  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!

Welp, I completely missed my last two #StitchPeopleSaturday posts. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So how about a late-night Sunday post instead? 🎃 This week, I’m bringing you Abbey! Abbey was an intern on my team at work a few years ago, and I made this portrait for her farewell gift. While she made lots of great contributions to our team, one thing she will always be remembered for is her prize-winning pumpkin! 🎃 For Halloween that year, Abbey took home the title of “Best Overall” in our department’s pumpkin contest with her “Bruce the Shark” pumpkin. 🦈🦈🦈 Abbey’s enthusiasm for the pumpkin contest that year is what got me interested in participating, too, and now I am a full blown pumpkin contest enthusiast. I owe my pumpkin contest obsession all to her! 🎃 After Halloween, Bruce kept us company in our office for at least a month (or two???) before he had to be tossed (RIP Bruce) and he was a great conversation piece! 😂 So of course, Bruce had to be included in her portrait - where his memory can live on forever! . . . #crossstitch #stitchpeople #findingnemo #brucetheshark

This week’s #StitchPeopleSaturday is brought to you by my dear friend, Stef! After expressing interest in learning to stitch, I showed her the ropes and she made an adorable portrait for her equally adorable boyfriend. It was so fun to see the progress photos she was texting me along the journey, and now, the finished project. Here’s the story, in Stef’s words! 👢 “I’ve always loved Lindsay’s stitch people, so I asked her to teach me how to do it myself! We spent a few nights catching up over wine and charcuterie and crafting, and slowly I picked up the art of #stitchpeople. This was my very first cross-stitch project, and starting with these little people was the perfect way to learn. I loved that I could put my own little creative twist on it!” 👢 “I love cowboy boots, denim jackets and wearing Mickey ears. He loves the Eagles (check out that tiny little Nike swoosh!) and wearing Santa hats. As you can see from the photo, this is us! 😊” . . . #crossstitch #stitchpeople @stefkienstra

Last night I decided to skip #StitchPeopleSaturday in exchange for another poll on my Instagram stories: would you rather see a stitch featuring a PUG or a SHARK? 🐶 The results are in and 74% demanded PUG! So, meet Addy and her sidekick pug, Zoey. This stitch portrait dates way back to the beginning of my stitch days a few years ago - I think it is the second or third one I ever did. 🐶 I’ve never met Addy, but my mom has worked with one of Addy’s moms for years, so I often hear stories about Addy’s adventures and how she’s doing. This stitch was one of the rare occasions where I stitched “just because” - there was no birthday, no farewell, no special celebration driving this one. I just felt inspired! 🐶 These days, for whatever reason, I rarely frame these portraits in hoops - I usually use picture frames. But looking at this one makes me think I should make more hoops. They’re so cute! 🐶 Fun fact: the polka dotted bow was unintentional. When I first glued the bow to the hoop, some of the glue leaked through the bow and made a spot. My elementary school art teacher would be proud of the way I turned the mistake into a “happy mistake” by adding glue dots all over to “fix” the mishap... LOL! 🐶 Another fun fact: this one was also featured in the “Finished Portrait Gallery” of the second edition Stitch People book! 🎉 . . . #StitchPeopleSaturday #stitchpeople #crossstitch #embroideryhoopart #embroideryhoops #pug #pugsofinstagram #puglife

Happy #StitchPeopleSaturday! 🐸 This week, I have frogs on my mind. Yes, frogs. You wanna know why? Because there was a FROG in my TOILET on Monday night. YES! I can't make this stuff up. It was a completely disturbing experience. But you know what is even more disturbing? The fact that it's apparently common. I've since talked to many friends who have also experienced frogs in toilets. How come nobody warned me about this? Ugh! 🐸 Anyway. Let's talk about the one and only frog I WILL happily welcome into my life... Kermit! Although I guess this story isn't really about Kermit. It's about my dear friend and former co-worker, Marissa! We worked together for a few years (although she's the type of person I feel like I've known forever) and I stitched this for her as a farewell gift when she left the company about a year ago. 🐸 Marissa is extremely talented and just an all-around wonderful person... which is exactly why she was presented with such an incredible opportunity not only outside the company, but outside the state! It's always sad to lose a beloved co-worker to another company, but a hundred times worse when they also move far away. I miss Marissa so much, but I know that she is doing great things, and I'm so proud of her! 🐸 Marissa is a devoted fan of The Muppets, which is why she is pictured with Kermit the Frog. I didn't have a pattern for Kermit so I just had to wing it. And honestly, I LOVE HIM. He might be my favorite cross-stitch sidekick of all time! Zoom in on his sweet little face. Look at his gangly legs. HE'S JUST SO PERFECT I CAN'T STAND IT AND I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING. 🐸 Miss you, Marissa! And thank you, Kermit, for giving frogs a good name this week. 🐸🐸🐸 . . . #stitchpeople #crossstitch #kermit #kermitthefrog #themuppets #muppets #jimhenson #disney #muppetsofinstagram

Magic Kingdom’s 48th anniversary has my head spinning! 🙃 I can’t imagine what the 50th will do to me! 😂 Happy, Happy Anniversary to the park that‘s closest to my heart! 💕🧁 #MKcast

Scenes from my #StitchPeopleSaturday night! I’ve been feeling under the weather all week, so I’m happy to just stay in and cross-stitch tonight. I’m fairly confident the person who will be receiving this stitch does not follow me here, so I feel safe sharing this work in progress before it’s complete (or could it be for YOU? Hmmmmm!) ... It’s my goal to finish this one before the weekend is through, so not feeling well should work in my favor since I don’t plan on going anywhere or doing anything. And on a side note, I am loving the giant, angled “cuddler” corner on my new couch, which gives me plenty of space to spread out all of my cross-stitch stuff! Why cuddle when you can craft? Priorities, people! 😂

I’m a day late with my #StitchPersonSaturday post since I was busy having fun with family in Wisconsin this weekend! But that gave me the opportunity to post a poll in my Instagram stories and ask which portrait you wanted to see next: a portrait with a frog, an elephant or a dog. Well, the people have spoken... and the people want to see an elephant! 🐘 This week’s portrait is one of my earlier ones, made as a farewell gift for my friend and co-worker Amanda when she left my team for a new position a few years ago. 🐘 Amanda works at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and was heavily involved with ‘Pandora - The World of Avatar’ from the time it was announced to the grand opening. For that reason, she is pictured with a giant blue Na’vi sized shovel from the groundbreaking ceremony for the land. The moon and stars (partially covered by the frame - boo) represent all the work Amanda did to help prepare the park for nighttime experiences around the same time, like Rivers is Light and evening safari rides. 🐘 And because baby animals are one of the best parts about working at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Amanda is joined by a baby elephant! 🐘 I stitched Amanda wearing a pencil skirt and striped top, which is an outfit she had worn to work a few times right around the time I was making this farewell gift! Keep swiping to see a few photos I used for reference... including the groundbreaking photo, a photo in Pandora and a pic of the black and white ensemble! . . . #crossstitch #stitchpeople #elephant @aceaseslater

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! 🌈🌈🌈
