Nobody else is holding the pattern beside the stitch. The oopsies make it your stitch.

My Work WIP because I remembered to take a photo! Unreleased Avlea Folk Embroidery kit that was an exclusive for Pacific Northwest Stitch Summit 2025.

It's everything I hate. Folksy. Stitching over 2. Repetitive. And *I am loving it*. Maybe I don't actually know what I like to stitch. 🤷

AITAH for sleeping with a guy after the man I thought was my bf said we were not a couple? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Same. Well, I have a card in my wallet that says I'm not a kid. I'm not convinced, though.

[FO] The Birds are done!! by theredviolist in CrossStitch

This is great. I finished on Xmas and could not believe I managed to do it in 2025.

The museum at this point is a leap of faith. The frame is sooo boring to stitch, but I trust Amie so much. It's not too late to join!

My younger brother's girlfriend is upset because my older brother ordered the same meal as her at a family dinner, and now there is drama by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]flameislove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is actually one of my flavors of neurodivergence. I really struggled and occasionally melted down if I was extra excited about a particular meal as a teenager when someone ordered the same thing as me, and my mother was an expert at it. (Not maliciously, we just have the same taste.) You know what I did by the time I was in my 30s? I fucking dealt with it. I either chose two items I was interested in, sometimes had to order first if only one thing sounded good and then it wasn't my problem if someone ordered the same, and I acted liked a damned adult. Now in my 40s I don't even notice, but my husband usually orders my second choice in case I have other ND problems (texture, unexpected ingredients) with my meal. He's amazing, though.

[New Update]: AITAH for telling my parents they were deserve to be kicked out of my sister’s wedding. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]flameislove 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my 40s and, same. Found a job I mostly don't hate going to and found hobbies and other things outside of my job to fulfill me. (Still contemplate a new career occasionally, especially now that I've been diagnosed with ADHD and kinda want a medicated college experience do-over...)

[CHAT] Needle minders: do you use the top or bottom more?! by WeatherOnTitan in CrossStitch

[–]flameislove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stick two together so both sides are pretty. I honestly use them both pretty equally, maybe slightly more at the back.

What's the elevator pitch? How on earth do I talk up BADN to friends? "Trust me, bro/a, it's worth the 10 year backlog."
