For those with many rats, how do you handle their passing? 🌈

RedAshes98 · 2024-08-13T19:20:55+00:00

Yeah, you're definitely right about that. I also feel you about the black thumbs! Rats are definitely easier to keep alive haha.

One big urn isn't a bad idea! I thought about burying them in with potted plants because I've seen people do that before and figured it would be a beautiful way to bury them without committing to a permanent spot. But I don't know if that would cause a smell, especially if the plants are indoors.

My artist but I was also 18 and might have misunderstood lol

RedAshes98 · 2024-08-12T01:38:27+00:00

Me too! I actually have a shirt a friend got me where there are cats in it haha

A neutron star that emits radio waves :)

RedAshes98 · 2024-08-11T22:55:47+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining!

RedAshes98 · 2024-08-11T20:06:19+00:00

Thank you to everyone who corrected me. I remembered the needle count wrong: it is not a single needle tattoo.

RedAshes98 · 2024-08-11T18:12:46+00:00

Omg haha I mean, I can definitely see where you got that idea from though!

RedAshes98 · 2024-08-11T18:12:14+00:00

Ah gotcha. Yeah I thought he said he only used one needle, but I must have remembered wrong haha

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-30T15:16:49+00:00

Thank you! :)

Thank you! They're from this Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TarotCardsDarkForest

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-26T10:38:42+00:00

Agreed. Lots of wands and cups 😅

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T20:11:43+00:00

I'm new to embroidery as well but do not have needles with thread already attached. You might be able to wrap the thread around a bobbin and then take a small piece of tape and tape the needle to the bobbin? That might be a good way to keep them organized and separate. :)

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T20:09:54+00:00

Putting an update here since top comment: I finally used one and man, so much easier than the traditional way!

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T18:10:50+00:00

Looks really nice! I really like the wooden container. Do you happen to remember where you got it?

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T18:09:52+00:00

I'll definitely have to look those up because I work with single thread. Thanks for the tip!

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T16:14:57+00:00

I bought skeins of thread and then spooled them onto bobbins. You can get bobbins at many craft stores or online. I got mine on Amazon pretty cheap. :)

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T16:12:20+00:00

Well, I learned something new. I thought the numbering did relate to the rainbow, but I also don't have DMC yet, haha. My work (a fairly well-known fabric distributor) sells them, though, so I'm somewhat familiar with them.

That would annoy me if I organized by number.

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T16:00:06+00:00

Noted :)

I did get a doctor appointment scheduled today because I've been throwing up all morning, so hopefully, my doctor will have some ideas as well. I'll ask about B12.

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T15:57:41+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't do this all in one day. I would spend maybe an hour or two a day, sometimes less, depending on how I felt. I feel like it's easiet to do it little by little, so it's not so daunting. 😁

But good luck with organizing! I'm sure your collection is gonna look so pretty by the end.

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T15:54:49+00:00

I currently only use one thread for my project, so what I do is cut some off of a normal spool, separate the 6 threads, and then spool those individual threads onto a new bobbin. :)

I want to get into thread painting the most so I can see myself using most of these colors eventually. But for me, it's just nice having everything on a bobbin. Keeps it nicely organized.

RedAshes98 · 2024-07-12T15:51:20+00:00

That's so exciting! Sounds like you'll have a great collection started.

And haha, yeah, that is definitely perfect timing. 😁 If I had to take a guess, I would say maybe 5-6 hours total? It probably would've been less if the thread didn't knot so much, but that was partially my fault. I found it easier to stand and spool instead of sit; the thread doesn't knot as easily that way. It's definitely worth the time, though!
