I'm the same. It's been years since I bought one, so I just make my own to my own sweetness preference.
How about beaver tails / horse blankets / whale tails? With just plain ol' cinnamon and sugar.
Or Nanaimo Bars! But I live in Australia now, so I guess it's snags and Vegemite toasties.
I don't know the details of your break up, but when I went through my last serious relationship where he broke up with me over text, I just stopped talking to him. Yes, I cried a lot because I was so confused and destroyed because hd kept telling me that it wasn't anything that I'd done (found out later he was cheating), but I knew I had to move on.
I turned my sadness in to anger and picked up running and exercise. Endorphins helped a lot, and so did the mindset of "I'm going to be better, and he's going to regret it, but I'll never take him back." Probably not an entirely healthy way of deal with it, but it worked. Still cried every night, but it worked. I then found another sport and just fell in love with it, so I focused entirely on that. I'm still doing this sport today.
You may never get the closure that you're satisfied with. This you will also have to accept. He may not even be telling you the truth.
Make sure you have some supportive people around you, and keep yourself distracted. This is #1. Best of luck. You're stronger than you think.
I've seen this in underground or undercover parking spaces where there's a vent in the wall.
"Did he have to strip?"
+1 for Firefly!
"What do you mean lower myself, that's the only thing I've ever been. Just a simple human that couldn't save a little girl, even with alchemy." 😭
"It's a terrible day for rain."
Any talk of "we" from the boss really means "you". It's exceptionally maddening when the boss is already a POS who has an A+ for delegation but F- for teamwork and care factor.
I finally have something a little more substantial to share, and I didn't want to flood anyone's feed every week, so here it is.
I wanted to do the banner just under "Begins" but I forgot that I couldn't source the colour at the time... So off to the shop I go!
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Thanks, I'm never going to look at these the same again.
Good evening, everyone!
I've done a search through this group and I'm not able to find anything on my topic question, so I'll create a post.
How do you organised your threads? I bought these plastic floss cards from Spotlight, and at first I thought they were a good idea because they'll last longer than cardboard ones, but I'm having troubles with the threads coming undone.
4-6 strands on one seems to hold well, but when there's only two, they start to unravel.
Any tips on how to manage this? Or should I start over with something else? I'm contemplating tiny pieces of painters tape to keep them together. I don't even know if I'm wrapping them correctly.
Also tried trusty Google, but I don't think I've used the right key words. A lot of results are not giving me what I need.
Thanks in advance. 🤗
Am I right to assume "FO" is "Finished object"?
Slow going, but I've had a busy week. Had a wild Friday night with the last of the back stitching.
Now to figure out what to do with it.. Frames can be expensive. 😣 While I think on it, on to the next one that's been sitting for a few months ready to go!
Happy Friday, everyone.
First time posting here. I've finally learned how to navigate Lemmy a little better and have landed here. Thank you for having me.
I used to cross stitch as a kid, and I've picked it up again 25 years later. I'm really enjoying it now that I can count better 😂
Here's a project I picked up last year. I bought it online on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/794868860/foxes-in-the-leaves-easy-cross-stitch?ref
Slowly making my way through it and enjoying every minute.
Edit: Have never attached a photo before, so I've attached it in to URL box.
I've lived in Australia for over 5 years now and I've never seen this bug before. Tried all sorts of Google search keywords to no avail.
Found it hanging on my window. I live in Central Victoria.
Does anyone know what this is?
Thanks in advance.
I'm learning Irish. My schedule is crazy busy, but I do a lot of driving for work so I listen to Irish speaking lessons. I also do this only while I'm on the road because my Irish boyfriend has no idea I'm doing this so I can speak Irish on our wedding day.
I can say things like where I've been yesterday, where I am today, where I'll be tomorrow, what are you doing, what were you doing, it was great craic, I don't know, I'd like a pint of Guinness, please.
I'll probably get made fun of for speaking the Ulster dialect (his family is all Dublin), but my favourite instructor that I've found is from Belfast and at least I'll be able to speak it. ☘️
