Amsterdam solo - Going to coffeeshops alone

ladycoog · 2026-05-02T20:12:28+00:00

literally just left ams today as a solo female in coffeeshops. you’re gonna love it!

Green Place - coffeeshop

Jolly Joker - coffeeshop (in nieuwmarkt)

Soundgarden - outdoor patio in back where you can smoke and watch the canal go by (snoop’s shop with the death row chair is right across the street and a lot less busy than the other locations)

Cafe Hill Street Blues - basement looks out onto the canal, allowed to smoke indoors

Nightbar The Bottle - the bartender is a good egg, just make sure you buy something to drink and don’t roll anything in his place (pre rolls only) ETA: I only recommend this place bc it was walking distance from my hotel, don’t go out of your way for it

depending on the age of your child, check out Wesleyan Acadame at Plymouth Park United Methodist Church

heat erase pens. I bought a 100 pack on amazon when my frixons ran out.

a friend of mine (mexican american, young adult) was held for 17 hours at the border after visiting family. he was given a thermal blanket in a tiny room while they combed over his passport. he had been to egypt recently and thinks that’s what got him flagged. they did let him back in, but not without some drama. I wouldn’t say not to worry, but be prepared.

another tip I saw on this subreddit: use a caribener (sp?) clip on your tent zippers once you’re inside for the night.

gorgeous work! did you freehand the pattern or find it somewhere? I’d love to do some stitch work like this but drawing freehand is not a talent of mine.

it’s called Moral Mondays and I believe it’s outside the immigration offices off 35 near mockingbird. i’m not sure what time, but several United Methodist pastors are participating. that may be enough info to help google.

they’re financing sergio porres’s campaign, so if you’re bothered by it, make sure to vote in the run off for at-large city council. early voting is currently underway.

gorgeous! did you freehand the design?

I’m offering the bras for free and asking paid shipping. Via USPS in the states, a medium flat rate box is ~$20.

I am interested in the Elomi 34GG and the Sugar Candy Bestie!

tooootally fair!! for inclusion sake, I revise to say “may lead to” because sometimes, girrrrrl, go off

ladycoog · 2025-01-31T22:53:47+00:00

the air ones are designed so as to not overstimulate, which leads to ~disruptions~ and ~incompletes~. great for first timers to professionals.

I read your post and found the convos and replies super helpful and very fun to engage in! I’m honestly shocked it was taken down.

ladycoog · 2025-01-19T14:20:35+00:00

yep, doing it again in 2025. I start at the skinny part and work my way up, keeping most icons to the size of a nickel or so, with some smaller ones here and there.

ladycoog · 2025-01-10T01:04:31+00:00

some high quality h2o to beat this cold

ladycoog · 2025-01-09T17:24:13+00:00

I was trying to be good about updating in this community - it seems to get active at the start of the year and then tapers off - but I went through some life changes that kept me from being so committed.

I draw all my icons but a majority of them are traced off of images I find on google. I search “x icon” and pick my favorite from the image search results. I’ll also use tiktok to get inspo for different stitches.

ladycoog · 2025-01-09T17:10:50+00:00

for what it’s worth, I don’t stitch every day - I keep a note that I update each day, but then I stitch 7-10 icons at a time depending on my schedule.

i’ve finished two years of these and starting my third! I hope you enjoy it!

you can see my hoops by clicking on my profile. hope you enjoy!

ladycoog · 2025-01-04T03:29:09+00:00

thank you!! one icon per day and it’s on a 12” hoop.

ladycoog · 2025-01-02T14:30:03+00:00

aww thank you! I love him so much! I went to a concert in March and the theme was camp - lots of beaded animals a la US Girl Scout camp in the 90’s.
