One final round up for 2020: finishes & FFOs! I ha One final round up for 2020: finishes & FFOs! I had 12 between August & December! While I love them all, Santa & Mrs. Claus definitely take the cake! The designs are perfection and I highly recommend everyone do them. I also realized Mrs Claus’ FFO is a more extra than Santa but let’s be real, we all know who runs that workshop in an orderly fashion 🎅🏼🤶🏻

All photos are tagged with designer and/or where to find the pattern!

Happy 2021 and Cheers to a New Years Finish!!!! 🎉🥂 My #HelloDeerSAL by @caterpillarcrossstitch is finished and I couldn’t be more thrilled! I finished it this morning with plenty of time for a new start to ring in the new year. Now to decide how to FFO this tree (and all other trees Caterpillar has that I will eventually do) 🤔 Suggestions welcome!!

#topnine2020 🎉 2020 was the most bipolar year f #topnine2020 🎉 2020 was the most bipolar year for me. The highlight was giving birth to Jackson in April and watching this little man grow. I also started my Flosstube channel and made so many stitchy friends! Instagram is just a highlight reel of my life and I’m not going to shy away from saying this year was a major struggle, mentally and physically. Despite my depression and anxiety being the worst it’s been since 1L (2014-15), I have hope that 2021 will be better for me and everyone else who have struggled too. 2021 could very well be the same or worse than 2020 but I think the only way to approach 2021 is with optimism that it will all work out. So goodbye 2020. Thank you for bringing me a healthy baby and the cross stitching community. Please let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! ✌🏻
