This is all of me. I am a mom, disabled and chronically ill. I am a gamer, a nerd and a geek. I love reading, knitting, cross-stitch, video games, and sports. All my life I've had to hide pieces of who I am because of the judgement of others. No longer.

In just over a week my AMAZING community has smashed our goal for @stjudeplaylive.bsky.social!! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the month has in store!

I started working on the Starflower Blanket by Tin Can Knits. It will be a wedding gift for next year. I wanted to give myself plenty of time to work on it. The first hexagon is done and blocked and I think I am going to love this piece 🧶

#knitting #knitsky
A knitted hexagonal piece in light sage green yarn is displayed on a dark wooden surface. The intricate design features a symmetrical pattern of lace and raised stitches forming leaf-like shapes radiating from the center. The outer edges are defined by garter stitch, and the piece is still attached to the working yarn, indicating it is in progress.

Another mosaic update. My fatigue has caught me a bit the last couple of days so my progress was slowed down a bit.

#crossstitch #mosaic #quakertiles
A piece of cross-stitch embroidery in progress, held in a wooden hoop. The design consists of seven diamond-shaped patterns arranged diagonally on white Aida cloth. Each diamond contains an intricate geometric or floral-inspired motif, stitched in varying shades of green, teal, and blue. The topmost diamond is the lightest green, while the bottommost is deep blue, creating a gradient effect. The stitches are precise and evenly spaced. The fabric is taut within the hoop, ensuring smooth and even stitching.

It took me forever but I finally finished my Go Go Dynamo shawl! It still needs to be blocked but the knitting is finally done! 🧶

Stephen West patterns are always worth it but I sure do hate picking up 600 stitches. 🧶

Progress on the leaves from today’s stream. I plan to start one of the flowers next and then on to the sneakiness. I’m slow, don’t judge me! 🤣

I finally finished my Hobbit piece from Forbidden Fiber Co. It still needs a wash and a press but I love how it turned out!

#crossstitch #hobbit
A cross-stitch embroidery piece featuring a design inspired by The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The central text, stitched in red, reads, “I’m going on an Adventure,” with “Adventure” in a larger, decorative font. Above the text, there is a brown mountain with a golden ring at its peak, flanked by two yellow triangular shapes resembling tents or beams of light. The top left and right corners contain small circular scenes: the left shows a hobbit hole with a door and figures inside, while the right depicts a dark cave with a cauldron over a fire. Below the text, a row of small, detailed characters represent iconic figures from The Hobbit, including Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield, the company of dwarves, and Gandalf the Grey. The bottom left corner features a green circular door, symbolic of Bilbo’s home in the Shire. The entire piece is stitched on light-colored fabric with intricate details and a fantasy-inspired aesthetic.

Happy Gotcha Day to Rhysand. We brought home the High Lord three years ago and while he may be grumpy, terrified of people, and a gremlin, we still love him.
#catsky #catpics #gotchaday
A tabby cat with white paws and a white chest is lying on a brown couch, curled up with its paws tucked near its face. The cat gazes at the camera with a relaxed expression. The background is slightly blurred, showing part of a room with a window. Three people, two women and one teenage boy, stand close together, smiling at the camera. They are all wearing matching blue pajama pants with a winter-themed polar bear pattern and black shirts. The woman in the center is holding a tabby cat with white paws and a white chest, which is looking directly at the camera. A Christmas tree is partially visible in the background.

Only two colors left to go with my Hobbit-inspired cross-stitch piece by Forbidden Fiber Co. It was originally supposed to be for the 12 days of Christmas, but I am slow.

#crossstitch #TheHobbit #crafting
A cross-stitch piece on light-colored fabric featuring a detailed scene inspired by 'The Hobbit'. The design includes a central brown mountain with a gold door, representing the Lonely Mountain. Flanking the mountain are two circular designs, one depicting a pair of wolves and the heads of three trolls. Green trees, yellow lines, and other decorative elements frame the scene. Along the bottom, a row of small pixel-style figures represents characters from the story, including a wizard with a staff, Bilbo, and the dwarves.

I finished my first non-Wooble amigurumi! The only other crochet 🧶 project I've ever done was a granny stripe scrappy blanket so I'm pretty proud of this girl. Now she just needs to come to life so I can ride her and we can destroy all the evil happening right now.
