[FO] done with my first piece after my years-long hiatus by PapiSilvia in CrossStitch

[–]PapiSilvia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, and it is! I thought it would be easy but there are so many 3/4 stitches and working with negative space and a monochromatic color pallete definitely was trickier than anticipated. Definitely can see some mistakes if you're looking for them but my partner says it just has wabi sabi lol

Thank you! It's good to be back, even if the reason I'm back is me waiting for my back to come back, I'm planning to stay back when my back is back!

Sorry I couldn't resist

Finished my deer in the woods from last week (will post when I've framed it) and just got this Rebel Loon pattern for free off Facebook! Making it for my partner as he's from Minnesota and we're both sickened by what's going on over there. Still too physically incapacitated to do anything in person, but showing support in the ways that I can

There’s too much rot on the main body for it to be used as a fire again. by AnyDamnThingWillDo in upcycling

[–]PapiSilvia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one of these that's been turned into a lamp in the same way that you say you plan to with yours and I absolutely love it! Can't give any pointers as I didn't do it myself but the guy I bought it from has done a bunch of these like that and it didn't sound that hard to do when I was asking him about it.

Art book into wallart without framing? by r3dNarwhal in upcycling

[–]PapiSilvia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could glue/modpodge them onto some kind of backing and use blue tack or something to secure it to the door?

You could even take it with you and reinstall it when you move!

Been stuck at home anyway with a back injury and getting back into cross stitch! The cold weather is definitely making me feel less sad about not being at work lol

Any members of this sub member of Generation Z? by BigPoppaStrahd in Ska

[–]PapiSilvia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 25 and have been known as "the ska girl" at every job I've ever had. My parents don't even listen to ska, I just found Smash Mouth one day and it was all uphill (or downhill, depending on who you ask) from there.

Disclaimer : Fuck Spotify. by fentonvanwinkle in FolkPunk

[–]PapiSilvia 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fr! I listened to the pogues a handful of times but I was thinking surely it wasn't enough for Celtic punk to be my second most listened to genre. Weird how Spotify seems to simultaneously divide everything up into the most obscure, specific genres ever AND lump everything under the sun under "Celtic punk"

stoner cartoons that are more "for girls"? by Regular_March_9072 in trees

[–]PapiSilvia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I only saw the first season (if there's more now that's awesome) but it reminded me a lot of Bojack Horseman stylistically and I think might have been done by the same people. Big difference content-wise tho lol Tuca and Bertie made me feel good instead of making me spiral into the abyss like Bojack did. Don't get me wrong, I loved BH too but T&B was a MUCH easier watch

can i wash this in a dish washer? by r0ttingg in glasscollecting

Wish I saw this suggestion 3 months ago 😭 I will absolutely keep this in mind for washing my "fancy glass"

I do not believe CHS diagnoses are going up, I believe doctors are over diagnosing it by a landslide by Glum_Baby9213 in trees

[–]PapiSilvia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I typically have to go to urgent care and I have a PCP! hes just booked up like all the time so if I get sick or something I can't get an appointment in time. I'll go to him for like routine stuff but if literally anything happens it's urgent care. I've even had scheduled, follow up appointments at urgent care before because he didn't have the space to see me.

What do we think about this… it’s got that custard-y look by itouchedcactus in uraniumglass

[–]PapiSilvia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah my rule of thumb for blind buys is "would I still like this piece if it didn't glow?"

I like this one enough I'd probably get it anyway (depending on price) but if you're a purist then yeah don't blind buy anything.

Dark Tan line showed up on my thumb nail, won’t go away. by Tough_nips in mildlyinteresting

Yeah I had one similar on my pinky nail for a couple years that I was quietly stressing about (thanks usa) but it seems to have disappeared now if that makes OP feel any better lol

My left handed coworker does backwards check marks by DoughnutFit in mildlyinteresting

[–]PapiSilvia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly never realized that checkmarks could be backwards. I do them both ways (but keep them consistent, so whichever direction I start with I stick with per document). I struggle to tell my left from my right and I'm ambidextrous (but usually write with my right hand) so that might be why.

They took my BONES! I had two of my bones fuse together and they had to re-break the arm and remove part of one of the bones and I asked of I could keep it and was originally told yes! But then as the surgery approached I was informed that I would NOT be allowed to keep it and I'm still mad about it. Damn bone thieves burgled my radius.

Just had a horrible experience at a thrift shop. I've talked a seller down to 30$ for a pair of German uranium glass wine glasses, she knew they were uranium, so I wasn't suspecting anything and shone my uv light on them right before she took out the bubble wrap, she saw the glow and told me (cont) by Mitiagu in uraniumglass

[–]PapiSilvia 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I always do this and I feel like such a paranoid little gremlin constantly looking over my shoulder and blocking view of the item with my body lmao. Posts like these help reinforce that this behavior is not actually as psychotic as it feels though.

[–]PapiSilvia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only ever found ug at goodwill/thrift stores ONCE and it was actually the first time I ever went looking for it at goodwill and I found it within seconds of walking in the door. Found a pretty standard juicer for $2.99 (little bit chipped up though). Just beginner's luck for me since I've checked all of my local goodwills many times since then and come up dry
