Cross stitch framed in a dark wooden frame. The stitch says, “Remember: Bird watching goes both ways” and featured cross stitch birds and leaf shapes. Blue thread on linen aida.
A gorgeous green “Mom to Be” sash featuring white florals. Paired with it is a green bow with light pink heart ribbon attachments and a tulle flower centerpiece.
Green sash with white flowers, you can see the edge of an M peak out (white with pink embroidered border) and several embellishment options (pearl bow, gem flower, pearl butterfly, pink bow).
I added a medium toned pale pink around all of the white lettering saying “Mom to Be”! On a green sash with white florals
Taking the mom sash from above and the left side of the first M is embroidered in dark green floss (so hard to see!!) and the right is embroidered in pink (cute!!)
Sash made of a floral green pattern with white flowers that has “MOM” painted on it. Resting on top is a dark green bundle of embroidery floss
The floral green fabric with white fabric paint spelling out “MOM TO BE”
The previous picture’s fabric is now cut into ribbons! Two ribbons for each fabric. You’ll notice that I forgot to iron the solid color!
A light casts a yellow tinge on a beautiful medium toned fabric and a pale green fabric with little white florals.
Three black buttons: two large and one small
A pant leg of graphic white flowers on black pools at the ground as its too long.
A cornflower blue dress with tiny white flowers is tragically missing half of its metal closure. To wear the dress would be scandalous without it.
The Before pic. An empty white organizer sits in front of a sewing machine. Scattered across a grey table are a random arrangement of buttons, all in different sizes and colors.
A white tank top featuring the graphic from Big Trouble in Little China on the front. I’m holding it up so you can see that the arm holes are actually reasonably sized now.
A tie dyed shirt in rainbow colors cropped to become a workout crop top
A blue basket overflowing with clothes that need mended. You can see an interesting blend of fabrics from tie dye to small, white flowers on a cornflower blue fabric to a graphic white floral on black.
Gorgeous crocheted green baby blanket comprised of shell stitches with a scalloped border. Resting flat on handsome hardwood floors.
A stunning gardenia completely open on the glossiest, most lux looking leaves.
Cross stitch of Reptar from Rugrats. Just the head on white fabric in wood hoop. No back stitching so it feels dull.
Cross stitch in wooden hoop featuring a life-sized bee crawling across hexagonal honeycomb. The line work is mesmerizing!!
A book intriguingly wrapped in plain brown paper with two folded pockets. One holds a note with a scarlet pimpernel drawn on the end and one holds a beautiful handmade floral bookmark.
A very satisfying pile of all of the clothes I repaired and tweaked in this thread! There’s a Dalmatian spotted blouse, khakis, several tshirts, floral shorts, a floral skirt, and a pair of basic work shirts.
A black and a tan shell style shirt.
Dark grey shorts with giant white florals on them. There is a paper bag style waist featuring belt loops and a matching tie.
Three shirts in front of a sewing machine. One is bright red and is from a Juneteenth event, one is a faded blue and is from a biochemistry club I was in, and one is a white tank top featuring a graphic from a movie.
Dark green shirt with yellow text that says “Dare to be different” with a little four leaf clover next to it.
Dark blue skirt with white floral pattern. At the edge you can see a badly fraying hem and a zipper that won’t zip up all of the way. So sad!

Khakis tragically ripped a foot into the side with the hem also falling out
Off white blouse with black Dalmatian or freckle style spots all over it.
A blue basked and cardboard box are overflowing with all sorts of clothing items. Most are neutral colors.
Several spotted lanterflies on a branch, probably committing crimes. They are older juveniles because they’re orange/red with white spots and a black belly and legs. Sinister.
Small hoop featuring a stitch of a cute black cat lounging on top of an orange pumpkin. Behind the stitch, the thread fans out featuring DMC 3731, 310, 677, 741, and 740.
Flat Viennese Fingers but you can still see loose ridge definitions in the cookies and each end of the finger was recently dipped in chocolate, which is in the process of setting.
Sibling tuxedo cats who fell asleep with a stuffed llama toy between them.
A handsome tuxedo cat stares blankly into space while laying down on a blue rocking foldable chair. His cute front paws are hanging off the front of the chair. This is the face of a cat unburdened by the knowledge of tax codes.
The suavest tuxedo cat in the world looks directly into the camera, telepathically demanding that you select a physical book from her library, as she is surrounded by shelves of colorful books. When I built my floor to ceiling book case, I added a row that acts as a cat tunnel so my cats could hang out between rows of books up high. They love to gaze down knowingly.
Handsome tuxedo cat smugly lounging on the floor next to a crocheted tote
Cherry crocheted bag with granny squares in brown, yellow, and green. A speckled off-white thread brings it all together. But the REAL star of the show is a handsome tuxedo cat curiously looking up at the bag while he soaks up sun on a windowsill
Chocolate banana pancakes with maple butter dripping off the stack and pooling on the plate
The cutest six inch cake covered in silky chocolate frosting with shredded coconut sprinkled on top. It rests on parchment paper with a festive scalloped edge on top of a pretty wooden cake stand. The most important takeaway is that the cake looks delicious.
Stunning white gardenia flower beginning to open. It recently rained so all of the petals and surrounding leaves have festive water droplets on them.
Picture taken from the passenger seat of a car facing an intersection with the most lines painted on I’ve ever seen. Each side has three left turn lanes and they are all mapped out in the same color.

Small cross stitch showing the chemical structure of caffeine
Light wooden frame of blurry looking game over stitch on white aida. The blue effect is from stitching with multiple colors to make it seem like the letters blend out. Reminiscent of words on those big old box tvs.
Holiday sampler pattern on red aida in wooden and gold frame. The sampler contains snowflakes, ornaments, reindeer, stars, Christmas trees, poinsettias, and the words MERRY CHRISTMAS
