one row and then another.

it is! i've finished about a hundred squares so far.

I respect a man who plays with plastic dinosaurs. this is amazing!

this is the funniest firefly mashup i've seen yet and i need to make a sweatshirt with this immediately!

that is the coolest thing! i definitely could not handle doing the ship, but i think a firefly quote piece is in my future...

I think you should sell these. I'm not as talented as you are, but I'd love one all the same!

I'm making a set of these for my grandma! I'm going to paint them, but I don't know what as...a doublebladed lightsaber would be cool, but my nana may not get it. Maybe those will be for me.

I'm doing this with just your tinsel tree as a towel set for my grandmother. The whole towel is lovely, though.

i love your additions to the sprites! i've been looking for a project like this, and you've inspired me to try needlepoint!

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, this made my whole gorram day!
