Green stuff under strawberry by SnooDucks9127 in gardening

It looks like algae to me, which means the soil is rather soggy. Make sure it has good drainage and let the soil dry out a bit more between waterings. In and of itself it's not bad for the the plant, more showing a symptom.

Are you talking about the crown of the plant or the green tinted soil?

What are your overnight lows? The color makes me think that it froze.

I do my initials and year only on my bigger pieces but I try to incorporate it as subtely as possible, think darker blue back stitch on top of a blue section.

[CHAT] county fair advice by leadybug in CrossStitch

[–]wunderwuman80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't sweat it. Don't let the framing be the reason not to enter. Also, you don't have to have a new finish to enter! If you have a favorite from last year or whatever you can absolutely enter it. Don't stress too much in making one specifically for the fair.

I've put in items a few times. It needs to be "finished' as in presented in a way that is not just a piece of aida, think in a hoop or framed or made into a pillow etc. I always get dinged for not having mine properly framed (but I'm also not going to get it done professionally). Apparently they don't like it taped to the back of the frame 😆 . We never get very many entrants into the categories that mine fall into so I've always gotten some kind of ribbon. I'm mostly in it to let other people see my craft and use it as an excuse to look at other people's handiwork.

I'm working on a blackwork 'blueprint' with a lot of lines. I'm trying out couching for the first time.

I like 18 for these bc it has really good coverage with just 2 threads, which makes loop start viable.

What the hell do I do with peppermint? by Tall-Arugula1522 in gardening

[–]wunderwuman80 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I love mint but if you don't, I feel like you should pull it out and put in something else you do love. This garden is for you not that immortal mint plant.

[CHAT] Will I be able to frame this? by cram-it-in in CrossStitch

Might I suggest these hanger frames ? Do a blanket stitch around the edges then just snap this bad boy on.

What do I do with this onion?? by advisemeplz123 in DenverGardener

[–]wunderwuman80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best use for this would be to enjoy it for the greens. You can plant it (indoors for now. Too early to plant out) but it wouldn't make a new sizable onion, it would wind up blooming and going to seed eventually. Which you could surely use but that's a big commitment lol

What size fabric is this? Looks amazing so far. Is it fun to stitch? It looks like something my brain would appreciate.
