My cross stitching has slowed down, but I'm still managing to get a bit done during naps. I finished the tv cross stitch from the patterns that were recently unearthed. This project felt like it took forever, especially the outline. It was just so much of the same thing. So I started a new abstract one with lots of colors to mix things up. ... Read More
Time to update the totally useless stitch a long. Not a ton of change because there hasn't been a ton of stitching. Part 2 Part 3 ... Read More
So it happened. I gave birth to a human baby. May 29, 2013 Mira Violet Greco was born. 7lbs, 11oz and 21.5inches. Her birth was crazy and I will probably come back and write about it soon. But until then, baby! ... Read More
I finished a new project. I haven't been cross stitching much, especially not the more abstract stuff. But I'm pretty pleased with this one. I've just been biding my time, waiting for this baby to show up. ... Read More
At the Nido show earlier this year I met Jennifer who does awesome laser cut jewelry. I'd been wanting to do laser cut cross stitch pendants and apparently it's something she's been interested in starting to sell.

I will be posting as many as I can in the next couple days because I want to get them listed before this baby decides to make an appearance (which is hopefully soon!) Jennifer ... Read More

I've wanted to do a Phat Quarter swap for years but always managed to miss the sign up. So when I saw the reminder on Mr. X Stitch, I was determined not to miss this time. And I couldn't have been more thrilled when I saw the theme was "Blinded by Science." It took me forever to decide on a design, there were just too many possibilities. I kept coming back to doing the solar system on black fabric. Josh made the pattern for me and he tried to make the planets as accurate size-wise as possible. I haven't received my swap piece yet, but I can't wait to see it! ... Read More
