Potential

This photo from last Saturday shows all my cross stitch supplies ready to be put into use on a new and exciting project. I haven't cross stitched for over a decade, but it all came back to me quickly and I'll reveal the project I made very soon (just have to finish a few last details!). In the meantime, you can browse weelittlestitches' pattern shop and decide which pop culture pixel people you just have to make!

Thanks to Austen Gilliland of the make + do blog for the inspiration to post a crafty photo today!

Star Wars Snowflakes

My Yoda snowflake

I saw these templates for making your own Star Wars paper snowflakes on Apartment Therapy, I had to drop everything and make one. We're fans of both Star Wars and intricate paper snowflakes at this house, so it was a no brainer. Twenty minutes with an exacto knife, my back-up cutting mat, and a piece of printer paper and my Yoda snowflake was ready for display. Now that it has finally snowed in Vancouver (a rare event, to be sure!), I thought it was the perfect day to show you my snowflake. Let me know if you make one!
