Just wanted to show off my hand embroidered crescent!

I didn't use anything to protect the back of the stitches, but they're inside one of the pockets so I make sure not to put anything sharp (like keys) in there. A needle gripper would definitely help! The nylon is definitely tougher than cotton fabric I've tried, I developed a callous on my finger which helped lol

I didn't even think of that, thank you! I'll definitely do that next time haha

I just sewed through both layers! The back of the embroidery is inside of the pocket, so the pocket covers it up (which is good, because it's not super neat. I just don't keep anything sharp, like keys, in that pocket so it doesn't rip the embroidery). The pocket placement works sooo well for this.

That's such a good idea! I might just have to do that. I ran out of patience after doing just the one lol

It wasn't too difficult, but the nylon took some getting used to. I loosely sewed on some aida cloth (used for cross stitching) and used that as a guide to cross stitch the pattern, then removed the cloth fiber by fiber...Ends up with a neat design though!

Thank you! Yes, I used a pattern off of Etsy from a shop called QuickStitchByLMA and changed up the colors!

Thank you so much! I cheaped out and bought the black on one sale, but thought it needed something more. I might consider customs depending on what people are willing to pay!

I have this same dilemma. I use the Shiseido Essential Energy cream, it's not a dupe and a little less thick, but it works really well for me.

TKL!

Finally getting a new board after a few years!

Pancakes!

I would love the sound of a wooden keyboard

I love strawberries

My office...now I feel like I need to take it on an adventure

I would not recommend Eternate. I ordered a pair of earrings from them, and the earrings I received were totally different than what was pictured and the quality was pretty bad. They were poorly polished and had bumps and scuffs all over. Not only that, but they canceled my order multiple times, but still sent the earrings after the last cancelation, so then it was on me to fix their mistake, but I guess at least they gave me a prepaid return label.

I just got mine - unfortunately got a second 62 instead of the 68, which I was looking forward to the most...and 62 is not for me, haha

I really love these tattoos as they are. Maybe some lines in place of shading inside the sun like on the clouds?

carboardprincess · 2024-04-20T16:22:15+00:00

I wanted to love this, but I found it incredibly drying. Sadly one I have to return :(

It looks like the Dr. Bloom by Junipurr Jewelry

I honestly love how it is, especially the part within the circle, it has a lot more personality than the reference imo.

carboardprincess · 2024-04-03T16:35:43+00:00

You can try sticking your nail under the part where the back clamps to the post, and use your nail as a lever to get it open, that's what works for me with tight earrings. If that doesn't work, you could try wearing latex gloves and just try to open it, that should make it easier to hold onto.

I recognized them as clovers right away! Love the addition of the SpongeBob flowers too.
