Just some 40-something who likes to make weird things. Also, I have a LOT of cats.
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.

Thank you much. The pattern is my own design. It’s called Forest with Bats Silhouette, because I’m bad at names.

Was hoping to have this done by now, but I guess I’ll share it for #wipwednesday. While not complicated, this is a lot of stitching.

Never worked on red before, and am trying to think up other stuff that would look good on it. Have a few ideas.

For today’s #wipwednesday I’ve got one more #halloween project. It probably wont be done by Friday, but oh well.

With the bookmarks I cheat. I searched “cross stitch bookmark fabric” on Amazon and these pre-edged ones popped up. Then I use a tiny 70x75 mm Nurge hoop because I have nothing else to hold something that small.
Fraying is the worst.

You never really grow up. Your toys just get more expensive.

What? It’s #wipwednesday already?

It’s been a heck of a week and it’s only half over. But my third #halloween bookmark is about half done.
