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’sContinue reading “Burninating the blog post”

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”
Tag Along
If you have been following me over on Instagram and Twitter then you know my crafting life has been dedicated to finishing a zillion tags that I’m sending out which can double up as ornaments. I’ve had a lot of questions and comments about them, so I thought, “Hey, you know, it’s probably time for aContinue reading “Tag Along”
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 allContinue 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 tripContinue reading “Moment of Triumph”
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). WhenContinue reading “The List!”
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 smallerContinue reading “Creating a Division (cross-stitch)”
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 — theContinue reading “It’s Dangerous to Stitch Alone, Take This!”
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 haveContinue reading “Practicing those knife skills”
I’m sensing a pattern here…
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 afterContinue reading “I’m sensing a pattern here…”
