Desert Bus approaches once again and the prizes are now up on the site, so here's what I was working on for about a third of the year.

This year my cross stitch piece is based on the MtG card art for Run Away Together by Omar Rayyan. I really enjoyed the Bloomburrow set and this image is lovely even if you don't know anything about Magic.

It took more than 250 hours of stitching and many more hours refining the pattern and selecting the right colours (and then pulling out colours that ended up being Wrong and replacing them with better ones, because I am too picky for my own good).

This will be a live auction on the Desert Bus stream on November 17th at 10am PST, raising money for Child's Play Charity. And if auctions aren't your thing (they're not in my budget either), there are a ton of amazing giveaways and a lot of shenanigans to enjoy too. For more info, check out the Desert Bus site. Hope to see you there!

Desert Bus for Hope is always the best week of my year. It fills my heart so much. They raised over $1.25 million for Child’s Play charity this year. Fun, games, wholesomeness, love for peoples of all shapes, sizes, and identities. They’re apparently going to do some sort of Mini Bus in May? Very excited :)

My craft for this year's Desert Bus charity fundraiser goes up for auction tomorrow!

It'll happen live on stream at twitch.tv/desertbus at 10am PST so maybe come watch even if you're not planning on bidding.

You can see the listing for it here and learn more about Desert Bus here.

Roughly 24 hours of progress on my project for this year's Desert Bus Craftalong so far, out of an estimated 180 hours. So we've got a ways to go yet, but I think this moon came out pretty well.

As is tradition, I'm not telling what the subject is, but that silhouette might look a little familiar...

Also, if anyone needs a reminder, today (May 27) is the last day of the Craftalong submission period, so if you're thinking of submitting a craft idea for this year, get it in before midnight PDT!

(Yes, I started this before submissions even open, because if I didn't, I'd never have enough time to finish by the deadline. Cross stitch takes a lot of time! Also I procrastinate working on the pattern a lot.)

Haven't been posting a lot of desert bus, catch up soon.
