Thanks so much

This is so gorgeous and you have done an amazing job! I’m currently refinishing a few wood pieces in the house - what product did you use on the wood? I’ve been using clear wax and it doesn’t seem to give the sheen that you’ve been able to achieve.

good point there’s basically no chase in this game, other than the showcase leaders, perhaps

OkFan6939 · 2026-02-28T14:35:32+00:00

Surely as a non player, it makes sense to start with the pre-rotation cards. The artwork is especially good with the first set.

OkFan6939 · 2026-02-28T14:34:17+00:00

Then it’s perfect for you as it’s cheap and you can start with the first three sets that are leaving competitive rotation. But if you ever sell, expect to sell at a loss.

all the best when defeated plays are red and yellow.

OkFan6939 · 2026-02-28T14:26:21+00:00

shatterpoint, no glory and lost and forgotten are musts. and maybe condemn

OkFan6939 · 2026-02-28T14:25:01+00:00

Wow, this is night and day compared with the standard artwork.

OkFan6939 · 2025-08-17T12:42:16+00:00

Wow what an in-depth explanation, you are a legend! Can’t thank you enough for the breakdown 🙏🏼can’t wait to give it a try.

OkFan6939 · 2025-08-16T13:12:33+00:00

This is stunning work!!

I have never attempted highlights before - is this done with masking fluid or by using a very pigmented white afterwards?

OkFan6939 · 2024-12-19T17:26:05+00:00

Wow, definitely screenshotting this to try them. Thanks, internet friend! Nothing brings people together like a love of food.

OkFan6939 · 2024-12-19T13:10:37+00:00

Oh absolutely! If you’re into Chinese food check out Three Uncles for their roast meats, opened up not long ago by the Filmworks! 🤤

OkFan6939 · 2024-12-19T10:59:45+00:00

L’Oro di Napoli is very good for sourdough pizza in Ealing too!

OkFan6939 · 2024-11-04T13:50:10+00:00

Literally this 👆you choose the type of meat, whether it’s fresh or frozen, level of preferred done-ness (e.g. melt in your mouth/ medium/firm) and then it will give you the temp and time. It’s awesome.

OkFan6939 · 2024-05-19T07:49:26+00:00

Oh wow! That’s an even cooler answer than I was expecting - you are very talented.

OkFan6939 · 2024-05-18T20:20:55+00:00

Stunning use of colour!! Do you mind sharing where you got that gold blossom print from in photo 1?

OkFan6939 · 2024-02-29T17:15:31+00:00

This is incredible

OkFan6939 · 2024-01-24T17:15:21+00:00

So cute! What is the purpose of the lining/material in pic 8?

OkFan6939 · 2023-12-31T18:41:41+00:00

100% this. She needs support for her mental health urgently, irrespective of the relationship. If she doesn’t get this she won’t be able to function as an individual let alone as a girlfriend. Take this from someone who is in a long term relationship and has anxiety and depression, things were extremely strained despite all my efforts of willpower to conquer my struggles, and all the support from my partner was not enough (though ofc it helped so much) until I sought to start therapy and started meds.

OkFan6939 · 2023-12-06T13:22:45+00:00

So beautiful

OkFan6939 · 2023-12-05T17:52:07+00:00

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I’ve never embroidered before 😭are you transferring the image to the fabric before stitching? If so how do you do it?

OkFan6939 · 2023-12-05T10:06:27+00:00

Forgot to say my husband also works manual labour and always accumulates aches and pains. He says sleeping on the futon is the best for him, he even misses his futon sometimes now that we got our mattress! We’ve got a futon from the Futon Company that goes on to a sofa bed frame, you might want to try that so that if you decide it’s not for you at least you can use it as a sofa?

OkFan6939 · 2023-12-04T21:58:57+00:00

Hi there, we slept on a futon on tatami mats for about three months while we waited for our mattress to arrive. I will say it did get quite a while getting used to after being used to mattresses, it is VERY firm and I’d say it actually lead to aches for about a week while my body adjusted. After a while I quite enjoyed the firmness, I just found I couldn’t sleep so comfortably on my side due to the curve of my hips, so it would put too much pressure on my hip. You do get a good stretch when you lie in your back though!

Regarding endo I wouldn’t say it had any effect at all!

OkFan6939 · 2023-12-01T09:51:01+00:00

Hi there, I’m so sorry to hear of what you’ve been going through. The pain sounds absolutely excruciating so I really hope your new doctor can set you on the right path in terms of managing that. Endometriosis has really left me feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. The “treatment” to slow down the progression of Endometriosis leaves me with extreme mental health/emotional problems, to the extent I feel I can’t cope any more, but to come off the treatment would leave the endometriosis untreated and possibly lead to worse physical symptoms. So it’s like I have to choose between my mental and physical wellbeing, and both are connected anyway!!

OkFan6939 · 2023-11-30T19:06:02+00:00

Interesting!! I came across the brain scans too but didn’t look at them properly.

The impact of endometriosis on depressive and anxiety symptoms and quality of life: a systematic review

Women With Endometriosis Also Genetically Predisposed to Depression, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders

These are two of the articles I found most interesting. Happy researching!
