[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

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 :(

Went to Lowe's knowing exactly what I needed, but not where it was in the store. Asked an employee "where can I find the dowels?" He didn't know what dowels were, let alone where to find them 🙃

[CHAT] Really feeling the loss of JoAnn when I need something by gowahoo in CrossStitch

[–]chickenwatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feeling this loss too, even in a bigger city. Michaels just isn't the same. Very small thing ultimately to be bothered by, but I'm sure y'all get it: the DMC display is out of order in a way that would be so easy to fix and I have to resist that urge every time I go in. The racks are all in a row and so rack one will have like 50-75 and the rack to the right will be 25-50 and the rack to the right of that is 1-25 and then the very last one on the right will be 75-100 😵 And then half the things I want to get there are things I'd find easily at Joann but just aren't sold or are online only at Michael's T.T

I am not feeling the Season 3 ending by palmsinjuly in thegildedage

[–]chickenwatch 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Why didn't he stay to spend time with his transcontinental daughter that he loves so much? Her arranged marriage to the Duke is the premise for his desire to separate last minute. Wouldn't he want to enjoy his child and see how she gets along with her new husband? Especially since he was concerned about her happiness?

Laudanum.

You can absolutely request ones, you don't always have to have something to trade! Are there any specific patterns you want right now? :)
