Party Ideas – Mid Life Crisis

August 2, 2013 by Shellie Wilson

This Party is from WantsandWishesDesign.com and is Fabulous. (Pun Intended)

Every night at around 9 pm when my children refuse to close their eyes or they tell me they are hungry or thirsty or need to wee – I sit and plan out my Mid Life Crisis. I think about all the things I would rather be doing . Basically my (pathetic) mid life crisis will consist of sleeping and watching British T.V programs. The two things I no longer do in life.

When I do decide to lose the plot and embark on the journey of “My Mid Life Crisis” I think I will throw a party. In fact I will be 35 this year and as my dear friend keeps reminding me, that is half way to 70. Which means that a “Mid Life Crisis” party might be closer than I think.

All of the items are available in their NEW SHOP- WantsandWishesDesign.com. They also have a non Midlife Crisis option- Welcome to my fabulous Birthday Party.

Designer Spotlight: Knotty Bytes

There’s not much to say about Etsy seller Knotty yites other than if you like pop culture cross stitch patterns this is the place for you. It’s pretty much all they do, and there’s a wide range of fandoms and characters represented. 

I first learned about this shop when I was doing Only Murders in the Building cross stitch patterns, and if you like that one the rest of their patterns are similar in vibe. They feature little characters in a lineup, sometimes labeled with the name of the show/movie they are from or with other text. 

There’s everything from She-Ra to Ghostbusters, Lost to Xena, Game of Thrones to the MCU. While lots of the designs only cover a few characters, there are some larger ones as well. 

Like this “space superhero” alphabet full of characters (and one spaceship!) from the Star Wars universe. The full design is 196 by 272 stitches and uses 81-86 colors (the range being because there are actually two alphabets with some different characters to choose from, or mix and match your favorites). 

If you’ve ever wanted to stitch up Katniss and the mockingjay pin, an homage to Cersei Lannister or Jem and the Holograms, this shop has got you covered. Or you can try the X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy or characters from the video game Mass Effect. 

Like I said, there’s a wide variety. 

If this sounds like the kind of shop you would like, check out all the options at Knotty Bytes. I’d love to hear if you make something from this shop (or if you have already!).
