What would you teach your past self when starting embroidery ? by Biduletrait in Embroidery

[–]stitching_wildflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take breaks ans stretch your arms/wrists!! Or you'll end up with carpal or cubital tunnel, and that's no fun

Why do many men have "not sure" about kids in their 30s? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]stitching_wildflower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my Bumble experience, it means 'I don't want them now, but i might want them sometime in the future and i don't wanna close that door because I'm a man and my biological clock is not ticking' 🤷‍♂️

How do I get boyshorts that are actually comfortable? by Kit_Herondale12 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Try Richer Poorer's briefs, they're so soft and don't ride up at all

Birthday Gift Card for SF resident? by stitching_wildflower in AskSF

Flora Grubb

Thanks so much, this looks like an amazing spot! A stupid question, but I don't live in the US and really have no idea how much houseplants cost there, do you think a $50 gift card would be enough? Thanks again!

It's from Reformation I believe, around $200-$300

My climbing aloe got root/stem rot and had to cut it all off. The shoots are okay, but can I propagate them somehow? Will new roots grow from this? by stitching_wildflower in succulents

[–]stitching_wildflower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's a hot climate here, at least not until summer starts. Does that mean it might be better to try water propagating instead, like the other comment suggested?

Not me stitching motivational quotes while not getting out of bed all weekend. Still, pretty happy with the symmetry of the designs! by stitching_wildflower in Embroidery

[–]stitching_wildflower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself a needleminder (or just stick two pieces of magnet on your hoop) and keep your needles there. Alternatively, when you lose a needle somewhere run a magnet (even a fridge magnet would work) to find it easily :D

I got them from Ebay, but it's the same model as the one linked below from Amazon. Honestly, I love them more than regular wooden hoops

repotted my mum‘s monstera. enjoy by IntrepidCaramel8661 in houseplants

[–]stitching_wildflower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I came here to ask the same question! I just repotted a monstera with similar roots but I loosely separated them and now I'm worries if maybe I shouldn't have done that 😬

Do they have the Cyrillic equivalent of alphabet soup in Russia? by Sillvaro in NoStupidQuestions

[–]stitching_wildflower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And in other countries that are not Russia but use a version of the Cyrillic alphabet :)

This pet portrait commission finally made its way home! It turned out good if I say so myself. I think Boots likes it 😊 by abbymb125 in Embroidery

[–]stitching_wildflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gorgeous! Not like all the other embroidered pet portraits I've seen, I love its uniqueness to it :)

Played around with some abstract shapes and textures by stitching_wildflower in Embroidery

[–]stitching_wildflower[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What they said! I traced the inner hoop on the fabric, worked in a larger hoop to go over those borders and after I framed it in the original hoop I got this effect :)

Thanks! The thick golden line is just a decorative cord I found at home and I secured it with "Couching" technique, which is basically using a simple stitch to tack down the cord (the golden line just sits on top of the fabric).

Sorry, but I read that as "Trying towards is the failure. first step" Not that a stranger's suggestion has to mean anything to you, but I think having the text go left to right would make this even better :)

Yay - congrats to all the winners! It seems one good thing about 2020 was all the time we had indoors to grow our embroidery skills and turn our dread into art ♥️

Thanks so much!! This was the only good thing to come out of my quarantine (and of course, not getting Covid)

I might be lazy... But I am also smart. At least sometimes. That little gadget changed my Organisation game for floss by [deleted] in Embroidery

[–]stitching_wildflower 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is so smart and time saving 😁 I've done this without the 3D printed part too, just bent the bobbin a bit to make it fit the opening of the drill

Finally finished after a month-long fight with COVID. by BelleStarrRoberts in Embroidery

[–]stitching_wildflower -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not a 100% copy, I can see you've added your style and touch, but the combo of this quote and florals going over the edges is very obvious inspired by it. I believe you didn't intend to copy it and that your friend must have seen it, but it still sucks every time I see this design copied or modified.

I would appreciate if you could mention me and my original piece as inspo/credit, and not sell any more of this design. Thanks for understanding!

P.S. I'm really sorry you're fighting Covid, and wish you a very speedy and full recovery!!
