Thank you!! I actually did a final fantasy one right after we got married by the same artist. I'm not sure where to hang this one just yet.

I've been getting really crafty the past year (well attempting). When I was brainstorming ideas for the wedding I kinda threw this together and I'm sooo proud of it. There are of course some flaws, but I've got 50 of these to do, so I'm sure I can perfect them.

Stitched up this tiny guy today. It's a quote my husband said to me when we were dating and it still makes me laugh

Finally finished this fucking thing! I lost interest in it probably a month ago and just wanted to get it done. Even though it was finished two weeks after Halloween. Also, not sure if the link will work but I tried to make a video showing my stitching progress. There was only 1 day I forgot to take a picture near the end of filling in the background.

I got a new canvas organizer thing from Amazon ($10!!!) for my cross stitch stuff and I'm so in love with it. I have an antique sewing box but it's too large to carry from room to room, and this I can lay out in my lap or across the table while I am stitching. Unrolled! For fun, here are the contents of each section: Section 1: -Dritz seam ripper -Cottage Cutz 2-in-1 needle threader -Travel scissors -Embroidery Scissors -Needle Minders - one homemade from a dichroic pendant from a local craft fair, one made from a Babypietattoo pendant -Tiny magnet set - I used this as a "minder" before I got around to making new ones. I keep it inside my kit now to use for my needle threader. I usually stitch with the kit opened in front of me, so it's easy to just throw the threader down on the magnet and have it handy -Needle threader Section 2: -Needle Twister (this thing totally rocks and I want one for each size of needles!) -Magnetic needle case -Assorted sewing needles Section 3: -Needle minder from Maggie's Minders -Hem clips - I got mine in a vintage sewing box from an estate sale. They are perfect for clipping back extra aida to keep it out of the way -Clover fine tipped water soluble marker -Snip-a-Stitch scissors Section 4 -ORT (Thread catcher) from Maggies Minders -DMC magnetic needle case -Dritz Fray Check with applicator tip

I made new needle minders! Also trying to switch over to a q-snap frame. Not sure if it's the super soft hand dyed fabric, or the lack of tension from the frame, but I kinda hate it.

The needle minders are amazing and I’m still obsessed with the stickers
