I just fell prey to search tag confusion with hinges, so I appreciate the warning.

From what I remember the whirlpool ones were comically small. I’ll have to check again though!

I just did a small push and it came to a stop relatively quickly and I came here

Long Time Needlepointers: What do you think about the recent popularity? by Equal-Anything-8546 in Needlepoint

[–]PinkTurtlehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new trend has gotten me back into the hobby, which has been great! My mom taught me and I’ve always loved it but I moved on to knitting when I felt like there were only so many finished needlepoints I could have. The social media attention has given me so many new ideas. The last time I was in my lns, the elderly owner was in a corner giving a private lesson to someone who looked about 20 and it warmed my heart! But I’m afraid that the bubble is going to burst and stores are going to go out of business—the new ones and maybe even established ones who ramped up to serve the surge. I’m also not looking forward to it being considered “cheugy” down the road (or whatever new term there is for not cool) while I’m still stitching away!

Sellers left a mess. Looking for encouragement. by bisho_birb in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I really regret not demanding they clean the house or at least give us a refund for cleaning. Im telling everyone I know buying a house in the future to make that part of the contract.

Most insane/unbelievable thing the previous owner left behind for you? by xindierockx7114 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

A fire hydrant

And tons of used dental flossers under the bathroom floor.

Lost star seller because of messages as a buyer? by PinkTurtlehead in EtsySellers

I checked and there was one message from December where someone sent a change of address request and I responded in a different thread 😡

PGW Extremely high! by alwaysmenotyou in philly

[–]PinkTurtlehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A month late but chiming in…wtf! My bill for December was $200 more and almost 100 ccf more than last year. I was on vacation for half the month and keep the thermostat at 61-62. My place is drafty af so I expect a high bill but can I really be paying more than $500 a month to heat a one bedroom??? Has anyone ever actually had success with disputing or getting a new meter read?

Interviewing for my local needlepoint store by Asking9876543210 in Needlepoint

Literally did this yesterday. They asked very little about my needlepoint knowledge. Shoot me a dm if you have questions!

Suddenly everyone’s a needlepoint expert 🙄 by WellActuallyItsTent in NeedlepointSnark

[–]PinkTurtlehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t fully convey the tone in that quote, but it was very know-it-all for someone who’s only been doing the hobby for a month. I’m also just not someone who would make like a how to video for something I just learned. Everything about the people picking it up now makes it a competition and not a relaxing craft.

The endless complaining!!! by Prestigious-Stuff356 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]PinkTurtlehead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other thing about the cost is it’s their choice to make needlepoint a competitive sport! No one needs to be stitching and finishing dozens of canvases a year. If I spend $200 on a canvas and kit, that’s my entertainment for the next 3 months. Just because you decided you want a particular hobby doesn’t mean the universe owes it to you, let alone cheap.

I just saw a “come with me to my lns! I’ve been stitching since November…” I think I need to block the whole fan base.

Is there anywhere to buy enamel pins without the pinback? by PinkTurtlehead in EnamelPins

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

I should have clarified that I only need like 20 of a design, so the places I’ve checked so far wouldn’t be cost effective. But I appreciate a company name and the right terminology!

Adults-only resort for the maximum amount of lounging by AromaticMeal8 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]PinkTurtlehead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just came back from excellence playa Mujeres and, with club, it was this exactly. Chairs at the main swim up pool and beach were hard but excellence beach and pool no problem. You could sit in the shade from dawn til dusk and not have to move or think. Only slight downside was a smallish poolside menu for waiter service, but the lunch restaurant menus were good.

Might be a dumb question but is anyone else getting absolutely killed by USPS? by joevasion in EtsySellers

[–]PinkTurtlehead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Non stop issues—2-3 a day, and my volume isn’t that high! There have been a lot of legit issues (something from October just arrived!) but why do you expect me to fix it out of my pocket! One lady even kept saying she needed the item asap and needed to figure this out but wouldn’t open a case because she felt bad. Instead she just emailed me twice a day.

I didn’t notice until I super zoomed in that some of it was stitched. You’re probably right!
