BUCKETS OF HATE

Dec 12, 2013 13:44

I snapped one of my embroidery needles and now I'm waiting for another one to arrive before I can continue with the awful misguided velvet jacket of doom. I should probably find material for and cut the sleeves and sew them so they're ready for when/if I ever finish the embroidery, but I don't feel very optimistic ( Read more... )

IDK maybe it's the time of year or the hellacious god of ASD/BPD sleep?

Pretty dress!

Good luck with the embroidery. Do embroidery needles snap much? Beading needles break all of the time.

Now I want to figure out how to do a story about a nightmare seller, only I'd need to figure out a plot that isn't too cliche.

This one did because it's hellishly thin, and I'd managed to bend it a little on some unforgiving fabric, it was starting to rust from the sweat on my fingers (what even) and then I tried to straighten it and SNAP. :( Hopefully one or more of the ones I've ordered will do the job, as the ones I've been using are too blunt and wide for what I want to do. I did learn a bit about embroidery needles while I was shopping, though, so that's good. Apparently I want "straw" or "millinery" ones.

That's a tricky one... how is the extended holiday season treating you?

The thinness sounds like beading needles. And learning the correct needles makes everything better.

I can think of plots, but it's mostly obvious and cliche stuff.

The holidays have been great! I'm really enjoying all the time and relaxation!

i really like that dress! amazon's anti-hotlinking is no match for your aggressive code-searching. :D and you're getting your tooth yanked soon, yes? because you shouldn't still be in pain.

It arrived! And it fits! Snugly, but it fits!

Yes, my tooth goes this afternoon and then I get to be in more pain.

Yay! You were worried about the fit; does it?

Yes! Tightly, but in a way that makes me look like my boobs could attack someone. Also, the way it's put together it wouldn't be too hard to adjust the waist.
