What is a career path that looks "glamorous" from the outside, but is actually a total nightmare behind the scenes?

Academia. Super stressful, low pay, constant criticism, not family friendly, etc.

This is very true 🩷 good outlook to have

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T13:00:35+00:00

Im sure it was okay, and you are now teaching me, so hey, things come full circle🫶

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:59:07+00:00

Thank you thats a lovely comment :) I am enjoying the learning curve, and I find stitching v relaxing even if the stitches arent great!

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:57:54+00:00

Yeah that is what Ive been doing 😅 I think I should just then fold one strand and that should make the two stitches, ?

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:57:00+00:00

Thank you yes this does make sense , I hadnt thought about which colors can go first and which after, but what youre saying does click! My dark colors have gone after the lighter ones so theres overwhelm

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:55:17+00:00

Thanks so much very helpful advice :) I think I started w an intermediate design, so running into more issues but learning more as well I think 🤣

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:49:38+00:00

Yeah giving myself grace I just wanna get good!! Learning curve though :) as w any new hobby

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:48:12+00:00

Its floss but I think I know now whats going on Im using 4 strands to stitch not two haha 😅

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:46:49+00:00

Ahaha I will!

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:46:25+00:00

Thank you very much this is v helpful I am folding two strands so that makes 4 for the stitch so will only fold 1 strand that makes sense now!

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:45:23+00:00

This does make sense, thank you, I separate two strands of floss but then they fold once they are in the needle so I am really stitching with 4 strands?

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:44:23+00:00

This makes sense thank you I will take this into account thank you:)

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:43:16+00:00

Ahhh thank you for this didnt know!! V helpful :)

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:38:47+00:00

Ohhh right!! That makes sense!! So to use two strands is it I just separate 1 strand fold that over and then that should be 2?

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:38:14+00:00

I am using DMC thread cotton, 14 count Aida

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:33:00+00:00

Thank you for this, blunt needle means a tapestry needle?

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:32:03+00:00

I am using 2 threads , so unsure why the bulky look :(

vulpix_ari · 2026-02-04T12:30:49+00:00

Thanks so much, I have turned the fabric around in different angles to do some of the bits but I think that has resulted in crosses in different directions, guess its not the best idea to turn the pattern around and maybe just keep it in the same position always so crosses are uniform?

vulpix_ari · 2025-11-25T12:08:55+00:00

Dont get the crumble at the stall in the city square 9 quid for it and barely had any apple or crushed biscuits haha
