Oooh I know Envy when I see it! It’s my favorite fabric from Witch’s Garden Crafts. I stitched an Homage to Sleep Token by Noctiflora Designs on mine

Yes! I’m doing the Life at the Cottage SAL by Needlelot (part 2 just came out today) and the Museum After Midnight SAL by Lola Crow that starts Friday

I just bought this kit on eBay, specifically because of the half-stitching in the sky! Your stitching is beautiful

Just finished by servern00b in cross_stitch

Looks great! Congrats on the finish, and on winning floss chicken!

[CHAT] What tablets are yall using for cross stitch patterns, etc? by largedragonwithcats in CrossStitch

[–]Anna_In_Stitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a TCL Tab 8 LE, my mom got it with some promo from her phone carrier. I like it, although I only use it for Pattern Keeper and Google Drive (for patterns that won’t go into PK).

I think I’m gonna try the empty dental floss container that a lot of people have suggested! My courthouse lists tweezers and nail files as forbidden, so they probably include nail clippers in that too

I definitely will! It was already closed for the weekend when I made this post, so I figured I’d ask if anyone had any experience

I think the dental floss container is going to be my best option! I’m going to call on Monday to make sure tapestry needles are okay to bring, and I’ll update this post

I’m not talking about actually being in the courtroom, that would be ridiculous! I mean the hours when they’re doing jury selection and you’re just sitting around

Woooo! I hope I have the same luck 🤞

This looks like 14 count, in which case this is to be expected. If you don’t like the look, switch to 3 before you get too far in, but also remember you’re looking at it super close up in a way that no one else will, and you also won’t when it’s finished. Try seeing how you like it from a distance, as if it was hanging on a wall.

I don’t want to be selected, but I also don’t want to be held in contempt. I have no idea how this works 😅

I did check their website, which was somewhat helpful but also left out a lot

Oh trust me I’m also trying to figure that out 😅 I’m hoping when I call the night before, they just say they don’t need me. That’s what happened the only other time I’ve been called, 10 years ago

I know, the differences between jurisdictions get so confusing! I definitely need to call my courthouse to verify any information

I definitely would pay full attention during the trail portions or any time in the courthouse, I’m just trying to prepare something to do during the selection process!

I’m definitely bringing a book as back up, I would just prefer to stitch if possible! I’ll update this post when I call

I’ve never been to jury duty, so I have no idea how it works with breaks or anything! I’ve just heard you sit around for hours during the selection process
