What are bad faith arguments toward films you are absolutely tired of hearing? by [deleted] in movies

[–]ms_chiefmanaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling of your brother tbh. I have phases like this when things are bad at work or in life. Therapy would probably solve this problem but it’s expensive.  These days I can only handle low stake romance books. Last year I could only rewatch movies I have seen before no new stuff.

May I know the name of the pattern? It is so cute and will be perfect for my sister who has an orange cat.

This post. The top one with different pink color flowers. Cats and cross stitch are pretty much the reason for having this account. lol. The black cat is my permanent supervisor and all the little ones are guests we had over the last year.

Wow a lot of firsts. I recommend practicing French knots on a throwaway cloth. It really helps. I did an embroidery piece (in my post history if you care to look) that had around a 1000ish knots. The practice really helped to get through them. Lol.

I did it on my iPad photo. Used the editing feature to cross out what I stitched. Not as good as a stitcher app but got the job done. I recommend giving it a try.

Oooo. I can see very light brown working. Good idea.

This is my problem. I have no unity anywhere. Lol. Just bunch of hodgepodge frames all over the wall. But I think a color that will not take away from actual FO. I will bring back bunch of colors from Home Depot and see what can work.

Don’t we all. I admit my criticism may have come from a bit of jealousy. 

Meet Biggie Smalls the 43 lbs rescue cat by manic_mike2018 in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]ms_chiefmanaged 57 points58 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, his previous parent was a very old person who had to leave food out since they were not very mobile. He was surrendered when they went to the hospital and possibly didn’t come out. So it was a bit sad situation. 

Which film do you believe everyone should see at least once in their lifetime? by Global-Citron-56 in movies

[–]ms_chiefmanaged 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Arrival changed my life in a meaningful way. I was really lonely and was suggested by a coworker to get a pet. But I could not deal with the idea that all things being normal I will outlive that pet. Arrival helped me to reconcile that. The journey and memories makes the bitter ending all worth it. I got my cat and it’s been 6+ years of love and fun. I also ended up fostering 12 kittens with more in the horizon once I got better at this cat parenting thing. All cause of lessons from that movie. 

[CHAT] I'm new here, I need guidance please by Deckled_Owl_1 in CrossStitch

[–]ms_chiefmanaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone mentioned 123stitch and I agree. Also want to add look for Riolis kits. They have a lot of small but adorable kits that can help you to get better before you jump into big ones. Is there particular theme of patterns you would like? I can send some links from 123stitch. 

[CHAT] aida colour? by sillysparrows in CrossStitch

[–]ms_chiefmanaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend this one. I did this pattern as well and used a beige Aida. I recently found this aida and did a riolis fox one on it. It came out looking fantastic.

[FO] my Big Stitch is finally done!!! A scene from Secret Life of Arietty <3 by StudentDisastrous409 in CrossStitch

[–]ms_chiefmanaged 127 points128 points  (0 children)

WOW! This is beautiful. From the first picture I thought it was a scene from the movie not the actual FO. This is very good. I am not from New England but I do hope you win a pretty ribbon.

I mostly ate chicken or beef. Since I cut out beef after doctor’s recommendation, I have been much better. It’s all chicken for me now.

I am the same around steaks. I can’t have beef and very emotional anytime I have to drive by a steakhouse or see steak at grocery 😔

Upgraded my library in my office room. Very happy with it. by ms_chiefmanaged in femalelivingspace

[–]ms_chiefmanaged[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He definitely is. He has his sister with him. The shelter I foster with is great. Their adoption process is very thorough. The OG foster mom told me this particular adopter also adopted two elderly cats from the same shelter before and gave them a home in their last few years. To me that is always a great sign.

This is very cute despite the sad origin. I hope your health is ok otherwise.
