It took forever for Amazon to deliver this…but it’s finally here! As I re-learn #crossstitch, I’m amazed at all the new artists and innovative designs. These are probably 2026 projects…but I wanted to go ahead and purchase it, to help one of the Canadian artists hurt by the tariffs.

My heart is so full this morning. I’m kitting up my next cross stitch project. I have floss…SO much floss. But I couldn’t find DMC 597 and 598. As a last resort, I looked in the bin of floss I inherited from my mom when she passed. Found both of them. Somewhere, she’s smiling. ❤️ #crossstitch

It doesn’t really feel like fall yet but I’m clearly in the fall “crafting” mindset! I’ve cranked out a stack of crocheted dishcloths this week. And even kitted out and started a small Halloween cross stitch project. 🍁 🍂

It’s been a week, with flooding at home and at work, a week long online conference, and several deadlines. I decided I needed a break from house trauma (and water damage) and worked on a craft project: I present my iPhone cosy!

I’m planning to try something more adventurous than tacos for Cinco de Mayo but wanted to also experiment with some new ingredients. I’m thinking maybe Arroz con Pollo? There are a lot of variations…any suggestions? Other dishes I might try? Suggestions welcome!

Why yes, I did spend my Friday afternoon off sorting floss! (This is not the main collection, this is the overflow.) #CrossStitch
