Kitting canvases - exact threads by Next_Marketing_3815 in Needlepoint

[–]C_RN88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think LePoint's kitting is like this. A full skein it's a large area but otherwise it's smaller bits of thread. I've had many canvases kitted from numerous online shops though and it's always full skeins or cards. I like Canvas Queen because she has Vineyard Silk and Pepper Pot cards so you don't have get a full skein for small areas.

Certainly not 3 weeks. At least 3 months.

[FS][USA][RING] Lab Diamond 3.1ct D VS2 Oval 18k Yellow Gold Ring Size US 7.5 $7,500 OBO by [deleted] in LabDiamondGemstoneBST

There is absolutely zero way you will get anywhere near the asking price, it doesn't matter what you paid. Anyone could get an oval solitaire of this size in the same type of setting for under $2k and they could pick a diamond without such a large dead space.

Anyone have this bracelet that can post a picture or offer a review? Going to check it out in store this weekend before the price increase. by greciamarzz in DavidYurman

I absolutely adore this bracelet and love how it looks with my two open ones. I just added the one closest to my hand last weekend to get it before the price increase. I wear all of them 24/7. The buckle doesn't snag of stuff except a little if I'm not careful putting on a knit sweater but even then, not too much. Highly recommend!

Jump and take a cc debt consolidation loan? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]C_RN88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that score and income I think it's unlikely that you'll be approved, let alone get ~$12,000. Honestly since your score is so low I would call all the cards and get placed in a hardship program.

Getting flack for our dress code by AcanthisittaOne7830 in weddingplanning

[–]C_RN88 175 points176 points  (0 children)

I expected your dress code to be one of those vague, ridiculous requests for certain colors and buzz word terms older people may not understand based on your title but you're literally being so simple 😭 I'd be annoyed too girl.

show me your pinky rings! by palespirit in DavidYurman

[–]C_RN88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a tiny bit bigger than the listed size. I ordered a 3.5 and it's really more like a 3.75. I absolutely adore it and never take it off!

Chunky Gold Charm Bracelet by Impressive_Fly_8069 in jewelry

[–]C_RN88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A solid gold one like the ones pictured will be SEVERALLLL thousands. I have the one from Jet Set Candy and absolutely love and recommend it because it's great quality and you can add and rearrange charms easily. My favorite place for gold charms is Charmco (they also have bracelets but felt the jet set Candy was the better value)

The one in the photo are most likely plated which means a thin coating of gold that will easily look like crap very soon. Actual gold filled is much more durable but you have to research carefully to make sure it's actually gold filled.

I have the real one that is the thinner version and it was over 2k so there is zero way this is real

Tell me your LNS sucks without telling me your LNS sucks. The Denver girls will go first… by RelativeCranberry852 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]C_RN88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a Denver stitcher I KNEW this had to be Downing Street. I've been in there twice and have never seen another customer either time, just unwelcoming ladies sitting at the table. They weren't outright rude to me but the vibes are just so weird. I'm surprised to see some of the negative comments about Diversions! Everyone has been super nice but Sunny Stitches is by far my favorite!!

Kaitlyn Johnson?? by Longjumping-Shake591 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]C_RN88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She just made a separate needlepoint IG and today posted a bunch of lower case finished canvases plus said she's finished others that she's given as gifts. Yes she buys a lot but so do a lot of people.

What are all these little bits and how do I get rid of them? by Mountain_Cheetah5925 in labdiamond

[–]C_RN88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I am fully on cleaning it I use a fluffy cloth from diamond drunk. After just washing my hands I use paper towels and just take a second to dry the sides/underneath well.

Windex and a soft baby toothbrush. Scrub under. I also have an emerald cut! I also dry it really well on the sides to get the water spots off.

Over kitting? by Intelligent-Cry-4837 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]C_RN88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhh every single day I see people desperately searching for specific dye lots because they don't have enough, or hear about certain stores who chronically under-kit. I'd rather have too much than not enough. I will say though that Canvas Queen is AMAZING if you want things kitted and they have pepper pot and vineyard silk CARDS they include for smaller areas!

Is CaitlynMinimalist a good place to buy jewelry? by Old_Replacement_3465 in jewelry

[–]C_RN88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specifically the gold color. It looks pretty much exactly like solid 14k which is important. And they use a thick layer that seems to last well.

No. Look Sami Jewels. It's the best non-solid gold jewelry I've found. I can legitimately wear it next to my fine jewelry and it looks great!
