Finished this @lolacrow.bsky.social piece a week ago. I used Diamanté floss three types of ways and etole one way to make the spooky spirit that outline and trail. I really enjoyed this one. #cross-stitch #crossstitch #crossstitching

This is how I figured my childhood dream of being an author was not for me. I loved reading, but didn’t have the love or patience for writing.

Thank you!!!! That means a lot.

Still plugging away at this shawl. Proud that I have gotten this far tbh. Still a long way to go, but that I am actually doing it and reading a pattern and all that is just a huge accomplishment for me. So I am proud. #knitting #knit #knitter #onlytook32yearstomakesomething 😏

On a cross stitch slump. But I just started knitting a shawl, I have never been able to start and work on a knitting project before. It’s not perfect, my tension needs to be better but I am proud of what I started ☺️.

Happy to see that the passion and dedication I saw in 2006 is still strong in @booker.senate.gov.

In 2006 in a gov’t class, my prof played us a documentary on Cory Booker and a race that he ended up loosing, but I was hooked on his passion. I went home and looked up Cory to see what he was doing and was happy to see him running again, which he won. Since then I have been a supporter.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

Started on this Joan Elliot “Celestial Symphony” on Friday, which was my birthday (woo…/sarcasm/). I really love my fabric choice. It’s perfect for this pattern.

Also found my rewards card and I was sooo close 😭😂

I found out a closed craft store I loved by me was actually ran by a cult. Learned while hand sewing the edge on fabric that I bought from the cult. So now it’s my cult project 😂. #crossstitch #cross-stitch #crossstitcher #crossstitchproject

Decided to send this to my Grandma in NY. It’s not set in place yet, and I need to stitch my initials, but just seeing how it looks in the frame. I think it looks good. Hope she likes it. Pattern by @stitchsprout.bsky.social #cross-stitch #crossstitch #crossstitching

When I saw they are now playoff bound I found it hilarious. Like really? But it makes sense with the record, but really?
