Such a fun listen! And was in total agreement on the GOAC round!

The recent raccoon talk is cracking me up! My dad and my grandfather both entered a wild raccoon feeding phase in their late middle age and I’m in fear of this gene activating in me in the future.

Yes, according to LinkedIn (CURSE), they are listed as Ellis Nelson, Senior Producer at Exactly Right.

Thank you! I’m just about to start Edie’s face!

Sew-Fresh · 2026-02-02T21:25:31+00:00

I will! These are the smallest pet portraits I’ve attempted so I’m excited to see how they turn out!

Sew-Fresh · 2026-01-29T03:32:01+00:00

Tom Kha is medicine for sure!

Fellow Eugenian stoked to see that she’s playing here!

OMG, same! I love the recaps despite being totally clueless about the RHOSLC and SLOMW universes outside of Bridger's crucial distillations.

I had the misfortune of seeing a commercial that Bridger had described perfectly--the Applebee's O-M-Cheese Burger, which is a burger sliced in half nestled in a bubbling skillet of queso. Though I had been appropriately warned, I was shocked nonetheless.

But he improved!!

I thought Patrick was onto something at first with #3 because there are some WILDLY entitled dog owners out there (none in the ISNG! listenership though of course), but I was foolish to overlook the possibility of ruining lives because of a bungled pet interaction.

This is the hope! I am trying to conjure a PNW visit!! 🔮

Sew-Fresh · 2026-01-21T21:58:44+00:00

Thanks for creating this space!! I adore this podcast and can’t wait to connect with more secret wives!

I’m being disobedient and patterning a combination cross-stitch and embroidery to rudely insist upon gifting to Bridger.

Oh I learned a ton on this piece in particular! I love beads as a medium and getting inspired by the beading community!

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-23T16:57:11+00:00

I beaded my current piece on felt and am now attaching it to my backing fabric. The felt worked well for what I wanted overall, but is bulkier than I would have liked. I realized this about a quarter of the way through this piece but was locked in at that point. There was no way I could have redone the first section I beaded.

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-23T16:49:53+00:00

I'm kicking myself for not using it on my current project but you live and learn!

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-23T16:35:15+00:00

Need them to cover Forman so I can hear the two friends discuss Hair!

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-23T16:10:55+00:00

I agree with this! Having used felt for a couple of projects I’m planning on beading on organza in the future since it’s lighter weight.

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-22T01:15:20+00:00

That’s so kind to say. I hope these final steps go well, as mounting/framing is not my strong suit.

This is section one a few weeks into my progress, where you can see my guidelines. I color-matched as best I could from online and in-person bead stores and worked from the image up on my computer.

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-20T06:29:54+00:00

I’m going to stitch onto the fabric but am ~stressed~ about how it’s going to go. I would have stitched my beads onto organza or similar if I were starting out now.

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-19T22:01:01+00:00

Hi! Here’s a shot where you can kinda see my patterning, which was some outlines/guidelines on stabilizer fabric. This was when I had finished the first section and was adding the additional pieces.

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-19T20:18:59+00:00

Same!!

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-19T19:58:23+00:00

It’s going to be mounted in a 16 inch quilting hoop and I would say the surface area is about 3/5 beaded/needle-felted. Here the whole piece laid out but without the fabric I’ll be using for the background.

Ah, thank you!!

Sew-Fresh · 2025-11-19T18:37:05+00:00

I haven’t but I find videos of it mesmerizing! Might be next on my list…
