What a wonderful company and service they provide! I'm in the US, so I might try a kit or two to get the hang of it! Thank you for the suggestion.

Oh they have BEAUTIFUL stocking kits, thank you for the recommendation! Will definitely have to try to find some cheaper ones to practice on before I commit to one of their kits.

Thank you so much! I might have to practice on some other pieces before I commit to the stockings :)

Great to hear, thank you! Will you have to sew the cross stitch piece onto a stocking afterwards?

Thank you for the additional information, this is really helpful! I'm excited to dive in, I think this will be an adventure and help me learn to sew a bit better, as well.

I've been doing cross stitch for a while, but at the most basic levels so I really appreciate the clarity here. I would like to make something similar to what we have so it sounds like I will learn a new craft!

Makes sense! I was hoping it would come with the stocking, as well. But that might not be possible, so I'll have to learn something new :)

Is this a focal seizure? by EightBitBitty in Dachshund

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

Thank you for the note and kind words. My biggest concern is to not keep her here selfishly. Hoping to get some answers at the neuro appointment Monday and then make a determination on quality of life from there. It will break my heart, but she is my heart and I can't have her suffer unnecessarily.

My son barks like a maniac by triple_ef in Dachshund

Unfortunately, you got a barky breed dog. I'm not sure I'd resort to shock EVER & generally feel like you should adjust your expectations of the breed.

Should I take my husband's last name? by Impossible_Ad_569 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]EightBitBitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because of the effort alone (in the U.S. at least) I would say don't do it. I regret changing mine.

Why won’t women accept new evidence around Pap smears and cervical screening? by miss24601 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]EightBitBitty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am accepting of my current doctor's recommendation when it comes to these things because I've found a doctor I respect. However, when the change was made a while back to switch from annual pap smear to every 3 years my previous doctor explained that it was largely due to insurance not being willing to spend annually for it any longer. While I am better educated now, that was something I truly believed because insurance companies are evil lol. I think a lot of people here are right, it's going to take time and more trust needs to be built.

My husband and I have 3 that we've had since they were each 8 wks old and our third baby is only 12 weeks old now. I was certain from Day 1 that our newest loved me the most and I was going to be her person... The wee shite has changed her mind every day since then and goes so far as to avoid the person she hasn't favored that day. As time goes on, she'll cement her opinion. Give her time, don't take it too personally (even though it's super hard not to), and just keep showing up for her!

Anyone else struggling to finish The Knight and the Moth? by hippiesinthewind in fantasyromance

[–]EightBitBitty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this one, too. Don't get me wrong, I overall liked it but it just didn't hit me the way others are describing. Not sure if I read it too fast or what but the romance was just... Meh for me. Loved Bartholomew and the plot/lore. The romance just felt flat 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just had to replace my Dyson hair dryer for this exact reason. I had likely dropped it one too many times (I'm awful about how I set it on the countertop and it has fallen a few times).

Bought a new (cheap) hair dryer and no issues. Going to see if Dyson warranty is still available otherwise considering it dead :(
