Today, Romano rose from the grave. He is now trying to figure out what's happening in this world.

Got myself a little cross stitch kit at the dollar store and I made this little fellow!

weeeeeeeelcome back people of many genders!!

it took a while because i went on a road trip, but my next twomp cross stitch is complete :D

iiiiiiits mr moon man!!

i even went to get more thread for this guy hes so demanding

After 2 1/2 months, I'm finally done! I'm sorry, Mr. Redacted, but merch is expensive, and thread is cheap. I also like being able to control how subtle a reference I'm making, and some of your merch doesn't fit that vibe. This is about 3 in x 4.5 in across, centered over the left breast of a jacket I've decorated previously.

(pleaee ignore the fluff. I don't have a lint roller)

I don't blame you if you don't immediately get the reference; constellations can be hard to identify. This one in particular is Carina, and the focus is on a particular star that makes up the constellation, Epsilon Carinae (that's the one above the fancy E)

[Photo ID: image of the constellation Carina matching the first image, with the names of the stars labeled /end ID]

The common name for that particular star, however, ought to be familiar (and not exactly surprising).

It's named Avior.

Soooooooooo happy first finish of the year/first finish for this blog, everyone. I read i love you, i made you tea and Can you see me? (Or should I keep waiting?) by @oh-snapperss and I've been rotating them in my brain at high speed. Something about their ethubs characterization really just rings true for me I think. It was, frankly, I big inspiration for Ethubs in Rift AU and that was in no small part helped by the fact that Laurie and I did start talking and both utterly ruined each other with those two.

So - I wanted to make something to commemorate that. The phhrase 'I love you, I made you tea' just makes me so warm inside, and this galax-tea that I found by SunnyCrossStitches on Etsy was just...too perfect for the combination of those two fics. SO! Here it is in all it's glory!! I really like how it turned out and now I have a minecraft cross stitching font I can use for all sorts of things as a bonus. And no one IRL is gonna know this is about gay block men unless I tell them, which tickles me to no end.

I don't know if I want to make a separate taglist for stitching versus writing but for now, taglist below VVVV if you don't want to be tagged for stitching/would prefer I make a separate taglist for writing and stitching, let me know

Made a bell bag filled with chocolate coins for my friend as a christmas gift, I'm so thrilled with this! The pattern is by Winter Kamas, it's free and you can find it here.

Does YOUR house have a self-destruct button? Ours does!

This fireplace vents directly into the attic. :^)

1am. i rise from my bed. i need to draw

[invinciblerodent]

This little guy is a test for my "basic" amigurumi creature/animal body shape, so far adapted to a teddy bear shape (with different ears), and a baby dragon (with a back frill and wings in progress!)

I'll try to write a beginner-friendly pattern so there can be more of them 💓💓💓

The moral dilemma of "I want to make things as accessible and affordable for everyone as possible" and "we live in a capitalist hellscape where my disabled ass needs to be able to afford to live, and I put a ton of time and effort into my art so I deserve to be fairly compensated for it"

buying ita bag inserts???in this economy????

[rosekicks]

Also since I have never posted a finished cross stitch piece on here, this is the piece I made for my bf’s parents last Christmas, currently in its rightful place on the wall

This isn’t my design, I bought the design from AuthorEmbroideDesign on Etsy but the design itself isn’t up any more by the looks. This shop has plenty of other great PDF designs and I’ve bought several of them before, I would definitely recommend them!!

Close up video of when I finished it but before I mounted it under the cut!

Her hair is up in a hairnet, and she is standing in front of a weirwood, and pointing at her direwolf Lady. Lady is sitting up on her haunches, looking at Sansa. She has a blue ribbon around her neck. End ID]
