I finished this during last night’s #bedmaking session. I cannot stress the fact that this card is sooooo pretty in real life!! 🤩 Design is by @butterberrycafe.bsky.social #crossstitch #xstitch #craftsky #gengar #pokemontcg

I’m still recovering but I managed to finish this gingham crochet mat for my bed tray! I know you can barely see it…😅 I’m hunting for shinies before Pkmn Bank closes so I need something to stop the multiple DSes from sliding around & this works great! #crochet #shinypokemon #shinyhunting #craftsky

No!!! 😂😂😂 To be fair, it is 10 ct and I have used it in other crafts before so I thought I knew how to use it! Then I didn’t have the right needles. Then I decided to do a full 6-strand…which was…difficult…to say the least… So I’ve learned some things and hopefully next time will be better! 😭

Me and my husband went on a museum date this weekend and I’m now in a flare. 🫩 But I finished this Stardew Valley Chicken keychain while I’ve been in bed! It’s my first dive into stitching on plastic canvas so I’m hoping to make more of these soon ☺️ #crossstitch #cozygames #stardewvalley #craftsky

Thank you! 💖 Trust me…I debated making her weighted but I think it would’ve misshapen her due to the yarn being really stretchy. But maybe someday…🤔

Tonight’s #bedmaking is working on this cute moth themed bucket hat for @cutecreepycrochet.bsky.social I usually make amigurumis because I hate making gauge swatches but then when I make clothes, I skip swatching and then complain when it doesn’t fit…😅 #crochet #moth #buckethat #craftsky

I know! I’m so excited but at the same time, it feels illegal to stitch on such a beautiful card 😭

Tonight’s #bedmaking is a new #crosstitch project! This is a commission from our judge at the local card shop I play at. Her favorite is Gengar and she requested this specific card for her design. Photos don’t do this card justice! The holo is GORGEOUS!! 🤩 #pokemon #pokemontcg #gengar #xstitch

In 2025, I had this idea of crocheting a sleepy Shiny Ampharos and then experienced burnout which meant it sat for a year until I worked up the courage to start on little Rosita. She's unbelievably soft and snuggly! I hope y'all love her as much as I do!💖 #crochet #amigurumi #craftsky #shinypokemon

Here's a sneak peek of a post I'm going to make on here soon. It's already up on my Instagram if you want to go check it out. Link should be on my profile (hopefully?) But it's a little hint to what I plan to submit for prizes to #AGDQ2027 😉 #crochet #amigurumi #ampharos #shinypokemon #craftsky

Today’s #bedmaking is me frantically making the final preparations for my upcoming market season that starts this weekend…😭 These little octopi will hopefully find a new home soon as well as all the other minis I’ve made so far! 💖 #crochet #octopus #craftsky

A breakfast tray sits in a bed with a crochet gingham mat on top. There’s various multicolored crochet octopi in different stages of development. One sits open with stuffing. There’s a few pairs of safety eyes and felt squares next to them and a crochet hook with a chunkyboy sleeve and a pair of scissors adjacent to the mat. In the background is a bag of polyfil stuffing and a fabric bag of yarn.

I finished my Clefairy card last night and put her in her rightful place on my Clefairy themed page in my binder! I currently have most of the page in my Mega Clefable deck but for now, she’s dancing with her friends!! 👯‍♀️ #crossstitch #xstitch #clefairy #pokemontcg

But I really want to share all the crafts I've been doing! I've done A LOT in the time I've been away and I think I'm ready to start sharing with y'all again! I'm also wanting to try new experiences and not let the fear of rejection stop me from doing something bold. I love the crafting community!

toe.beans.and.skeins @toebeansandskeins.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

So now I’m back into the swing of things. Pacing myself accordingly so I can prevent burnout from trying to gain traction in a vacuum. I even took a break from doing markets because I was soooo exhausted on trying to hustle my hobby instead of enjoying it!

toe.beans.and.skeins @toebeansandskeins.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I also got diagnosed with ADHD and being treated accordingly has done amazing things for me. Do I still get trapped in burnout? Sometimes but it's much easier for me to focus on tasks that needs to be done rather than start new projects.

toe.beans.and.skeins @toebeansandskeins.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I took a break from toe beans and skeins because the way I was trying to feed an algorithm wasn’t great for my mental health. I also took a break from crafting in general. I ended up doing more of my passion projects and finished a big chunk of WIPs that were lying around.

These curtain ties and coasters gives such a fall vibe! I’ve actually been using the curtain ties and they’re SOOO pretty and functional! It really *ties* the place together 😉 🧶 #craftsky #crochet #homedecor #fallvibes #falldecor

It’s officially fall which means it’s time to get cozy and roast some marshmallows at an open fire! How do you like your marshmallow? Toasty? Charred? 🧶 #crochet #amigurumi #marshmallows

A stack of crochet marshmallows on a table with crochet sticks in the foreground. The marshmallows are varied with one that is burned black, one is kinda toasted on the corner with a flame. The rest are plain white. There is a potted plant next to them in the background. Pattern is by littlebabyrorycrafts

I'm still here! I've been furiously prepping for my busiest season of markets. Which means that I'm either crocheting up a storm while bouncing around watching people stream Hades 2, Silksong and Deltarune. OR I'm resting my body while watching k-dramas!! But I'll be posting some pics this week! 💖

I tried to do things this week but unfortunately my computer needs a bit of TLC 😭 It’s just a matter of upgrading my SSD to fix it but I’ve been using her very sparingly to make sure I don’t completely ruin her! Things are fine! Things will be fine! (aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAA)

The dim late night interior lighting is evil as always but this piece is done! I wanted this to be a secret stitch sampler so I used chainstitch, backstitch, satin stitch, brick stitch, long-and-short, and French knots to recreate this 90s TV dinner extravaganza!
