So this is my current project. It’s the second in my blackwork quilt block series (here’s the first one). The parallelograms and center pieces, are actually two different shades (one a bit yellow), and I’m doing the same thing with the blues. The ‘background’ will either be the dark green used in my first piece, or the really dark purple (154).

pretties!

I like Dex-Starr non-ironically. And I think, in his own way, he’s a good kitty.

Dex-Starr’s origin story breaks my heart every time I see it. He is the best kitty!

Exciting news! Our second collaboration with Dragonflylotus Designs is now available!

Liz has created not one, but TWO beautiful variations for the Spring Gradient design, using both Subtle and Vibrant colourways to compliment the original DMC threads (shown in the second image).

See the listings for more information on Liz’s cross stitch kits! Or, order the chart alone at the happydodo.ca.

To: me

Hello,

This is (representative’s name) from Etsy’s Marketplace Integrity Team. Thank you for your interest in selling on Etsy.

Unfortunately, some of the…

Reason 562 why I’m done with Etsy. I’m not selling there, and I’m not going to shop there anymore, either, since I know Etsy makes money on every item sold. I know that seems a bit harsh, but, for myself at least, I can’t justify buying anything that gives them any money.

Maybe if they were this “strict” with every seller, I could understand this, but the amount of resellers on that site makes crap like this a total joke.

Writer Greg Rucka and artist Rick Burchett just launched a Kickstarter to collect their wonderful webcomic Lady Sabre & The Pirates of the Ineffable Aether into print.

Let me repeat that. It’s a Lady Pirate. Written by Rucka. And illustrated by Burchett.

You can fund the book at different levels and in different forms with different swag. The hardcover collection, however is pretty nice.

That starts at $30.

Go check it out!

So excited for this! I did the $160 level so I could get myself the pendant - now just have to decide what character to pick!
