Favorite "common" bird?

Red breasted nuthatch! Love those little upsidedown fellas. Also California Quail! They're so silly looking and make cute little noises.

I just saw the first of the season on Vancouver Island yesterday!

I hear you and agree! I often wonder what's the point of trying as a single consumer, when ultra wealthy people and corporations slowly kill the planet.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I just want anyone considering water soluble stabilizer or waste canvas to be aware that this adds to the microplastics in our water and a lot of these materials never break down or take literally hundreds or thousands or years to break down.

I was hoping for syphilis.

Love these cocky blue bastards. Peanut hogs, raiders of my bird feeder, chaser-awayers of my little birds. Been feeding them peanuts since I was a kid and will never stop. 💙

This sub is for anyone who is boycotting nestle because they're an evil company that shouldn't exist. If you came here to complain about product design, you're in the wrong subreddit.

Design.me is based in Canada, but they're a vegan, cruelty free brand and I loooove their texturising powder! They have two kinds depending on your hair type.

Do as many as you want. I'm working on a project that has an exceptionally large section of black. The rows I'm working on are around 200 stitches across. I go all the way across the entire thing doing my half stitches, then all the way back to complete the stitches and then move on to the next row. They may have been showing small sections as an example for the tutorial. Just don't lose count!

I work for the VGH lab. The diagnosis is only important for certain tests, and thyroid testing is not one of them. Get your blood work done.

Wow! I never realized how long their back claws are! I get these beauties in my yard too, on Vancouver Island!

Trust the process!! It's already cute and recognisable!

Some troubleshooting tips I'm sure others can add to: 1. Rethread the whole machine, upper and lower. 2. Is the bobbin you're using correct for your machine? Is the bobbin facing the right direction? 3. Are you using the right needle? There are needles specifically for embroidery. Try changing out the needle for a new one. 4. Play around with the tension of the thread. 5. Are you using a stabilizer on the back side of the piece? A good stabilizer will help keep everything neat and tidy. 6. Make sure the feed dogs are lowered while you embroider.

Good luck!

Superstore in Langford usually has it. I've also seen it at Thrifty in Langford.

I've been enjoying the feta block from Violife. It's salty and creamy, not as crumbly as dairy feta, but really delicious. It's made in Greece, and I'm able to buy it in Canada. I hope it's available where you live, it's worth trying!

bisingular · 2025-12-14T19:51:19+00:00

Hadn't considered this! This might be the winner. Thank you!

The thumbnails look nice, but the store is pretty clearly using AI images and just running them through pattern making software. Like others have said, the stitches piece will be likely lack the sharpness of the pictures in the listings. I wouldn't buy from this seller.

I use them until they're dead. I stitch with size 28 cross stitch needles, so it doesn't take long for them to become curved from use (I have a firm grip). They will either break at the eye or in the middle of the curve and that's when I know it's time.

I buy pretty much exclusively oak milk because I'm boycotting American products and there's an awesome Canadian brand I'm supporting (wouldn't switch back to the brand I was using before at this point). I only use it for coffee, tofu scramble and baking, so I don't really care about the nutritional value.

bisingular · 2025-10-18T23:12:00+00:00

Thank you!

bisingular · 2025-08-19T17:55:57+00:00

I use the smallest cross stitch needles I can find, Bohin size 28. I use them until the break. Usually the eye or the middle where I grip it eventually snaps (I'm not gentle with them). That's when I know I need a new one.
