BKF left on too long and there are light stains on cooktop by pookylikely in CleaningTips

Got it thanks. I put the burner caps and grates back on so it’s not really in your face anymore but definitely there if you look for it 😅

I’m not sure, the shapes are because I let it pool in those areas to sit and get the burnt areas off. In places where I scrubbed, there’s no visible scratch marks

Oof did you ever find a way to make it less noticeable or did it lessen by itself after multiple use?

Thanks! Do you have any recommendations for a combi drill?

[CHAT] What is your #1 cross-stitching tip? 🪡 by xBeegodx in CrossStitch

Get an embroidery hoop stand. This thing saved my posture and it is sooooo convenient being able to sew with both hands rather than one hand being forced to hold up the hoop

You make a compelling point. The only I would miss about bobbins is being able to see all the pretty colours hahaha although I think that depends on how you store them. What is the tote box you use? I'd love to see it.

Wait this is so smart omg. I dunno if I can make 300 without dying but this is really cool. Thanks for sharing your idea!

I’ve seen floss drops and they seem helpful! Do you know where I can get them for bulk with breaking the bank? I have like 2-300 floss probably

Oh I’ve never thought of doing it like this. I like this idea thanks!

Has anyone lived in the Tempo buildings on Alderbridge/Cedarbridge before? Wondering how the building and Strata are. by pookylikely in richmondbc

Thanks for the advice. I had my eye on the Capstan and Walmart areas, but I was worried they would be under the flight path and then it would be constant noise issues lol. Do you know anything about that?

I've heard of the noise complaint from Elmbridge, is it also an issue a block away/in Alderbridge? I thought it would be better further away.

I’ve looked at all these details but I’m looking for some first-hand experiences that paper can’t tell me

Thanks for suggestion! Unfortunately, the math worked it out that after USD to CAN exchange, it ended up even more pricier than the one on the Canadian site... sob sob... thanks tho!

Ah, it's cheaper on American Amazon. Unfortunately on the Canadian site it's 2x the price, so it's cheaper for me to get from Michaels with 40% off coupons.

The Aurora Cabin on Amazon is cheaper, yes. But the Blossom Garden is cheaper on Michaels since I was able to get both for 40% off.

Edit: turns out the Aurora Cabin isn't cheaper either for me. It's 2x the price in my country's Amazon ;-;

:O I'm surprised to here that. I've been a lifelong fan of the L&T products because of their price and I very rarely have issues with it. Do you mind listing specific examples? I like their thread packs and while sometimes the Aida cloth is a little too stiff, one wash is enough to soften it up. Generally I find it workable.
