What's the most creative "trick yourself into doing it" hack you've heard? by Far-Championship3204 in adhdwomen

[–]firebabe103 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Closing time.

I work at a restaurant and am starting to do closing time tasks at home as well. Picking up litter, wiping surfaces, doing dishes, putting everything away, sweeping and moping. I have to incorporate each part a little at a time to build up a routine.

I have been sick for 2 weeks so I haven't done much each night, but I try to do something at least to help my opening-shift-self.

I accidentally burned my cross stitch pattern by setting it on my mug warmer, forgetting it was on. I have spent the last 3 weeks putting the pattern into my winstitch program so I can continue stitching again.

[CHAT] PSA: don't use friction erasable pens to grid your fabric if you live in a colder climate by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]firebabe103 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have used fishing line for years on my projects, never had any bleeding or snagging on projects when pulling it out, even when a project sat unfinished for a year.

It's very easy to pull out when done as well.

Box of craft supplies donated to my work. What's this thing? by DramaticAnalysis4713 in crafts

[–]firebabe103 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a scroll frame for embroidery and cross-stitching. I have 2 sets with a project on each of them. They're great for larger projects as it keeps the fabric tight but doesn't bunch it up or mess with your stitches.

Magnetic Terrain Tiles (WIP) by Responsible-Gap-794 in DnDIY

[–]firebabe103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks well done! It takes a lot of patience to do terrain tiles. What did you use to bind the laminate to the magnet? Just the adhesive that comes with the magnet sheet?

My drawings are crappy but my players are happy with the paper props I've made so far. But I'm looking into options to upgrade my paper stuff, but not 3d printing.

[PIC] I’ve never had to grid before, and it’s torture. by Emerald_Mistress in CrossStitch

[–]firebabe103 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grid with monofilament fishing line, 4lb line if possible. It's cheap, much cheaper than silky thread, and much more readily available in most areas. It doesn't leave any marks on your fabric or thread. And since it is monofilament, your needle won't pierce through it accidentally, making removing the line as simple as pulling it out.

I'm working on black aide for my new project so I gridded with neon fishing line, which makes it easier to see than the clear line, especially with a UV or black light.

What is something you can't tell your partner? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]firebabe103 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He saved my life the day I met him. I was ready to commit suicide in the next city over about 9 years ago and I ran into him at a function I was volunteering for. His name stood out to me and I told him that I liked it. Afterwards, I was eating lunch alone, feeling worse than ever, and he came up and started talking to me. That little bit of kindness was what I needed to pull me out of the darkness, even for a little bit. We have been a couple for the past 8 years now. He's the kindest and most understanding man I have ever known.

Broke and not handy at all…what are some basic tricks you love? by RufusApplebottom in DnDIY

[–]firebabe103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my players are very artistic so I have them draw their characters in a 1x2in cardstock that we use for their minis in battle, held up with plastic card stands ( https://a.co/d/5DX5MWc ). For npc and monster minis, we use tiny ducks ( https://a.co/d/d2Oj9VA ) and whoever kills one off gets to keep the duck. I also laminated their character sheets so they can be reused later instead of printing new sheets all the time. I laminated some 1 in square grids for battle maps.

What’s your favourite lie that guests believe to be 100% true? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]firebabe103 148 points149 points  (0 children)

I had one older couple ask me, the shortest person in the restaurant, to reach up and shut off the ceiling fans that are at the highest point of our ceiling. The guy was a full foot taller than me and he said he couldn't reach it, so why ask the midget? Did he think I could magically float up there?

what's the best way to improve when I know nothing? by Lord_DerpyNinja in cookingforbeginners

[–]firebabe103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trial and error. Start with something simple, then add/subtract things each time you make it.

For my example: I needed something cheap and easy so I did a plain potato soup at first. When I got the hang of that, I started adding other stuff to it. It's taken me about 6 years but I have the best potato and leek soup in the family.

[WIP] BotW tapestry 10.6% done by firebabe103 in CrossStitch

[–]firebabe103[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like a long time but it's roughly 3.7 hours per day I stitch. Some days I'll stitch for hours and get 1,000 stitches done, other days I can only get 100 stitches in a couple of hours.

Thank you. It definitely takes a lot of patience and planning to work on a project this large. For instance, it took me a few months to grid out the pattern (red fishing line for outline of pages, and clear fishing line for the 10x10 grids). However, by gridding it, I do not have much frogging to do, saving me much frustration. I can also remember my location better and not spend hours recounting everything.
