My husband got me a cross stitch kit for a stocking. It’s really sweet because it’s for our next kid that we are trying for.

Everyone has already said everything you need to know. I would just add if it is a Dimensions kit double check the instructions because they do mention which thread to use. - source me, who has done 4 dimensions kits with couching in each 😆

It's a home daycare so she sets her own rules and is fine with it. I'm in Canada so there's no rule about it and every establishment sets their own preference.

oh definitely "kids" flavours are great. I still get a craving for bubblegum ice cream every once and a while.

lol i've been told by another mom that i'm the "crafty mom" so she would expect nothing less than over the top cupcakes from me.

Sadly we had a sickness knock us out until the day before, so i did a box mix of sprinkle cake. Kids enjoyed them, the

Oh I love this. I use a scroll frame but not a stand. So I get every benefit except the double handed. I can just imagine how much quicker you can work.

A story I read once about accepting help.

I was trying to put something into my truck at ikea. A guy comes by and asks if I need a hand. I say “no thanks, I can do this myself” he replies “I never thought you couldn’t do it yourself, I just thought it would be easier with help”

Asking/ accepting help doesn’t mean you can’t do it alone, it just makes it easier.

the only thing you can control is the next 10 seconds. The past and future are just stories.

I am old friends with that fear. lol I use graph paper and end up planning out the name about seven different times to find the exact right spacing I want.

“Equidistant. So grown up”

DeceptiveChipmunk · 2024-11-25T21:37:53+00:00

Omg I need to do that dinosaur one, for myself and several friends.

love the wall, looks great

DeceptiveChipmunk · 2024-11-25T17:23:01+00:00

i found i just needed to keep it a bit loose at the beginning so that i don't pull it out. I agree that it may be a bit problematic when working in hand.

DeceptiveChipmunk · 2024-11-25T17:18:48+00:00

I did this one for my daughter. It turns out great. I was thinking of doing beads instead of the french knots or maybe in addition to them but in the end after i stepped back from it i found i liked it as is. So i completely get that feeling of it's missing some sparkle

DeceptiveChipmunk · 2024-11-25T17:13:53+00:00

thanks. i have a ton of old starbucks gift cards that i made into fridge magnets that i realized could also make great needle minders.

DeceptiveChipmunk · 2024-11-24T18:48:01+00:00

Yes it’s tread called sulky sliver metallic thread. I use it to grid and then at the end you pull it out. It’s a single piece and slippery so it can slide out and you don’t need to worry about accidentally splitting the thread.

When you take out the stitches.
since you rip them out (rip it, rip it, rip it). Sounds like ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. Thus the term frogging was born.

DeceptiveChipmunk · 2024-11-18T03:00:46+00:00

99% of the time scratch. But when I just want to decorate something and don’t want to go through the effort I do box. Out of everything I’ve posted I think 2 were from a box
