I promised you a weekly update, but guess what? I just got a finish, so.. đ This is the bonus design to Trick-or-Treat Costume Party Club by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I stitched it almost entirely as charted, but I had to do my thing with colours (that orange and purple look so good, I had…… Continue reading Time to wrap it up!
I had a sort of epiphany this morning, what if instead of dragging on a long draft that always needs to be edited into something intelligible, I wrote a quick post every week showcasing my progress and throw in a couple of sentences, just for the sake of it? It would be pretty manageable time-wise,…… Continue reading trying something different

We’ve reached the end of the month and with that I ought to deliver my bi-monthly report on stitching. Needless to say I got close to no stitching time, so all remained in the wishful-thinking department; that being said, I did get three finishes and an unexpected restart on an ancient WIP some of you…… Continue reading 2nd rundown post (bimonthly update on finishes)
In order to work on these rundown posts bit by bit, as the months go by, I am starting this post at the beginning of January and updating the draft until the end of February – this way I don’t have to wait for an hour of quiet time (HA! a mirage!) to write things properly.…… Continue reading 1st rundown post (bimonthly update on -no- finishes)
Now we all know I’ve been ghastly at this, and because time-wise the situation is not showing any sign of improvement, I’ve decided to do this as simply as I can and hopefully expand and catch up on bygone months as soon as my schedule allows me to. When life gives you lemons.. you write shitty TAC posts.…… Continue reading TAC: letter G
