My grandmother keeps sending me books on embroidery as if this is the middle ages ~~and that's all a woman is good for~~. I've decided to return the favor by sending her unlabeled chocolate-covered insects. Petty might be my new middle name.

	That is absolutely heinous. I love it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The old bitch deserves it. I'm not bitter or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah definitely not. Do you even embroider? Isn't that with the needles? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't and it is. If I wanted to do that, I'd just use magic. It used to be one of those skills that women were supposed to have to be the perfect little wife. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where does one find those? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-06 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	She goes to Hobbycraft in Glasgow. Though if you're interested... I'll just send you the ones she sent me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	incolumitas 2017-07-06 09:09 pm UTC (link)
	I meant the bugs! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh! Well, that's what the internet is for. I could also get cricket flour which is exactly what it says on the tin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eatsleepplay 2017-07-06 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah I can't sit around and do something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-06 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Oh no, I could spend all day sitting and reading or messing around in my potions room but that sounds like murder on my hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mi mama embroiders herself, sometimes. It keeps her busy, I think, but I do not find it very exciting. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-06 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	Grandmother certainly keeps busy but she doesn't embroider so why should I? Still, if your mother enjoys it, I could certainly send the books your way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	catapulta 2017-07-06 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	If you do not want then, I can give them to her, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I once saw an embroidery sampler that read 'fuck off and leave me alone'. The juxtaposition made me laugh so much that I tried to find out where I could get one! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-06 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	Now that's something I can get behind - if I can do it with magic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I bet it is sometimes therapeutic. Getting stabby with a small metal object and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will say this about my Gran, if she were to send one of those to me and my sister, she would also be sending it to my brothers. That being said, good for you. And if she complains, just let her know that insects are high in protein. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Oh no, my brothers get manly things like cigars and woodcarving bullshit. What if I want to play with knives? I'm the one with a damned pig foetus on my desk. I think I can handle something a little more substantial. /rant (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who wouldn't want to play with knives? Though I now think I've been put off bacon for awhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you have a pig foetus because of its similarity to human musculus-skelature? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
