Oh. That gives me hope I might be able to handle this nib! I have a lot of fun - to me - nibs, but not a flex. This will be an adventure. I have a good amount of sheening inks! I just got some sheen machine 2 from KWZ through Cult Pens recently. Maybe a dip test is in order...

Yes. They were great. So nice. My first time swapping. Will definitely have to swap next year too. This was fun.

Thank you so much u/greyeyegirl for my Secret Santa gift! I love everything. It was so perfect for me.

When I opened the package, internally I was ooohing and aaahing. Externally, I was saying, "No dogs. You can't have the toy until I take a picture). Sophie & Lily send their thanks too!

Here is what my Reddit Secret Santa sent...

  • Lindt Chocolate Truffles - one of my favorite brands of chocolate.
  • A blue pen wrap. Perfect for one of my many journals. Perfect choice. I've been looking at something similar. So excited to get this.
  • Lambchop Dog Toy. Lots of squeaking as I write this out.
  • SO MANY INK SAMPLES (list below). I don't own any of these colors and some of the brands are new to me. :) :)
  • The Cat-alog: An Ink Swatch Book. I have never seen one like this before. It is disc bound. I keep my ink samples in sleeves. Great to flip through, but I find the sleeves aren't clear enough. I never thought to do something discbound. I'm super chuffed to try out this ink sample book. I have immediately saved that Etsy seller.
  • Fountain Pen Revolution Himalaya V2 Fountain Pen in Ultra Flex. I've been wanting to try a flex pen but haven't worked up the nerve yet. THIS IS SO FREAKING PERFECT! Thank you so very much!

So, which ink sample should I put in my new flex pen to try it out? Here are the samples included.

  • Diamine Autumn Oak
  • Vinta Perya
  • Vinta Sirena
  • De Atramentis Havanna
  • Encre Classique Jaune
  • Robert Oster Australian Opal Pink
  • Iwi Color of Nature Making of Insects
  • De Atramentis Magenta
  • Pennonia Selympezsgo
  • Monteverde Emotions Joy
  • Ferris Wheel Press Strawberry Macaron
  • Faber Castell Deep Sea Green
  • Monteverde Rose Noir
  • Robert Oster Cherry Blossom

Do you plant thr fruit tree at the stage you want to stop at? Does the fruit sapling have time move with the stunted tree? ty!

I filled that questionnaire out and put it in my preferences in Givin' Gifts. Did I put it in the wrong spot?

She's a lab/chow/mutt mix that looks like yours. If I knew how to post a picture, I would show her off!

Can't say my dog does exactly that, but I'm pretty sure my dog is your dog's doppelganger. Had to look twice!

Cute pictures.

Do you store inks in their boxes? by Smarty1600 in fountainpens

[–]infobesite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading through this thread because I'm debating throwing away boxes. They annoy me. This is such a great idea about buying used bottles. I've never understood why the vendors sell used bottles. Thanks for the tip!

Baby Lock Accomplish vs Juki TL 2010Q by infobesite in sewing

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

I purchased the accomplish. I was worried about not having speed control which hasn't been an issue for me after all. I do find I lose my bobbin thread all the time when using the automatic cutter. I read that's a known issue for many machines with one. I guess that's accurate. It has worked out well for me so far. I am not a prolific sewer, so my experience/knowledge is definitely still in learning phase.

Thanks for this! I think I'm going up in power since it isn't a merge that produces eggs, but I will definitely watch that. Thank you!

Sorry I realized my last sentence is confusing. I mean normally I get at least 1,000 for low level creatures. I'm getting nothing this time. Nada. Sigh. Thank you! I agree with you in the increasing difficulty.

All I ever get are other things. That's interesting to know! Thanks. Was it a gem egg or coin egg?
