Just look at these tiny pom-poms! Aren’t they amazing?! I’m tempted to add pom-poms to everything I own now.
Have you added trim to any of your finished pieces? I’d love to see!

As a Japanese American (Gosei), @maddow.bsky.social’s new podcast series is making me cry a ton - but it’s so so good.

If you have a person with Raynaud’s Disease in your life and you need a good gift idea: hand warmers.

Trust me.
Hand warmers. THEY ARE LIFE CHANGING!!!

Making a #CrossStitch as a holiday gift for my amazing doctor. That orange background MUST go though, I hate it.

Girl and Snowman pattern from thestitchpatterns.shop
A beige piece of Aida cloth with part of a body of a snowman cross stitched. There is a color cross stitch pattern chart of a little girl in a pink coat building a snowman with a striped green and gold scarf and a bright orange sky. Notations of colors which are being substituted are on the bottom of the chart.

When you embroider without a hoop is it called going commando? Because I think it should.

Making hats for a local chemotherapy center. Anyone have tried and true #crochet hat patterns they love?

Paid or free, either way. I just don’t want to give a whole load of the same exact hat.

Loving the excellent stickers I ordered from my friend Jim at Riversway on Etsy.

Three red stickers with a detailed drawing of George Orwell, beneath the drawing it says “Make Orwell Fiction Again!” The stickers are on a yellow book with a red fountain pen to the left.

My brother wanted me to go to dinner but I’m always self conscious. Between being vegan, incapable of eating gluten, and my many food allergies, it’s difficult to find suitable places. He found a restaurant where I ordered straight off the menu AS IS.

A gift for my partner 😂 we’re all adults here but still, I won’t subject everyone to my bawdy humor in its entirety. #CrossStitch

Pattern from www.etsy.com/listing/4349...
A cross stitch piece with the words “a house is not a home without a strap-on” stitched in blue. There is a tiny house with a lit up window and 6 pink hearts above it, and vines with pink flowers framing the piece.

The nurse from my doctor’s office called me this morning to schedule a phone follow up on Wednesday about about test results… I was the normal amount of anxious, but to be called when it’s the weekend and the office is closed fri-sun is worrying.

THE most hard fought pattern I’ve ever attempted. I am by no means a novice - even as a highly experienced crocheter, this is such a hideously written pattern. I feel guilty because I don’t like giving Etsy shop owners low ratings but this is a comically bad pattern. #crochet
