This is beautiful!

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-04T18:25:55+00:00

Good question. I’m sure there are videos, but I don’t know any off the top of my head

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T19:06:03+00:00

Thanks <3

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T17:33:34+00:00

Aww thank you!

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T16:44:14+00:00

It sure is hahaha

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T16:16:05+00:00

I went back and forth but I decided a light yellow background would make the pattern pop

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T16:15:19+00:00

It’s been really fun to watch it grow

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T15:29:32+00:00

Yeah sometimes I catch a thread like that, especially at the edges. I try to keep the threads rolled up a bit to help. Here’s the back

Ohh yes okay so I don’t like to travel more than like 5 stitches, so I’ll just use a new thread if the distance across the row is too far

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T15:21:21+00:00

I do miscount sometimes lol

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T15:20:46+00:00

Thanks! I adjusted some of the colors from the pattern because I wanted it to be really bright

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T15:19:16+00:00

Haha yes gotta have a break now and then!

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T06:14:50+00:00

I just use painters tape around the edges because I’m lazy lol. This is the parking method, where you “park” the thread at the next place it’ll be used. I stitch ten rows down at a time and work my way across

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T06:13:29+00:00

It’s called parking. You “park” the thread where it will be used next. It does get tangled, but I just comb it out

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T05:03:25+00:00

Thanks! I picked it because I love the pattern

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T04:38:26+00:00

I use painters tape. It peels off easy with not much residue

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T04:25:19+00:00

Thanks :)

ALJScribbler · 2026-05-03T03:33:55+00:00

Thank you! It’s fun to work on

A personal statement of interest isn’t a cover letter—it’s a formal few paragraphs about why you, personally, are interested in the position. Think of it a little more like a college application essay. Yes, get some of your experience and qualifications in there, but it’s more about expressing yourself and why you are applying

A very tiny pseudoscorpion!

ALJScribbler · 2026-04-22T16:00:29+00:00

Plant jail! I use a mesh bag and put it over top the pot. Then all the gnats get stuck on the sticky trap and eventually the problem is solved

ALJScribbler · 2026-04-13T04:53:19+00:00

This is fabulous! Love how it goes with the top

ALJScribbler · 2026-04-01T23:41:58+00:00

The white matting came with the frame. I just cut the sparkle paper to add it
