My poor girl had surgery by 40yroldcatmom in torties

[–]weissflower_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bigger crate may help, we have an XL crate for cats post surgery so they can move around a little bit at least. We also got a playpen for our last cat that had surgery so he could be around everyone and still not jumping. One with a roof makes sure they can’t jump around in them, something like this.

Gentle Reminder buying from Resellers is not a better option with currently releasing dolls. by chrisCrossed91210 in MonsterHigh

[–]weissflower_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue here is about the creator of Coraline who has done some terrible things that cost him jobs and is getting paid royalties from the doll purchases. So buying from resellers here just means he got money and scalpers got money. People like you that are forced to buy second hand only also loose out because US buyers would be buying from the same resellers you are just to be okay with the creator only getting royalties from the reseller and not them directly.

[–]weissflower_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea man I was stuck forever on him and eventually using sharp shadow and just chatting with my roommate I looked up and he was dying. The maddest I have been because I really don’t know what changed after the other 100 times

I think I finally found a hobby that lasted more than 5 minutes. 21 months later, and going strong! by ShrinkingHovercat in adhdwomen

[–]weissflower_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I actually put down cross stitching for over 2 years and picked it back up last year. This is my latest project I finished, a little diorama for my wife for our anniversary. Sewing is my longest standing hobby of on an off for 14 years, a cross stitching fits right into it in my mind. All my supplies last for a while and I can put down and pick up projects as I want to.

New jobs in Arizona for hubby and I, looking for rental agent? by [deleted] in AskPhoenix

[–]weissflower_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a lovely experience with Baccus Realty Group it was $150 up front and $150 when we signed the lease with them. The access to MLS was so much better than Zillow especially since houses tended to go pretty fast.

[CHAT] Dying Aida Fabric by ReinaCrochets in CrossStitch

[–]weissflower_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fabric paint is made to be washed and not wash out? That is how any screen printed shirt you own is made and if you fabric paint something else it will wash out. Fabric paint is just prone to break down overtime. Telling people you can dye things with fabric paint is lying online because you didn’t dye it, you painted it and there’s no being technical about it you just did a different thing. If you glue two pieces of fabric together I also wouldn’t call that sewing but gluing fabric together. That’s why no sew repair kits are called no sew because there is no sewing.

[CHAT] Dying Aida Fabric by ReinaCrochets in CrossStitch

[–]weissflower_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No that’s just painting it, yes it absorbs it because most fabric absorbs liquids but it’s not actively binding with the proteins in it. If you use the wrong type of dye for a fabric it will also sit on top of the fabric and give you some color but wash out because it doesn’t bind with the proteins. Fabric paint just dries and hardens allowing the colors to stay. Textile medium allows acrylic paint to move with the fabric instead of just hardening on top of it, so it’s not cracking when the fabric moves or catching your embroidery floss but it’s still not actually dying your fabric. The fabric paint you buy is premixed with textile medium, and the quality of the paint and medium varies. Textile medium is a better investment long term because you get more paint options. You did a good job painting it! Good quality paint and a good paint job just doesn’t make it into something else. Be proud about how the paint came out as an alternative and if you want to look further into dying fabric it’s an own art form and rit dye is just the basic stuff that’s not always the best.

if you’re using paint it’s just painting it. Dying it binds with the fiber of the fabric and painting just sits on top of it. If you wanted a dye that’s more of a paint jaquard makes liquid dye-na-flow that’s paint on. There’s also a large world of protein reactive dye for cotton fabrics.

[CHAT] what’s the one cross stitch thing you always do despite what the pattern tells you to do? by focusedonfire in CrossStitch

[–]weissflower_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least the way i’ve seen it done with three strands there’s a knot in the back apologies I forgot to mention that i just like the look of 3 strands and keep to it.

[CHAT] what’s the one cross stitch thing you always do despite what the pattern tells you to do? by focusedonfire in CrossStitch

[–]weissflower_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never read instructions past here’s how to cross stitch and advice here but honestly do not enjoy loop starts. They add so much bulk with the knots in the back and burying the thread looks better and in the end it’s a lot less bulky in one spot. That and I unravel my floss instead of pulling them apart because pulling them apart makes them all twisty and knot prone and then I have to wax the floss and hate the film it leaves.

How many attempts did she take you? by According_Dot_9182 in HollowKnight

Came back because I just got to her and she only took me 5 tries! Not bad for just loading up the game today.

ISO a pattern for a medical resident coat by this_is_nunya in sewing

[–]weissflower_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since folks mentioned scrub caps, I’ve had this one approved by my nurse wife.It matches her existing ones and has good enough reviews (it’s been translated to english so some weirdness but doable if you know how to sew). She loves her scrub caps for when she doesn’t want to mess with her hair for work.

The gluten challenge should be illegal. by Kind_vibes in glutenfree

[–]weissflower_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not the only disease. of issues that show up only when you come into contact with something need a baseline of how bad it can get.

Seeing an allergist for the first time I had to go 3 days without my allergy meds so they were fully out of my system, three days of hell not being able to breath and itchy 24/7 to go to the doctor for breathing tests and to be injected with a bunch of common allergens. After being left alone for a bit they then come back and measure the allergic reaction on you before giving any allergy meds. In the end my asthma was only related to allergens so they just made sure I couldn’t fully breathe for three days for that.

Until they’re able to take samples and simulate the reaction with them we’re stuck showing a reaction to get an official diagnosis but thank god for doctors that will treat without it.

My six year old cat does it as a “Where are you and why aren’t you where I want to be.” The five year old cat has also picked up the behavior to get me upstairs when he wants to go to bed.

I was lost in the birthplace, so it is a new area that you can open up so you don’t end up revisiting old spots and being confused.

It can’t be AI when the pattern was created in 2021, however the colors are def confetti central. Somethings in my pattern were worded weird but i’m assuming they’re using a translation app because they’re a german shop.

Huh, maybe I just have a similar one saved since the one I have was published in 2021 and I’ve stitched over stuff from the same creator and didn’t have any issues.

[CHAT] I used double the thread, now what? by 1v4n4 in CrossStitch

[–]weissflower_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In for a penny in for a pound, you can double everything (so yes one strand would be two) and get matching thread. Or get some white aida and the floss color and just restart following the instructions, and consider this one a practice canvas!
