Re: Jungle Safari Birth Announcement (Update 3/28)

Thanks!

I'm not sure why my phone gave it a blue tint, but yes, it did look pretty bad. It's actually this but mine seems a bit lighter in color.

I now remember the dangers of this forum.

I was doing really well on my stash rehab program, nothing since December. Then I took a peek in the SAL forum and I relapsed. :whistle: I just ordered two of Thomas Kinkade's Disney charts- Beauty and the Beast and Bambi. They were my favorite movies as a child so I couldn't resist. I have no idea ...

Re: listening to music/radio/TV while stitching?

You know those fun blow-everything-up-but-have-no-real-plot movies? I watch those or play Pandora or Grooveshark in the background for the music. I'm another person who can't do silence when I stitch. I don't even study well in silence oddly.

Re: Jungle Safari Birth Announcement (Update 3/28)

As promised, I added a better preview version as well. I do love the anti-handshake feature. This is technically two updates in one. I took photos after the weekend for a SAL I'm in on facebook: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/CrypticDemoness/Weekend2update.jpg and then again after a long ses...

Re: perfect front and back

When I get my photos uploaded (in the process now) for my SAL, I'm going to post a picture of the back, just so I'm not twitching at the mess alone. It's worse than usual. :lol:

Mine's half done so don't feel bad. :wink:

Re: Stash in the trash :-(

I feel your pain. When my brother was around that age, he took my shinies (read: Kreinik collection) and flushed them. ...all of them. :cake: Have you thought of using one of those locking tool boxes or even a filing cabinet to keep your stash in? I'm done both, one for stitching and the other for s...

Re: I have a Really silly question and could use opinions.

Oh, don't worry Angel. I know what you meant. :hug: It was one of the first manipulations I did and I've improved immensely since that one. The comment about horribleness was more of a joke to myself. I know none of you would put my efforts down. The more I looked at it, the less it looked like what...

Re: Needles

I, like wendywombat, put a lot of technical thought into my needles. Whatever size is handy is what I use. :lol: I've yet to wear the coating off of a needle, but I am more than a little enamored with the gold plated needles. Maybe it's the squeak, but I'll likely stick with this should I need to ma...

Re: I hate brown thread

I'm jinxing myself by posting this, but I found this to be true until my latest WIP that uses a lot of 3047 to create a map. It hasn't knotted on me once.

...I can foresee it now. I pick it up tomorrow and it'll knot up in a way that will make a sailor jealous. :roll:

I have a Really silly question and could use opinions.

I don't know if anyone her plays with deviant art but one of the things that caught my interest is photomanipulating, that is, taking a group of photos and turning it into something else. The following is the one that is causing me the most grief. I apologize ahead of time for the size. [Removed due...
