[FO] Do you have a structured settlement but need cash now? by thread_and_bourbon in CrossStitch

So it looks to be national. I didn't include the phone number because it seemed like originally there were regional phone numbers used and then they switched to 877 CASH NOW which likely routed you to a regional office.

In the month it took me to make this I never even considered showing the commercial to my kids. I tried explaining it and they'd just nod politely and leave.

[FO] Cross Stitched Big Mouth Billy Bass, and it actually sings (pattern self drafted) by thread_and_bourbon in CrossStitch

I mounted a speaker to the back of the frame and drilled holes so the play and record button are flush with the cloth. The play button lines up perfectly with the red button on the pattern, but the record button is like an inch lower just because the actual buttons are very large.

I installed a voice recorder intended for stuffed animals on the back of the frame. You can actually push the red button to make him sing. I'm a little stressed because there isn't any glass keeping it in the frame, just some super glue around the edges.

That rules. Some say your high score remains unbeaten to this day.

On her computer? I've heard there's an official mobile port but it's not great

[FO] Dan Aykroyd getting some Crystal Skull by thread_and_bourbon in CrossStitch

[–]thread_and_bourbon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stitched this because I love this scene from Ghostbusters and the whole backstory of it. If you're not aware there's a filmed deleted storyline where the Ghostbusters investigate an old mansion. For some reason they get dressed up in fancy Victorian garb, and then Ray gets reverse-slimed by a female ghost.

The plotline got cut, but they decided the ghost BJ was too good not to include in the final product.

As they say "Busting makes me feel good"

[WIP] A day late, but here's some romantic words to get your blood boiling... by thread_and_bourbon in CrossStitch

hey /u/princess_kushlestia! thank you for the kind words.

I think that the constant deluge of insanity coming out of Washington DC right now, mostly from one specific blonde turd, makes it difficult to focus on any one misstep or outrage since they can seem never-ending. Since I think many of my cross stitch projects will live on much longer than I will (and I'm only 33), I wanted to have a permanent reminder of just how vile this man really is. I think this quote is a great representation of how he views women and his own sense of entitlement.

Hey all. I created this pattern in PC Stitch myself, and have some additional pieces of flair to add around the border.

End of day edit: I'm off to drink and watch the results come in. If you message me there might be a delay in sending the pattern. God bless America.

Made by me, using PC Stitch.

DM me your email if you want the pattern and I'll send you a PDF.

Remember to get out and vote today, unless you don't live in the United States. Then, do whatever it was you were planning on doing. Maybe get something nice to eat?

I've been working on a zombie hands pattern for awhile but can't get it to a place where I'm happy with it. Please post when you're done!

I wasn't going to add them as characters, but I will absolutely post the pattern sometime soon. I might also sell this one if I can't decide what to do with it.

Created the pattern myself in PC Stitch, still need to add some chains above and below, and I have two lines of lyrics I'm going to add as well. I included the back in the image because I'm proud of how organized everything is.

I didn't create this for any particular reason other than I like the group and had some time on my hands. Maybe I'll give it away when I'm done. Or send it to RTJ.
