I had such a fun weekend at Stitch North! It was so lovely to hear Jeanette Douglas speak, and nothing beats two and a half days of stitching.
Here's what I gave away in the Smalls Exchange. (I'll post what I received when I fully unpack.) #stitchnorth #crossstitch #CraftSky🧶

This is the first time in nearly a year that I’ve had my Cricut cutting. It’s well past time to get to work on Halloween crafts. #cricut #cricutmaker 🧶

As much as I love to collect books, I thought it was appropriate to borrow this one from the library. (Which I also love!)

My own version of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece is complete! She was much easier and quicker to stitch than for da Vinci to paint. 😜 She is a bit blobby up close, but take a step away from the screen and magic happens.
The kit is from DMC, purchased at the Louvre in March. #CrossStitch #CraftSky🧶

I'm still here, friends! Life has just been a big difficult lately. But how cute is this car I saw this weekend? If I drove, I would totally have either Sailor Moon or Hello Kitty on my car... or both! #sailormoon

My copy of Occult Strategies arrived yesterday! It is so fun, and weirdly profound too. I highly recommend it!
I keep shouting random prompts at my family. They -love- it. 😁

I love visiting cross stitch stores when I travel. Le Bonheur des Dames in Paris, France was so charming and absolutely filled with beautiful and unique patterns. More info in my latest blog post.🧶

It’s a damp and rainy day, so it’s the perfect weather to start a new cross stitch project. Any guesses as to whom it might be?
Clue: I visited one of the world’s largest museums two weeks ago.

First Spring comes in and out like a ghost where I live. Second Winter is here right now, but Spring will return eventually.
This is the March ghost from @livingontherainbow.bsky.social 's A Year with Ghosts cross stitch pattern. I really love how the whole pattern is turning out!

Still absolutely stupidly jet lagged from our trip to Paris, but at least I made a few cards this weekend at Crop and Create. #cropandcreatespring2025

How cute is the February ghost from @livingontherainbow.bsky.social 's A Year With Ghosts?? I'm a day late posting, but he was stitched in February! I did so much cross stitch last month my shoulder hurts! But anything to stay sane, right?

Happy Valentine's Day! Or maybe I should say Ghoul-entine's Day! These little ghosts wish you a life full of people who love you as you are, and whom you love in return.
I made these card using my Cricut Maker 3.

Sometimes it is fun to revisit beginner's mind and do a simple crochet project. Also, with all the snow outside, a bright red tulip is a reminder that spring is coming... eventually. 🧶

Happy Chinese New Year! Gong hei fat choy! 🎊🧧I’m cooking up some of our favourite foods to celebrate with my Chinese-Canadian husband and our family. And don’t you just love this happy fellow at our local grocery store?

A quick project from this weekend. Normally I usually stick to counted needlework (like cross stitch), but it was fun to do some embroidery again.

My first cross stitch finish of the year: A Study of Skulls from @thestitchcrypt.bsky.social . Unfortunately, the purple dye in the fabric ran and discoloured the light coloured floss. It does look kinda cool and antique-y though...

David Lynch's Dune had a deep and lasting impact on my life. His creativity and vision will be missed. (image credit to u/Theborgiseverywhere on Reddit)

I'm having my own little cross stitch SAL this year, all just for me! I'll be stitching one part of Living on the Rainbow's A Year with Ghosts each month. I'm going to make this a fun year no matter what!🧶
