Dr Mischief PhD cross-stitch sampler
I designed and stitched this sampler during my thesis writing breaks. The pattern of writing for 40 minutes, stitching for 8 minutes, making a fresh cup of coffee or peppermint tea, then starting again went on for months (and months and months and months).

When Mitzy first took Kofi-the-cat on, she was a tyrannical … Continue reading I didn’t know if I could, so I did #Kofi #crossstitch
