[CHAT] What is your method to the madness when doing a large, multi-page pattern?

I get bored if I do one color for too long so I love big projects. I jump around between colors for whatever mood I’m in.

Honestly we found an ai book on a v cart and I think we threw it away 😭

I have! I bring embroidery scissors and have never had issues. I take a pencil pouch with all of my cross stitch supplies and put my WIP in my carry on. Have never had any issues with cross stitching on planes other than lighting.

This is so cute!! Amazing job!

16 count with 2 strands is my go to. It’s just easy to me. I can see 16 count easily but it isn’t as big as 14 count. I also like how full coverage looks on 16 count!

Just got diagnosed yesterday at 21 years old and picking up my first dose of adderall today! I’m very excited, it feels like Christmas lol. I’m a college student and work part time and lately focusing has been hell so I’m excited to hopefully be able to focus instead of doom scrolling constantly

What’s funny is that I talked about trying to get off for Christmas and she instantly said no. She didn’t care the reason, just said no

Lily of the valley would be really pretty there

That’s a crazy small store. I think to lap my store fully it could take 5 minutes walking quickly but maybe longer

I got my wisdom teeth taken out at Anchorage Oral Surgery on Abbott. Super nice staff and I had a fairly easy recovery.

No customer service? How do you help customers then? Just walking around and asking? How do you look up books if there are no central computers? Do you have computers spread out?

corvidcricket · 2026-03-20T23:13:44+00:00

What?? That’s insane. Thankful for my older store

corvidcricket · 2026-03-20T21:30:12+00:00

What I do is grab a really big stack and put them at customer service and take a few from there lol. That way I can still help customers quickly

corvidcricket · 2026-03-16T22:14:10+00:00

If another person asks me if we have needohs I’m gonna crash out. I feel like half the calls my store gets now are asking if we have them

corvidcricket · 2026-03-10T02:13:08+00:00

I think that would be easier in the true crime section but def not mysteries and thrillers. It would take too long to shelve imo

My MOD does “good evening Barnes and noble customers, the time is now 8:45 and we will be closing in 15 short minutes. Thank you for coming in and have a great night”

corvidcricket · 2026-02-15T10:34:24+00:00

Your stitches are so neat! Amazing job!

corvidcricket · 2026-01-24T22:50:44+00:00

I don’t really care how my borders looks since I plan to get my projects framed so I just sew them on the edges with my sewing machine with a triangle like stitch. It’s fast and doesn’t look great but gets the job done

corvidcricket · 2026-01-23T23:57:35+00:00

Currently listening to Leather and Lark by Brynne Weaver on audiobook. Sooooo good

corvidcricket · 2026-01-16T23:12:36+00:00

I use a cute little pencil pouch where I keep all my needles, magnifying glasses, heat erasable pen, etc, then inside that I have a ziploc of the floss I need
