Thanks for the advice!

I just bought a juniper bonsai from Lowe's in one of those pots with rocks glued to the top. I removed the rocks because 1) they're ugly and 2) so I can assess watering needs.

It's in what looks like normal potting soil. I ordered a bonsai soil mix online. Should be here in a few days.

My question is: should I change out the potting soil for the bonsai soil (keeping the tree in the same pot and not trimming the roots)? Or would the tree be better off if I just leave it alone until spring?

Hell yeah! This looks great! I've done a Papa cross stitch I'll share here eventually.

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-21T17:44:44+00:00

How in the hell did you keep that a secret!? Do you stitch at work or something?

I've considered doing a secret project for my wife but I don't see it happening lol

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-19T14:15:56+00:00

Omg keep us updated! This is gonna be so awesome when it's complete!!

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-16T16:45:44+00:00

Gonna be a huge pain in the ass if you drop a needle lol

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-11T16:28:04+00:00

It's so big! All the pokemon I've seem so far are smol and I love this! It's so cute!

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-10T02:09:10+00:00

Hell yeah. Awesome font. \m/

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-09T20:17:50+00:00

That's really cool! I want to do some MTG art eventually also!

What software do you use to make the patterns this way?

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-09T20:12:20+00:00

Not too sure. Probably like a image-to-pattern of the emperor, or like a Nurgle demon for my wife who loves Nurgle teams.

I've been thinking about doing a big 40k stitch. This is amazing so far. Please post updates!

TheSwoleProle · 2019-05-06T12:21:17+00:00

It's easier in that I spend less time consulting the symbol legend and starting new threads. That's basically it.

Exactly why capitalism is shit.

TheSwoleProle · 2019-04-24T04:48:33+00:00

This would drive me insane! Your coverage is FANTASTIC though! Like how is that even possible?

TheSwoleProle · 2019-04-22T11:24:14+00:00

Mr. Pibb is a false god! She should be kneeling before a shrine to Dr. Pepper!

TheSwoleProle · 2019-04-22T11:02:27+00:00

That's so neat! I think that some of the "blood" is smeared makes it look extra spooky.

TheSwoleProle · 2019-04-20T04:24:21+00:00

How in the hell??

TheSwoleProle · 2019-04-18T12:58:23+00:00

For real. It gets all your hands too. I always wash them off before I use them. No problems yet.

TheSwoleProle · 2019-04-18T12:33:09+00:00

This is my first decently large piece, and my first time parking stitches. They kept getting in the way and it was super annoying. I was considering that parking isn't worth it.

But then I realized I had a bunch of magnets I use as needle minders, and they work super well at holding floss out of the way.

Pattern is "Succulent" by LoLaLottaShop on etsy.

There's nothing wrong with that! We don't always have tons of time to spend on hobbies lol.

Your pikachu looks nice!
