She’s finally done! Had to make some color changes because it would’ve been lost on the fabric (don’t even get me started on the fabric).

This song has been stuck in my head all day and I couldn’t think of the name until just now.

The results this year were something else. I’m a bit confused on some of the placements but big congrats to Austria. #Eurovision

This is what fascism looks like:

Attorney General Bondi threatening judges she claims are not cooperating with Trump immigration policies and saying “we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

Another finish!
“Unfortunate Souls” by Forbidden Fiber co.
16 ct Love Potion also by FFC
Called for floss

This was the first time that I enjoyed stitching letters. The tentacles gave me so much drama - there’s a few flubs in it but oh well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My second attempt with dyeing Aida.

I collected rose and geranium petals to get this pretty purple color - it’s darker in person. #CrossStitch

Work has been super stressful so I did a little retail therapy.

The fabric and floss will be for Maggie Mae. It will be my first time using Classic Colorworks, so I’m excited for that. The fabric is much lighter in person - I wanted something fun to stitch her on. #CrossStitch

I bought this pattern the other day and I am antsy to start it. I’m trying to do a DMC conversion and wondering if I can get away with stitching this on Evenweave instead of linen.

Current progress on Yule Goddess by Tiny Modernist.

This is my first time using Pattern Keeper and I love it. However, I’m still having counting issues and messed up on the heart. 😂 I didn’t want to rip out the stitches, so I stitched over the errors with the correct floss color. #CrossStitch

Celebrating St Patrick’s Day by stitching with green thread.

I did the math and if I put in at least 100 stitches a day, I will have this done by July. We shall see how that goes for me. 😂

I finished March’s motif for #Stitch4Pride! I opted for a dark green thread as it gave me more of a dragon vibe.

She’s a bit wrinkly but I finally finished this! This was my time stitching on linen and I probably won’t stitch on it again. 😂 Not a fan. Then again, I probably should have gone with 24ct instead of 32ct. Live and learn.

I made the jump to stitching on a canvas bag and surprisingly it wasn’t too terrible.

HOWEVER, the bag ended up shrinking when I was washing off the water soluble canvas 😂

Pattern came from Cross Stitch Favorites: Spring.

I didn’t change my name when I got married for some very practical reasons but I never thought “so I can keep voting” would be among them
It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.
