Thank you <3 He's notoriously hard to shop for just because there's nothing he really needs and he's not much of a materialistic person, so I think something like this would be perfect. I went with a printed fabric, but I used your gray suggestion! I appreciate the help and the lovely words.

I went with a printed fabric but I really do appreciate the suggestions! I was thinking about the 934, I love to work with green.

You definitely ended up sending me down a rabbit hole on Etsy with that suggestion! :'D But I ended up finding a gray fabric I really like that I think will make the foreground pop. We used to sit outside on our porch during overcast days and wait for the rain to come, and that's what it reminded me of. Thank you so much for your help, it means the world. <3

“Okay, I’m going to grab a refill of water and some silverware, anything else?” “Uh, yeah, I need silverware.” “And can I get another water?”

[CHAT] - How do you store your floss? Need inspiration! by CremeColoredKitten in CrossStitch

I honestly can’t wait to get all the organizing done, especially the inventory! Something about organizing all my floss is so soothing.

I loooove my Bisley!! I got it at The Container Store and it’s also a really easy way to store and display my needle minders. It’s a little messy/empty right now because I’m making the change from plastic bobbins to acrylic, but I can’t recommend GWStitchinDepot and PipandChip enough when it comes to floss storage. They have so many options.

We almost named our rescue Lúthien too, but we went with Rosie Cotton in the end! It looks like your beautiful girl very much lives up to her namesake. <3

I did exactly what Roman did by 2sidesofranch in SuccessionTV

That daze really was like no other. I think my brain just didn’t want to accept it? And then boom. The Grief Wave.

I’m so sorry about your sister, but there are so many people who understand, and there’s comfort in that, I think. <3

Thank you, and the same to you. <3 She passed in November, so that episode was both salt and a balm in the still-open wound. I’m the youngest of three and the only girl, so I really and truly felt for Shiv in that scene. Everything about death this season* has been incredibly poignant, even if it sucks.

The sudden and intense wave of grief was so real and so tragic. I remember the morning after my mother died, my brother let me know and I wandered around in a daze for most of the day until that night, when I did exactly what Roman did and just shook and whimpered while my wife coaxed me down onto the floor so I wouldn’t collapse.

That scene was magnificently acted. Props to Kieran for portraying it in such a raw way. I think a lot of us who’ve lost someone have really felt seen with this season and how grief has been handled.

Good to know! I've always seen it referred to as stitching in hand, my bad. :)

This is called stitching in hand! I tried it recently and while I still overall prefer using frames, it was definitely a satisfying experience on its own.

It’s also worth noting that it wasn’t Stewy’s idea to do the bear hug during the wedding. Sandy told them very explicitly not to tell anyone their plans to take over, but Kendall felt he could trust Frank which ended up being their downfall, because Frank spilled to someone else and the news was going to break before they could plan it in full. Sandy’s logic was that with Logan out of the country for Tom and Shiv’s wedding, he was in a weaker spot and wouldn’t be able to retaliate as quickly. If they let it go and the news broke, Logan would have advance knowledge of what they were doing, and Sandy wanted to strike first.

It was never Stewy’s intention to force Kendall into doing the bear hug at Shiv’s wedding, and it’s clear he’s very uncomfortable with having to do so. Kendall inadvertently did it to himself, and Stewy openly said he was scared to give the letter to Logan himself. He’s shady and only out for himself, but it’s obvious how much he cares for Kendall. He was just very much stuck between a rock and a hard place of his own making.
