Lots of things have happened since I last posted this May. The pandemic is still on. I have a job. And I have craft supplies exploded everywhere over the house. I have started to do diamond painting. It is like cross stitch but I am sticking little plastic drils onto a canvas. Sometimes I don’t want to be stabbed by a needle when crafting. The unicorn called to me. It demanded to be made.

I was given a counted cross stitch kit years ago. I always have at least one or two projects in progress. My current oldest piece is a dragonfly in gold thread on black Aida. One day I will finish it (probably when the thread stops breaking while I pull it through). Tools and supplies Required supplies: needles scissors fabric (linen, even-weave, or Aida) thread hoop or frame Nice to have:

My state is under a stay at home order which means I have all sorts of time to craft now. I currently have an embroidery project, several crochet projects, and knitting stashed everywhere. I keep meaning to finish things but a new pattern is always more interesting than the mittens I have been working on for a decade. Completed projects Instead of showing off my current projects, I thought I’d give a tour of recent completed projects that better fit the current mood.
