I made this cross stitch a few years ago spelling out "I love you" in naval flags. I never did anything with it because the plastic hoop I used to make it left a stain around the edge and I got frustrated and put it aside. I finally dug it out and took a Tide pen to it and got rid of most of the circle. I think I might frame it in a wooden embroidery hoop and list it in my shop this week, so stay tuned. ... Read More
When I came across these photos, I just couldn't resist posting the hippopotodock that Josh and I (ok, mostly Josh) made in 2009. It was, and still is, a thing of beauty.

Maybe I'll figure out something to do with it, there has to be some fun way to finish it. ... Read More
I've done quite a few variations of the cupcake cross stitch over the years, but don't have any that I've kept for myself. I've given them all as gifts. You can buy a copy of this pattern at my Etsy shop. ... Read More
I don't have a good track record for finishing crochet or knitting projects. So when I finish something it's a big deal for me. Especially if it's something I really like. When I was pregnant with Evie I made her this crochet Totoro toy. She's recently fallen in love with the movie, so she's really excited about this guy lately. ... Read More
Another project from 2009, I made this cross stitch to send to R. Stevens, the creator of Diesel Sweeties. This is the character Red Robot, he wants to crush hu-mans. ... Read More
Back in college Josh created the cycloptopus, a one-eyed octopus. It went through some different redesigns, but I particularly like this 2009 version. He looks very dapper in the tie and fez. ... Read More
