Mostly, I want to share pictures of my pets and post about whatever crafty nonsense I’m working on or game I’m playing.

I finished this last night. 120 hours of stitching! It represents the “graveyard guardian” of English lore.

There’s a moment in every cross stitch project where it really starts to look like something. I’ve been working on this graveyard scene (I’m 70 hours in) and I really love it!

I lost my beloved boy Pippin earlier this year. I used his ashes to have a memorial mosaic stone made. It will live in the garden, in his favorite sunny spot.
I loved that fool of a Took so very much.

A gift for my bestie. I’ve been making cross stitching fun things on zipper pouches, and lining them with a fusible cotton to protect the stitches. They are really awesome and I should really make one for myself!

For gifting this year, I’m trying to make as many gifts as I can (and buying handmade/crafted gifts where I can’t). I can’t say how much I love these zip pouches I’ve embroidered for 2 friends.

I don’t decorate much for Xmas. But this year I decided to do a little. Grab the joy wherever you find it.

I’m sick, I have raging pms, it’s about to be the holiday that makes me the most sad, and I am supposed to cook dinner for 10 people on Thursday.
It’s not a happy time here. But my cats, who hate each other, are doing this, so maybe it will all be ok.
Or maybe I need to turn on the heat.

I adopted my gorgeous girl Eowyn after the 2016 election, because the anxiety and grief was overwhelming. No regrets.
