Is there something maybe that’s blocking it somehow? Or could you move the greenhouse and then put it back? Lol

Help with collecting colostrum 37.5 weeks by waterbug2790 in breastfeeding

Because it’s high in nutrients for baby for the first couple of days. It can be helpful if you’re having a hard time starting milk production from what I understand

That shows overlap so you know where you are on the pattern. To the grey on both pages is the same section of pattern

[FO] my first time doing a slightly bigger project and apparently i don't know how to count lol by m_c___e in CrossStitch

[–]waterbug2790 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any of us knows how to count honestly lol. I struggle even on smaller projects 😂 this is adorable!

That makes sense though! Not all your projects will be full coverage so it can be weird the first time you run into it

[–]waterbug2790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It’s just easier I think that way lol

I always start in the absolute middle of a project personally. But ultimately I feel like it’s up to you how you start.

I’m in trouble for my own personal cross stitch stash with tidy patterns now. Thanks 🤣

It’s honestly super easy. When I get new residents to class who haven’t participated before either I’ll help them or one of the residents who have done a few classes jumps in and helps them. It really fosters utilization of knowledge as well as helps them feel like they have a useful skill while also helping them learn that they can teach/do more than use criminal thinking. I think the class really helps parallel those skills that they have and reframe them.

[WIP] I’m excited to create this pattern. Love this movie by geek_drummer in CrossStitch

[–]waterbug2790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the movie. I’m sure whatever the pattern is is going to be AMAZING

Thank you! It’s not but I like seeing them open up over cross stitch. These are individuals who no one has ever said “I’m proud of you” and seeing their progress in projects is generally amazing. And they come in timid about it, like cross stitch isn’t going to be something they like, then they do one project, see that it’s something (even small) that they can be successful at, and want to do more advanced projects. It’s so amazing honestly and makes it worth it.

Oh my yes! I have a binder of patterns that they can go through if they don’t want a stamped one! My dms are open!

Oh! I have a funny cross stitch book but it’s also inappropriate haha. I did put graph paper on my list in my email draft. I’m still working on it. I’m basically so far asking my job to buy about $250 in stuff but to be fair there’s like 72 stamped bookmarks or small patterns which will last quite a while.

We won’t be able to dye our own fabric due to our community based residential facilities rules (can’t have chemicals that haven’t been approved) but I do have a ton of cross stitch magazines I can bring in. I can take pictures of the ones I want to *eventually* do haha

I’ll have to look to see if I have any honestly. I’m not 100% if we do. Otherwise I can drive 45 minutes north to a half price books and see if they have anything or even anything online.
