Agreed. Peak cookie is definitely oatmeal chocolate chip. 

Well I’m actually a huge fan of the other Les Mis with no music (despite Claire Danes’ involvement) but I will give this a shot as the cast is excellent. Plus I’ve never met a PBS/BBC Masterpiece costume drama I didn’t like. 

Never in a million years would I have thought Maine would be more progressive in LA in something, haha.

That both makes more sense AND is incredibly sad. Oh well, better small gestures than none I guess.

Our McDonalds already do this here. Well, at least the few locations I’ve ordered happy meals at since Mini Pie was old enough. I was relieved the first time because I saw the poster and knew she was going to want the “boy” one more...but then it was a non-issue.

This looks AWESOME! I love the gold backstitch around the letters, you are totally right.

I have tried that but I am terrible at it, lol. I keep the knots small so they don’t bump and after washing they aren’t right up against the fabric anyways but you’re right that this is the technically correct way to do it!

Look at it though, it’s incredible! The bread also looks yummy. And I am just as susceptible to festive nails!

Heyyyy how are you on this fine evening?

I tie one end of the three strands. The other end, I Thread through the eye of the needle about an inch and just fold it over. Then I hold the needle in such a way that it doesn’t pull that end out while stitching. When I run out of room for more stitches, I pass the needle under some existing stitches on the back to…

I like it! 

Hmmm I can’t quite picture what you’re doing, haha. I separate my big strand of six into two strands of three. Then knot the end of one and start stitching, so it looks the same as the whole strand.

Oooo can’t wait to see this!

Hah! Worth a shot though!

Ooooo all so pretty! Ok, those metallic threads are gorgeous but a pain in the ass to stitch with, that’s why I only did the horn. If you have a little beeswax handy it helps to rub a smudge in between your fingers and then draw your three stands through it after you tie the end. Helps prevent fraying.

Whoa I’m almost on time for SNS! Craft THREAAAAAAAAAD!

That story is AMAZING. My only wish is that somehow there had been cameras following them. 

This is hilarious but also reading both “influencers” and “social media celebrities” as real honest things that exist breaks my brain. 

I have NOT! I will check it out, thank you!

Nailed It! is awesome and fun and worth watching. And it is very much laughing with them, not at them. Everyone seems to be having a great time on the show, even when they fail miserably. Nicole Byer is hilarious.
