I have been.... it made me start planning my wedding which we have actually almost finished... a week or two of planning and budgeting and voila. A wedding skeleton.
Also, crafts for the apartment walls, the crayon drip paintings. I have done 3 with a friend and we have 2 more to do. (For her Mum's birthday and the office) But we did a pink one outlining Hello Kitty. |
Interesting. Yes Pinterest is interesting (d'oh) but I'm dizzied enough looking at all the patterns and projects on Ravelry. It is a much more specific thing, of course, but...
|
I've always wanted to do a crayon drip painting. I'll have to try that this summer ;D
|
Pininterest looks interesting, but I don't have an account. Maybe I will someday.
|
I'm on far too many sites >.> Maybe that is why a lot of my days are spent online.
I'd get out more but, I live in a small town. |
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ I'm afraid to meet the people I live near lol. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
I think the fact that I spend so much time online is the reason that I'm on so many sites, not the other way around, haha. I just spend a lot of time on my own. Don't really go out much except with my twin sister and we often have problems and neither of us drive so we can't go far LOL.
I don't know, there might be all right people in the area, but I don't have THAT much interest to meet that many people. |
I have no social life passed going to cons
|
That's more than I've got.
|
I think I agree with the theory that it is the fact that I am on so many sites is the reason I am on-line most of the day.
I have little social life, too. |
Interesting, Angel. Well, for me, it's the other way around. I spend a lot of time online so I join a lot of sites... And then I have more motivation to spend time online, it's true, but if I want to be doing something offline, I am past the point of caring if I am missing an event or something on 20 sites... XD. However part of the reason I'm online every day even when I wouldn't be going on sites otherwise is because I count on talking with my friend every night either via e-mail or instant messenger.
|
I just don't have anything more interesting to do in real life, so I hang out on line.
I sometimes take time out for things I have to do in real life, though. |
Mostly I do crafts and watch t.v. and movies and such. Sometimes go for a walk or more often shopping, but it also kind of amounts to going on a walk. I should say that I do live with my parents and my sister and do sometimes go out with them.
|
I live with my parents, and try to take a walk around the block most days. I also go out with friends, but only watch a little TV. Sometimes I read a book. I'll be doing more reading when I start up my seasonal job. I'll be reading on my breaks.
|
I read on my breaks right now. I've just read a really good, very strange book called American Gods. Having a Kobo has really helped me to read more. I used to pretty much never read. I started reading a little when I got my phone. But it is even easier with a dedicated e-reader. You'd think it would be for someone who already reads a lot, but... I only read a lot now because I have it. It is more convenient.
I'd like to go out with friends I suppose, but I haven't got any... I'm not really good at making friends who I only know because they are near me... |
α ƒℓσωєя ѕσ вєαυтιƒυℓ, ву αηу σтнєя ηαмє.... ☆·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.¤ ~♡のⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡~ ¤·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.☆ ❀Well I'm trying to make a hard choice in my life. Two days ago I went on a cleaning binge. I.e. I tossed a bunch of stuff including extra flosses I won't use, combined my flosses in the boxes and tossed every single cross stitch pattern, aida cloth I have in the entire house. I also tossed all my mill seed beads used for it as well. I have my floss itself and needles left. My husband thinks I should keep it for at least two years in case I might want to stitch again but I have had no desire at all to do it for about 5 months now and no interest in it either. I did this before and it took me over 5 years or more to get back into cross stitching again and that even took me a few years to get back into hard again. I don't want to do that again. So right now I am trying to choose if I want to keep them or not anymore. I even cleaned out my bookmarks and got rid of all the cross stitching ones I have and all patterns on my computer as well including the ones I purchased. I even considered getting rid of my biscornus. And I might do that if we have to move, sell the big really good ones. I thought I would let everyone know this. ☆·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.¤ ~♡のⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡~ ¤·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.☆ ˙˙˙˙ємαη яєнтσ уηα ув 'ℓυƒιтυαєв σѕ яєωσℓƒ α |
That sounds tough... What happens with me when I am doing that, even if it is a craft I only tried once or whatever, it makes me interested in it again. Of course, then that sets back cleaning for awhile...

± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂Someone on a different site agreed with the hubby. To keep it for 2 years in case I want to do it again. But I have a feeling I won't. When I find out next week if we have to move or not I might make my final choice for sure. Then I will know if I have to lug it to a new place or not. Might make things easier for me to choose. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
I suppose. I never really give up on things. I mean, I have been cleaning out my closet and whatnot lately and getting rid of a lot of clothing that I haven't worn in awhile but when it comes to stuff I can make things out of... well I have a hard time getting rid of it.
|
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ I've always gotten rid of other crafting things and it never bothered me before... But cross stitching has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years now and it's hard to make a choice about that for sure. It scares me to choose this and it also doesn't. It's so hard to find a good pattern that makes me want to get back into it. I even tossed like 5 kits that I started to work on already and ended up just throwing them all out. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
That's tough. As for me I would hold on to the patterns on my computer, regardless of whatever else I got rid of, upload them to my google docs or whatever. But everything else is likely replaceable. Embroidery floss requires much smaller amounts than yarn...
|
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ Very true. Yarn is harder to toss for sure. Floss is alot easier to do. It's so much cheaper and smaller to store. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
But if I were to get rid of my stuff I wouldn't be throwing it away, I would sell or donate it.
|
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ It's hard to donate stuff here. Hubby wouldn't want to take it to a store to do that. He'd let it sit in the house. I am selling two books of patterns. One of them is from oen of the best pattern makers of all time for cross stitching. Joan Elliot. She has outstanding patterns but I know realistically I won't ever do them. I did toss 4 magazines though and I could of gotten about $5 for each of them but hubby didn't want to sell them. But the books are 20 each so I won't toss them. Only sell them for sure. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
Aww Saiyouri :c But you're SO good at cross stitching! This makes me sad that you want to throw everything away..
I do understand however if you have to move. I understand moving around a lot and it's a GREAT time to throw out things you don't use that are just collecting dust. It's completely your choice, but if you don't have to move I would suggest keeping your supplies for another 6 months or so and if you don't get any urges I agree that it would be a good idea to throw them out. |
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ Aww thank you so much Ginger ~~ I will wait until I know what is going on with us moving to make a choice. I do kinda want to hold onto the floss but at the same time I don't because I am afraid that I won't want to do it anymore. I guess I will have more time to spend on other things I can do and haven't in a long time. Like reading and playing the games that I have collecting dust on my shelves haha. ~_~ ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
Floss, as in dental floss? Because I'd keep that stuff just in case for my teeth lol. I LOVE to floss. In fact I think I will go and do that right now.
|
Well I have Salvation Army and some other groups that come around and collect stuff you can schedule pick-ups for, and there is also ebay and listia.com. The latter doesn't get you any real money but you can earn points to purchase other things and it is an easy way to unload some stuff you don't want.
EDIT @Ginger: Saiyouri means embroidery floss. Sometimes known as embroidery thread. And several other names. |
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ We have that here Femme but the hubby doesn't want to have to worry about running somewhere to unload some stuff while we are worrying about moving and all that fun stuff around moving. So we just toss it unless it's expensive. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
That's a shame. I can't bear sending still-usable things to a landfill.
|
I'm like that too. Does that make me a hoarder? >.<
|
No... it means you think about what you throw away. Doesn't mean you have to keep everything, at least for me.
|
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ Hehe I don't think so Echo. I would like to give it away to be honest Femme, but it's hard trying to get him to do anything when we are dealing with stress of moving. Especially since he is to start working around the time we have to move. ; ; So he has to postpone going back to work which they will not like at all. Especially since he's been off work for over 3 months now ; ; ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
That's too bad. I've no hubby to worry about... I have parents, haha.
|
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ Haha they can be just as worse hehe. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
Definitely. But my mom is happy to give things away and avoid throwing them away into the garbage.
|
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ Same with mine. Which is where I got it. But after a few years of arguing with him on this ... I had to give in and accept how things had to be done ~_~ Men.... ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
That's probably why I don't have one yet. I mean not that specifically, but...
|
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☁☂ Hehe it's ok. They can be useful at times lol. And others... You just want to shoot them ~_~ Like me... it's all the time haha. ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± |
Yeah... I don't really have much to say about that.
