Mr. Schue, is he your son?

I got a few of my neutral items in the mail yesterday -- hooray! I love this cape!


Man, did I have a scare this weekend! My computer died. Like, died. It wouldn't even start up. I had an internal panic attack, because I use my computer for work (my actual jobs in addition to stuff like Etsy) as well as play. I don't know what I would do if I had lost it. Luckily my sister's tech-savvy boyfriend did some surgery on it and gave it a new heart (ie, power supply), so now it's up and kicking again. Bless him!! I hope some good karma goes his way.

I sent off my embroidery project to its recipient before my computer was back in the game, so I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the finished product, so here's the mostly-finished product!


In the style of my maidensuit embroidery, I did some for Freya of NaughtyPixie. The buttons came from a super-old tin of buttons from either my grandmother or great-grandmother, I'm not sure. I outlined the "Pixie"in red to help it stand out more, but other than that change, it pretty much looks like that. I hope it reaches her safely! The oval hoop I used in making it was shipped along with it so of course I'm fretting about it breaking.

I had nothing much to do while ol' compy was playing dead, so of course I made hats whilst watching entire blocks of true crime programming I am convinced aired just for me.

Here's a white one. In true Duggar fashion (continuing on with my "f" names), it's called "frost."


It has beaded flowers on it and also beading where the antlers are attached. The beads are glimmery and clear and slightly iridescent, and the ones used for the center of the flowers are all either pearly or metallic.


I am not sure if I will mass-produce these; the beading takes some extra time. I might offer them when I have the materials and yen as "made to order." I'm not sure yet. This is so wintery, but I'm still in the mood for autumn. It's not even cool here yet!

Glee starts up again tonight!

  2. Your embroidery is gorgeous! I love it! And the wintry hats are gorgeous, too! It's not cool here, either. Really it doesn't even seem like Fall yet except for that it's getting darker earlier.

  3. No worries, I'm super anti-spoiler! (Although I guess I am prone to declaring my love for ANTM-ers... I'll be extra careful!)

    Thanks!! :D Ditto here. I look forward to the day when I step outside and smell that autumn leafiness in the air!
