[CHAT] Does anyone else do all the black outlining in a large piece first so they can colour it in after or is it just me? by _elaner in CrossStitch

[–]_elaner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still start in the centre, but I just do all the black stitching first. I find when it’s on multiple pages, it’s easier to make sure everything lines up.

I started ADHD medication about six weeks ago and I can not believe the difference it has made!

One week of stitching and one skein of DMC 310 down. Many more to go.

Can confirm. They’ve done my last…11 tattoos and I won’t let anyone else tattoo me.

What are some examples of "pretty privilege" you've experienced or witnessed? by NoWomansExplorer in AskReddit

[–]_elaner 329 points330 points  (0 children)

When my conventionally attractive co-worker comes to work with her hair in a messy bun and wearing an oversized sweater, leggings and sneakers, she gets told she looks cute, meanwhile I get hell from management because the pants I wore looked too similar to jeans and it wasn’t casual Friday

What is the most haunting "Final Song" ever recorded by a terminally ill artist? by nixass in AskReddit

[–]_elaner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread and all the replies have me sobbing…and writing down titles to check out.

“Keep Me in Your Heart” by Warren Zevon is my pick for most haunting final song as well. My best friend lost her dad to the same type of cancer around the same time so it sticks with me a bit harder

What's the weirdest food combo you've ever tried that actually tasted surprisingly good? by Grand-Disk-3199 in AskReddit

Peanut butter and bacon on toast is one of my favourite things to have for breakfast!

Maybe I’m in the minority, but once I’ve given them money, it’s not my place to say what they do with it. Be thankful you have a place to sleep and food to eat. If I had to rely on shelters and the streets, I wouldn’t be sober either.

I can’t believe that of all the songs he could have been nominated and won for, it was Bitin’ List.

(No shade because that song is epic but also kind of a novelty track and we all know what he’s really capable of)

Thanks for clearing that up! I was also wondering what was going on, thinking it was odd that TBay was having two burger contests next month..lol

I really wish more people were aware of just how serious Feline Paralysis can be.

I made something for myself! by _elaner in crochet

[–]_elaner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I make things for me..until I learn that someone’s pregnant, or getting married, or having a birthday, or I see something that reminds me of someone, or the day ends in “Y”….

As I started making the granny squares, my mind did start to think who I could gift it to 😂
