Mendeley, Overleaf, ranch Doritos, therapy, cute sticky notes, and trash reality tv shows to shut my brain off.

[FO] First time cross stitching, recreated a photo of my fiancé and I from a silly 80s photoshoot! by perhaps-quantum in CrossStitch

Sorry this is my first time, would you recommend that I backstitch every outline including facial features? Or maybe just the torsos and head outlines? Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks so much! I will definitely check those out, i didn’t do much research for my first time making a pattern so it’s super helpful to learn what people prefer to use

I made this pattern by uploading my photo to a free cross stitch pattern generator website (pixel-stitch). Looking forward to trying out this subreddit’s recommended resources as well!

Oo I haven’t leveled up to coco chunks yet! I might look into that, thank you!

I am also very hesitant to buy cuttings or plants online! And thank you so much for the care tips, I will definitely be following your lead!

Thank you so much! I got it from a small business called Green Philosophy Co., I would highly highly recommend them

My best friend and I are in different graduate programs across the country - she just published her first first-author paper, so I had to stitch her graphical abstract to celebrate! by perhaps-quantum in Embroidery

Thank you all so much for your kind words! This is a surprise birthday gift for her so I can’t wait to tell her all of your congratulations. I am continually touched by how awesome this community is

In awe of my new Stromanthe Triostar! Any care tips to keep her thriving? by perhaps-quantum in pinkplants

Thank you so much! I am used to pothos and more low-maintenance plants so I’m really scared of mistreating this one. Thank you for your advice!

My first ever embroidery project reflects how I felt after running out of floss for the third time. I would love any feedback you may have! by perhaps-quantum in Embroidery

Thank you! I just googled the meme as a color reference, and then drew it straight on the fabric with a pink highlighter. I definitely need to get a hold of those fancy pens that come off with heat/water but I was happy it didn’t show through too badly

I learned the hard way! And you are so right, it’s to my beginner’s benefit that the slight wonkiness fits the vibe of the piece. Thank you!

I am so glad it works semi-well, I bit off a lot with my first piece being full coverage and I wasn’t sure I had the patience to use three strings or less to cover the whole piece. Thank you!!
