If you have followed me on my social media channels, then you know that one of my favorite things to do is to craft up the neighborhood. Over the past year and a half, most of us have been under lockdown orders at one point or another which has made this concept a little difficult.... Continue Reading →
What’s In a Game?
In this house, there are no such things as console wars. Between Mike and me, we've owned everything from a Commodore 64 to a Gamecube to a PS2 to an Xbox Series S. The simple fact is that I just love video games. Today's post includes three charts. I decided to go with the older... Continue Reading →
These Emblems are SPICY
So, yesterday was Bungie Day and Tuesday was the start of the Solstice event in Destiny 2 which meant that a lot of excellent emblems made their debut. I normally don't make emblem designs this fast, but I guess I was inspired, LOL. The three emblems are Bungie Day 2021, The Brightest Stars, and Spicy... Continue Reading →
Crafting Up Your Neighborhood: The Library
One of the most frequent comments I get is something along the lines of "I would love to try to cross-stitch in public, but I'm scared that I'll ruin my project." This is totally understandable! I know that not everyone is willing to stand on the overlook of a waterfall just to get a pic... Continue Reading →
Week 3: Vigilamus Noctu

Sorry, But Our Princess is in Another Castle
Years ago, I made a Princess Peach cross-stitch pattern. Then, someone requested that I make a Princess Daisy one too. Unfortunately, when I had made them, I didn't know how to save them in pdf format which means they were in terrible jpg format. Not anymore. I went through and remade the charts so that...

Watch Out for Lasers
I don't really know what to call this category of patterns. They were linked on Twitter, but never made into a blog post making them, well, basically unfindable for the masses. The Forgotten Ones? Regardless of what they are called, now they can find their home here among their fellow patterns. Today we have Prismatic... Continue Reading →
Week 2: Judgment’s Right Hand

Week 1: Clades Orygis
June 08, 2021 Happy Monday! I hope this newsletter finds you all well. A couple of things before we jump into this week's newsletter. Every Monday, the newsletter will be released, but due to my schedule being unpredictable, I am going to send it out every Monday evening/night. Since I'm in California, that means for...
