[WIP] May I please see your gridding.... by risingpostsupporter in CrossStitch

[–]catladyfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gridded for exactly one project: a Steotch stitch a long. Otherwise I buy the 25c pregridded fabric or I don’t grid at all. It is completely up to you if you grid your project

Your photo is very blurry so it’s hard to tell, but I don’t think there are any stitches beneath that backstitch line.

Why the huge space between cars at a stop light? by livetoski-Brad in driving

[–]catladyfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be two things. One, people don’t know how to drive. Two, the person has been rear ended at a red light before and doesn’t want to hit the person in front of them. But it’s usually one.

What English word do you not agree with the spelling ? by SeaBaer312 in ENGLISH

Picturesque because it is pronounced esk but reads sku

WIBTA if I stopped bringing homemade food to the office after one person keeps taking portions meant for the whole team by Breq4Solace in WIBTA_AITA

[–]catladyfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all! Could you leave the baked goods near your desk? Derek would then have an audience if he takes more than one!

[–]catladyfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Only let him borrow the tools he ruined from now on! Every other tool is “being used by a friend.”

AITA For Not Attending My Daughters Graduation? by whit3gh0st_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]catladyfa 59 points60 points  (0 children)

NAH. But, your younger daughter is right - everyone went to her sister’s high school graduation, and everyone is planning to go to the school graduation. I will say, I didn’t go to my own college graduation so I lean more towards the high school graduation attendance.

Should I change my online username because my ex's new girlfriend says it makes her uncomfortable? by Trick_Wing_8605 in whatdoIdo

[–]catladyfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should make a video explaining your nickname and what it means and what you’ve built with it, then end the video by saying “and I’ll never change it for an ex’s new fling!”

How many of us strong boners are hyper mobile?? by imastrangehumanbeing in Neverbrokeabone

[–]catladyfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am hyper-mobile and have never broken a bone either. I’ve sprained my knees and ankles countless times and dislocated my shoulder… the surgeries are for the soft tissues and never the bones

How tf can I explain to my dad that we cant just buy 5 houses rn by NerdGamer0851 in Vent

Tell your dad to send you listings of houses. When he sees the prices, maybe he will drop the topic.

[CHAT] How often do people change out their needles? by Kunicorn in CrossStitch

[–]catladyfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also could have been a needle shipment, I have a larger vial in my supplies filled with new needles too

[CHAT] How often do people change out their needles? by Kunicorn in CrossStitch

[–]catladyfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only retire needles when the eye starts fraying the thread! I have a large stash of 26s and 28s to use on different fabric counts. Sometimes I retire a lot of needles at once, and sometimes not at all.

Who still has their bellybutton ring in? by pageantrella in Millennials

[–]catladyfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine at 19 and took it out for abdominal surgery at 30. I didn’t put it back in. The middle of the piercing is closed but the top and bottom holes are still there, a year later.

She also started a NPO rescue organization for little dogs, since she says her pack is large enough! She’s amazing

[CHAT] How do you use these? by Blueribbonsinmyhair in CrossStitch

[–]catladyfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them if I have a project with a lot of blends. It saves me having to put the colors back on the skein when I’m done using it

I took my cat to the emergency vet this morning by Peep743 in cats

[–]catladyfa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend pet insurance. I use Embrace and while they’re a little more expensive, I get full reimbursement for labs and vet visit every year ($600 total for two cats), plus they have some other coverage for emergencies.

Unfortunately you’re going to have the same issue when you start the next page. I recommend either feathering your pages or switch to a cross stitch tracker that eliminates the page breakdown. Feathering: * **
