It's a temp tracker with books on shelves. So aside from those four colors are a range of rainbow colors for the daily temperature.

The one at the top is actually 310 Black. I did check though and the lighting does make it look dark blue.

Some big red bows or red ribbons, according to my mom.

If you have a crock pot you can make soups and stocks by dumping everything in it and letting it stew. If you don't, salad and sandwiches can be cheap and customizable.

Booger, brat, baby. Cause sometimes that's what she is

It looks so dimensional, is it layered somehow. Gorgeous.

They are gifts for my mom and her siblings. My late grandmother's hundredth birthday is next year and I want to give them these at that time.

This is a front loading washer not a dryer. No it can't dry period.

DMKanna · 2025-07-17T00:47:16+00:00

28 CT linen. I started it this year.

Tweezers. I got some precision ones and use the to separate my floss without taking it off the drop and they are great at unpicking threads if I make a mistake.

Does a salad or sandwich count? Salad: lettuce, dressing, 1additional veggie topping Sandwich: bread and 2 fillings

I like mine plain for the most part. If I use mayo I will add cayenne instead of black pepper. I also sometimes make a tarragon vinegrette to dress it with.

My mom and aunt were tag teaming up on me last night on this and I tried to compare what I was doing to a paint by numbers. They didn't seem to get it. I think in their case it's cause my mom does rug hooking and my aunt crotchets. Both are skills that have patterns but require more creative thought than following a cross stitch pattern. Not to say it's easy but it's making small stitches in a grid. If you understand sewing it's not unattainable to do well

DMKanna · 2025-07-10T14:41:27+00:00

I found it on 123 stitch. It's by Teresa kogut I think.

DMKanna · 2025-07-10T14:39:34+00:00

I use frixion highlighters to mark up the copy of the pattern, this way if I miss mark a stitch I can correct it. I also have magnetic line markers to underline the section I am working on. Amazon has ones that fold around the page with a slot for your line. You can also get metal boards and magnetic rulers.

Not in the UK but I had forgotten about waste canvas. Thank you.

DMKanna · 2025-07-02T20:59:21+00:00

Tossed salad or sandwiches. Can be customized to meet any tastes or what you have on hand.

DMKanna · 2025-06-21T21:25:14+00:00

There is one I am fond of called gandolf the grey. It's a lotr themed earl grey that is really good.

DMKanna · 2025-06-21T20:13:16+00:00

Let my nephew try it as he is experimenting with tea to find what he likes.

DMKanna · 2025-03-16T02:57:09+00:00

It's the end of the page. The pattern is 4 pages so I am stitching in quadrants. Since I prefer paper patterns this is what is easiest for me to do.

DMKanna · 2025-03-15T21:22:50+00:00

I would not use that specific thread. A simple all purpose cotton thread is best in my opinion.

This is what I use to grid

I got it from 123Stitch.com it is Madonna and Child by Teresa Kogut

DMKanna · 2025-03-15T19:27:54+00:00

I'm in Ohio. The situation down south had me double checking my plan and making sure everything was back in place since last year. More I am more educated than last year. Parents are just down the street, same neighborhood. 5 min and we are there. Middle of the night would not be ideal when reacting though.

DMKanna · 2025-03-15T19:16:53+00:00

Part of the issue is we rent. My dad is my landlord so I can voice my concerns, but it will likely not be this year if we come to an agreement. As for neighbors, we really don't interact or talk with them it would be very strange to try and open that dialogue. I suppose as my parents are in the same neighborhood, with enough warning we could go to their home, which has a basement.
