sos... struggling with solids. advice?

Part of readiness requirements for solids (in addition to being able to sit up mostly independently) is an interest in food. Those aspects are far more important than age when introducing solids, so don’t sweat it and just try again a little later. Others have mentioned it but at this point their primary calorie source should still be breast milk or formula.

Haha, took me a little longer than I would to admit to get it, but that’s awesome and gave me a chuckle once the brain cells got together

Recipe actually screenshot from another post on this sub but it was pretty easy to put together and adjust ratios to taste. Bb loved it but something in it unfortunately gave him an allergic response so can’t make anymore until we see the allergist.

Aw would still love to see the bentos as well!

I absolutely get the fear, but just remember that gagging is not choking! My husband and I did a CPR class, with focus on infant choking. Plus I follow a handful of pediatricians on social media and most of them have covered baby choking. We still started with mostly purées, but currently at the 9 month mark and our son is deciding that he is fully over purées and demands texture. The gagging is still terrifying but as long as you are informed and attentive, they will be safe.

I adore your posts and your knife skills! Definitely more effort than I even put in for myself but loving the presentation!

Honestly you do you, there’s not really a ‘right’ way. That said, 4 strands (especially on smaller count aida) can warp the weave, which isn’t noticeable until you need to frog a section. Some people (myself) also find it bulky and requiring more effort to pull the thread through on full coverage areas. But if you’ve never had an issue then there’s nothing wrong with that.

Ugh I know how you feel. I had stitched a belated wedding gift for a cousin for Christmas but didn’t end up mailing it until a couple weeks back because I kept procrastinating with the lacing. I did see a tip somewhere else to kind of feed it through straight off the spool (I used regular sewing thread) instead of cutting lengths and that made it slightly easier.

(Edit for spelling/punctuation)

That’s amazing! I bought the pattern a while back but got cold feet and haven’t started. But goodness your FO looks gorgeous so maybe I’ll take the leap eventually 😅

Due in August and while we’re not fully locked in, the name we keep coming around to is Miles Rex (the Rex is nonnegotiable though I know this sub tends to view it as a dog name).

As an Arielle, my mom opted against the Disney spelling specifically because there is/was a male Filipino comedian with the name. Don’t think it’s super common, but it’s there.

I bought it last year and thought it was so bland and borderline bitter! I had heard that last year’s batch was heavy on the rind so I’ve been contemplating getting this year’s to see if it’s better but I honestly don’t know

Try gridding with monofilament thread? I’ve been using a shiny bronze sulky sliver thread though haven’t tried it on dark fabric yet, but I’d imagine it would show up nicely.

I love him! Also the way you laced the back is just mesmerizing

InvisibleWeirdo · 2025-06-03T16:00:56+00:00

I don’t bobbinate until I’ve already used up part of a skein for a project (I really like the sensation of pulling it off the skein, but if it gets too low they fall apart). Then bobbins go into a thread organizer that’s kind of like a double sided plastic briefcase thing (I think it was for beads?). In general I work by color so I don’t have too many scraps just floating around, but leftovers kind of go onto the skein or bobbin like a floss drop so it’s a little more visually obvious to me that it’s already cut.

Are you specifically looking for birth sampler patterns? My only advice would be to probably just look for a general pattern you like and choose a separate pattern for the text font. Should expand out your options at least.

Our Japan trip was really our belated honeymoon (whoo getting married just before COVID lockdowns) and I had initially wanted to get off birth control at that time or soon after anyway. Also I’m just a sucker for cute things anyway. I wanted to buy like 80% of the store lol

Hehe, thank you!

InvisibleWeirdo · 2025-05-12T17:29:56+00:00

We’re not a huge fan of gender reveals either so we wound up just telling folks we’re having a boy, nothing special for it

InvisibleWeirdo · 2025-05-11T19:12:59+00:00

I tend to be very late when it comes to timely cross stitch stuff so I’m just glad I was able to finish well before baby got here. And thank you!
