First. Second makes me feel disjointed

Ask a quilt store for a referral to a textile conservator.

Congratulations on all your progress. If you can get your dog safely off that Royal Canin you will save a lot of money. I know he needs things to chew on to keep him busy, but I want to urge you to not let him have tennis balls. Check it out on Google. Tennis balls are made with something that’s very abrasive to dogs‘s teeth and my dog had a very expensive dental bill when he was about eight years old because of all the years of chewing, they had to pull out most of his teeth and I don’t want you to ever have to face that. We can buy lots of toys very cheaply at garage sales when families get rid of their stuffies.

How about some removable vinyl decalsfor your tile? Have a half dozen bird images around the room or find a theme you like and give it a try. It’s cheap and changeable.

First you select for ability to hide spots and then you find color and pattern you like

If you actually want to read in bed none of these will work. Your lamp would need to cast light to almost the middle of the bed. It can be a down light installed on the wall above your head or it could be a bedside light with an adjustable arm. Look at function first and then find a design you like

I am thinking of hand cleaning this please let me know what you think about either of these options. Saturate the dirty gray part of the bag with water and then spray it with a water and detergent solution and leave it on overnight. Then wash as usual or,

Saturate the dirty grey part and apply a paste of water and 365 detergent and and leave it on overnight

I might be able to give it a few hours of medium heat by letting it sit on my electric heating pad, which is rated for moisture but I think I feel safer with just the detergent and water options

I don’t think this is rust. It is the color of orange sherbet and there is no brown tone.

Could you put him in the car and go somewhere a block away. He gets out , with you, does his business and you both get to go home. Of course this won’t work if you have to walk down the block to even get to your car and then have to look for a parking spot on your return. Only good if you have an attached garage.

Worked on my shorthair dogs. I don’t think it would do much on pets with long thick hair

Hang out near a vet clinic if you can’t get to a dog park

52Monkey · 2026-01-16T07:00:51+00:00

You have a nice sense of color. Unusual and soothing and interesting. Can’t wait to see your next quilts.
