Cross Stitch Carping...
You know what really drives me way more crazy than it should? People who store their cross stitch floss like this:

Wow! Christmas in MAY!
Stitched what will be the back to my entry into the Just Cross Stitch Ornament contest. Of course... being me, I've actively sabotaged my chances at winning. For starters, a big part of the score is based on the design fitting the "christmas" theme. As some one who stitches multiple christmas ornaments each year, nothing turns me off quite like ( Read more... ) -
Sparkle, Sparkle
Tried out DMC's new(ish) Diamant thread and have to say... I was thoroughly impressed. Usually metallics leave you (me) cussing a blue streak.

I had actually kind of forgotten all about them until a coworker recommended the novel Good Omens (her words: slightly, okay very, sacrilegious-- ( Read more... ) -
There was a crooked (wo)man...
There was a crooked woman, and she walked a crooked mile,
She found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
She bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
Sometimes life imitates art. I am a crooked little woman. And I live in a very, very crooked house. Nothing is plumb, nothing ( Read more... ) -
Muckduck!
The idea for this was actually a text .gif sent to me by mistake. Hahaha! Inspiration from the oddest places.
You may recognize the quote if you are a fan of a show called The Office (American version). It's a present for a co-worker who will be moving shortly. *grins*
