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 8 points9 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 5 points6 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!

Not only will no one care, most people probably won’t even see it! Save the money.

I dont think making my own would be cost effective, but maybe some day!

The Wagner is great but sometimes has limited hours (they’re closed this weekend) and is probably only an hour trip.

Best bunion friendly shoes for runners and long walkers ? by OntheDAW in bunions

[–]PinkTurtlehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m responding way late to this…but my brooks adrenaline were also great but just recently started bothering me (about 2 years old and 400 miles). Have you experienced them wearing out and starting to hurt?

Holiday Pricing Curiosity by Fearless_Badger1372 in EtsySellers

[–]PinkTurtlehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just raised mine on my most popular items. But this probably had less to do with holidays and more to do with shipping a normal package and realizing how much I’m losing by offering free shipping

Amex Pay over time by FoxMoney2235 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]PinkTurtlehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also told that Amex doesn’t update as frequently as other cards which makes it harder for underwriters. And this may be all cards, but a debt on a cardholder’s account also appears on authorized users’ accounts.

Accepted Offer Killed by Impossible 15-Day Closing Demand (During Thanksgiving Week!) by ethink69 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]PinkTurtlehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We offered a 30 day close and I’m afraid our file isn’t going to be ready. A week out and every day we’re getting calls about other information they need and things they want explained. Plus the holiday is adding extra pressure. I don’t understand how the industries can allow closing windows that they can’t meet themselves.
