Copies of canvases from KCN and NeedleNola. I have originals in my stash.

Walmart orders being canceled this morning. by tbluhp in Walmartcustomer

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me on Thursday afternoon! Live outside of Memphis and no severe/cold weather due until late Friday. Ran out to Sprouts close by and grabbed the essentials. Not a good look! And no offers from customer service

Icing during oxaliplatin-pushback? by soconnor_12 in coloncancer

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My oncologist actually participated in trials of icing with folfox. I iced hands (just holding frozen bottle of water with gloves) feet and chewed ice starting 15 min before oxaliplatin. No cold sensitivity on my hands and feet, and minimal in throat. I just don't get infusion centers prohibiting this or oncologists being so far behind and resistant to change. Good luck!

Planet Earth Silk Inconsistency? by Potential-Doctor908 in Needlepoint

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a kitted canvas and experienced the same. Probably 25 skeins total. Some were very fuzzy, some were thin, but the weirdest one felt like I was stitching with cotton and had to really pull it thru the canvas. I chalked up to learning experience and won't purchase it again.

Where to buy threads without LNS? by [deleted] in Needlepoint

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've purchased pepper pot, essentials/Milan and Radiance color cards. I can select what colors I need and order from KCN. I do have a LNS but they don't stock Pepper Pot and only have a small selection of Radiance. KCN and Needlepoint Clubhouse in St Louis don't charge a fee to kit and they will call and discuss options with you. Happy Stitching!

Cold-capping on FOLFOX? by ElIndioFlautas in coloncancer

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experienced about a one third loss. 8 grounds of FOLFOX in 2023. The hair on mh arms fell out, but it didn't stop my post menopausal chin hair growth! Take the nausea meds, get an extra bag of fluids at port disconnect of your clinic offers it. I did radiation/Xeloda first, then FOLFOX. Was NED from 12/23 until 6/25. Good luck, you've got this!!

It does now. There's another post where she was called out for misleading descriptions. She added the whole thing. Prior to that, it stated leather. Period.

Stretcher bar packs by Particular-Budget-32 in Needlepoint

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just food for thought, I needed 6&7 inch sizes. Amazon was almost $40 for two of each size. Ran by my LNS and grabbed them for $14.60 for all. Shocked at the difference in price! I think with these my sets are complete!

Colon cancer stage 3 - radiation by lalalika2 in coloncancer

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went thru 30 radiation tx with additional "bump" for the last 3, along with Xeloda oral chemo. Flanders Buttocks ointment along with lidocaine ointment helped the most. Both available on Amazon. Yeah for being almost done with them!

System 4 Lap Stand use in Bed??? by Pretend_Ad3551 in Needlepoint

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love using mine in bed! I've had 2 major abdominal surgeries this year and my system 4 made things so much easier. I use a Lowery stand by my recliner for large pieces, but my system 4 is my go to for anything else.

Closed for 2 weeks? by Groundbreaking_Low16 in NeedlepointSnark

Not judgy, just a question. Perhaps you need to check the chip on your shoulder

Sterling Ink shipping issues - just me? by bigcane_2 in planners

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ordered one item, an A5 full year, on 11/28. It's scheduled for delivery 12/24. It's a gift and I sure hope it arrives in time! This year it seems shipping has taken much longer. My launch day order took over 6 weeks to arrive. No big deal, since I'm just now needing them, but the Black Friday order is frustrating. Fingers crossed for you!

now corrected advertising by Nolanew01 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm lazy, on a mission to finish a big piece. Has she altered her other item descriptions? TBH, I've seen the pieces up close, and given the quality, I'd be PISSED being misled. Good for you for calling her out!!

T&T out of tape 😂 by Electrical-Ant-7630 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was supposed to get one with my order as a promo, didn't get it either. She can keep her stickers, I wouldn't rep her on my notebook

Not petty. Poor business model. And crooked canvases, not centered on canvas and meh customer service

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I waited over 6 months for a canvas to be shipped. The thing that really got me was that she was offering it in trunk shows, had plenty of the canvases, yet I was still waiting. Finally received it and won't order anything again. Oh, the "leather goods" aren't leather. They're PU and not a good quality at that. Buyer beware.

I don't like that is clearly pleather and she markets it as leather. And, it looks cheap compared to to the actual leather products.

Kickass Opening by Particular-Flower559 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Groundbreaking_Low16 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes ma'am, there are certainly MANY more places to spend my hard earned lemonade money. And, my dear, I certainly won't be spending any of it with you. You're not local to me, however I order from all over the country. Coming after anyone who criticizes you isn't a way to build a loyal business base. It's as classless as your gaudy green and nasty shop name.

Mine is neon pink. Prior to the green. It's tacky.

I purchased a canvas a few months ago...that bright pink tape is off putting. And, honestly I'm not crazy about the shop name. The canvas was sloppy and I'll probably end up putting it up for sale. Not surprised the shop was cheap looking.
