Hi everyone! First off thank you all for sharing your amazing work here. I’ve been popping in here for a few weeks now and I’m happy to say you’re all the reason today I’ve got my first kit. I’d tried cross-stitching (very basic stuff though) as a kid but now I can feel the calling is strong. I’m very excited to...
This is all great advice! I will add a second vote for taking care of your hands (and ergonomics in general). I don’t have wrist issues, but I have an old shoulder injury that flairs up if I don’t take breaks, mind my posture, and stretch.
Aw, that’s a cute idea to stitch the doodle! To answer your question about apps, I’ve used the stitch fiddle website to make simple patterns with a few colors and backstitching. Floss cross is another site you could check out. I think the pixel art app you used might be similar to them since it has a similar grid.
My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we’ll seek out a fruit or vegetable we’ve never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?
Ah… Sadly no. That’s why is my low stakes resolution. :) I work from home and I’ve gotten very lazy. I just roll from my bedroom to the office, down to the kitchen, and repeat.
Santa (aka my credit card) brought me an instant pot for Christmas. Do you have pressure and times for the potatoes? I didn’t even think of cooking them in there and then mashing.
So excited to start! Need tips

Anyone get any good cooking presents?
Anyone get anything good for the holidays? Cooking ingredients, equipment, books, etc?...
What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?
For me, crepes ain’t worth the stress to make fresh. Just buy a little pack from store and focus on filling is my go to.
