Just some 40-something who likes to make weird things. Also, I have a LOT of cats.
At least your last 18 was super bright, cute, and colorful. I’m grateful I can still work on 14 count.

These three fruity ones are not my original designs, but are assembled out of bits and pieces from patterns I inherited from my grandmother. It’s one of the projects I used to learn how to use PCStitch in the first place.

I like the way you did the edging, but miss being able to work on 18 count.

Yes, it took weeks, but I did finish the pattern for that mushroom covered stump house. Stitching time will depend on how distracted I get by more bookmarks and little guys.

Mothman has a great winter palette.

Here’s a partly finished bookmark from the Spellbound Stitches collab. It’s Little Grey Cells from Darling & Whimsy Designs. Whenever my dice let me finish this, I’ll start assembling a bunch of bookmarks.

I’ll share my progress on this one today. I swear there will be a dragon; just need to finish the bookcase first. And work on three or four other projects…

I had to take a couple of weeks off, not entirely by choice. So to get something done between bigger projects I started making a little guy. My son says he looks like a fakemon.

Supposed to be Christmas stitching. Instead, I’m designing a new pattern. Also, obligatory fuck AI, I made this myself.

Plus tweezers, for the specialty fibers.

I’ve spent the last 2 weeks assembling something I finished, instead of letting it languish in a box for years. But it’s not ready yet. So here’s the start of something from the Echo and Mine Etsy shop.

Pie making and babysitting today, but I’ve still got something for #wipwednesday. More dragon, or at least his bookshelf.

Thank you. I should have provided that link.

I’m not good at this; I’m old enough to remember before the internet existed.

You did the hard part. All I did was come along and say “That’s cute. I want to stitch it.”

Started a Spellbound Stitches bookmark for #wipwednesday. My math rocks chose Otters in Love by Samantha Lane. I love it.

There’s still time to support this charity.

Say it was done that way on purpose. The mottling color change is what makes it unique. Stitch it again with the same floss and it will still be different.

That’s really cute, and I definitely understand the need to toss in smaller things in during big projects. Is that variegated floss, or just A LOT of color changes?

Will be starting some charity bookmarks soon, but I wanted to do a little more on this first. Felt the need to do a lot of color changes.
