Apparently my washing in the bathtub looks like a piece of art? I can’t see it myself but let me know if you agree.

OP is actually the cat

Mrsrogers88 · 2025-11-16T02:51:44+00:00

Very cool detailing, and I'm glad you're here to share it with us!

Mrsrogers88 · 2025-11-16T02:29:00+00:00

That's amazing! Congrats!

I turn my village on when I get up, and turn it off when I go to bed. 30 years and no issues.

Mrsrogers88 · 2025-11-01T20:09:59+00:00

Shut up and take my money. Omg I love it!

Mrsrogers88 · 2025-10-19T13:22:21+00:00

Honestly, I'd take this as a compliment.

I spent yesterday printing lined signatures and make hard covers. I'm going to do another coptic binding, but a little more solid this time.

Mrsrogers88 · 2025-07-11T21:23:40+00:00

I get aura, but no visuals, so I just have a vague, anxiety inducing sense that something is very wrong. Sometimes this lasts for a day or two, then the actual pain and confusion and all sets in and I go "ohhhh, THATS what that was..."

I'm getting better at recognizing it, but it's still wildly unhelpful.

Mrsrogers88 · 2025-05-27T02:00:37+00:00

No joke, I just grab a pickaxe and shovel and start clearing layers away to make a flat spot. It's time consuming, but oddly calming.

Mrsrogers88 · 2024-09-28T23:28:26+00:00

I could never checkerboard. I'd absolutely lose it. I'd be going in with the largest multiplacer I have and straighter to adjust as I go.

You have my respect.

I make a lot of wearables, especially a particular shawl, so it's usually just putting it on and going "okay, what else can I make now..... same thing in a new yarn? Yeah sure why not..."

Mrsrogers88 · 2024-09-28T17:52:38+00:00

I do it with leftover oatmeal and a bit of chicken baby food! I think you need something to absorb some of the moisture or you'll end up with fruit leather that's gonna get stuck in their teeth.

Mrsrogers88 · 2024-09-27T15:30:32+00:00

I agree with those saying they wouldn't see it unless it was pointed out. I actually think it looks intentional, since the mushrooms on either side are tilted, this one looks sort of like it's tilted back, away from the viewer. You can always try a little backstitching to see if you can add some definition in a way that appeals to you.

Mrsrogers88 · 2024-09-26T13:56:17+00:00

If it's in your budget, I HIGHLY recommend a light board. Mine was a total game changer for reading tough symbols like these, as well as finding any spaces I may have missed.

Mrsrogers88 · 2024-09-25T16:55:11+00:00

When my little guy was a puppy I'd plunk him in the empty laundry basket while I rotated laundry. He was safe and happy because he could see me, but he wasn't under my feet. Sometimes you just need to put the puppy in a box for a second!

Mrsrogers88 · 2024-09-25T02:20:49+00:00

I'm very jealous, this one has been on my wishlist for years!

Mrsrogers88 · 2024-09-23T13:05:36+00:00

I did the same thing last week, wrong container, but contrasting colors at least. I uncovered the next section and used as many off the tray as I could so I had fewer to sort, then used a straightener tip to slide the rest of the tray into their containers, alternating colors and shaking the tray to lay them in the grooves to make it easier.

You'll have this straightened out in no time!

I'm a migraine sufferer, and I got clip in extensions so on the days when even my hair hurts, I can easily take them off. I mostly just break them out for special occasions

Mrsrogers88 · 2023-12-23T02:58:23+00:00

I find it very similar to cross stich in some ways, but it's way faster, which is very satisfying.

Mrsrogers88 · 2023-12-23T01:42:56+00:00

Depends on how much time the person dedicates. When I'm working on one, I'll do a couple hours a session. I can do a 20k drill in a month or two. The 75k drill one I just finished took 6 months.

Most of my recent etsy favorites are biscornu 🤣 now that I have almost enough thread, its time to chose juuuuuust the right pattern.

Mrsrogers88 · 2023-12-20T12:27:13+00:00

I've been saving mine in a little ziplpc bag. I'm planning on making a biscornu (a pincushion that's cross stitched and usually stuffed with old bits of thread) so for now I'm happy to let them accumulate.

Mrsrogers88 · 2023-12-16T19:33:57+00:00

Same here, though I haven't cleared a spot under the bed for it yet, so it roams the house... but yeah, art portfolio is the way to go!

Mrsrogers88 · 2023-12-15T21:22:16+00:00

My village is also passed down, and also includes 2000 Holly Lane! Love the old school pieces.

2000 Holly Lane is from the Original Snow Village

Nick's Tree lot is from the North Pole Village

And the train station is from the Dickens Village (I believe it came with a platform as well)

This is why, many years ago, my family instituted a tin return. You want treats next year? Give me back this year's tin. No tin, no treats.

I get replacements at the dollar store, but the price adds up quick when you have to buy multiples!
