That's a nice question... how much space do you have for me to answer ? Keeping it short:

Furniture projects;
- I'm revamping an old wood trunk
- and stitching on four pillow cases using about twenty different techniques in a homemade Kenzo-style (fun, but looooooooong project)

Knitting and sewing projects:
- I'm knitting a baby blanket for a friend, and will be sewing a cute patterned fabric on it.
- and am also in the middle of sewing some pyjamas for her kid
- I may one day finish my knitted teddy bear. Dream on, Loora...

Stitching projects
- I'm about 70% finished on the first world of Mario 3. I hope to finish it in a few days.
- However, the project for this month's contest is still on the drawing boards
- I have a hankerchief I want to finish. I used this project to test the reversible cross-stitch technique, and it was so hard I put it away. Hint: if you try this technique, use aida...

Crochet project
- Right now, I'm designing crocheted toys for my cat to play with. I want to stuff them with catnip. I'm thinking simple balls with stitched details. Imagining my cat playing my Spock's crocheted head is just... well... crazy ? great ?

Love to see what everyone is working on ! :clap:

One very large Incredible Hulk cross stitch. It's testing me. I just don't have the strength for massive projects.

I would be good to see the incredible hulk cross stitch. My brother is in to comic books.
Right now I am working on a cross stitch project for a wedding gift. It has three pink roses in the middle and two doves at the top. A place to put bride and groom's names and wedding date.

I'm posting updates on a roughly weekly basis on Flickr and on my own site. Flickr's a bit more fun because you can watch a slideshow of the stitch in progress.

I just completed what I'm going to make of the Tiny Toons perler bead characters. Check those out by the way. I have a zig zag pattern blanket I started crocheting that's rainbow colored with white in between each color. I have a cross stitch project started...actually 2 of them. One is of Funshine bear and one is of Raggedy Ann and Andy. The Raggedy Ann and Andy one is rather large and I've put if off too long. I've started it in hopes of giving it to my mom for Xmas like 3 years ago. LOL I really need to get on it. I am currently really into the perler beading right now. I'm itching to get back into the cross stitching. I want to make my own Mario Across the Ages cross stitch. I have everything for it, just need to start it. And I think that's about it for me. :Mario

I just finished up a stitch of a kitten logo for an indie jewelry shop.
The shop keeper has always been really friendly, so I wanted to give back a little.

I've also jumped on the perler bead bandwagon and have been making a lot of those.
I'm just not sure when I'll post them because I'm afraid of spamming on Flickr and deviantART.
(Here, I'm thinking to post a whole bunch of them in one thread so I don't make multiple ones.)
Hopefully it'll be soon.

The other stitch I've been working on is of the black Mokona & Mugetsu from CLAMP's manga xxxHolic.
(^yes, I am a huge dork for reading mangas. X3)
I don't think I'll even be able to post that one though since it's not really video game related.
I've actually been putting it off for quite some time now ever since I got into the beading thing. . .

My next projects include making a cross stitch of a koi tattoo design, a short "through the ages" of Ninjis, and a series of Shy Guys.
I haven't decided if I want to stitch or bead the last two things. (maybe both?!)
Oh oh, I forgot to add that I'm planning on making little earrings with plastic canvas as well,
but that might have to wait until I'm done with school this semester.

I just had nearly finished a cross stitch of Yoshi hatching from his egg, until my brothers 6 month old jack russell puppy decided to jump on the couch and pee on it!! :bye:

I'm working on Mario Through The Ages...that's my first attempt at cross stitching and I mis-measured, so I have to leave out some Mario's (d'oh!) but it's almost done :D After that, I'm working on the "I'd hit that" stitch that was posted a while ago. Then, the biggie is a Mario 3 map.

This is fun stuff, I hope to do more! Maybe even post a pic or 2 :grin:
