For #showandtelltuesday, I finished cross stitching this picture last night of a sea turtle on a cross stitching app I use called Cross Stitch World. You can cross stitch any photo on the app and it will make the pattern for you. I‘ve never actually cross stitched in real life but with this type of cross stitching, you‘re not pricking your fingers with a needle. My mom liked the birthday card I made for her for her birthday on July 30th.

This weekend, me, my daughters, and a friend of my oldest are taking a girls trip to see The Weeknd in concert! Me and my youngest have been making friendship bracelets to give out to other fans at the show. I made these today.

My cardinal from last week isn‘t quite finished yet…hopefully I can show it off next week!

Sorry for the bad picture I was too lazy to switch on more lights.

@Read4life ... what lovely birthday gifts! They feed all of my book-nerdy passions! The journal book is lovely, and the pages are so creamy-dreamy! The book cozy is adorable and will be perfect for my trip to Canada next week. And did you know I posted about looking for some pens for my haiku yesterday? These pens are AWESOME! I'm so glad to have found you here, my friend. Thank you, Lynn. 🩵💙🩵

I got these kits from a small business called Capital Stitch Co. It comes with everything you need to make it. Thread, fabric, hoop, bobbins, pattern stabilizer, & even a needle!

BTW thank you for all the love & excitement over this new chapter! I promise I will get to everyone's comments & posts as soon as I can ❤️

Made a little macrame charm, can't share a photo don't want spoil swap surprises.

Cross-stitch and crochet. They both require counting. Not sure what it is about counting, but somehow it calms me. I count a lot when I‘m stressed.

Yes, there are books. About 20 years ago, when Millennials rediscovered and revived the yarn arts (yes, I give them full credit), the tagged book was popular.
