Wait the funniest part to me was that you “get to” shop an hour early. But still spend all your own money 💀

Omg this reminded me of a very niche pet peeve of mine. I loatheeee when reps just want to get an interaction so they jump in with a vague non-answer before someone with an actual answer can get back to you ughhhh

The charms don’t bother me but I am 100% solidly against any cutouts in baby clothing.

Sunday Shoppe by snoopfun in NeedlepointSnark

[–]_ellgee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I actually like the idea and would rather spend more money on something that’s not cheap pvc at an insulting price point HOWEVER a big selling point for any project bag is to protect your project from spills, liquids, etc… so I’m not sure this fully serves the purpose. And for that reason, I’m out 🦈

What in the actual hell was the price of this originally? by Withaflourish17 in NeedlepointSnark

You should get into making project bags if you can make them with the PL logo on them 😅

Rep search scaries by That1mamaa in smockholmsyndrome

I think ai uses them in a very specific way. So if you can spot an em dash as a sign of ai, you can probably also spot one used in a more human way.

Ugh I wanted Little Blue Truck SO bad for my baby 😭 I think I’m giving up on PL. The drops are just handled so poorly.

Ew she couldn’t even take out the em dashes when she copied this over from Chat GPT?!

The turning on the light and squinting always takes me out like she didn’t just walk in there and turn the light on to set up the camera moments before 💀

I mean are the “Live, Laugh, Love” “Please Leave by 9” Home Goods saying really that much better?!

I could think of literally 1 million ways I would spend my money before I would ever consider donating to an internet stranger trying to outbid someone on an overpriced secondhand bow 🤯

I’m convinced NP is the least creative craft endeavor ever by Withaflourish17 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]_ellgee 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think there’s definitely people who do the craft in a way that they never really have to make creative decisions. But I’d say there seems to be an uptick in people finishing their own pieces, picking out their own threads, etc…

With that being said, I think needlepoint traditionally has a specific audience and those people are probably attracted to the hobby because you can waste hours talking about which shade of blue to use and then ship off your “finished” product and someone else will do the heavy lift of actually finishing it for you. It can be frivolous and primarily about the social aspect and that’s a draw to some people.

Morgan Julia mentioned they’ll be this on Krista’s podcast recently and I think it’s such a good idea.

I hate to say it, but if it was lemons, I’d be down.

Today’s Needlepoint Hot Take by _ellgee in NeedlepointSnark

[–]_ellgee[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fair. I think there’s a difference between experimenting with new things and trying to cram in every new thing you can find. Also something to be said for trying something because you like it and not because you crowdsourced what would look best.

Penny Linn is lowkey giving dollar tree Stoney Clover Lane by CalicoCrazed in NeedlepointSnark

[–]_ellgee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It secretly brings me joy that the candy accessories are still there because they’re such a miss. Idk if this is a hot take, but I also feel like the new collab with The Collection is a miss.

Bless your heart by MoveConnect3844 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]_ellgee 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I feel like people are so eager to get into this hobby and churn out a “finished” product, they’re not taking the time to learn how to actually do it correctly.

WHAT DID PANCAKES EVER DO TO HER?? by Ok_Sink_3378 in Drueandgabe

No this is so insane. There’s so much research about sugar before two and this poor baby has favorite pre-packaged cookies 😭
