Lady Geek Out Recomends: Hancock's House of Happy

As you may have found out on Monday, I enjoy a little cross stitch now and then! I'm still pretty new to the hobby, but here's one cross stitch pattern designer I've discovered that I love.

I'm pretty sure I want to make almost every cross stitch pattern from Hancock's House of Happy. There's a great combination of Kawaii, Geeky and a little bit more traditional patterns. The best part? Loads of them are 100% free! There's a few of the more complex ones that are $2 on Craftsy, but there are tons of free ones to start with. That said, be sure to stop by the designer's Craftsy and Etsy shops! The Craftsy shop includes the free patterns as well. The Etsy shop features sculptures which are pretty cute.

Unfortunately, due to legal-ness, I can't post the charts directly, but follow the links and you'll see what I mean.

Kawaii:

Coffee Time

Just My Cup of Tea

We All Scream for Ice Cream

Geeky:

Kill All Humans

Hello Sweetie - This is going to be my next project!

Achievement Unlocked

Trick Or Treat Daleks

Bowties Are Cool

Gamer Monday: Nindento Cross Stitch

This week I'm combining my Gamer Monday post with the Gadabout Gamers feature by Gamerwife. This month's topic was NEStalgia, featuring the NES. When I was very small, my (much) older brothers had a NES (or possibly a SNES), but it was gone from the house by the time I was old enough to really want to play. Although I have some very fond memories of playing Duck Hunter!

For my post, I decided to combine gaming with one of my many other hobbies: cross stitch! So here it is! My NES controller cross stitch!

I haven't completetly decided what it's final purpose will be (the hardest part of cross stitch), but I think I'll turn it into a bookmark! For use in yet another of my hobbies!
