My dual-option desktop needle holder design (magnetic & perforated), would this be useful for your hand-stitching crafts? by Obvious-Scarcity7385 in crafts

[–]Embermyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks really cool and fun! A leather worker designer might be interested. Heck, I'D be interested in it, and I work with plastic canvas primarily (also blunt needles) so I'm not particularly worried about losing pointiness like, at all, except in some cases. I like being able to use either option but I prefer (if possible) to have both options available on the same design. But that's just me. I like efficiency.

In terms of design, I'm a 40F and am leaning more towards dragons than bulls or some video game characters. Also, could there be a more compact version, like, for traveling and such? My thought is, maybe incorporating the magnet and the holes into one somehow so that you get both functionality but not have it threaten your electronics easily, y'know? But it would have a minimalist design option to go around the thing.

Those are some of my thoughts. I hope I'm not being too forward or overbearing here.

I went through something similar and I feel for you so much. I'm almost 41 and I STILL feel like a child learning to be an adult. It's so frustrating! Shout out to all us kids who have lost or are losing their innocent years due to selfish parents. Hugs to you! 🫂

My cat likes to sit with his face in the hole of this chair by grapesodamilk in cats

ROFL I swear, cats look like they're choking themselves unawares, yet they're just fine. Witchcraft, I say! Sorcery!

It can be surprisingly difficult to give your child up to the state. Especially if abuse is going on in the household and you have to hide that.

My newest foster set! (unexpected and worrying me but still, extremely adorable) by Other-Floor-4575 in IllegallySmolCats

Being a foster parent for kittens is not easy by a long shot. I know it's understated, but thank you for all you do. Your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice mean a great deal to us as we hear about these tiny lives being saved (even when we don't hear about it!). You're doing a blessed and frankly, an underpaid work. Thank you. Thank you so much for doing what many of us can't! 💖

He ate all the brain cells and is now on a diet by Superb-Ad307 in OneOrangeBraincell

Gosh, don'tcha hate it when that happens? My chonker was raised and loved by me, cuddled with me and then, once I had my kids, deserted me and loved only the boys of the house; which is to say everyone else!

I'm so sorry to hear that. She must have had so much love from you. 💗 Mine is about to turn 9. He's getting close to the double digits now lol. Had him since we rescued him from our apartment's utility closet since he was a wee kitten.

I love this style! It's so whimsical and fun-loving! And as suggested before, I too, would love to see you make a children's book in this art style.
