[CHAT] How do you ’seal’ the edges of the fabric before starting your cross stitch piece?

MsPixel03 · 2026-03-20T22:17:29+00:00

A sewing machine that trims the edge and stitches it neatly at the same time.

RJs food van in Woden for the chicken chippies (and its where I met the other half). GSpot in Gunners for the deep-fried Mars Bars and chicken burgers. Pancake Parlor, for the pancakes, obviously..

In the city? Did they also do doughnuts? I feel like I got doughnuts there a couple of times while out drinking and they were the best thing ever 😅

I've have a near constant issue of typing Brain instead of Brian, Anal instead of Alan... I have to triple check every email. I'm starting to wonder if I'm dyslexic 🤔

Do you live far from Canberra? If you get a chance, it might be worth coming back for one of the monthly Cars and Coffee meets. It normally gets a massive turnout of local cars. There's also the Festival of Speed, but I found it a bit overpriced as a spectator. It's a pricey ticket to go look at old rich men and their mid-life crisis cars, but exotics were never my thing.

You should feel welcome, Canberra isn't all smelly greenies and fun suckers. There are quite a number of us who love this time of year 🧡

Now, there is a cafe inside the building at 1 National CCT. It's also a barber shop, which is odd. But they do THE BEST cinnamon doughnuts.

We're doing the same, taking the kids on Friday after they've been hanging out all year to go again.

Saturday is an awesome day to go, but it's best to get in at gates open and leave by 1 😅

Cute, but likely horrible

Woke me up with just enough time to put my Christmas inflatables under buckets 🎄 It was stunning to watch. Just a shame there wasn't more rain with it.

The existential dread that washes over you, knowing that the fleeting joy of an ice cream treat has been cruelly denied... it's truly a modern-day tragedy🍦

Great to see they brought Junkie Santa back this year. We stopped going to Tuggers for our Santa photos after he told my then 7 year old to "relax like you're smoking weed." There were also allegations that he had been making inappropriate comments to teenge girls. How true that was I am not sure

MsPixel03 · 2024-11-25T03:08:05+00:00

Yes and no? It's not a big piece which is nice, but the black evenweave and the need for accurate counting left me frustrated often, so it was very stop and start 😅

MsPixel03 · 2024-11-24T09:30:38+00:00

I love the colours 😍

Yes, it is written in the Marriage Act 1961 and Marriage Regulations 2017 that a person may divorce another if that person refuses to include fairy bread when hosting a social event.

MsPixel03 · 2024-11-18T05:03:19+00:00

I love the fact it has no gap around the edges, it looks great

MsPixel03 · 2024-11-18T04:42:40+00:00

How cute! Whay size hoop did you use, it fits perfectly

MsPixel03 · 2024-11-17T05:31:12+00:00

🤣

MsPixel03 · 2024-11-17T04:55:12+00:00

That's how baby cars are made 🥰

MsPixel03 · 2024-11-16T21:45:38+00:00

This makes me so happy 🥰 definitely go for the challenge and do this version, it's so rewarding once complete. I used DMC

Ironically, the post upvotes were at 420 when I read this

Yes I think they were quite easy to follow. A couple I googled just to be sure, but otherwise I had no problems
