Sewing
I have been sewing since I was about 6 years old. I graduated from college with a degree in technical theater with a concentration in costume design. I've worked as a stitcher, seamstress, and tailor. I love to sew and it's been a valuable skill to have time and time again!
October’s Cross Stitch
I have been more or less obsessed with Anne of Green Gables lately, whether in the form of Netflix’s Anne with an E or listening to the first three AoGG audio books, or watching the spinoff series Road to Avonlea, so when I saw this photo on Pinterest I just HAD to use it as…
Autumn Wedding Ensemble
In anticipation of our friend’s wedding this fall I went looking for a “new” dress on my favorite thrifting website thredUP. I found the perfect autumn gold dress (for $17!!!), instantly had a vision for the outfit I wanted to wear and got to work! Since this was an outdoor wedding in October in the…
Allie & Ryan’s Wedding
Our dear friend Allie and Ryan got married on October 10, 2020! I hemmed about a mile off of Allie’s wedding dress and just had to make some accessories for her out of the remaining material. I also made the bride two masks out of different material, as she didn’t want a white mask, but…
More Masks
A teacher friend of mine asked me to make her some fun masks for her for when she went back to school. She liked them so much she asked me to make some for her preschool aged son and husband!
Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind
I guess this could be considered fanart??? I designed this cross stitch pattern based on a bottle of Smoked Maple Syrup from Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind. I work for SBFK and thought it would be a fun project to make and give to my bosses.
Black Lives Matter
I can’t believe what is going on in our country right now. It seems so inconceivable that in 2020 we’re still experiencing the level of hate and intolerance that we have recently seen and that we’re having the same discussions about basic human rights. I know that crafting a couple of things won’t really change…
COVID Masks
This is a strange time to be alive. Covid-19 is ravaging humankind, killing by the thousands and changing the face of the world forever. Thousands of people (myself included) have found themselves to be out of work because we are a part of the service industry and the service industry is all but shut down….
Eat Dirt and Die, Trash.
My second cross stitching project from Cross Stitch The Golden Girls! (Please see the Thank you for being a friend post to read all about the first project.) I love this quote so much because it is just SO Blanche. In this episode (Joust Between Friends, Season 2 Episode 9) Dorothy has been working at…
Kitchen Cabinet Storage – the Sequel
I made another one! The one I made a few years ago has worked out really well, but I was gifted a large amount of wide mouth mason jars this past autumn and there were just too many new lids to fit in the first organizer. So I made a second one! As of right…
