A little bit of happiness

I was talking to my local dollar general store manager today about the cards, he had little knowledge about them and wondered why they sold so fast. All he knew is that it is supposed to be for the kids and he always felt bad when the kids would be sad when told he didn’t have any cards left. So he did something about it, and after our conversation today he said he is going to figure out a way to take it further to make sure that the kids and collectors/players actually get them.

Before the conversation today he had issues from scalpers from other stores buying his store out, then they tried bragging to him that they were going to all the stores every delivery day. He called corporate as soon as they left, they got in a bunch of trouble and are now banned from shopping at the other stores. He has also banned 2 other scalpers as well when he found out what they were doing.

After our conversation today he said that he probably isn’t going to put the new sets out anymore and keep them in the back and when he has kids or people who actually collect/play the game come in he will bring out some of what he has at a time for them. He has no idea what pokemon is but he realizes there is a serious problem with distribution and is trying his best to do the right thing.

Bee takeover

So our recycling bin has been taken over with bees. Everything that people have been telling me seems like it will hurt them or kill them, which I don’t want to do. I am very allergic to them and will feel bad if the garbage men get stung. How do I get these guys to move on without hurting them?

Acne question

So I have been struggling with acne for a while now, currently in a bad break out episode. My hormones are already all messed up. So I’m curious what others experiences are regarding this? Did you break out more, or less, or no difference?

Connectivity issues with maker

Just curious if anyone else has been having issues the last couple of days with keeping your cricut maker connected to your computer as well? It seems after every other cut it disconnects 😭😓

Calibrating

I didn’t get any of the lines on the calibration sheet other than the black lines. Or can I just not see them?

Honeycomb picture frame

I just finished this crossstitch and am trying to decorate the frame with honey combs. My question is, should I skip the honeycomb border, figure out a way to lay this better, or recut a bigger square so I can do it in one go instead of like a puzzle?

Edit: more like an update lol. I solved my problem by overlapping and trimming where needed with the scalpel knife. I’m happy with how it turned out (especially for it being my first project!)

Cross stitch prints

Has anyone ever tried printing a cross stitch pattern with their cricut before? I’m curious how it would work. I haven’t gotten to use my cricut yet (just got it in the house today)

First ever project

Finally finished my very first project! I tied off the whiskers and the tip of the ear on the cat. I have seen on other posts about people washing their works afterwards, my question on that is how do you go about washing them? And any tips on things you guys think I could do differently next time?

Pattern I used is from Amazon and is called “Loops & Threads” it uses 12 ct. canvas and cotton yarn

We are visiting Ireland this week and was wondering if there is a golf course here that doesn’t have a dress code/allows jeans? And has club rentals?

I read that they have free WiFi. Do we need to have their app on our phone in order to use it? Or do we just go to airplane mode and then join it?

We are flying to Ireland from Minnesota on Saturday and need to know if I am wrong in this or not. I like to crochet and was wanting to do so on the airplane ride. I am wondering how you guys would feel sitting by someone crocheting? It won’t be a big project, some coasters and a couple small blankets for my daughter’s toy babies. Do you think this would be fine, or should I hold off?
