About Me

Hello! My name is Tish. I'm 28 years old. I'm a mother and a wife, I'm a true jack-of-all-crafts; I am an aspiring author who spends a lot of her free time writing. Off and on I run my own business as a jewelry designer. I'm also a compulsive crafter. I love to knit, crochet, spin, sew, quilt, and cross stitch, among a few other random craft projects. I'm addicted to coffee, especially of the iced mocha variety; I love music, playing violin, binge-watching my favorite shows on Netflix, anything paranormal, reading (of course), and I get a strange satisfaction out of having way too much on my plate at all times.

Another rough day; better than yesterday, but definitely not a good pain day. At least I managed a blog post. I wanted to work on a project for fun tonight instead of working on something I felt pressure to make progress on. So I pulled out my Christmas Dollhouse project. I love this little chart so much.

Current mood - 💯%. Didn't feel half bad this morning; now I'm a wreck. Can't do anything, can't even write a blog post; cross stitching is just getting me by as a distraction. I don't miss the power painkillers had over me, but I miss the times like tonight they helped me handle the worst of it. Over the counter is just not enough to fight this. Chronic illness sucks right now; I just gotta try to remember I've made it through many nights like this before, even when I didn't think I would. #chronic #chronicillness #fibromyalgia #arthritis #pain

My version of Netflix and chill. Breaking Bad + cross stitch = odd combo but my recipe for a bad day. For now I'm off to lock myself away in my craft dungeon to edit some more of my book in peace like I intended today. But I'll come back to this tonight, I'd like to finally get past this top bookshelf border on this project.

All of a sudden I want to stitch all the things - mostly cats because I've been talking a lot about our cats with a crafty pen pal. Two of these I haven't even started; I just have way too many WIPs, and I'm not sure I can handle another. But I have the urge for something a little different. Decisions, decisions...

4th day progress. I didn't stitch for about four days because I was really sick and couldn't muster the energy to do anything. Second pic shows my progress after today; it doesn't look like much work but it's almost another 300 stitches. So ready to get all that white done, and dreading all the one-color brown at the bottom, but I think I can start on the beads soon.

By the way, it's freezing (almost literally) here. Maybe it's no wonder I'm feeling so terrible right now. I miss the brief respite of fall-like 70* weather. 💔🤕😧

Day 2 on "Dandelions" by Curly Girl Designs, sent to me by a friend. Over 300 stitches in already. Haven't done a lot of stitching today because I messed up my neck something horrible and hurt a lot. But I'm really enjoying it. The only thing I don't enjoy is I wish I had a larger q-snap; this doesn't give me access to a large stitching area and my fabric really gets in the way.

A dear friend sent me this #curlygirldesigns #crossstitch kit just because she thought of me when she saw it. I couldn't help but set it up as soon as I could (even though I have 5,000 other #wips already). It's beaded with #millhill beads, which is one of my favorite things to stitch. And I absolutely must have the "Sparkle" design in this series to match now, for my craft room. Can't wait to finish it, frame, and find the best wall spot for it.

The tiny writer that resides in my heart weeps for our society then explodes. Please tell me this is a joke - that Apple products are not so pervasive in our culture now that people forgot "I" is normally capitalized. (And does not only preface nouns like phone, watch, and pad.) I'm not normally a fan of policing grammar/capitalization/punctuation/spelling/etc but this just makes me HURT! 😂😛

Hello, new neighbor. Walked outside to find this guy making his home by my door. He even stopped long enough to strike a pose for me. I turned long enough to reply to a text and...he's disappeared. Burning my house down as we speak.

I disappeared for a while off the social media radar/blogosphere. But I've posted for the first time in 9 months, hoping to bring the blog back to keep talking about chronic illness and using crafts and hobbies to cope. I hope I can keep it going in between my writing and crafting life, so we'll see!

Small finish tonight while still working through some writer's block (think I got it finally!). Mini Hope Ribbon by #janlynn. The frame was provided, but I think I'll wait to fully finish when I decide what to do with my Breast Cancer Ribbon Mandala. Just glad to have finished stitching something in 2017! (Colors are a bit off because of my filter.) #crossstitch #crossstitching #crossstitchers #crossstitchersofig #crossstitchersofinstagram #wips #stitching #latenightstitching #writersblockstitching
