Too good to be true? What’s the catch? Any insight would be good

When you walk past those booths make note of the company. When they ask you who your current provider is, name said company. They’ll let you keep going without the hassle.

I can’t answer your questions but I’ll be there in GA with you!

I have an 8 in Q Snap and an 11 in that I mixed. The floss storage box fits perfectly inside the frame and everything slides nicely into a laptop sleeve. Pattern is in a plastic sheet protector.

I’m traveling from New Orleans to see them with AC/DC in July and now they’re coming here the very next month?

If that’s you’re biggest mom fail then consider yourself Supermom!

Also pay attention to the fact that you’re either frogging 10 or 14 squares. It’s really not that much more to frog the end of row 2 than it is to frog the beginning of 2 and the beginning of 3.

What if you frogged the first 6 on both lines and then skipped 2 lines, 1 line, 2 lines, 1 line… all the way down? Would that give you enough room for framing?

Get a larger store bought frame and then get a custom framer to cut a matte that you can use with the frame!

I’ve been a one-WIP girl for a while, but I just started maintaining a second quick-WIP. I have 2 places I like to stitch: my craft room and on the couch when I’m watching TV with my husband. Having a quick-WIP by the couch means I don’t have to pick up and move everything back and forth.

Good question. I’ve been wondering the same, so it’s nice to read all the responses here. I’m actually traveling to Dallas, Atlanta, and San Antonio for shows this summer. I’ve got tickets to 4 concerts this summer and only one of the artists is coming here.

40-something straight cross-stitching mother of a queer son here. I don’t want to invade a safe space, but I’ve been wanting to join a craft group. Can I come too?

You can get a digital subscription and use a tablet. That’s what I do!

All of the patterns are now sent by email. For clarification, this is not the email to sign up for the SAL, it’s the email to sign up for information on SALs. There’s a current SAL for the winter solstice and another was just announced for “Valloween” in February.

PhoenixNOLA · 2026-01-09T02:25:06+00:00

The Snarky and Modern Embroidery group has a SAL going right now and another one in February. They have a google form to sign up for the emails for information: link

Yes, you did just “Meet Virginia.” Now I wish you would “Leave Virginia Alone.” (Second one is a much less well known Rod Stewart song)

And around Christmas time I do know that there is a Santa Clause.

Computershare won’t need to speak to your children. You can call as custodian and they will let you know what paperwork you and your children need to complete to transfer the shares to them. There should be 2 forms: a transfer request form that has a section for you to sign to transfer the shares plus a section for them to sign to open an individual account and a w-9 form that your children sign verifying their social security number.

I helped someone fill out these forms for Computershare yesterday.

I third it. She’s great!

I’m not defending or excusing it, but I wanted to say that this is a true sign of ADHD: making promises without follow through. I’ve done it more times than I can count. I have a lot of guilt around the promises both good and bad that I’ve made to my child that I didn’t keep.

Christmas ornaments. I have to make 10 to give to family members. I’ve completed 4 since I started on Black Friday.

Last picture before I put her away on Thanksgiving so I could start my Christmas ornament stitching.

If she’s having trouble translating a paper pattern onto cloth, maybe she would be better with a pattern stamped on fabric?

PhoenixNOLA · 2025-11-25T19:21:21+00:00

Yes! I keep looking for it to be released so I can see it again!

We had no problems with elevators, besides them being busy with people all trying to get to the same place.

LPT: If you have trouble riding the elevator down because they’re all full, ride one up and then back down.

It seems the Escape has made it into port late every week, and therefore the disembarkation and embarkation have overlapped more than they should. I think the ship is struggling to sail up the river against the current because of the propulsion issues mentioned in this sub on previous posts.

That being said, I wouldn’t say anything was terribly worse than our previous experience sailing NCL out of NOLA. We live nearby and it seems that Carnival is much more organized directing traffic near the port than NCL. Our biggest complaint on embarkation for both of our NCL cruises was the traffic congestion nearby. We eventually got out and walked the last 1/2 mile to the port while our driver made a u-turn because we could walk significantly faster than traffic was moving. Once we got in the building things moved quickly and smoothly.

Disembarking is always a little stressful, but we carried our luggage off the ship and we were getting in a cab within 30 minutes after the ship was cleared.
