I usually do these recaps at the end of the year w I usually do these recaps at the end of the year with everyone else. But this year I wanted to do a halfway check in. 

I reduced the amount of projects I'm releasing each month, so I've been feeling like I haven't done any stitching in comparison to my 'usual' year. But that's not true at all-- I've stitched a lot!  These are just the cross stitch pieces I've released publicly so far this year! 

Most are available through my Patreon/Etsy, but the Bill Cipher and the Pride Butterflies were freebies up on my Ko-Fi!

An then I've gotten a few other crafty projects done this year too. Just fun personal projects. I did some lil felt figures for my husband for valentines day. I finished up some crochet mittens early in the year.  I painted some minis for The Witcher board game. Finished up some UFO'd placemats I adopted from the local crafty reuse store a year ago. I hand stitched another EPP potholder. And of course, my sashiko floss adventure! 

Not pictured: a lot of home improvements we've been doing, including painting two whole rooms. Several gardening upgrades. And plenty of projects I've started but I haven't finished yet. 😉

This is a great exercise to do when you feel like you haven't been doing 'enough' lately... sit down and actually make a list of what you *have* done.  Chances are it's not as much as you 'wanted' to have done. But it's likely to be more than you thought! Perhaps just in a different category than you expected. 

The important part is not comparing yourself to others' progress. Instead, celebrate what you've made no matter how much or how little that might be.

I haven't had enough time to make much progress on I haven't had enough time to make much progress on this Halloween EPP project, but I did recently find this snack container at Aldi that I had hoped would hold all my hexagons.
Unfortunately the wells are not quite tall enough to hold the hexies vertically, or the top just pops right back open. But they do stack somewhat nicely flat, so I think it's still useful. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for better containers to hold 1" hexies? 🤔
36 hours of cross stitch in June. Finally back abo 36 hours of cross stitch in June. Finally back above an hour a day. Still not back at the pace I'd gotten used to in previous years, but that's probably for the best.

Work has been chaotic and exhausting. Life has been doing the life thing. And I am le tired.

Buuut July brings #Artfight month! Hopefully will get some stitching done as attacks again this year. It'll be my 7th year!

Anyone else doing Artfight this year? 👀
Just a reminder that jewelry organizers also make Just a reminder that jewelry organizers also make great floss drop holders. 😂

It's hard to see because I have stuff on that little shelf, but this particular organizer had a panel on the right with a wire mesh for putting earrings on. Instead, I cut a piece of cardboard that exact size, and wrapped a cross stitch around it with a bit of batting between and just.. slid it right into place. So it's a good cross stitch frame as well! Now I have my own floss drop shrine. 

Which is better, because I don't wear much jewelry. 🤣 And a cascade of pretty hand dyed threads above my desk is much more inspiring.
Oops I skipped summer and went straight into chann Oops I skipped summer and went straight into channeling fall colors. Hope you don't mind. 🤣 July's Patreon pattern is gonna be  this bright range of reds, oranges, yellows, and greens. I can't wait to show it to you!
