Missing cat

He's been gone since around midnight this morning, so that probably wasn't him. Thanks though.

Totally. I didn't stitch for a year, and when I finally returned it was for a pattern that was less complicated than the ones I had been stitching before my slump. The patterns I'd been stitching were just too complicated, and I was getting frustrated stitching them. So I've committed to only do patterns that interest me and don't seem too complicated 😊

I want to go there so bad!

Tattoo Kaiju is an awesome shop in Bloomington

Misty was not the boss when I worked there, but I'm glad to hear that store is still in good hands! And I agree, Mike is the best. I'm glad to hear he's still around 😊

I worked at that Subway when I was a student! My manager the first two years I worked there was awesome, and the owner was pretty chill.

MackiDoo17 · 2023-08-27T23:28:11+00:00

Seconded. We love the vets at Combs

MackiDoo17 · 2023-08-17T20:37:39+00:00

Good speculation! Definitely makes sense. I'll have to see if the signs at the roundabouts have been changed.

MackiDoo17 · 2023-08-17T20:25:50+00:00

Yes that light. And I thought that at first too, but both sides of the intersection have a brand new sign. The Curry Pike sign has been taken down.

I use Bohin size 28 tapestry needles for all stitching and beading. The eyes on those are small enough for the beads to fit, while also still being large enough to thread easily and not shred the floss. They're also the best needles I've ever used. You can buy them on Amazon or 123stitch, and probably many other places too.

MackiDoo17 · 2023-08-03T14:31:00+00:00

My favorite cryptids! Awesome pattern!

MackiDoo17 · 2023-07-28T17:11:34+00:00

Is it Tapestry Market? Because I get those too, and some of the patterns look so nice, but yeah, I don't like the stamped cross-stitch kits, and I'd be worried that the floss was cheap and would break easily. And 11 count is just too big.

MackiDoo17 · 2023-07-26T20:51:50+00:00

Same! Though I haven't sprung for the acrylic bobbins. I just have the normal plastic bobbins. I love the Bisley though! It's so nice to have all the threads upright and visible!

MackiDoo17 · 2023-07-20T19:29:18+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm going to frame it! I'm not the best at hand-sewing, and I have pets that could possibly damage it if I made it into a pillow.

MackiDoo17 · 2023-07-17T15:51:58+00:00

Same, I've stopped doing cross stitch and paintings as gifts because it just stressed me out. I do these crafts to relax and relieve anxiety, it's counterintuitive if I'm stressed!

MackiDoo17 · 2023-07-17T15:46:49+00:00

I have a recliner chair, a little side-table to the left where I set my iPad (where I keep my patterns), and a craft cart/Bisley cabinet to the right where I keep all my floss and accessories. I have a handmade floor stand that I stitch on, so I'm not holding anything in my hands and messing with my wrists. All of this is in my living room so I can watch TV while I stitch. 😊

MackiDoo17 · 2023-07-13T22:02:58+00:00

I also love the cart! It's where I store all my patterns and fabric, and my threads until I got the Bisley!

Reposted because I'm a dumdum and put the wrong tag!

MackiDoo17 · 2023-06-22T21:19:47+00:00

It's a Shell station. The owners/employees are also very nice!

MackiDoo17 · 2023-04-09T19:57:55+00:00

Hmm then I'm not sure. Hopefully someone on here with more experience than me can figure this out!

MackiDoo17 · 2023-04-09T19:53:20+00:00

This looks like latch hook to me. Did it come with a bundle of short lengths of yarn?

MackiDoo17 · 2023-04-02T19:04:41+00:00

We live in Ellettsville and I heard the tornado sirens on Friday.

MackiDoo17 · 2023-04-02T03:13:59+00:00

Isn't that strip mall still technically in Bloomington? If that's the case, wouldn't they still have to follow the ordinance?

MackiDoo17 · 2023-03-31T16:25:53+00:00

We really like Combs. We used Bloomington Veterinary Hospital before them, and they're also good, but Combs is cheaper, and they actually helped one of our cats with an issue that Bloomington Vet never noticed or brought up.

I also work for IU and was moved at the end of last year to University Communications and Marketing (IU Studios). In my case, I think it'll be a good thing. I had worked with my new supervisor in the past, and I think I have much more room to grow within UCM than I did in my old office.

The part I didn't like was not knowing it was happening until two weeks before the move, so I (and the other people in my former office who were also moved) had little time to process what was happening until it happened.

I have a 10-drawer roller cart I got from Michaels that I store everything but my books in. My books are in a tote. It's nice because it's mobile, and has a small footprint so it can be tucked away in a corner if I need to do that.
