I’ve wanted to try it for a long time, but never got around to it. I’m curious about any techniques that are more grass roots outside of the commercialized space, like what are the absolute minimum things needed when repeatability, convenience, and time are not important factors, but money and access to rare markets is...
30ish years ago, I burned my own screens using this red film that you would cut with an xacto knife and peel off the parts you didn’t want. Omg it was so tedious. We were manually doing the job of a modern Cricut.
About 5 years ago I wanted to do a project but no longer had any of my old gear. Bought a screen online and for sure bought the upgrade for them to burn the art on it for me. So worth it. I was so tickled that that service even existed.
It’s definitely hard to miss all the people where I live pulling out of driveways in dresses and people taking pictures across all the public areas, it really lets you know it’s prom time....
I volunteer for a nonprofit whose mission is trans empowerment. One of the things they do is host an inclusive prom for all the folks who shared your feelings on the matter. It is a really beautiful experience to witness.
I have very painful joints and expect to get formally diagnosed with arthritis tomorrow. I love cross stitching, but my god does it make my hands hurt. I also work in IT, so my hands are in use all day for my job. I want to be able to craft after work to relax, but my hands just hurt and cramp immediately when I try to work on a...
I sometimes use compression gloves when I crochet. They make it a little harder to maintain my normal tension, but I think they might lend themselves very well to stitching.
Meant to add that I have the kind without the fingertips. They’re not fingerless though.
Yes, I wish we had done this then as well. I also would tell myself what my migraine triggers are, so that I could try to avoid getting the worst one ever the day after the wedding. I started the honeymoon on hard mode, and didnt get to enjoy the initial travel. It took a couple days to subside and then honeymoon was great.
Not only hemorrhoids but you can also get diverticula from straining too hard too often. They don’t go away once they form, and can become infected (diverticulitis) which is most unpleasant. Pain like kidney stones or appendicitis.
You had the first half right, it’s “beans and cornbread”. It’s a southern cheap staple meal of pinto bean soup with cornbread crumbled into it. Usually with a side of “fried taters” (potato coins skillet-fried in cast iron).
Did your ever try running an ozone machine in it? Windows rolled up, let that thing go for the longest time the timer will do. Be careful to not breathe it when you open it back up to air out. But this took out a really gross wet dog smell in my house when I first bought it. It neutralizes cat urine odor. You may need to do more than one session, but it may work for you.
This would make a great cross stitch pattern. Like one of those floral circles grandma might have on her wall… but less saccharine, more contemplative.
Have you ever tried silkscreen printing?

Does anyone here have any tips for making cross stitching easier on hand joints?
