This month's article had be researching all types of project bags and the kinds of things people store their cross stitch projects in.  I was really intrigued by this style of folio bag with little pockets for bobbins and decided to make my own! 

I pulled this unfinished rainbow EPP piece from my UFO pile. It was a free pattern by @iamlunasol but doesn't seem to be on their site anymore.  Or any quilting stuff really. 🤔 But it was there when I started it back in 2019, I swear. 😂  Their current art is pretty cool too though, so check them out anyway!

Anyway, I finally stitched the last few squares on and then applique'd it to some glittery black fabric I quilted for the cover of this folio. The pattern for the folio itself is from @what_saysie_makes , who... doesn't seem to be active anymore, but the pattern is still up on Etsy! And it was real easy to follow. Definitely recommend 🥰

So now I have a very fun rainbow cross stitch portfolio to keep a WIP on the couch for me to work on in the evenings. 👀 Or, yknow, if I ever leave the house for some reason. 

This is only one style of project bag though, so be sure to check out the latest article on my website for links and examples of allll sorts of different ways to store your WIPs!

Speaking of other hobbies... recently I finally fi Speaking of other hobbies... recently I finally finished painting the player minis for The Witcher: Old World board game. 

Well, I painted 3 of them, and my partner painted the other 2!

It was a fun change of pace from textile crafts for sure. :)

My bead drawer has gotten a lil out of control. I My bead drawer has gotten a lil out of control. I keep buying beads intending to make more scissor fobs... but I've got so much on my plate already I just haven't gotten to it. 🙈

I really need to set aside a day to just play with beads. How do you keep up with all your different hobbies.

And don't say you have just one -- I won't believe you 😝

It's pretty hard to depict that distinctive leaf shape and texture in a cross stitch, but I did what I could. 🤣
