This is a quote from The Phantom Planet, a delightful episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, which I made for my friend. The design is based on the poster from the movie. The best part is that I initially stitched it as “attentioin” and had to pick it out so I could spell “attention” correctly.

Skeletor Cross Stitch

My friend and I signed up for a meditation class together. It turns out that we’re both really bad both at meditating and at attending meditation classes. So I made her this cross stitch.

Star Wars cross stitch

Apparently I’ve suddenly decided that I cross stitch now.  So for Christmas, I made my niece and nephew Star Wars cross stitches.

Apparently I've suddenly decided that I cross stitch now.  So for Christmas, I made my niece and nephew Star Wars cross stitches.

When I put them to bed, I often sing Garth Brooks's The River.  The chorus begins with, "I will sail my vessel, until the river runs dry."  Alex made up her own lyrics: "I will fly my X-wing, until there's no place left to go."  So I turned it into an inspirational cross stitch for her.

Another song that I often sing at bedtime is the Rainbow Connection, from the Muppet Movie.  Sam is very into beautiful colors and he dressed as pink Darth Vader for Halloween, so for him I made this Darth Vader - Rainbow Connection mashup.
