I made some floss drops tonight 😊 #crossstitch

100 paper circular floss drops on a binder ring. They are in 4 different patterns of mid-century modern style and the colors are muted blues, pinks, and green

The 4 different patterns played out as well as the back of them which are in neutral colors. The patterns in front are in 4 different patterns of mid-century modern style and the colors are muted blues, pinks, and green

The 3D printed knitting machine is finished & operational. I wouldn't choose to use this over our commercial machines, but this is a *fantastic* example of what you can do with/for open source. 🤖 Youtube video with links to GitHub repo: youtu.be/eFesPhYR8KI?... 🧶 #DHmakes

I don't read horror very often but maybe I should. This book was brilliant. Combination of female friendship, mid-life crisis... and vampires! Fast paced, entertaining, and surprisingly relatable! 📚💙 #ebook #horror #SoThirsty #RachelHarrison #booksky

This is so stinking cute 😍 I started it (Holiday Glow) last February and finished it today (Feb 22nd). It's a Christmas design by Satsuma Street, but I think it can double as a Valentine piece too.

It's a finished cross stitch piece on a dusty pink fabric showing two birds nestled in flowers and shrubbery with 3 glowing lit candles in the background. The piece is accented by metallic silver and gold

I thought I would share a snapshot of my Spotify On Repeat playlist that they curate. I love how all over it is. It hasn't yet caught on how I've been listening to Turandot lately, lol.

Working on my TBR pile with the help of Libby. One as an ebook and the other an audio book. I added my Storytell TBR list as holds in Libby. Why didn't I think of this earlier! 💙📚

Screenshot of a book cover in the Libby audio app. The book is Little Thieves by Margaret Owen and shows a red silhouette of a young woman with a pearl. Behind her are two grey silhouettes of women with their backs to each other and there is a ghostly stag in the background

Last night I discovered that this pattern was off in Pattern Keeper. There is one vertical line missing. You can see it on the squirrel at the bottom. The squirrel above him is missing a stitch in his ear and a line of stitches in his tail and the seahorse is missing stitches too.

A cross stitch work in progress from designer Long Dog Sampler. It is the upper left hand corner of the design showing a thin black border with blue motifs, black animals and orange pipe. It's about 8% done

I couldn't resist putting in a picture of the un-ironed Irony by Hands On Design 🤣 This was my #NewYearNewStart piece and also the first finish of 2025! Stitched with the called-for DMC threads (which I seem to like) on 32 count Silver Moon Lugana.

Un-ironed finished cross stitch pieced that says "Irony, the opposite of wrinkly" and has some shirts and dresses as well as washer, dryer, iron and ironing boards.

Same as the previous picture but now the piece has been ironed.

Pulling back out my restart on Long Dog Sampler's Tap Dancer stitched with Missus Sedas Silk. Finished the flower (only had one branch left) and the woodpecker. Using a needleminder/thread drop from Craftie Emily. This piece is my #LongDogLeapDaySAL with a goal of finishing before next leap day.
