On Sunday, new Halo footage was released. (Anyone who knows me that, alongside Legend of Zelda, Halo owns my gaming heart.) Anyway, one of the awesome people over at 343 shared a screenshot of a new character named Lumu. Adorable, right? So you know I had to stitch her. The problem I knew I had... Continue Reading →
Don’t talk to me or my son ever again
The Destiny art community is really the best. Last week, Bungie released a trailer for the new Season, and within hours, my Twitter timeline was filled with so many Baby Fallen (Smallen?). I tried to not give into the trend, but you know how it is, resistance is futile and all that. https://twitter.com/CraftingGeek/status/1390751926875090954 So, I... Continue Reading →
Let the Guardian Games Begin
I know people of the internet have opinions about Guardian Games, but I had fun last year and I'm planning to do my part to make sure the Warlocks win this year. But, I wanted to give everyone a chance to celebrate their favorite class, so ta da! While you're waiting for the games to... Continue Reading →
Triple Threat
When I finished the emblem project last January, I really didn't think I was going to stitch any more D2 emblems. Stitching one would have seemed silly and there was absolutely no way I was going to try to come up with another 48. But, then I saw the Vendor Seasonal emblems for the Season... Continue Reading →
Emblematic
A few years back, I started with this crazy idea to start a weekly stitch-a-long project using emblems from Destiny 2. 3+ years later, I finally have compiled a list of all the emblems that were part of that project plus any occasional emblem charts that I made afterward.If you'd like to see what the...

Never Felt Better
After finishing my batch of Christmas cards and ornaments this year, I thought that there had to be a better way to finish off the ornaments than felt, a glue stick, and a heavy book. Imagine my delight when I saw Craftnik's video on Instagram showing off adhesive felt. I quickly went on Amazon and... Continue Reading →
This post is sus
Oh look, another gaming cross-stitch pattern. This time it's from Among Us which is, you know, everywhere right now. I haven't had the time to stitch this up yet, but I did want to post the chart in case anyone wants to tackle this. Click here for the chart No color key because, honestly, you... Continue Reading →
We’re Fall in This Together
Let's just be honest and say that this point isn't a surprise to anyone despite my half-hearted protests. https://twitter.com/CraftingGeek/status/1296539376642531328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1296539376642531328%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2FCraftingGeek2Fstatus2F1296539376642531328widget%3DTweet I was going to make my life super complicated by trying to do a bunch of skins, but I was like, girl, you do not have time for all that. So what I did come up... Continue Reading →
Be Well and Stitch
Over on Instagram, there is a delightful hashtag #bewellandstitch where a lot of designers are posting free patterns so that everyone has something to do during this time when we find ourselves social distancing/being under a shelter in place order. I decided to make a quick little chalkboard-style pattern. The pattern hasn't been... Continue Reading →
I Saw What You Did There
For those who play Destiny 2, you know that Trials came back this weekend. For those who know how I play Destiny 2, you know that I wouldn't play Trials ever. I'd hate to go flawless so many times that Bungie would think I'm cheating and ban me forever. Yeah, that's it. Still, that... Continue Reading →
