  Thank you, although I can’t take credit for the View Master pouch. I saw it on another blog and just had to feature it!

I'm Lindsay. A midwest girl at heart, living in (and loving) Florida, learning to sew one magical project at a time. I consider myself an "advanced beginner" but I still have a lot to learn! Thanks for following along!

Today’s #StitchPersonSaturday is all about Leah! 🧀 Leah is one of our dear family friends. We grew up vacationing together with our families in Northern Wisconsin - a trip that we’ve been taking for our entire lives, and still to this day! 🧀 Leah is so incredibly kind, smart and ambitious. I was so proud of her when she shared that she had just bought her first house. At the time, I was only a few short years into home ownership myself, and I knew firsthand that it’s not easy to buy a house as a young professional, on one income. But even more impressive, Leah had lots of renovation plans in mind for her house, and pretty soon we were seeing videos of her swinging a sledgehammer at the bathtub in her new house. Because that’s just Leah... she knows how to get stuff done! 🧀 As a housewarming gift, I stitched Leah with the “sold” sign for her house, along with her two cats. 🧀 I’ve shared before that a few of my finished portraits were chosen for the “finished portrait gallery” in the back of the second edition Stitch People book. Leah’s portrait was one of them! . . . #stitchpeople #crossstitch #homeowner

It’s unconventional for me to post one of my Stitch People before the recipient has even seen it, but, this also isn’t a conventional Stitch Person! This is the first time I’ve stitched for someone I don’t actually know in real life. Which, I completely understand may make me seem like a creepy person. But inspiration struck and I ran with it! 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⛈ I’ve lived in Florida for 13 years, and have been lucky to only experience the threat of three hurricanes: Matthew, Irma and Dorian (and Irma is the only one that actually passed through town). But regardless of its final path, when you have the threat of a serious hurricane hanging over your head, it’s all-consuming. The doom takes over at work and at home. There’s no escaping the chatter, and most of the discussion focuses on all the worst case scenarios. The waiting game can last for a week or more. To call it a stressful experience is a major understatement. A week waiting for a hurricane feels like a year. ⛈ During the doom-n-gloom waiting period for Hurricane Irma, my mom discovered Eric Burris - meteorologist for WESH 2 - but most importantly, an educated, NO HYPE voice of reason for Central Floridians. I’ve been following him on social media ever since. His daily “coffee talk” live streams were one of the only things that kept me sane as we all waited to see where Hurricane Dorian would travel. ⛈ Here in Central Florida, we were lucky that this particular hurricane kept a distance while passing by... but we didn’t really know that would happen, with certainty, until all was said and done. I’m crossing my fingers that we’ll get through the rest of hurricane season (and many more hurricane seasons!) unscathed. But in the meantime, it’s a relief to know there are people like Eric waiting in the wings and ready to cut through all the hype with facts and reason when we need them most. Especially knowing they are sacrificing time with their own families in order to do so. ⛈ I designed and stitched this portrait during the awful waiting period, where the hurricane was the only thing on my mind 24/7. While I will never love a hurricane in real life, I do love the colorful hurricane in stitch form! 🌈🌈🌈

Happy #StitchPeopleSaturday! 💛 This week, we’ve been preparing for the potential onset of Hurricane Dorian. Hurricane prep is NOT my favorite. It’s extremely stressful both at work and at home, and it’s hard to keep a level head when everyone is going bananas. 🍌🍌🍌 In the week leading up to Hurricane Irma back in 2017, I did NOT handle the stress well. So I’ve been making a conscious effort this week to keep the stress at bay. 💛 While I am not a yogi, I thought this portrait of my co-worker Andrea practicing yoga would be appropriate as we all try to keep calm and find balance this week! 💛 My favorite part about this portrait is Andrea’s hair. It ended up being so perfectly poofy that I had to remove the glass from the frame so that it wouldn’t get smooshed! . . . #stitchpeople #crossstitch #yoga #namaste

Bright suns and congratulations to everyone at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the opening of their new land today!

It’s #StitchPeopleSaturday! Instead of sharing a finished portrait, today I’m sharing more about the process of designing a pattern. 🖍 ✂️ ✏️ Last night, my friend Stef came over and I showed her how to make her own Stitch People design. We were having so much fun catching up, drinking wine and coming up with designs that I totally forgot to take a pic to share here! But since the supplies is still all set up on my kitchen table today, here’s a more posed pic. 😉 🖍 ✂️ ✏️ Some people use apps or computer programs to design their portraits, but I prefer the more hands-on approach using graph paper, pencils, scissors and tape. I also have a graph paper notebook where I keep all my designs in one place for reference, although it’s pretty common for me to rip pages out, cut up the pieces and tape them back in... so it’s a pretty ragged collection. 🖍 ✂️ ✏️ The Stitch People concept isn’t something I came up with on my own or created from scratch - it’s a book! Or rather, a series of books. You just mix and match the various hair styles, outfits and accessories to create the perfect combo and bam! You have a Stitch Person pattern. 🖍 ✂️ ✏️ Fun fact: the pattern that is showing in the pic is Dani, whose portrait I shared a few weeks back. The first version of Dani had her hair down, but I changed my mind and gave her the updo instead. I was too lazy to draw the entire pattern again so I just drew her head. 😜 . . . @stefkienstra @sketchbookhumor

It’s #StitchPeopleSaturday! Today I’m featuring a portrait I made for a co-worker (do you see a trend here? I make these for a lot of co-workers, LOL), Donald, when he retired about a year and a half ago. 🏰 Donald’s office was right next to mine, and he was one of the happiest and most upbeat people I have ever worked with. Every day he would walk by my office and chant “Lind-SAY! Lind-SAY! Lind-SAY” while pumping his fist, or, because I manage the communication team, he would yell “COMMUNICATION IS IN THE HOUSE!” I am not exaggerating… he did it every single day. And I miss it so much! 🏰 Donald is pictured wearing his theme-park friendly professional attire, which includes all of the appropriate accessories: straw hat, nametag, ID lanyard and trash pickers! And since Donald was overseeing Fantasyland when he retired, he also gets a rose from the Beast’s castle. 🌹 🏰 Like most portraits, I finished this one at the eleventh hour and only got a photo in low-lighting. I really need to get better about that. Not pictured: Donald’s name, which I stitched on at the very end. . . . #stitchpeople #crossstitch

In case you missed it... the Jack Skellington skirt has candy corn in the pockets! It’s unlikely that you’ll ever find this kind of magic in a store-bought, ready-to-wear garment. 💁🏻‍♀️ . . . Attention: @valerievioletvino #anywhereskirtmade #jackskellington #nightmarebeforechristmas

Jack Skellington skirt’s first public appearance tonight - at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Which was fitting since Jack hosts the brand-new fireworks show, Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular! The skirt was a hit and the fireworks were PERFECT! 🥰 . . . Pattern is Anywhere Skirt by @made_everyday, fabric from @joann_stores. #notsoscary #anywhereskirtmade #mkcast #nightmarebeforechristmas #jackskellington #memade #selfsewn #selfsewnwardrobe

Happy #StitchPeopleSaturday! This week, I’ve been obsessed with sewing skirts, so naturally I’m inspired to share this stitch I made for a co-worker, Dani (@sketchbookhumor) when she was leaving my team. ⭐️ Dani is known for many great things, but one of the most notable is the fact that she rarely, if ever, wears pants. Ha - not as inappropriate as it sounds. Keep reading! ⭐️ Dani is known for the full, flowy, flouncy skirts that she wears practically every single day. With a fluffy crinoline underneath, she can even make a graphic tee look fancy!💁🏻‍♀️ ⭐️ In this photo, I based Dani’s outfit off a special ensemble she had recently worn to a Star Wars event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The skirt looked like a perfectly starry night. ✨ ⭐️ Full disclosure, I typically finish these gifts way later than I should - like, way past my bedtime the night prior to the day I plan to give them to the recipient! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m guessing that was the case with Dani’s portrait too, since this photo with poor lighting was the only one I managed to quickly snap before wrapping it up - which means you can’t see the little fluff at the bottom of her dress, representing the crinoline. I really need to invest in one of those little light boxes for taking product photos! Or, you know, I could just finish these gifts in a more timely fashion... 😂 . . . #stitchpeople #crossstitch
