Damies, I agree with Den here. Critique sure can help you become better in your arts and crafts, but there's also line between being constructive and just trying to bring everything down, and she sounds more like the latter. If you value her friendship otherwise, I'd suggest to talk about your concerns, because some people actually don't mean to be jerks and simply don't realize when they're acting obnoxious. Yet if you're feeling more of an "enough is enough, lady!" vibe, then it won't get better just by tolerating her behaviour a little longer.

@Dena & Death:

I often find myself thinking I'd be better with not having her as a friend but she is also a friend of my mom's in that mom thinks of her as another daughter. But she stresses me out more often than not.

Her doing the art thing would have been fine if it were just "I'm not really into this style" vs "I don't like all the blobs and weird shape and..." she basically doens't like the style that's all there is to it and instead of saying that she had to rip the art apart as to why it was not good in her opinion.

She can be excessively rude without realizing it it seems. At least I hope she is unaware of it and not a stone cold bitch for reals.

when my hand's healed up, I'm gonna look into getting a Kevlar or chainmaille glove, so I can try again to carve tools for my SCA persona.

I made cherry blossom scented lotion today 8D

I wish I had had kevlar cloves the one time I stabbed myself with a wood carving tool right into my palm....

I sliced my middle finger on my left hand pretty bad. I had to go to the ER to get it patched up since it didn't wanna stop bleeding on its own.

Turtles!! *O* I wanna make a plush turtle now. Time to find patterns. ;w;

Pattern links I may use one but I'll post lots of cute ones I find

So cute!
If I had better sewing skills, I would totally attempt to make one.

Buuut....will definitely do a turtle for this month anyway. I just have to double check my smaller loom gauges and whatnot.

Aww Squirtle hoodie. >w<

I probly won't get to making any plushies til I get back from my trip a week from Monday. ;w;

I like that one with a secret pajama pocket.

And I probably shouldn't even mention how much time I spent browsing through spoonflower fabrics. They have some amazing designs over there o.O

I'm taking the spoonflower turtle in undies image printing it out and useing it for a pattern

Then the pocket one I'm making it smaller and slight alters for a money purse



First I need my dominant hand middle finger to heel before I can even do anything
