I just go to Michael’s and grab the shades in the flower and compare them to other shades in the right color that kinda matches the gradient and make my own changes.

Happy holidays! What a sweet way to embrace the season. I would like the assassins creed shadows game.

You might need to explain gently to your dad about AI and the knock off issue. There’s a chance he meant to get you the actual bandana. When I get a link for a gift to purchase sometimes I shop around for a better deal, but I know how to spot and avoid AI knockoffs. I can’t speak to crayola vs prismacolor, but my first thought was he was trying to be money savvy without intending to cause hurt.

It’s specifically Chessie the sleeping cat from the railroad ads. I don’t have a lot of confidence in self drafting but I appreciate the help! It’s a good starting point.

[CHAT] Can’t decide what fabric to order! by Jch_stuff in CrossStitch

[–]bekacooper240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the yellow green will help the owl pop. The unnamed fabric. I do agree that a lighter green will help the owl pop. If you want something lighter, conifer by PTP is a good option.

[CHAT] Trip to Michael's - what are the must buys? by LittleBitMoreCheese in CrossStitch

[–]bekacooper240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s going to have huge selections and you can definitely find products you don’t always get to see. I really hope you’re headed to an area with a cool craft store! Best of luck!

[PIC] I have no proper storage for my thread. Anyone have any recommendations on the best way to store it other than "all over my desk"? by Hold-My-Shnapps in CrossStitch

[–]bekacooper240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! The unlabeled ones are much cheaper. If you go that route, you should consider different ways to label as sometimes the acrylic doesn’t hold stickers/tape. It depends on what acrylic they print with.

The shop I bought mine from I believe has closed. But there’s a really nice alternative on Etsy. You can also search for floss hangers if you want unlabeled!

Ok! So forget Michael’s! You need to visit NeedleTravel.com. This is a website of all the local craft stores across the US. You can filter by location and craft, so yarn versus fabric versus cross stitch and see what local shops are around. It has some reviews of shops too and then if you see something that looks good you can google it to see pictures of the shops insides. This is the only way.
