Well hey y’all… it’s been a hot minute since I’ve shown you what I’ve been stitching, and truth be told, I haven’t had much time for needle and thread lately. Life’s been a whirlwind—helping my oldest daughter after a bad back injury (lots of miles on the road between my house and hers), planning wedding details, hunting down just the right dress for said wedding, doing a little designing for an upcoming class I am teaching, making gifts Annie’s retreat,Taking care of one of our granddaughter’s as her momma gets all of her training done & orchestra room set up for Monday. Mia has definitely kept me on my toes!!! I forget how hungry kids are 🤣

To all my new friends—welcome to my little corner of the internet! 🧵✨ This is where I share my stitchy adventures, my messy-beautiful life, my faith, and a good dose of humor (the kind that all of my cross stitch friends get). Life comes in seasons—sometimes the stitches flow, sometimes it’s just feel like survival mode—but I’m so thankful you’re here for all of it.

So pull up a chair, grab your favorite drink, your favorite project and stay awhile. Around here, we celebrate the big, the small, and the wonderfully ordinary… with a few post along the way 😊💕

✨ Building memories one tiny stitch at a time ✨
It may seem like just a little thing… but these moments? They’re stitched right into my heart. 💖
This sweet felt elephant ballerina 🩰🐘 has brought giggles, stories, and so much joy — memories that will dance through her lifetime (and mine, too). 🌸

Because sometimes the smallest stitches hold the biggest love. 🧵💫

Thanks

💳 If you hear a loud noise today… it’s just my wallet crying.
It’s National Cross Stitch Day, which means I’m legally obligated (probably) to support my LNS, ONS, designer friends, fabric & floss dyers, and every other stitchy enabler out there.

Responsible adult? Not today.
I’m stimulating the economy—one skein, one fat quarter, and one pattern at a time. 🧵✨

Drop a 🧵 in the comments if your “budget” is also just a suggestion today.

Who would’ve thought a needle and a thread could stitch together friendships that feel like soul ties?

Some of y’all came into my life because of a little fabric and floss… and now I can’t imagine doing life without you.

The Zoom calls. The retreats. Stitching in public. Sitting in the living room, stitching with you & sipping on coffee. Sitting in my favorite stitching spot watching you on Flosstube.
The belly laughs. The deep chats we have between every stitch.
I count it such a blessing and an honor to call you friend.

To those of you who follow me on Instagram or my Flosstube channel—please know how thankful I am.
We enable each other’s stash.
We laugh until we cry over frogging disasters.
And somewhere between all the Xs… we’ve built something beautiful.

Friendships.
Not just regular friendships—but the kind I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.

Here’s to the friends who get it—the ones who never judge how many WIPs we’ve got or how often we “accidentally” start something new.

I just want to say: thank you.
Thank you for being you.
Thank you for being one of my stitching friends.

🪡 My sweet friend Laura designed this pattern if you would like to go snag one to stitch your friend.

Tag your Stitchy Bestie below and let them know they’re the thread to your needle. 🧵💖

I said I’d finish my WIPs.
I meant emotionally. Not physically.

Swipe through for some wildly accurate stitchy truths that may or may not expose me.
(And yes, I have stitched in a waiting room with a coffee IV and zero shame.) ☕🪡

Confessions of a Stitch-aholic 🚗🪡
Currently sitting in my car… not stitching at all.
Just thinking about all the projects I could be working on. 😅

Instead, I’m over here:
✨ mentally stitching 12 WIPs
✨ emotionally frogging something that’s not even started
✨ physically doing nothing at all!

Over here waiting on a friend like a patient little stitch goblin…

Should’ve brought my car project—
but here we are, making funny carousel reels for all my favorite stitchy gals out there

✨ Refined Like Gold ✨

In one of my favorite chapters from John Bevere’s book, he talks about how gold only becomes pure when it’s placed in the fire. The hotter the fire, the more the impurities rise to the surface… and that refining process? It’s not meant to break us — it’s meant to make us beautiful, holy, and usable in the hands of God.

Sometimes the stretching hurts.
The fire feels too hot.
The silence feels long.

But friend, God is not absent in the fire. He’s the Refiner, watching closely, never looking away, knowing just how long to keep us there — not a second too long, and never without purpose.

💛 Don’t despise the process.
💛 Don’t rush the lesson.
💛 Don’t resist the shaping.

He’s softening us. Molding us. Making us pliable and pure — so He can shine through us.

Let’s be the kind of people who say, “God, I trust You. Do the work You desire in me — even if it’s hard. I want to look more like You.”

Question for you:
What is one way God is refining you in this season?

🧵😂 So apparently… I speak fluent Stitcher.
Just out here frogging at 1am, surrounded by ORTs, avoiding my UFO pile while online shopping for my unicorn project.
Is this what fluent chaos looks like?

I used to think cross-stitch was just “X’s on fabric.”
Now I’ve got:
✔️ a STASH that could outlive me
✔️ a bug I don’t want to get rid of (looking at you, Stitchy Bug)
✔️ and enough emotional damage from confetti stitching to warrant a support group.

FFO? Rare.
Unicorn project? Still searching.
Am I okay?
…Probably not. But my floss is alphabetized and color-coded, so it looks like I have it together. 😂

If you know, you know.
If you don’t… run. It’s too late for me. 🪡🫠

How do you see God?

This week during my Bible study, I came across two verses that stirred something in me:

📖 Job 7:17 and Psalm 8:4 — both ask the same question:
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him?”
But the tone… is completely different.

Job sees God’s attention as a burden.
David sees it as undeserved honor.
Same God. Same mindfulness. Two very different perspectives.

It made me think—how often do we go through trials, face hard situations, and instead of seeing God rightly, we become accusatory or resentful?
We question His motives, His silence, or His timing.

But what if we paused, and held up the Word of God as a mirror?
What if we got honest—with ourselves and with the Lord—and let Him reshape our perspective?

As we walk into the rest of this week, let’s do just that.
Let’s ask: “Lord, am I seeing You clearly?”
Not through the lens of my pain, but through the truth of who You are.

💭 Be honest. Be still. Let His Word shift your view.

✨ Prompt: Is there a scripture that helps realign your perspective when you’re struggling to see God rightly?
Share your go-to verse in the comments and let’s build a little list of encouragement together.

🌈🪡 Thrifted Treasure + Stitchy Truth 🐸✨
I recently found a vintage Rainbow Brite book at the thrift store (cue nostalgic squeal 🎉), and I was so excited to see Patty O’Green and her mischievous little frog—Imp.
Y’all. His name is literally Imp. Like… was this frog born to live in my stitchy room?

Because every time I miscount—guess who shows up?
Yup.
🐸 Imp.
Leaping into my stitching space, reminding me it’s time to frog. Again.
(If you know, you know. 🧵✂️)

For the non-stitchers: “frogging” means ripping out stitches when you’ve messed up… because we’re sitting there muttering “rip it, rip it…” 😅

Moral of the story:
Imp is not just a vintage character—he’s my personal stitching gremlin. And apparently, a full-time employee in my craft room. 🙃
