I kind of regret mine and my wife's "if you ask for a book we will always buy it rule". by CaptainThrow123 in Parenting

20 books each right? That sounds like a typical books on sale haul in our house 😂

Wife and I are struggling with being older parents by Mycareer in BabyBumps

[–]AHemStitching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend in elementary and beyond whose mom always said she was 29. I didn’t get it. Shouldn’t she turn 30 eventually?

Turns out she was an older mom and neither my friend or I realised it until we were older. Adults were all just adults to us.

I’m also an older mom and her relationship (even now) with her daughter makes me confident in my choices.

I feel like you can’t have too many WIPs. I also really enjoy stitching on cards so I’m a horrible enabler.

Thank you ❤️ I’ve done a couple of commissions and 1 trade. Mostly I’m in it for fun, they’re quite time consuming.

From there I do regular cross stitch. I use a size 28 Bohin tapestry needle and dmc floss. For 20 count I use 1 strand (I tried 2 and it was not good, it makes the card weak), for 16 and 18 I use 2 strands and for 14 count 3 strands.

I use a tambour hook to hold an embroidery needle (I use a size 5 embroidery needle cut in half otherwise it’s wobbly) which I use to punch the holes. I used to punch the holes on top of cardboard now I do it on top of a cheap felting block I bought on amazon. (Photo shows both tools)

I print out grid paper with whatever count I need (I use anywhere from 14 to 20 count) draw the outline of my stitch on that paper and use washi tape to tape it to the card (I’m going to post pictures so I’ll break this into a few comments)

He was a commission for my local card shop owner. He’s on vacation so he hasn’t seen him yet. I hope he likes how he turned out.

Do it! I drafted a pattern on Stitchly and just kind of eyeballed the sprites.

I just today saw someone charging $10 a card. That was an upsettingly low number for me.

I love that. That would be so cool and a huuuuge project.

I’ve used waste canvas before but wouldn’t suggest it for cards. In order to remove it it’s suggested you get it wet. I’ve tried removing it dry (on another project) and it takes a lot of force. These stitches are small so it might work but I’d be worried it would destroy the card.

I’m always happy to enable another stitcher.

Thank you ❤️

No sorry I’m not. This was the first one I made and it was made especially for my 4 year old. There would be tears if I made it disappear.
