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.) No Spring… Continue reading Eyes up, Guardian

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 Off to the Races
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 Festival of the Lost
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 Moment of Triumph
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 Practicing those knife skills
Happy Little Engram
This month's TSNEM (Try Something New Every Month) theme is painting. While it's not something I particularly enjoy -- especially after painting the entire house last year -- there was a project that I had been considering doing since I saw TahoeAnime's tweet last year. Bam. A planter the Cryptarch would love. If you have ten… Continue reading Happy Little Engram
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,… Continue reading Like taking (Crimson) candy from a baby
The Holidays Have Consumed You
So let's sum up the past few months, shall we? Crafting. Lots of it. I'm going to go through and post everything once the craziness of the holidays calms down (hopefully). But, for now, I want to drop off a few patterns that I know a few of you have asked for. First of all… Continue reading The Holidays Have Consumed You
Hammer Time
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 Hammer Time
Nailed It
After working on Rapunzel (and actually making progress!), my brain did what it always does and started demanding me to work on something else. So, while Babe and the girls were shopping for cake supplies, I walked around Jo-Ann, looking for inspiration. There, on an end cap were pre-made boards, ready for nail art --… Continue reading Nailed It
