44 hours of stitching in October! Not sure you can 44 hours of stitching in October! Not sure you can tell the difference. 🤣
Just a lil pop of yellow near the top there.

Less than last month, but still averaging over an hour and a half a day!

Dunno if I'll get anywhere near as much stitching done next month though 🤔
Remember this Freebie I posted at the beginning of Remember this Freebie I posted at the beginning of the month? It's also a tutorial over on YT now! You can get the free pattern on my Ko-Fi. But you can also watch me make this cross stitch into the flat ornament pictured, if you'd like to learn how to make these yourself.

Of course a written version of the tutorial already existed on my website, so you might already know how! But if you're more of a video learner, that's an option for you now too. 🥰 And yes, it includes how I made that custom Halloween cording. 😉

Only a few days left of Halloween. But the autumn Only a few days left of Halloween. But the autumn coziness will continue on! If you'd like to keep the fall feelings going, how about this Pumpkin Spice themed biscornu?

Featuring everything you need to make your own traditional pumpkin spice: Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Allspice, Cloves, Cardamom, and Star Anise. 

Of course everyone's idea of pumpkin spice seems to be different. I know some folks that add Black Pepper, Fennel, or even Cayenne! Do you have a unique recipe for Pumpkin Pie that breaks out of the usual formula? I'd love to try it 👀

I realized recently that the selfie pinned to my I I realized recently that the selfie pinned to my Insta profile was uhhh 3 years old now.  So I just wanted to update it with a more recent photo.

I don't feel much different. Or arguably even look all that different except maybe deeper bags under my eyes. 🤣But that's just part of the aging process apparently.

But a lot has changed in 3 years. We've moved across country. My 'real' job is the same but I work day shift now (and I miss night shift SO much), and I still spend a ton of my free time working on this stitchy business. 

Making it a full time business is still a "one day" dream. But I've at least proven to myself it's possible. And I've done what I can to make the business sustainable. 

That's 10 years now I've been releasing patterns regularly. 
10 years of creating a lovely cross stitch / crafting community on Discord. 
At least 7 years of monthly cross stitch related articles on my website. 
5 years of printing thread labels for bobbins and floss drops alike.
All building on a lifetime of cross stitch creating in general.

Here's to the next decade of stitching.
Hope you'll join me on that journey! 🥰
A quick video tour of my office. Stay til the end A quick video tour of my office. Stay til the end to see it with the lights off!
Note that this is right after a big clean so it's tidier than usual. I'm human too. But there's just something about a nice tidy office that makes you want to share it. 🤣
