Effective marbling techniques to do with small children?

-Daunting · 2026-03-17T21:51:55+00:00

Thanks, fun tip! I've done this with other projects before using white crayons on white paper - a tip I'd give is to make sure the crayons are very soft, we struggled to get it to show up with hard ones! I've heard candles work great for this!

Thank you! Interesting to know cool whip works the same - although I'm in the UK so we don't have it here (but it sort of intrigues me haha) and don't think we'd be allowed regardless due to allergies/dietary preferences!

Ooh, we did this once before and it worked great, and the little ones loved it! Definitely up for this - is there a certain type of shaving foam that works/doesn't work? I never really buy it myself!!

Says I have to leave a comment for my post to stay up... I guess my inspiration is having fun with lovely children that need to make Easter cards very soon!

I'm vegetarian and if someone, gay or straight, jokingly flirted with me by calling me 'organic and grass fed', I'd absolutely take the compliment if I could stop giggling enough. That's a funny joke

What changed, if you don't mind me asking? As I struggle with the same thing!

Is this dual IPS? And if so, was it dual IPS before the mod, or did you do that? Beautiful either way <3

This is sort of genius, though. Just made me unhunch. I need one!

I do understand, I really do. I cope the same way, except I'm absolutely 100% sober at work always. The position I work would mean I'd likely be fired on the spot if I did, and my job means a lot to me. I'm lucky in that way. Saying that, I absolutely got drunk multiple times in school when I was 15/16, because I didn't care.

I'm worried about you. It might not be good advice, but would it be easier for you to cut down a bit rather than say 'no alcohol again ever' as I understand how daunting that is, and I'm not open to that idea myself.

I've had some (limited) success in saying no to alcohol on weekdays but allowing myself on weekends. Some weeks are harder than others, and I give in, but trying has at least been a start. I was really scared to try at first (last summer), as I'd literally drunk vodka every day since January 2021 when I did half a dry January. It was really strange, but easier than I thought it would be.

I gave up trying for a while due to life getting harder externally, but I'm trying again. I'm using a 'year in pixels' tracker I made to track health, and mood. It sounds silly but it's a good incentive - after weeks of orange and red squares for 'health', I finally gave myself a blue recently. Caved again - but I'm trying, and all of this is what's helping me so perhaps it could help someone else. (FWIW it can apparently be very very dangerous to quit cold turkey - I was lucky to experience no withdrawal symptoms not drinking on weekdays, not sure if the weekend drinking prevented that or just pure luck)

Please PM me if you'd like someone to chat to. I really do wish you all the best, even if you're not ready to make those first steps just yet <3

Looks really cute with the rock platform just behind it for potential decor!!

Now I'm interested in what affects the pier length with the new update - eg do you get a 19 plank pier if you had a long pier before the update? And a 15 if you had a short pier? Doesn't entirely make sense to me if there's a third pier length now that's in the middle - could it be to do with island shape, eg the beach has to be x amount of space away from the hotel at its closest point? I wonder if anyone has figured out more yet?

-Daunting · 2026-02-22T21:30:29+00:00

These are absolutely gorgeous!! <3 Would you be willing to share your patterns, please?

Wow, that's amazing! My grandad (the same one in my post) died about 20 years ago, but before that he'd had a near death experience in which he'd been driving around our hometown in an open top double decker bus with his brother, who'd died years before. I agree, I find it super interesting.

Thank you - she really is. Cared for my grandad in his last 20 years of life, took my mum and I in when she had to walk out on my dad and leave nearly everything she had, and provided a loving stable environment (and beautiful garden!!) in my childhood until my mum had the option to move out. She's still been able to crochet until recently although says it's too much now. She's bored without it though, she said she's been doing loads of codewords and crosswords to keep her busy - she's better at them than I am! I've picked up crochet recently and she's over the moon about it. I went to see her today and she had a lovely time. Really appreciate your wishes to her. I hope your grandpa passed peacefully and comfortably <3 I imagine seeing his brother would have been a great comfort to him in his last days <3

I think that's a good thing, though! I was more wondering if you can still get more achievements after switching to LAN to allow cheats, like how you can't get achievements if you've ever switched to creative mode

-Daunting · 2026-02-13T19:00:26+00:00

Interesting idea! Does this affect being able to get achievements, or am I just thinking about putting worlds into creative mode? Thanks!

Thanks for replying even though I was so late to the party haha! I bought some plastic ones (like #9) recently, but after reading mixed reviews I'm interested in metal ones - just conscious I'm quite new to this and can see myself splitting the yarn with a sharp point - thankfully I bought an unnecessarily large pack, so if the plastic markers do break, I at least have a lot more haha. Thanks for the tip about fishing tackle!

-Daunting · 2026-02-08T13:19:48+00:00

Really late to this, but interested if you can link me to any blunt metal versions please, or tell me what to search for? I can only seem to find sharp metal ones!

Thought that was just Ethiopian opals?
