FFXV, especially Ignis x Aranea. Just when you think you're too old for this, you get sucked right into a fandom again. I'm not midlife crisis-ing, right? Right!?

Hooray! My copy of Art & Design: Final Fantasy XV arrived this week and it’s seriously gorgeous!

Oh my goodness, I’m so touched! I came home to this beautiful gift from @idoru42 of the cross-stitched HighSpecs art she made 😍😍😍😍 I can’t believe she even framed it for me!! A post can’t express the gratitude I feel. I’ll be sure to pick up some goodies at KupoCon for you in December!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ And if anyone is interested in Sally’s work, please go check her page! She makes such amazing XV pieces 😄

I stitched all the blue again! This has been washed and isn’t 100% dry so the colors are a little dark, but I’m super pleased with how it turned out. Once it’s dry, it’ll be ready to frame and mail to its forever home. So fun!!

Thanks so much to @highwindhq for coming up with a cheeky dialogue box. You just know that dessert with Ignis would be mind blowing. More blue stitches for me tonight.

Last night’s stitching and tonight’s. I made some small changes to the scale of the table and chairs (too tall). Only a few more colors to add and I’ll be finished. I’m trying to decide if I should add a blue box caption like I did for my previous piece. “Recipeh for love” maybe? Whaddaya think?

This is a cross stitch design I drew a few months back that I would like to start stitching for HighSpecs Week. I can't finish it before the week is over, but damn it, I'm going to try! 💪 Eventually, I'd like to make one for each of my headcanons: Prompto and Cindy on a chocobo-themed date, Noctis teaching Luna how to fish, Gladio with his Cup Noodles, etc.  Stay tuned to see my work in progress.

I'm overwhelmed, too.

One time I took the boys to the cliff where that bennu from the beginning of the game nests just to take in the view. The second we approached the cliff overlooking Galdin Quay, they all dropped into their sneak poses. Check out how suspicious they all look! C’mon guys, can't you enjoy the view?

In my spare time, I also design cross stitch patterns. I'm working on establishing this as a business but it's slowww going. I'll get there, though.

I preordered this body pillowcase from @brilcrist and it exceeded my expectations. My IRL husband is super tolerant of my Ignis thirst.

My friend Kyle drew this for me because she's the best. Also, Aranea's face is basically my face whenever I contemplate a date with Specs. I would melt before we even got into that Rainbow Chocobo store.

It took forever for me to stitch up all that blue, but I love this piece.
