My nephew has been very into monster trucks lately so of course I had to stitch one for his third birthday card! It’s working up so quickly. Can’t wait to see the final truck! #crossstitch #crafting

I’m taking the @amtrak for the first time today, by myself, and the anxiety is unreal. I forgot how much I struggle with new and unknown things 😕

I’ve had an unexpectedly tough brain week so I decided to start a simple selfish cross stitch project - another mini monochromatic geometric pattern I drafted. It’s been just the mental break I needed 💜 #crossstitch

My wonderful friends got me NINE @libro.fm credits for my birthday last week! Now the only problem - which nine should I pick?! So many audiobooks, so little time ☺️ #booksky #audiobooks #librofm

I hope this isn’t a silly question but are there any lists out there of indie authors? I typically read historical fiction, romance, maybe some romantasy and sci-fi. Would love to support more indie authors! #booksky

I finished up TWO audiobooks yesterday. I’m up to a dozen this year already! Who am I?! 📚💙

We discovered a glass school nearby last year so for my birthday, I set up a private class with friends and family. Here are just a few of the finished items. So much fun! #craftsky #glass #smallbusiness

Finally had a chance to look at my @thestorygraph.com stats from February! In case you can’t tell, I was all about audiobooks last month and all over the place with genres - just the way I like it! I also usually have high ratings bc I’m pretty quick to DNF if I’m not feeling the vibes 📚💙 #booksky

Trying to access the #ArlingtonNationalCemetary website to confirm what I’m allowed to leave at my cousin’s grave but I’m getting a weird error message. Anyone else? #usgov #doge

Last year was a tough reading year for me, so I set an achievable reading goal for 2025 - 9 books. And then I rediscovered my love of audiobooks and hit my goal for the year on February 28 🤷🏻♀️ yay #audiobooks! #booksky

Really hope I’m not heading into a reading slump…had 2 DNFs and 1 I couldn’t even start bc of the narrator in less than a week. All books I was really excited about too 😔 #booksky

I was so excited to start a new audiobook last night but I (luckily) listened to a sample first and the narrator’s voice made my brain itch in an inexplicably uncomfortable way. Guess I won’t be reading that book 😔 #reading #audiobooks #neurodivergent

I read 5 books in all of 2024, so I thought setting a goal of 9 in 2025 was reasonable. Welp, we’re not even though February and I’m just one book shy of my goal! (Shoutout to the Margins app for this fun graphic!) 📚💙 #booksky #2025readinggoals

Got to visit a romance bookstore nearby today! I’ve never done a “blind date with a book” before so of course had to pick up a couple! #booksky

Making progress on this cross stitch for my nephew! My brother’s first car was a yellow pickup he and my grandfather fixed up 💛 #crossstitch

Leroy fell asleep on my hand the other day so therefore I could not move until his nap was done. Yes, the pets run this house #cats #adoptdontshop

The perk to no one I know IRL following me on here yet is I can share my #crossstitch WIPs without spoiling any gifts! Here’s a card I’m working on for my partner’s birthday next week 🐘

Question…does anyone else find it odd for a #mentalhealth practice to ask you to answer questions via Google Forms? This is in addition to 14 forms on their secure portal…

So glad I’ve rediscovered my love of audiobooks again! 📚💙 #booksky #audiobooks

I have a question for all the wonderfully talented #embroidery artists on here…any tips for long and short stitch?? I literally haven’t picked up my embroidery in 10+ months bc both projects have this stitch and I just can’t figure out. I don’t think my fabric can handle me ripping it out again 🫣😔

Working on a #crossstitch for my nephew today. It’s based off a pattern from Etsy but I made a lot of modifications, including the border design and having the pennants drape down instead of straight across. Really like how fun and colorful it is!
