Saw it. Liked it. Had to cross-stitch it.
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 →
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,...

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'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 →
So, in my latest attempt to stall from the Dark World cross-stitch (which will get finished some day, I promise), I decided to tackle yet another Destiny project. Absolutely shocking, I know! A couple of weeks ago, @cgbarrett over on Twitter posted a picture of the Guardians in 8-bit form. And we all know how... Continue Reading →
So, you want to make your own Destiny-themed Christmas card? Of course you do. The tutorial to make a card (i.e. listen to me talk for three minutes about the evilness of glue guns, how to convert the card into an ornament, and suggestions for your own Destiny themed messages) is in this vid. The... Continue Reading →
However, this latest project I finished was like the troubled child that you love, but all they want to do is spite you and make you cry. (Don't want to read a bunch of complaining? Go ahead and watch the vid of the cross-stitch's progress.) Oh Guardians, why do you hate me? The original plan... Continue Reading →
So, on Monday, I had the privilege of being one of Bungie’s guest for the Song E3 press conference. (Kudos to DeeJ for answering ALL THE QUESTIONS that I threw his way. Patience, the dude has it.)Babe and I arrived at the pre-show event where there were a ton of food trucks waiting for us. (This... Continue Reading →
