GS Essentials

Cross stitching has taken over my crafting world. In all honesty, I am enjoying it! I bought this kit off Amazon because it reminds me of the Lighthouse we have here.

It is perfect size project to start with for a beginner cross stitcher. Not too small and not too big. Plus, the hoop holder mount I got from Temu helped me speed up my stitching process. 🧵

Hopefully soon, I would be able to do the Epic Pokemon Circle Cross stitcher project.

I needed a break from sewing and it has been a while since I baked something from scratch. Since Christmas season is here, I baked Chocolate Crinkles tonight! And it was filling! The hubby approves it. ☺️

It felt great knowing I still have a skill in baking. 🥰

Time-lapse Sewing #6: DIY Pokemon-themed Backpack | modified version of Trekoda backpack Here is another time-lapse of me sewing a Pokemon-themed backpack. This pattern is designed by Country Cow Designs.Pattern Link: https://countrycowdesigns.co...

And here it is. My selfish sew for the year. When this was released in August, I knew I had to get the pattern.

My first by .lavenderandtwine and it is beautiful. Minimal patterns to cut and easy to sew. I did the 2-in-1 version which is the backpack and crossbody style. I see making more of this that’s for sure.

And another custom order went to its new home. I am glad that the owner loves her new bag. It warms my heart when I receive messages like this. ❤️

And this custom order has been picked up by its new owner. Thank you for giving it a home. I know this will be loved as I enjoyed sewing this up.

Another custom order on my sewing machine. What’s cool is that I can do this now without having to look over the pattern instruction.

And you can never go wrong with Spiderman design.

Finally, this baby is finished! I must have knitted more than 5 of this pattern, the Spark of Grey by .

When I don’t sew, knitting keeps me sane. Now, on to the next knitting project.
