  • Completed cross stitch lighthouse. This came out so pretty, can’t wait to get it framed.

  • It’s getting there. I’m going to have to do at least 2 more repeats in addition to the pattern instructions so that the whole piece measures nicely square.

  • I finally started up this peyote bracelet pattern I got ages ago. I used to do beading when I was much younger & I remember enjoying the repetition of it. This small bracelet section took about 3 hours to complete.

  • I was having too much fun and kept forgetting to take a wip photo. Anyway, this is basically half done now…?

  • Needed to do something repetitive & slightly mindless. I’ve been making up more bookmark & earrings designs – they’ll hit my etsy shop once I get nicer weather to photograph everything (it’s been pretty damn rainy lately).

  • Completed little gardener chickadee. How cute is it?!

  • On the homeward stretch now! Although the outer motif is making me cross-eyed as I stitch it 😵

  • WIP of the blackwork square design. It’s beginning to look so striking as all the elements come together.

  • WIPs of the batch of octogon bags. Some of these are mine & some will be gifts.

  • 48 pieces of a faux mohair/real mohair truffle themed personal teddy bear. This all took about 5 solid hours to mark, cut, and prep.
