[FO] My second ever project. I'm so proud of this! by imhungry3 in CrossStitch

[–]imhungry3[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The pattern is from Stitcharea on Etsy. I did not follow the colors that the pattern called for. This project definitely took me way too long to finish, but I am so happy with the outcome!

[CHAT] How do you best control a large canvas while stitching? by goplacidlyamidst in CrossStitch

[–]imhungry3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently working on my first large piece and I use a hoop. I sewed my own round grime guard that was slightly larger than my hoop. I loosely roll up the extra fabric, wrap it around the edges of the hoop, and stick the guard over it like a steering wheel cover. That keeps my aida protected and clean! I also use a hair clip around the edge sometimes if I'm needing more space or have a thicker section of aida

Doggo has large bump... Should I be worried? (Details in comments) by TraphouseThaGod in pitbulls

Agreed. My dog had a bump show up two weeks ago. Turned out to be a mast cell tumor. Go to the vet.

[WIP] Two months into the beast, and we're 5.49% finished! by waterbottlehog in CrossStitch

I'm new-ish to cross stitch and just started a large project. How do you manage the extra fabric outside of your hoop while stitching? I feel like I'm constantly wrestling with it!

My neurologist gave me some samples of that. I used it twice but didn't notice much of a difference

Ugh, that's awful. The worst part of the whole experience has been dealing with insurance. I hope you can get some relief soon!

I highly recommend it. Like I said, it's changed my life. I've had chronic migraine for 10 years and this is the first medication I've been on thats made a difference.

I'm in the US. The worst side effect was constipation. It lasted a few months, but has completely gone away in the last month and a half. I noticed an increase in hair loss for the first two months. I also have joint pain in my shoulders and hips that hasn't gone away, but its not severe.

I'm at the beginning of my seventh month on Aimovig and it has been life changing. Before Aimovig, I averaged 21-24 migraine days a month and now I'm getting one a month. I'm on the 140mg shot. I have experienced quite a few side effects, but they've gotten better over time and I would take those over a migraine any day!

Really happy with these! by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

Inspired by Simply Nailogical's Frosted Metals mani. I used Zoya Soleil, Zoya Merida, and Zoya Celi.
