I went heart crazy a few months back and churned out a whole bunch of these. They are pretty small, the heart is 2"x2". I normally frame things, but I thought these would be cute in hoops instead. I finally got the hoops up for sale on Etsy. The pattern and some other patterns will be listed soon! ... Read More
This week I'm going to finally deal with the growing pile of cross stitches that need to be ironed, framed, photographed, and listed on Etsy. I would much rather spend my time designing and stitching, but it's a necessary evil. ... Read More
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.

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 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
The past two years we've gone to the Christmas Renegade Craft Fair. The first year there was a vendor selling awesome plushes and we got Evie one. I had long since forgotten who the vendor was, so imagine my surprise when I saw plushes and kits being sold on Fab a few weeks ago. The shop's name is MrSogs and they have an Etsy store where you can buy the completed plushes at the kits too. I bought a kit and I eagerly added it to my extensive list of crafts I want to complete. ... Read More
