I'm making progress on my embroidery hoop, though it feels like forever between designing it and actually embroidering it. The quote is from The Greatest Showman soundtrack, which I have stuck on a loop in my head. It looks like a lot of blue at the moment, but those three lines are actually the only blue… Continue reading From Dream to Reality

Star Wars Day

Hot Pink Kindness
One thing I love about free projects is the variety of things that come, because it's always fun to try something new. Cross-stitching is not new to me in any way, and I don't believe sewing on wood is either, but it is still a nice change of pace. This kit came with Mollie Makes #89, my… Continue reading Hot Pink Kindness

Over the last two weeks or so, I bought three new books. Geekerella came from Book Depository, and I bought the Six of Crows duology at a local bookstore. I decided to get the Geekerella hardcover instead of the paperback because of the cover extensions onto the flaps of the dust jacket, and because the book without… Continue reading Recommendations
Soft Spikes
It was a friend of mine's birthday not long ago, and I decided to make her a little crochet cactus for a birthday gift. These French knots are cactus flowers, which I think look adorable on real-life cacti. The pot is stuffed, and I put a circle of cardboard in the base to help it… Continue reading Soft Spikes
Happy Easter
Happy Easter, my dear readers! If you don't celebrate, have a great April Fools' Day regardless. (What incredible timing this year, as it's also Fred & George Weasley's birthdays (from Harry Potter)! ) What have you done today - did you receive chocolate, spend time with family, prank someone? Anyways, see ya! FillieFanatic
Loving Embroidery
The Mollie Makes embroidery has had a lot of progress... The green really makes all the warm colours pop, doesn't it? I loved embroidering the little olive green stalks, they were so cute. ... that I finished it! It hangs with my other freebie embroideries on the side of my bookshelf, at the bottom of the… Continue reading Loving Embroidery
Blooming Embroidery
My newest Mollie Makes arrived not long ago, and I'd been anticipating this issue because of this beautiful kit that came with it. It's by an Etsy shop called Brynn & Co, who sell embroidery kits and supplies. The kit came with everything in the picture below except the scissors, those I've had for a while.… Continue reading Blooming Embroidery
Project Roundup
As it's pouring down rain currently, very little has dried, so I'll show you all some progress and some new things. This will be a Star Wars Rebellion/Resistance badge with a Last Jedi quote underneath. I also received this sashiko embroidery kit from a friend who didn't want it (thank you!), and at the moment, I'm… Continue reading Project Roundup
Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine's - or Galentine's - Day! I've been waiting to use that heart since last year, I love the sparkles! I believe it's actually a sticker, but I prefer it as a prop. If you don't celebrate, have a great day anyways! See ya! FillieFanatic
