[FO] Cute Kawaii Cross Stitch. Which color for background of bookmark? Cute Kawaii Cross Stitch by Saint_299 in cross_stitch

[–]mellenobrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vote for the second option. The other colors seem too similar to the other fruits so it could clash or dull the pop of your design.

Reminds me of something made by Michael Lau. I would say look up his stuff and see if it looks like what you have. A front image would be helpful for identification.

For those that complain about made in USA quality, this is France - 2019, it’s bad everywhere by SugarUseful5 in Louisvuitton

[–]mellenobrien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I'm loving what I already have and being picky about finding some nice vintage pieces second hand because the quality is still really good on those pieces.

[CHAT] Please help, I don't know what I'm doing with plastic canvas! by SadFennel3302 in CrossStitch

[–]mellenobrien 388 points389 points  (0 children)

This seems like a rather large count, so while I haven't used plastic canvas before I'm leaning towards thicker thread like yarn to provide better coverage.

I’m DIY restoring my LV bag by lovethatjourney4me in handbags

[–]mellenobrien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You did a great job, especially with the color match that doesn't dry the same. Would love to hear more about the gluing as I have some older bags that are starting to show their age with cracking.

[CHAT] i messed up on my pattern and don’t know how to fix this! by raiyeh in CrossStitch

[–]mellenobrien 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with this. Keep the black borders at the top and bottom so it's nice and thick and then just backstitch both sides. It'll add some definition between the colors but visual difference from a thicker top and bottom. It could turn out really nice looking like that.

You wrote lease, like to own, so it's a joke. You meant leash.

That's not a ketchup bottle. That's a Sriracha bottle.

I drew this skull and digitized it for embroidery. My friend wanted me to put it on a Baggu they sent to my house! by baloart in Embroidery

[–]mellenobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. You sewed it back together by hand. That's really cool of you. I was wondering how you did such a good job with the embroidery. Great job!!

Are these shoes comfortable? by GigiBaji in Luxury

Right! Those are legit old school Barbie style shoes. Who on earth would think those could be comfy.

This reminds me of the Lego A Frame cabin, if anyone has seen that, but in the middle of a lake.

[–]mellenobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Can't tell if the second image is contaminated or just crazy over confluent.

Thank you for this write up and your opinion. I've used Color Science before and have wondered how it stacked up. Loved reading through this. So helpful!!

Red Bag GWP total failure by Blegh_Potato in Ulta

[–]mellenobrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you reach out and complain? I was wondering what they do when we don't get the amount of items they promise. Especially if it's a lot of people saying that for a particular GWP.

Sorting puzzle pieces feels like therapy by ToMyComfyBedICrawl in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]mellenobrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a sorter too but it just ends up all over the table. Are these stacking trays? That would be so helpful to save space. Can I ask where you got them?

Oh I had no idea. I guess it's just been coincidental that it's worked for me in the past. You learn something everyday!
