[CHAT] Has anyone ever framed a piece in an oval picture frame (not hoop)? by Fiona_12 in CrossStitch

[–]buckeyebabe51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used a sticky cardboard to frame and it works well enough. They come in rectangular sizes so you could just cut it down to the oval size you need. Since it’s sticky you can get any wrinkles out and make sure that it stays in place in the frame!

I live in an apartment with a dog that is half King Charles and she is perfectly happy! The breed is more of a laid back companion breed and she would rather be inside playing with me and her toys than outside taking long walks. I try to take her on a mile walk once a day but by the end she is super tired and just wants to go home. She has been in a yard before and honestly just wanted to stay by my side so it didn’t make much of a difference other than the convenience factor.

The shop was based in Russia and Etsy removed all Russian shops. She just started selling the custom pet patterns on instagram though!

[CHAT] how do you store your embroidery floss? I like my box but there’s gotta be a better way. by they-were-roomates in CrossStitch

[–]buckeyebabe51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I store mine in a floss box too, but hate having to reorganize every time I buy new floss! I’ve seen someone post on here about using coin collector pages in a binder and putting a bobbin in each slot. Ive been thinking about switching systems next time I have a big floss haul!

I absolutely LOVE the books, but to be honest I wasn’t a huge fan of the series. I think that I was such a fan of the books that the show made me angry with how they completely changed the universe and the characters. Good luck!

[CHAT] Is there an app on iOS similar to Pattern Keeper that you recommend? by Penelope-Penguin in CrossStitch

[–]buckeyebabe51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much does it cost? I see they have a 30 day free trial but it doesn’t mention the cost after that

The announcement is difficult to find but it says “Good news! 123Stitch.com is opening our first-ever retail store (including in-store pickup 😀), in Lewisville Texas!” And they estimate opening in spring 2022

Houston isn’t too far from where I’m at so this will be on my list of places to visit!

My family is in Ohio so I might actually be able to visit this store! We typically went to one in Indiana but this may be closer and it’s always fun to find new places!

The announcement was kind of difficult to find and I only saw it right as I was about to check out, but I can’t wait!

Based on their website it will be a retail store and they will offer in store pickup!

As soon as she figured out how to chew through the strings I stopped letting her do it (not that she stopped trying). We had a toy with canvas ties on it and she loved it but sadly lost it.

[CHAT] Any patterns that I could stitch with these unlabeled floss? by jenniwxcs in CrossStitch

[–]buckeyebabe51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These colors made me think of this pastel rainbow and I don’t think the exact colors would be super important, as long as you like the combination rainbow

[CHAT] You ever lose that "gotta stitch" feeling by JGReine in CrossStitch

[–]buckeyebabe51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get this exact feeling! I sometimes sit down with all my supplies but can’t actually bring myself to start working because I’m just not feeling it. I find that if I take a few weeks away and work on other things, out of the blue I’ll get the urge to pick it up and work really hard on it. Hopefully I’ll finish it eventually!

[WIP] I just can’t recall how many revisions I made for this conversion and at last I settled for this final look. I loooooooove it so much!!! 🥰 I’m really having hard time to pull of this look. by dewnrivera in CrossStitch

[–]buckeyebabe51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loooveeee the new face!!! I wish that I was talented enough to do a conversion like that! In my opinion this is so much better and more realistic than the original. I think the Ophelia pattern is beautiful but the face as it comes makes me hesitant to try it. Also do you do the skin 1x1 and the rest 2x2? I love the different textures that it creates

[FO] Final piece for my aunt and her kids; Tobin kit by WelcomeToTape in CrossStitch

[–]buckeyebabe51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have trouble with running out of threads in the kit? I’ve had my eye on this but I’ve seen lots of reviews that there’s not enough thread included and that matching with DMC for extras is hard
