I'm always partial to a good rainbow! I am curious I'm always partial to a good rainbow! I am curious though, do you prefer a bold vibrant rainbow or a more subtle muted/pastel rainbow? 

I'm kinda leaning pastel rn. But here's both palettes in case you need it to start planning your Pride projects for this year. ;)

Bold: 666, 970, 973, 700, 3843, 3837
Pastel: 3831, 722, 727, 519, 913, 155

Not only have I put together a mega list of free p Not only have I put together a mega list of free project bag tutorials, paid project bag patterns, and pre-made bags you can buy from other makers... I also put together a YouTube video about bags and a vlog of making this very bag!

It's not a tutorial since the pattern for this bag is actually by @what_saysie_makes and she deserves ALL the credit. But hopefully it's a fun look at some of the other bags I use regularly to keep my current cross stitch and other craft projects in as well. ;)

There's a tutorial for you over on my website and on YouTube if you'd love to make one yourself!  Bonus points if you use Styrofoam that came as packaging material in a shipment that you're now keeping out of the landfill 😉

If you have a Cone of Doom, how do you store it? 🤔 If you have a Cone of Doom, how do you store it? 🤔 I keep it on one of those spinny yarn holders on the top of this shelf right above my desk where I do most of my stitching. So any time I need some 310 I just reach right over my monitor and  pull down a strand of whatever length I want 👀

I used to keep it ON my desk right behind said monitor but it... was collecting quite a bit of cat hair down there, so I moved it up higher.

Where do you keep yours?
