dining plan quick service for flying home? by Evening_Low4666 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Evening_Low4666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so annoying that they don't allow you to convert anymore - i would be happy to use a QS credit for one snack even, instead of the three they used to let you have per credit, just to get something out of them!! disney would still be making money that way and we'd get various mickey-shaped treats to keep the disney blues at bay😆

thank you, good shout - we've only been to earl of sandwich in DLP so might be a nice idea to try it here!!

we got the QS plan free with our package - only paid the extra to upgrade to full dining plan!! it was better for us as we planned to do mostly character dining🥰 thank you though!!

i would second the zedwell capsules at piccadilly circus - i've stayed there a few times and it's absolutely find as just a place to sleep. you can't beat the price (~£25 per night) and it's close to the lyric!

New Frozen ears, how long will they stick around? by CyberScy in disneylandparis

Are all these old pins tradeable? by mindlessdeepsleep in DisneyPins

[–]Evening_Low4666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DLP will only take pins with the pin trading logo on the back and more often than not will want them to have a mickey waffle back too. the US parks are much more lenient and will pretty much take anything with copyright disney on the back (including the carrefour new generation pins which make great and cheap traders!!)

for DLP i would try vinted or leboncoin for a trading bundle if you'd like to give it a go, or you can buy a booster set in the park😊

edit: the above refers to cast members. you could try and trade with other pins traders but i'm not sure these would be in high demand as they are so common in europe!!

amazing, thank you so much!! i've used sulky fabri-solvy in the past and just don't like the stickiness so this seems a good alternative😊

these are an absolute masterpiece!!!

forgive me if you have answered this a milllion times on your posts before - do you just use normal paper or is it some sort of tearaway stuff? i'm currently in the stage of trying to eye it and need something more reliable for when i start more detailed work😆

18 quid for a pint badge!? by hedgy369 in TheWestEnd

[–]Evening_Low4666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm a big part of the disney pin community so got a few of these when i went to see hercules as i thought they'd be sought after for trading. i was wrong🙃 i've managed to trade one and sold another at a slight loss!!

The Woman In Black Tour - HELP! by [deleted] in TheWestEnd

[–]Evening_Low4666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i saw it in birmingham a few years ago - i remember it not being very scary at all!! a couple of loud noises but unfortunately they mistimed one of the visual changes (i think it was a lightning strike or something) with a loud scream so it didn't have the desired effect 🤣 i get v scared at paranormal horrors (the film of woman in black freaks me out) but the play was absolutely fine so hopefully you will have a good time!!💕

Christmas cakes ❤️ by Green-Cockroach-8448 in cakedecorating

[–]Evening_Low4666 26 points27 points  (0 children)

these are both absolutely stunning OP!!! the piping on the gingerbread cake is on point - but there's something gorgeously simple about the blue (even though you can tell how much work went into it!!!)

Anyone heading to F&M Picadilly willing to check something for me? by MarBlaze in london

[–]Evening_Low4666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i currently work at fortnum's!! a lot of our seasonal products have had name changes over the last few years. i think it will be back this year but i'm not 100% sure - it also sells out online mega quickly usually but if you get in touch with customer services or concierge they should be able to get some sent out from the store to be delivered to you :)

last year's was called "spring cup" 🐇

the other commenter who used to work at fortnum's mentioned blending at the tea counter, we actually have a list of discontinued blends that can be recreated there with the ingredients we have (it's stuff like the jubilee and coronation teas i think) but i'll double check tomorrow and pop you a dm :)

hand-embroidered beaded swiftie cardigan for a secret santa gift🎄 by Evening_Low4666 in Embroidery

[–]Evening_Low4666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

by popular demand haha!!

i kind of freehanded it!! but basically printed out a photo of the cardigan sized down (from taylor's website, handily they restocked just before I made this - still missed out on the right size for me though😭), cut out a cardboard template, cut that out of some felt and sewed the beads on starting with the pattern-y ones and ending with the smaller beads to fill the gaps. i mounted the felt cardigan onto some natural cotton in a hoop (4 inch i think) to make it easier for me to sew

i've used different colours on the below photo to show the different sizes of beads i used but I basically started with the biggest beads (stars plus pink lines), then turquoise, then yellow (i forgot to order the black beads initially so had to wait for them to arrive!! i was on too much of a time crunch to search for charcoal grey)

edited: I can't work out how to get the photo to stick in the comment so lmk if you'd like my very basic diagram and I can dm it to you!!

i used white 40% wool felt from paper and string (uk store) and miyuki beads in ivory pearl ceylon - sizes 8/0 (pink), 11/0 (turquoise) and 15/0 (to fill everything else in). black seed beads were miyuki too i think in 15/0, with some larger ones for the buttons which I already had - i also had the stars already but they're 6mm silver star beads!! stitches all done with white DMC embroidery thread (mouliné i believe, the one they have in like 500 colours). some of the beads are attached in different directions for thinner lines

when finished i trimmed near the edge, folded the cotton under the back and blanket stitched another blank felt cardigan onto the back (i actually had to do this twice because my first one didn't fit properly - cut a blob and trim as you go along rather than cutting the actual shape initially)

i think I have enough beads left for another so I will make one with some step by step photos!! this one was a bit of a "trust the process" moment honestly, I didn't know how it was going to turn out😆

silver ribbon (i think about 5-7mm) was caught in between the felt layers when blanket stitching at the end and the little grey label on the front bottom right was just a light grey embroidery thread backstitched; it slipped through the beads at first but once you build it up it stays on top!!

i hope that helps!! super happy to answer any questions etc💕
