TTMT #391 – UFO Revisit

In which I revisit my 2016 UFO List to see what I have left to do for this year!

I cut a long ramble out of this week’s video about the state of my foot. As you may remember due to the ridiculous amount of times I’ve talked about it, I had surgery on my right foot in June. My three-month recovery is now into the fourth month. I’m still having some issues that, while they aren’t slowing me down too much, are going to require additional physical therapy to correct. I’ll be starting that today. The hope is that more intense guided therapy will help complete my recovery and I can go back to my normal crazy-active life without quite so much thought for The State of the Foot! I’ll keep you updated, but will try to spare you the five-minute foot-related video rambles!

TTMT #390 – Baskets & Hobbits

In which I talk about the upcoming Silent Auction at The Linus Connection‘s Birthday Celebration, my spiffy, updated Hobbit-themed bathroom, and more!

If you’ve had any problems finding my patterns on Craftsy since the website’s relaunch, you can go directly to all of my patterns here. I have been in touch with Craftsy and requested that my direct link be corrected, so fingers crossed!

08 Aug Fav Things

In case you missed it, the original version of My Favorite Things Month 8 had a sizing error on page 7. If you downloaded the pattern on Free Pattern Day, corrected page 7 is below for you. If you purchased via Craftsy, that pattern has been corrected. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. (The first link sent via email didn’t work…this one does, promise!)

Month 8 – Glitter, 12″ version – Corrected page 7

TTMT #389 – Post-Travel Edition, Some Housekeeping & a Flickr Prize!

I’d love to ONLY talk about our trip to England, but I have some housekeeping to do as well.

First of all, Craftsy relaunched on October 1. They’ve changed their entire structure, including how links are created. Among other things, the permalink to the Sewhooked pattern shop disappeared. I’ve emailed them for help and hope to have it sorted out soon. In the meantime, you can still find all of my patterns published through Craftsy, including My Favorite Things, by going to my Craftsy profile.

Secondly, Google has been doing some updates to Blogger. Fandom in Stitches is hosted on Blogger. I came home from vacation to a half-functioning FiS. (Do you, too, sense a post-vacation trend?) The menus disappeared, among other things. I’m working on it as quickly as I can, in the meantime, if you can’t find something, please let me know by emailing the Fandom in Stitches Admin address.

I’m happy to share that The Linus Connection website has been unaffected by all this craziness! Small favors, right?
