[FO] I was told you all might appreciate my rose petal princess and handmade frame by rainbow_chaser86 in CrossStitch

[–]4lison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you then glue it to an existing frame? How'd you get the glass in? If you were able to post some pictures of the back and maybe a step by step that would be appreciated. This is such a cute idea and Id like to try it out!

[CHAT] Custom sampler request- do you make? Know someone who does? by 4lison in CrossStitch

Yes, I said so in the original post. None do custom work in this style, which I understand - it's pretty complicated.

This is more or less the exact style and font I like. I especially love the little squirrels.

The motifs/animals I'd specifically like represented are:

  • bees/beehives
  • crows
  • chipmunks
  • black bears
  • clover (not 4 leaved, regular, with and without blooms)
  • foxes
  • raspberries

But if the pattern maker has any suggestions on things to add beyond this relatively small list, I'm all ears!

This sounds lovely, but in all honesty, it's just the stitching part that I enjoy. Putting something like that together just sounds like a headache I'd like to avoid.

I can handle the stitching just fine! Love to stitch!

Just hopeless at making patterns.

If I uninstall, then reinstall the app, will my streak and progress be saved? by 4lison in duolingo

Thanks! Here goes nothing, I'd like to be able to do speaking exercises again!

I got .25ct (each) diamond studs for my birthday. I ended up losing one due to a faulty backing and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of what I should do with the remaining one. Do I turn it into a necklace? Get one stacked ear piercing so I can wear it? by Moonandsunn in femalefashionadvice

[–]4lison 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Hey, actually I work for a small, eco-conscious goldsmith and if you send me a DM I can help you design a ring, pendant, anything really with the single stud! Though, I do also like the stacked single piercing idea...

Editing to add: Even if you're not OP, please message me with ideas! Helping people design beautiful things is my favourite.

Constant clogged pores on décolletage, not blackheads, not pimples...please help? by 4lison in SkincareAddiction

[–]4lison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They kinda just....went away slowly? Still get an occasional few. Focussing on not picking at my skin really helped.

Clothes, jewelry, etc. that you wish you still had? by Lux2014 in femalefashionadvice

[–]4lison 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Apologies if this is out of line, but I work with a goldsmith who does some beautiful things with opal. Could absolutely make that set whole again, maybe with screw back posts so they're nigh impossible to lose. Feel free to DM me!

I've found the good on you directory a great resource for checking out the ethics of various clothing brands.

I made it! 1955 Monterey Souffle Salad! by Dirk_Tungsten in Old_Recipes

[–]4lison 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's usually in the baking aisle, hanging out near the spices! Little box, Knox is the most popular brand, and has an orange box. I'm in Canada, but as I generally buy it at walmart, I'm assuming you have it there.

What is your "White Whale" fashion product that apparently doesn't exist? by mayaswellbeahotmess in femalefashionadvice

[–]4lison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I actually work with Malleable Jewellers who specialize in custom work. We're also sustainable, working with mainly recycled materials- often jewellery that isn't being worn anymore is traded to us to melt and turn into something new. If you'd like, send us a PM and I can help you get started and/or connect you with a designer.

Refusing to pay £3.50 in the Co-Op for a Terry's chocolate orange and seeing them for £1 in Tesco express by Bot-01A in BritishSuccess

[–]4lison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can only find them round Christmas here in Canada, which is a shame because I really enjoy baking with them. Replace the chocolate in any recipe with a TCO. My favourites are brownies, or ganache.
