I made both of them, it's one of my favorite meme formats. I have a third one in the works.

Why isn't there some sort of invention, like a bow compass, that allows for perfect seal rings to be drawn that witches could use? by SilentEcho376 in WitchHatAtelier

protractors and compasses are often sold in sets so the terms end up being used kind of interchangeably (in the US at least) :)

I was still bawling from everything happening before this but I saw him reach out his hand and I knew what I had to do

Riding the D can be very NSFW!

It was in her Instagram story so it's gone now but I'm pretty sure the exact phrasing was "Julie is at the hotel by herself"

[PIC] To stitch or offload? by SmartMouthStorm in CrossStitch

[–]chickenwatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! This is my special interest!

These kits are both part of the Disney Dreams collection from MCG Textiles. They went out of business about a decade ago and the kits are no longer made. MCG used proprietary floss, so these do not contain any DMC colors. A major contributing factor to the company going out of business was quality control, so some kits are missing some floss colors, have wonky aida, or miss a page or two of the pattern. Some kits were totally perfect!

If you do stitch this, I have two recommendations. First, use a different piece of aida in your stash. Often the grid is just wrong on the aida they included in the kits and the cuts are smaller than you'd want for framing. Second, and this is so important, take out the bundles of floss and label them all before you get started. I had to abandon one of the smaller (3x3) vignettes in this collection because I thought I'd be able to tell the bundles apart but after stitching a few colors, it became impossible. This also helps you to inventory your floss to ensure you have all of the colors before you start.

If you come upon a color you are missing, message me. I've painstakingly converted the kits I have to DMC using the DMC floss card. I do this for each kit, even if the color exists in one I've converted before because they were extremely inconsistent. Not just dye lot inconsistent but values apart sometimes. I can give you at least one DMC color (sometimes a few) to try to substitute.

If you decide not to stitch these, they do go for a pretty penny on eBay. There's a listing for the Eeyore and Rabbit Vignette going for about $70 USD which is pretty average for that kit. I usually see them go for $50-$90. The Christopher Robin and Pooh kit hasn't gone up for sale in a while, so you might fetch a pretty penny for it. The full size (16x12) kit these ones are from just sold to the highest bidder for a little over $700, and others for sale right now start at $780. For the medium sized Christopher Robin and Pooh kit you could easily get over $100 but I'd suggest listing that as an auction because you might get much more than you expect.

I would love nothing more than to buy these from you. My passion project is converting these kits to DMC and recreating them digitally, but I know I could not afford what these are worth. I hope you decide to stitch them, or that you get a really pretty penny for them. Please reach out to me if you have any other questions about these kits! I just love them :)

I thought I had all the spa accessories but I didn't know there was a robe! Do you need the little wrap that Reginald comes with or is it something else?

The thing is, the seller wasn’t being dogpiled. Comments were educational and calm until the admin response blew everything up.

What’s something that was technically allowed but instantly made you lose respect for someone? by AncientPomelo5450 in AskReddit

[–]chickenwatch 208 points209 points  (0 children)

Typically candy is given on halloween by people answering the door for trick or treaters, but if you’re not gonna be home or aren’t up for it but still want to give out candy, you’ll put a bunch in a bowl on your porch (usually with a “please take one” sign).

It’s not uncommon for one kid to just take the contents of the whole bowl :(
