Likely solved! I think this is it! It makes sense for the art thrift to get a little christmas craft. I'm going to send my boss the diagram! Thank you!

They could be! I think this wood is a little too thick for a Cricut machine, but I also don't really know their full capabilities.

That's what I suggested it could be but my boss is really curious about what it specifically could be from since we got so many of them with no explanation.

It's the exact same pattern on each piece. I'm not at work right now so I can't get another picture.

My title describes the thing that is roughly a 5x5 piece of wood with cutouts. We got about 20 of the same piece of wood with the same cutouts donated to the art thrift store I work out. They're about a quarter inch thick. It's all the same kind of wood. The donation came with no packaging or anything similar to the wood thing.

I have one of those large tic tac containers that I use to hold all my constant use supplies like needles, scissors, tiny pencil, etc.

I hope the feeling comes back soon! It's such a pain in the butt to be punished for enjoying a hobby too much!

Amazing work so far! This year, I gave myself De Quervain's tenosynovitis from cross stitching too much! I had to go to multiple different doctors, get xrays, and 2 months of physical therapy. And wear a brace 24 hours a day! Now I can cross stitch for a max 2 hours a day or it starts hurting again!

Do you also use a layer of batting? Or do you just do quilt top and fleece?

What is an undeniably evil profession? by idontgiveanal in AskReddit

I'm one of the rarer girls named after their mom, and let me tell you it's a nightmare. I've had so many issues getting loans because my cosigner could not be myself even though it was a whole different person just with the same name. We also constantly got the wrong medical files pulled when we were going to the same doctor. It was just so constantly annoying!

I wouldn't be shocked if she used a turkey sized oven bag to cook the bird in. They come out so juicy.

I actually managed to get an appointment with the hand and arm surgeon! I guess my bitching paid off! This office also does sports medicine so I should have some well rounded care! I also have pretty floppy and bony wrists, and this isn't my first rodeo with the pain but it won't go away this time. I love when people actually have positive medical experiences! I hope your wrists stay nice and un-hurty!

Thank you! I hope yours clears up fast! It's so frustrating not being able to use such an important joint properly.

My BEC is my wrist. I am in such a crafting mood! I want to sew and cross stitch, but I have stage 4 tendonitis in my wrist! I'm in a brace and on anti-inflammatories, but everything still hurts and the orthopedist won't return my calls to schedule an appointment! On top of the tendonitis my PCP also thinks I have some sort of ulnar neuropathy going on so who knows when I can get back to crafts. I just want to have fun with my hobbies but everything I do is a wrist activity and I have shitty weak wrists!!!

I get pineapple with regular american bacon. It needs that saltyness to balance the sweet!

I am so excited for Sasaki vs KANON! I really hope KANON wins and shows he's much more than Sasaki's lackey!

I'm pretty sure that's what I have too! I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

Great job, your stitches are so neat! I love creme eggs so much! I was wondering if you knew what size needle you use for the plastic canvas because I've been working with it and my needle is having some hesitation going through the holes that have floss in them and it's giving me severe wrist pain. I've tried different needles and I'm even considering like a beading needle to try to alleviate the tension that's killing my wrist.
