New Piece
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
Cross Stitch Jewelry!
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. We've been fine tuning the designs and hole placement for the past few months and I've loved being a guinea pig to help test them. I finally have started listing some on Etsy.

I haven't received my swap piece yet, but I can't wait to see it! ... Read More
Good news everyone!
This series of cross stitches was the first I made. I can't seem to find a photo of all six of them displayed, but there is also an old television. Besides the cassette tape and the mixer, I thought the patterns were lost forever. Yesterday Josh found them all on his computer. I am so glad they are still around, I just can't decide which one to start first. ... Read More
Update on Projects
I've been so terrible about updating lately. I have a growing pile of items I have finished and need to photograph and get listed on my Etsy shop. This isn't even all of it... I need to get on it. Especially before this baby gets here! ... Read More
TUSAL, Part 2
It's that time again, time to update on the totally useless stitch a long. I moved to a larger jar and it's starting to look pretty neat with all the color. ... Read More
