I could see how that one could be frustrating to use.

It's so amazing to watch it with your own eyes. Did you get to see it dance?

The fabric is the perfect backdrop.

It's cloudy here tonight but when we had a storm this strong last spring, we could see it with the naked eye, but the colors showed up much better on camera. Weaker storms would just give a slight green or pink cast to the sky and you could only see columns and such via camera.

Oh that sounds awful. It's so lonely.

Seems legit. I won't read the story to confirm.

I want to hit them with a shovel.

I hate it for adding fiddly detail like faces and stuff where the tiniest shift in placement can give a totally different look. But I don't mind it for outlining or more straightforward details like bird feet or something.

Cosmo floss. Maybe 898 or 899.

Oh my backs are all disasters, lol. I'm getting a little better over the years but I have knots and travel with my floss and generally don't care what the backs look like.

It's Owl Forest, The Goose and The Fox. They have an etsy shop under ChouttedesForets, I think.

But I have the hardcopy pattern, if you'd like me to mail it to you.

Oh there are lots of mistakes in there. Some of them I worked around and some I frogged and re-stitched. This piece took me about 3 months. It's not large - just a ton of detail crammed in a small pattern.

Back when it was still invite only they had issues with this too. There was a huge outcry from users about how inappropriate it was to suspend accounts of people experiencing SI.

This is $3.18 USD. I can get it as low as about $3.69 here right now, but if tariffs of 107% are applied...I mean, I guess I'd better stock up.
