Harry Perler

I went to Amanda's last night and they had this Harry Potter perler kit to try out, so I got right into it!

They're so cute.  I made a Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw shield because I am a Hufflepuff and Allen is a Ravenclaw.  I played around with melting again but decided I still like the less melted look.

I Want to Believe

I loved The X-Files back in the 90s. I remember when it came out and I think we were briefly in Canada at the time, and it was always on and talked about but I never watched it.  Then when I actually sat down and checked it out, I loved it! So when I found this on Pinterest, I had to make my own!

I wonder if they will ever admit that aliens are here...

Horror Perler Art

 I made these this weekend.  I love to make horror movie perler beads and then came up with the idea to mount them on blood-spattered canvases.  Can't wait to do more. Maybe I can make some for my sister...


And of course, Michael Myers from the Halloween series

Sublime Stitching Ornaments

 I love Christmas stitching.  It's so cozy and makes me really excited for the holiday!  Here are some Sublime Stitching ornaments I stitched up!  Some are going to my mom and I'm keeping some as well.  


I worked on these at my parents' house since i was there for Thanksgiving, which for my family, is the official start of the Christmas season! I love some holiday stitching in the forest!




I think this one is my favorite!


This is what happens when I get ambitious and try to use fucking metallic thread... the stitches are wonky.  So, I'll keep this one.



I really like how this one turned out!

 This is my attempt to revive this blog.  I haven't done a lot of crafty stuff this year because it's honestly just been sort of a rough year.  Well no, actually, that's not true.  I have made a ton of paper beads.  That's basically all I've done!  I'll have to get some pics and post them.  I find rolling them to be very calming...


Anyway, I did these cute cute little stitches from Wild Olive's Teeny Tinies!  I did some of these on Halloween, and then made pins out of them last night.

Tiiiiiny Stitches

Now and then, I like to drive myself crazy by stitching on 18ct Aida. I know a lot of stitchers use it, but it's hard for me personally to look at for long, because my eyes aren't great on up-close details, and it gives me a headache because of my football-shaped eyebawlz. Here's some madness I did in October of last year. They're super cute, yeah?
I made some wee needle minders out of a couple.

Stitched Shroom Pendant

 I've been making these cute embroidery pendants and thought I'd try my  hand at my own design.  What do you think?

Itty Bitty Mushrooms

Look at these teeny tiny mushrooms!  I think I used 16 ct aida for these.  They are so cute.  Here is a pic of some embroidery scissors for scale. 




I made a little button needle minder using these cuties.  I love how it came out!

Plants V. Zombies

 I would love to make all of the plants from the Plants V. Zombies game.  For now, here is the Peashooter.
