My Mom is a huge princess Di admirer so had to do this for her. I wanted to make it an ornament but I haven’t done one yet and didn’t want to mess it up. Any pointers on my stitching are welcome!! I am winging it but loving my new hobby!
I’m admittedly new to the NP world but can someone explain paying $20 for this guide? This is just a collection of stitches- I don’t think she made them up? I always google what stitches look best for sand, water, etc so I’m confused by this.
Had spontaneous twins and had to cancel my Patreon but dying to know how much she had to pay for the tickets!! What do y’all think?
Did anyone notice? It was one of those videos where you put a phrase and say it supportive, sarcastic, disgusted, etc. and the phrase was “You use DMC” - the comments I read were calling them out for being judgy (def gave those vibes). One comment even called them out for putting DMC in their little boxes they just sold for $300. I think it’s funny they deleted it. It was so clearly in bad taste.
Is this too busy for the bg?
Edited to add: I changed to a lighter pink and did continental. ◡̈ Thanks for the advice!
I just started and have finished maybe 6 or so projects. I’ve used DMC floss for most projects so far because I don’t want to spend $9 a skein. Why is it so hated? I really like it and my projects have turned out fine. Is the hate forced or am I really missing out?
A 35 y/o married woman I know has gotten sucked into a MLM. Just posted this today. 😂
I need opinions from people who aren’t entrenched in this.
For context: my husband and I moved out of my home state several years ago, the rest of my family is still there. My mom and sister live close but both my sister and my relationship with our mom is strained. She is very sweet but she has been an alcoholic since my sis and I were 5 and 10 respectively. She does have bouts of sobriety but she’s easily triggered and will drink or take pills. She has ruined so many good things with her alcoholism- she showed up to babysit my niece completely under the influence of something, was drunk/on pills at my sister’s wedding to the point where she ruined every pic she was in, just messy. When she’s sober she will be apologetic and embarrassed, but really doesn’t understand the toll it puts on us. My dad did pass way tragically in 2012 so she’s had a go of it, BUT she was doing this before he died AND she’s happily remarried.
Here is the most recent drama (also important to note my sister and I BOTH have toddler twins + older kids, we work from home, like we are in the trenches):
My sister sends my mom and I (group text) a picture of my niece who is “graduating” kindergarten in her cap and gown- they are clearly in a garage or something where a backdrop was put up for photos. My mom sidebar texts me how upset she is that she wasn’t invited to the graduation. I tell her it looks like a photo shoot, not an actual ceremony. She insists it had to be a ceremony. My sister goes on in the group chat (not knowing my mom is upset) and says they don’t really have a graduation so one of the moms set up this little photo op in her garage so they have the cap and gown moment. Great- that should clear everything up for my mom.
The next day she says to just me that she saw pictures of past graduations on the school’s website. I was like “I don’t thing (sister) would lie.” She agrees.
Today she text me that she CALLED the school and there is a graduation but she’s “over it.” Remember I have three kids 5 and under, I’m working full-time with no family around, I don’t really care about this petty drama but I don’t want my mom to feel left out so I ask my sister if there’s actually a graduation. She says no, there’s like a little chapel thing but there’s no going on stage, no cap and down, it’s like low key. I tell my mom and she gives me the guilt trip for asking my sister. I was like “I didn’t even mention you! I just asked her if there was anything!” I’m like dude I can’t win. I’m positive this situation has triggered her to drink or take pills because she’s acting insane. I ended up blocking her for my sanity but I truly don’t know where to go from here.
What would you do?
