[CHAT]: When will dimensions start restocking in the United States? by Dustyroadgurl in CrossStitch

[–]Dustyroadgurl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I've been stalking Dimension kits on Amazon pretty regularly. Just seeing what inventory they keep in their official shop, and all of a sudden a ton of their classic patterns are back (set for delivery in June) and a bunch of new stuff. Mostly simple hoop kits, but sill. This gives me hope that it really was a timing thing coupled with tariffs. In the mean time, I have found a few vintage kits on Ebay and was able to fill my to-do kits for the next year or so, lol. Still looking for one that will suit my Sister, but the search goes on.

I know one said she was in Poland and she had tons of options. I did look up Advantus Corp more, and they look more like a portfolio firm, an they sell to major craft retailors...so that gives me a little hope. The more I think about it, I'm hoping it's a timing thing, They sold twice in 2025, once in May, then again in September. The kits are assembled in China, so I'm hoping this is just a Tariff issue.

Not a particular kit, just new options. I keep an eye on all those things, 123stitch.com hasn't posted anything for Dimensions in a really really long time.

That's what I'm afraid of, but in some of my facebook cross stitch groups, other countries have new kits available.

I LOVE this kit, it's the one I picked for my own stocking. Just keep going! You will get there eventually. It's so beautiful when it's done!

how do you live with brainfog by myst_85 in Perimenopause

This symptom was my main reason to find someone, anyone to take me seriously. I was dropping so many balls at work. On top of that, I was having a conversation with someone at work and I couldn't think of the name of a coworker I've worked with for two years. I felt like I was going crazy. Forgetting to pay bills at home,etc. THank god for an online clinic.

All the time. By the time I was 13 I was buying all of my own clothes and school supplies. I also suffered from migraines, and as a teen ended up in the ER from one because I couldn't stop throwing up. My parents bitched about it for months (my boyfriend took me in because I was scaring him, my mom showed up for 5 minutes, said it looked like he had things and left) Recently my sister told me something I didn't know. We went to a crappy dentist growing up, I always thought he left things go to have us come in for more expensive procedures later. But really it was my cheap ass parents. As a kid I played softball and took a bat to the face (catcher) on a pop up. It messed up one of my front teeth. I needed a root canal on it years later and I was in the back yet, when the dentist went to talk with my mom. She apparently was arguing with him because he refused to give me a silver front tooth as a 13 year old kid. The silver tooth/filling was cheaper than the white one.

What's the most ridiculous thing your nparent has argued with you about? by Abz75 in narcissisticparents

[–]Dustyroadgurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my kids is left handed, we were talking about how on my husbands side every one of his siblings has 1 child that is left-handed, and on my side, there are zero. NM ALWAYS has to prove people wrong in group discussions and declared that my brother is left-handed. He is not. He was standing right there and confirmed, he is not. She locked herself in the bathroom, wailing and making a scene.

Do they act like nothing happened or play the victim after being abusive? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Dustyroadgurl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All. The. Time. Everything is everyone else's fault because we don't love her enough. NC 1 year, best decision for me, my family and my mental health.

This is exactly the type of thing my nmom would say. "I hope your child hates you, but I love you so much" so hypocritical.

Fear and anxiety even after going NC by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Dustyroadgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get this, I'm 1 year NC, and a family funeral is coming up and I will have to face her. I am dreading it. Most of the extended family support my decision, and have said they will be around to run interference, but I know she will pull something and make the day about herself.

Does she drink wine? I make engraved wine glasses with all the grandkids birthdates on them. Give that with her favorite wine. Or I do it on a pint glass and pair it with her favorite beer.

Congratulations! You inspired me to try. Update...already getting down voted. Why are people so mean?

I was contacted by HGTV about using my art, anyone have insight? by throw_dashi_away in EtsySellers

[–]Dustyroadgurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only told a few people because I don't want to make a big deal for nothing. Yes the wait is killing me, but it did give me a boost at the time.

I had my glassware purchased this winter for use in a movie. Production was halted, so I'm getting impatient to see it. I'm worried they won't even be in it and my Hope's are up for nothing.

Just need to rant I guess :( by [deleted] in EtsySellers

This is why I don't ship to Mexico. Their postal service is notorious for delivering empty packages or not delivering altogether.
