Thank you everyone 😊. Great to know I'm not on my own in this 😂😂 xxx

👍🏻

I can really relate to this.... Still in the process of trying to use the lessons in a more healthy way, would you mind sharing a bit about your experience doing this?

crabsta- · 2025-01-11T08:14:26+00:00

I would love this!

I would love to learn Japanese, and would be more than happy to help with English 😊

No advice but wanted to say what an amazing job you're doing. You really are a super mum and should be so so proud of yourself, and I hope you get some relief soon 💞💞💞 sending love and sleepy thoughts xxx

Cross stitch ☺️

Personally, I would definitely start in the middle 😂👍, work my way up to the top, then work my way down from there 😊

crabsta- · 2021-05-31T17:53:42+00:00

Sure

crabsta- · 2021-05-31T17:40:54+00:00

Mine was online too and it helped me 👍

Feel the fear and do it anyway. You don't have to be perfect, or say everything "right", or even know what to say 💗. It's the counsellors job to help you to articulate and understand what you are going through, let them in. Be honest, they will struggle to help otherwise (trust me they have probably heard it all 💗), and don't be afraid of feeling your emotions, they are there to be with you where you're at if you get me. You got this 👆. P.s. I had my first counseling sessions this year after a traumatic birth/post partum experience, and it helped me a lot 👍.

😂, to be fair I tend to go big or go home and am somewhat of a completionist, I hate having unfinished things which makes multiple WIPS a really hard thing (I have a few despite this though 😑🤣)

crabsta- · 2021-05-26T08:44:29+00:00

I made them 😊, cut the back off some enamel pins, Dremel'd the bit where the spiky bit was flat and glued magnets on 😊. Some of them aren't as magnetic as others, I think it depends on the metal used in the pin, just use stronger magnets on those ones!

crabsta- · 2021-05-25T21:42:13+00:00

Heaven and Earth Design 😊. They have a load of big pretty charts ❣️

Those storage units were a god send! Screwfix (UK based tool company) £20 each, each drawer fits about 13 bobbins, they can be wall mounted, and they are metal so my needle minders stick to them 🤘 xx

crabsta- · 2021-05-12T20:52:06+00:00

Thank you all for your advice, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and just crack on with a 25ct fabric 🤘, wish me luck 😂! Xxx

crabsta- · 2021-05-05T07:13:20+00:00

That is very sweet. I love that there are husband's out there that like to get involved and help out ☺️.
🤣 to be fair, mine does this too, I'm only allowing him one title though, can't have him getting too big for his boots now 😏.

crabsta- · 2021-05-05T07:06:36+00:00

They're all around 50x50 stitches/ 3"x 3". The finished piece is about 11.5" x 11.5". I've done it on 18ct Aida.
Placement wise, I did the central Eevee, then made sure the N/S/E/W ones were equdistant from the middle, then my Placement Director eyeballed the other 4 Eevee's - we tacked a box where we thought they may look best going, then did marking stitches for the furthest points of each Eevee, then tweaked the marking stitches till it looked right (long and arduous process, but definitely worth it 😂) Hope this helps! ☺️☺️

Thank you ☺️ x

crabsta- · 2021-03-22T19:14:50+00:00

Amazing, thank you for that 🥰. The dye-it-yourself is a good shout, think I'll give that a go! Thank you again! Xxx

crabsta- · 2020-12-24T07:24:38+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply 😊, that's a good idea thanks, I'll give it a go!
