the progression of our favorite little green dinosaur, Yoshi. I actually had a request to post the chart I used in the water soluble canvas vid a couple (few?) weeks ago, but I wanted... Continue Reading →
A Smashing New Cross-Stitch
If the previous free charts or my Twitter profile weren't enough of a clue, my gaming heart loves it some Nintendo. Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong...you know, the usual suspects. So, you know who is excited about Smash Bros, right? This chick, right here. I'm being the oh-so-patient gamer and waiting for Smash Bros... Continue Reading →
Lucky Rabbit’s Foot, er, Emblem
I'll admit. I'm totally stalling out when it's coming to the Lorule project. I think it's the sheer amount of colors and the fact that, well, it doesn't look like much of anything yet. I'm not too worried yet. There were a lot of times with the Dark World map that I wanted to do... Continue Reading →
Canvasing the Area
I love me some water soluble canvas and made a video showing the world how to use it. Bam.
To Cap It All Off
In case anyone is unaware, I might have just a little, tiny comic crush on Captain America. So, a couple of weeks ago, when Babe and I went shopping over at Kohl's and found this shirt of awesomeness, I knew that I wanted to do something with it. (Hint: It had to do with little x's.)...

Clowning Around
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 →
