I have been informed that using packing tape to somewhat “laminate” labels on my attempts to reorganize my #EmbroideryFloss #Stash is too noisy at the current hour… Therefore I have been relegated to #CrossStitch for the moment instead… Wow. Twist my arm there… 😉

I’ve been there, however, I use packing tape to laminate shipping labels in a large, mostly empty public work room…the echoes are amazing.

@verity_kindle I can imagine! Husband is trying 2 sleep in & we live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, so I don’t have any other rooms 2 go in & close a door 2 keep noise down. It’s a bit frustrating because I *really* want 2 get it all finished before the weekend so I can design or stitch. But…if it was me, I wouldn’t be as nice as 2 simply say, “Why don’t you work on #CrossStitch for awhile?” instead of having 2 apologize later for sounding like a combo of Yosemite Sam & the Tasmanian Devil…

There’s also loud profanity when the tape comes off the dispenser edge and sticks to itself.

Tape their mouths shut, then they can’t complain about the noise
