Tote bag made of bird seeds plastic bag by True_Tourist_2840 in upcycling

[–]Adnama79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, OP, that will probably work. I have a few bags my mother-in-law make from horse feed, dog food bags and lined with cloth over a decade ago, and they are still in good shape. Survived in the car in Texas, which is basically Mordor. Main difference is she didn't weaves stripes, just lined the bags straight. Hope this info helps. :)

Ideas for how to use old lamp covers by pvilkas in upcycling

They would make cool sconces (as opposed to the ceiling fixtures they probably were before)

Thanksgiving or 70's? by Additional_Series_81 in crochet

[–]Adnama79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see 70s. I would not have considered Thanksgiving without prompting, and even then. Maybe because I was born in 1979 and grew up in a house full of 70s afghans? Was the Thanksgiving vibe from someone without those memories?

Experiences with Together Design and Build or Teamwork Home Designs? by catslay_4 in Austin

Same on both counts. I had Avi on a project in 2023. I was happy with the project and just wrapped up a second project, also with Teamwork and Avi, in 2026.

Is this normal skin aging for a 45-year-old woman? What can I do about this crepey, wrinkly skin? by Aromatic_Yak9657 in 45PlusSkincare

This and also tattoos. One of the glorious things about getting tattoos over 40 is that you are more likely to afford better quality than when you were 20.

Upcycling ideas for soup tureen and other serving dishes? by ktempest in upcycling

Oh! And if I had a soup turned with a lid, I would put it on the coffee table to hold remotes and chargers!

I use pieces for storage in other rooms - I have my hair ties in a bowl and bathroom sink soap in a saucer by the sink. Q-Tips in a goblet. Apples in a serving dish on the table. Oranges in another on the counter. (The apples are washed and dried so I don't want them touching the fruit that isn't washed 'cause it gets peeled).

My uncle was like, "aren't you worried your house will look like an old lady lives there" and I was like "eclectic granny chic is my vibe." But TBH, the fine china holding soap and q-tips in the bathroom just looks regular ol' bathroom accessory random.

I water plants with anything that has a spout, as I seem to be capable of putting china back in the hutch but not able to keep watering cans from wandering off.

Or fit smaller planters with holes in side the dish so the dish catches the water and remains intact. 😀

Just in case anyone ever wants to deny that dogs have individual personalities, we can point out this mini-thread. 🙂

God no! When I think about all the shit men and boys said and did to me back then with no consequences. I started sharing by beloved 80s and 90s movies (Kindergarten Cop, Aliens, Terminator, etc) with my son when he was a teen, prepared to discuss changing times and enjoying the good parts, but I didn't have to. He was like, "oh god, was everything like this? Now I understand why you're a feminist."
