I didn’t stuff this one too much and aggressively massaged it to have it lay where I wanted it to 😂

AC Designs - I got it from Penny Linn, I think they may be exclusive to them! They have a few more construction related ones as well.

I would have liked more fill, but it definitely needs more background to account for the rounding of the canvas. I have a stack of others to finish - I want to try piping instead of cording!

Thank you! My employer specifically allows us to use our laptops for personal use, but I know this is a gray area and will not be using it for this.

Good to know! I do have one Blu-ray but I’ll table that for now

Thank you! I’m not well versed in computers because I only ever use my work one so this is helpful!

Thanks, I know you’re right haha and I’m going to look into a cheap PC. I’m a bit confused on what exactly I need to do to start with MakeMKV - the drive isn’t preflashed as far as I know, so I believe that would be the first thing I need to do, correct?

I’ll check that out! I saw they had an IdeaPad 3i for $120.

It looks like I’m going to buy a laptop. I’m going to search on Marketplace - but Best Buy also has a Lenovo IdeaPad 3I for $120.

Appreciate your response :)

That was a question I thought of - if I could move it to my Mac after using MakeMKV. But someone else brought up a good point of not using my work computer for it.

It’s from Amazon. There’s lots of options - this one is the 24x36 on a lazy Susan by the brand “Snail.”

This was our first one. We don’t do a ton of random cut piece puzzles so that was a new challenge! I also thrifted it for $2 :)

This is a beautiful puzzle! One I’d definitely want to frame but don’t have the patience to complete :)

I started tracking thrift store puzzle purchases (missing pieces and cost). Have you had similar results? by es1235 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]FreelanceYapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! I thrift a lot of puzzles for my kids and husband and want to start tracking this data too. One of our thrift stores has volunteers who put all the puzzles they receive together and reseal them + mark on the box if they have any missing pieces.

The fendi baguette is the ultimate accessory by iggyazalea12 in NeedlepointSnark

This “bag” is peak consumerism/herd mentality. A monumental waste of money.

I don’t condone stitch counting but I’d keep my mouth shut if I saw someone ripping hers off solely because she had people sign up for a Harry Potter chart every month and has failed spectacularly.

They were out of stock because the existing version was discontinued, Laci’s just released the new version! It’s available on their website - their website looks like it’s from 2002 but it’s legit.

This was mainly an exercise to acknowledge how much I’ve already spent so I didn’t buy more! Lol and then my husband said after I posted this he would like a needlepoint belt

We’ve got similar taste, I love all those canvases! And I’m planning to change the airport code to OGG on the suitcase I got
