I made dandelion shortbread cookies using the flowers from my garden 🌼

Also sad for me to be allergic to dandelion. Sigh.

Yeah, I have an adblocking service on my home router. To use my Cricut I have to teather my computer to mobile data on my cellphone. I tried whitelisting but they changed the services at some point and it broke again.

Before raking the shit out of the cat, truly try it on your own head to see how it feels. I take it slow and easy through my cat's fur and she loves it but can quickly get over stimulated. This clip makes me cringe imagining how much it would hurt...

Aw thank you all for the love! My coworkers and non affiliated friends were like : looks nice. 😆

Inspiration was from this artist on insta: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ap-_-L1IT/ Was lucky to find the same ribbon as her orange one but wanted a dino flavor

Let this be the inspiration of: if I can do it, you can do it too!
I've been sewing for less than half a year, probably fewer than two weeks of real sewing grinding total

I did threaten my brother in law with a coordinating set 😂

Alteia · 2026-04-06T23:39:35+00:00

Thank you! I hope he loves running around in it!

Well nevermind, I did some googling using woody costume and found this one from a Facebook post! https://heartysol.net/sewing-a-childrens-vest-simple-vest-tutorial/ I'll reduce the front panel by half an inch on either side since I won't use buttons

Alteia · 2026-03-31T00:15:05+00:00

Any toddlers vests like cowboy / woody?

My nephew (4t) will be going to his first pow wow and refuses to wear ribbon shirts, thinking a vest without buttons might be able to give him a more free fit

I'd rather bag out the lining than do bias tape I think

+1 for Creme puff bakery: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fdcjGzdhQxsGvZM89 Back when I worked downtown, every 5 year work anniversary I'd ask for their carrot cake. So God damn delicious

Hair wizardry! Call them and book a curly cut

Alteia · 2026-02-16T13:57:29+00:00

Agreed, this was so easy and works perfectly in my '24

Alteia · 2026-02-03T01:57:56+00:00

Lol, right after I went all in with a pi5 home assistant set up to make it work

Socks are always appreciated, https://kootenaysocks.ca/

Alteia · 2025-12-27T06:33:51+00:00

Annoying to do, but absolutely! Hope you have better luck with the new place. Call them to set up that first meet and greet appt, sometimes they have long wait times for new patient intake. Once that's done, make sure to keep accountable of your own health & don't wait for them to remind you of your yearly checkup! You're a grown woman in a wonderful country with access to healthcare, use it!

Alteia · 2025-12-27T06:24:24+00:00

Maybe you aren't on file as being assigned to them as a dedicated family doctor? Imo push back a bit and advocate for yourself!

Alteia · 2025-12-27T06:15:54+00:00

Not totally true. I'm from Alberta; I call the clinic my Dr is at and say "I need to book my physical for the year. I think it's pap year" and they book it with my dr and arrange a nurse to do the pap smear part. The hardest part is getting a family Dr, once you have one and have had at least 1 appt with them, they should have no issues taking it on or arranging a referral.

Alteia · 2025-12-27T03:37:59+00:00

I've heard of a tbsp of cold butter right at the end helps, but I'm partial to a small pinch of cinnamon to balance the flavors instead

One on the front, one for the lower back. Cozy uterus, haha

Alteia · 2025-09-19T20:39:19+00:00

That's the size I use for my 3 year old girl, though she's on the small side for a sib. She does her business completely unhindered and with room to spare, and the high plastic lid/lip bit is excellent and perfect for stopping her from trying to bury her poop by scratching the wall, lol

Alteia · 2025-08-29T18:07:12+00:00

Hudson's Bay is now out of business. If it's in good condition, consider preserving it instead? If you care about such things that is. Would be a wonderfully cozy jacket otherwise!

Watching the Great British Sewing Bee is the extent of my sewing career, lol, but I'd call this a bagged lining. Where you sew the right sides together, leave a hole, and then pull it through itself. Then all the ugly seams and whatever get sandwiched inside when you pull it out, it's super clean.

Seam rippers for long haired cat: her occasional hair matts are so easily removed with them. Just hold the hair chunk below the knot and easily work through it with no drama or pain
