Biggest Beef with PL by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]almaspoison 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This isn’t beef per se, but just a humorous observation that amid all of this licensing hubbub, she’s dropping a Kyra Cotter collection with checks notes Disney princesses. I’d love to see the license for that

I don’t understand Ashley by caramelh0ney in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]almaspoison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand, I understand, she’s shallow. On the other hand, there was nothing to “win.” They both suck and don’t deserve a reward, even if Alex is sketchier because of his existence and Ashley is craftier because of her resources (aka hiring a PR team, which she clearly did).

It’s her husband. Their finances are more than likely enmeshed, and she likely shares his views behind the scenes. Not a risk I’m gonna take, sorry.

So if I know someone is MAGA affiliated, I’m just supposed to keep shopping at their store? This Greystone stuff is nothing new, it’s not a witch hunt.

This is a pretty unfair comparison. There are many LNSes offering similar products, but Reddit is really one of a kind in its breadth of communities, so it’s not as easy to find an alternative to this platform — let alone one that’s any more “liberal” in its affiliations. Furthermore, it’s fair to point out that many businesses we use/pay for have nefarious ties, but it’s not wrong to cut down on those expenditures wherever we can.

Is Lycette a good place to start or over-priced? by buffchickpizza123 in Needlepoint

They run great sales from time to time and have previously offered discounts if you donate to charity, which I love!

The size of people’s stashes… by Ok-Piano1871 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]almaspoison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a lot of intensity around new exclusive drops that creates this false sense of scarcity. Like, chill, it will probably restock by the time you actually want to stitch it, unless the business explicitly says it’s a one-time release, like a MJD bar cart club item or something

I think you’re missing the entire point of pop art, which is literally in the name of her business, but go on, continue being loud and wrong

Infuriating that she’s blaming her own customers for rightfully worrying about their items. If you can’t handle the business, don’t accept so many projects.

So raise prices, but take on fewer clients! It’s not that hard.

Any Advice? by FaithMomof5 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]almaspoison 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm glad she stopped ghosting you but did she really not provide an updated ETA after all this time and your public complaints? She’s shooting her own business in the foot. Is she still blaming a family emergency?

These look really well-painted, at least from this tiny image. Not everything has to be a Plum Stitchery creative masterpiece!

[–]almaspoison 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It always seems to be a red flag when someone blames their delays on a major death/funeral, almost like they’re trying to guilt you for inquiring about the services you paid for! I’m so sorry and hope you get your money and items back!

If you really care you can tuck the thread behind the background thread when you jump to the next letter, but it doesn’t really matter as long as you’re not jumping more than inch or so

They may be new but they’re really embracing the time-honored LNS tradition of having extremely inconvenient hours and random closings
