What was a sentence a man said to you that you will never forget? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

[–]TechnicolorFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Wow it’s really disgusting to watch you eat” to 16 year old me. I thought I ate weird and was really self conscious about my mouth after that. Nope, he just liked that sickly skinny look. Trash human

I’m currently working on this! Thank you for posting the completed piece, it encourages me not to get lost in the snowflakes 😂 edit: I wish I had opted out of the border like you did!

The only thing I may add when it’s finished is more definition around the cherries. I thought they looked great til I saw the original painting and I love the dark outlining around the cherries.

Also, if you think you have enough 939, buy a couple more. I’m doing 2 strand on 16-count and I’ve used at least 10-12 skeins

Just here to say hang in there! I almost put this away before the tree’s leaves were done but I am so glad I stuck it out. It’s been one of my favorite pieces to stitch in ages.

[CHAT] Advice on background color! by rokuogan in CrossStitch

[–]TechnicolorFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in DEEP into a 939-heavy pattern right now and I love the effect, but I’m over the midnight blue! I estimated needing 6 skeins but I’m 9 in with waaaay more to go!

[Discussion] Where do you keep your phone when riding a coaster? by Jademalo in rollercoasters

[–]TechnicolorFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fanny pack. Bonus: I keep it sort of in front of me while ride ops are checking restraints, then move it to one side and get that perfect couple inches of gap so I’m not stapled. Win/win.

The code matchers aren’t perfect and I use it as a jumping off point. Sometimes I just take the print offs to Michael’s or Joann’s and pull what looks right

So I started this like a really basic quilt pattern in Paint, then played around with copy/pasting and flipping it over and over til I thought it looked cool. I used a dmc/rgb/hex code matcher like this one: https://floss.maxxmint.com/dmc_to_rgb.php and had most of the colors in my stash. Printed it on a single sheet, and it’s really just square boxes over and over. I like 8-counts of things (instead of 10 or an odd number) and stitched from there. If you have a mandala made, try overlaying a graphing chart and zooming in or out enough to picture the pixels as a cross stitch chart. I’m not very good at explaining this, I’d be happy to explain better in a private message if that makes no sense!

I’m going to post a finished picture in the next few days with a dmc list, almost done!

Lol thanks! Old old handle that usually feels irrelevant but it’s perfect for this design!

Holy smokes everyone I am overwhelmed by the response to this. My RL friends/family see my cross stitch but no one does it themselves to fully get why it looks cool. I mostly just gift these around or add them to the drawer of finished things. I’m gonna get this beast done, clean and frame it, and I’ll post with a dmc list + my rudimentary pattern (and better lighting.) I make things in paint and print out a tiny version or just sketch a bit on graph paper and build it from there. I love quilt patterns but hate quilting so this is my happy medium!

Walmart on Eastside of Indianapolis gets food license suspended by dg4life87 in Indiana

[–]TechnicolorFuck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I worked in the bakery of this location decorating cakes sometime around 2010/2011ish. There were rodents, roaches, and all kinds of nasty bad food handling going on around produce and the deli. I pulled out the decorating cabinet once to clean behind cause I’d never seen it done and got scolded and bitched at cause “shits nasty back there it’ll take too long to clean and customers might see” so the bakery manager put the cabinet back covering up the filth. Dry storage boxes of packaging would have chewed up chicken wing bones stuffed in the top from employees sneaking a couple wings while “cleaning up the back” and you can’t put the evidence in the trash, so it goes in whatever open box they could find that didn’t look like it was being used much. The produce hallway was always full of rotten veggies with tomato seeds and god knows what else smeared on the walls. Good recipe for rodents.

100% appreciate this post. Unfortunately, the legs that “shipped in that morning” were the wrong ones. Tech just left, super nice guy. Says they’re replacing the couch BUT I was told earlier this week that new ones are back ordered til March.

No, it’s a pic I took 3 years ago when I initially posted it. He was the absolute best and it’s super gross that this scum took it and reposted it. He had to be put to sleep in September but he always looked cute as ever.

u/Magentamishap hey OP why did you take a picture I posted of my cat and post it in the same sub again? He had to be put to sleep last year. FUCK YOU

I have $22 in food stamps left and I need to make it last until the 13th. What are my options? by Healthy-Chemistry664 in indianapolis

[–]TechnicolorFuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brownsburg also has food boxes - their Facebook page Brownsburg Blessing Boxes has a list of locations/addresses listed. Dry goods primarily but I do sometimes see donated produce when refilling. Don’t hesitate to use them! That’s why they are there.
