I've been in love with Sublime Stitching's "
Dutch-Russian" set since it was released, though it took me a few months to cave and buy the pattern.
"But I already have so many patterns!" Practical me said.
"But wouldn't this look just lovely hanging in your kitchen?" Craft Addict me piped in slyly.
This argument went on (and often does when a new project requires new materials not found in my ample stash of supplies) and (as usual) Craft Addict won.
I'm very glad she did. This was a serious joy to stitch. I love the design so much I stitched it on both ends of the tea towel. There's something so happy about the bright colors and twisting vines, and the pretty little lovebirds. It even got a nod on
Sublime Stitching's Twitter. Hell to the yeah.

As if my dialogue between Practical me and Craft Addict me weren't enough, I truly think I have a sort of odd split personality thing going on. On the one side I love and make
horror movies, obsess over
freaky microbrews, and play
violent video games. On the other...there's the
monkey quilt-in-progress, stitched
tea-drinking bunnies, and the whole
pink cake obsession. Weird.
Speaking of those bunnies, I was thrilled to see
one of my Black Apple stitches get a nod on
You Can Call Me Chris, alongside some other wonderful stitching. I seriously love those baby onesies. Which again...falls into "weird" for me. Me? Onesies? WTF?
