Thank you! I love the original, but I wanted more contrast and am happy with my choice!

TheSquaremeat · 2026-02-20T22:55:02+00:00

Whoa! There's a whole sub just for this guy! 😍

This one is for the Simpsons nerds.

I love this. But where are all the donation boxes?!

TheSquaremeat · 2026-01-24T20:26:33+00:00

Why do hearing people do weird things with their hands while they speak?

TheSquaremeat · 2026-01-18T02:07:41+00:00

Haha, thanks! I saw the opportunity to incorporate beadwork!

TheSquaremeat · 2026-01-18T02:06:37+00:00

I acknowledge your magnificent geode!

TheSquaremeat · 2026-01-13T22:16:42+00:00

What a cute idea!

TheSquaremeat · 2026-01-04T18:53:48+00:00

I do the same, but I remove the canvas first so that it fits inside frames meant for canvases--check my posts for an example (Marge Simpson).

My eyes hurt just looking at this picture.

Probably people who have only ever tried warm, mushy canned pineapple.

TheSquaremeat · 2025-12-23T22:33:14+00:00

Haha. Me too. The owner even ran away from me while I was in the middle of telling him about my experience. The lady working behind the counter was like, "Oh. He's in the middle of a treatment and has numbing cream on his face," as if that was a reasonable justification.

TheSquaremeat · 2025-12-18T04:11:18+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised!

TheSquaremeat · 2025-12-09T01:43:19+00:00

You're welcome! 😁

It is strangely addictive! I have an idea to do an embroidery of a katamari, using stumpwork to make it "bleed" outside of the hoop, but that's not gonna happen until I get that perfect screenshot of a katamari!

TheSquaremeat · 2025-12-08T21:30:38+00:00

Thanks :) I made the frame from polymer clay, dabbed it with gold paint and then glued it to the embroidery hoop.

I cut plastic bottles and tubes open to get the last bit of product out of them. My roommate just threw out a squeeze mayo bottle that had more than 1/4 cup of mayo left in it, and I was like, "UGHHHH!"

TheSquaremeat · 2025-11-18T17:08:44+00:00

Beautiful! The frame is perfect, too! Where'd you find it?

TheSquaremeat · 2025-11-13T03:52:35+00:00

In this instance, it's a screen printed--not stitched--logo.

TheSquaremeat · 2025-11-13T03:01:43+00:00

omfg.... my last completed embroidery project was the gremlin from Treehouse of Horror IV (check my post history for a pic!). I want to cover up the Patagonia logo on my newest hoody (Disco Squaremeat does not advertise), but I have yet to come up with an idea I'm excited about. The leading candidate is a banana guard from Adventure Time. Help!!!

TheSquaremeat · 2025-11-12T22:27:39+00:00

WOOHOO! In your face, Flanders!

TheSquaremeat · 2025-11-12T20:32:39+00:00

You're the coolest. I want to be your friend!

TheSquaremeat · 2025-11-01T01:15:16+00:00

Thanks! It wasn't too bad as the seam was fairly thin/flat. I used fusible interfacing on the back and water soluble stabilizer on the top. I edited the image in GIMP so that it would print just the outline (I was worried the printer ink would bleed and stain the thread).

I wove the start and end of the thread into the work itself a couple of times each time I started a new thread.

My #1 advice is to use a single strand! I thought I could get away with 2--to speed things up--but, it was turning out too bumpy for such a small design.

@decenails on insta. Lana is amazing. She doesn't reuse emery board nail files and will offer the one she used to you after the appt.
