So, the other night we were watching the season finale of The Simpsons, where Ned started dating Edna Krabapple, then at the end, they told you to go vote. Well, I went and voted for them to stay together, they would help balance each other out. She would help him loosen up a bit, he’d get her to stop drinking, ect. But also? Bart’s teacher living next door? SO MANY NEW STORY-LINES...

So, I had my Glee cross-stitch in my Etsy shop, and apparently the legal department at Glee was not happy with that.
So that sucks.
But it’s still over here currently:

With that going on I’m actually really surprised that my Star Wars one is still up!

Long time no see crafting blog!
I’ve been working on this one for a while, and it’s not done yet, still have to iron, de-hair and shove it in a frame, but I promised pictures to friends so you guys get some too!

Alright Cross-Stitchers, I need help finding some letters. I really, really, like the lettering in this cross-stitch here:
and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the pattern for the letters, or something really similar to it?
Okay, since about November of last year, I’ve been searching and saving cross stitch things I’d like to stitch up, for example:
I have 170 pictures saved, along with a text file full of quotes I need to make a pattern for.
But seriously? The last 2 stitches I did, did not come from that file. The pizza one, and the one I’m doing now. The Star Wars one was a mesh of a couple...

Alright!
Got it washed and ironed, just need to frame it, but I have pictures!
This is my first pattern made by me:
And yes, those are pizza hearts.
Cross Stitch is all done, and no batteries are charged for pictures. Which I guess is okay since I need to wash, iron and frame it.
Can’t wait to start on the next project which I already have ready to go, fray block is drying on the fabric, pattern is printed out, and now just have to wait for morning when I’m not falling asleep.
First time stitching on black fabric and need light...
Just checked my Joann’s order and it should be here tomorrow.
I have to say, one of the reasons I haven’t been stitching is because I’m waiting for my Q-Snap frame. I HATE, with the passion of a million burning suns, wood frames. I love the plastic ones, but they are like $3 a piece, when wood is less then .50cents. But I always feel like I’m going to break the wooden...
My items are still shipped!
Dealt with a killer headache today and didn’t work on my current project. Hopefully tomorrow.

So.
Joanns is still processing my order. I just talked to my friend who ordered from them forever ago, and she told me that it took them 2 weeks to process her small order of 2 things. I’ve ordered from them once before now, and it never took this long. But they have good prices, and I can get coupons from RetailMeNot.com for it (like the free shipping I just got!)
I think though, from now on,...

I have officially lost 10 or so skeins of black floss. I have 1.5 skeins left. No idea where they could be.

Score!
Was able to squeeze out a bit more ink from my cartridges. My tan looks pink and I can barely see the yellow but I know where it all is. So I can possibly get this done soon.

After 2 hours, I worked out the pattern. Unfortunately, it doesn’t match what I’m stitching now, so I’m putting that off to the side, possibly tossing it or removing the stitches (which sucks!) and reusing the fabric.
But, I do have a shipment coming in from Joann’s sometime this month, because it always takes forever to get anything from Joann’s, but they have good...
This pattern is pissing me off. I can’t get it lined up. I can’t make it even. I go crazy when it’s not even.

Ugh. Messed up on this damn pattern. Guess I made it when I was tired or something. Gonna fix it tonight, and I guess the first one will just be a learning one since I have the wording done already, not going to sit here and take all the damn stitches out. Really need to buy ink soon so this doesn’t happen again, Totally would have spotted these mistakes on paper.
Blah.

Right now since I don’t have any orders for the Star Wars cross-stitch, I’m working on one that I’ve had in my head for a while. Finally got the pattern worked out, the wording is stitched, and now I’m working on the best part, the boarder.
No pictures until it’s done though! After it’s done it’s going in the shop along with the pattern!

First Cross Stitch in almost 10 years.
So, I started cross stitching when I was very young, my mother did it and she taught me. We did the stamped cross stitch, I never thought I’d be doing counted. This project, was the first counted cross stitch I did, and the first time I started cross stitching in 10 years.
The past couple months I’ve been itching to do some cross stitch, and I knew I had to make something for my...
