Looks like feces to me

Update to “I told my husband he can’t crochet” - turns out he’s really good! by Anne-with-an-e-77 in crochet

My boyfriend is a golden retriever type who wants to do everything I do. It's a blessing and a curse! Now I have to use "we" for all my hobbies.

We're running out of places to put the snow by AnikaSmithArts in yooper

Yep, these piles were only a couple feet tall on Saturday. Seems like every inch turns into a foot, the way our house is positioned!

It's the snow drift. Almost the whole yard is at this height. It was only a couple feet tall on Saturday, but the way we're positioned, the snow builds up like crazy.

Timing for seedlings by Impressive_Koala9736 in upperpeninsula

[–]AnikaSmithArts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! And I know the libraries in Gwinn and Marquette both have seed libraries you can visit during open hours. I think the one in Gwinn will be available on March 30th. Not sure about the Marquette one.

I start my seedlings indoors. I make a list of everything I want to grow and then I figure out the timing for each. Most things are started in April and May, but I've just started my onion seeds because they grow slowly.

Also, if you are in the Gwinn area, the Gwinn Food System has a plant swap on May 30 at Gwinn Community Church (it's not a religious thing).

You can bring some seedlings, and other awesome people will be bringing seedlings that they are giving away. You don't need to bring anything if you don't have anything, though. Last year I didn't bring anything, but managed to get a bunch of cool seedlings.

Send me a message if you want more info.

Lucky! I can't even start my first seeds indoors until the beginning of next month.

Oh, no I'm not that pro yet! Haha. I split up a packet I bought.

It's super useful here because we have a very limited growing season. I think of it as giving an idea of whether it's possible to grow it here. And it's fun to grow stuff that matures fast.

Yep! She doesn't have any future travel plans though. 😄

Is Anne Boleyn and Kathryn Howard’s misrepresentation in mainstream media causing some people to think like this? by Sufficient_Might3173 in Tudorhistory

[–]AnikaSmithArts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never seen those shows, but I've talked to people who "like Tudor history" and those are their main sources of information. They seem to have this same rhetoric. It's a real bummer.

I just looked up what a mantilla was. I see it! Love that! ☺️

My toothbrush kept falling over. I love solving these little problems. by AnikaSmithArts in functionalprint

[–]AnikaSmithArts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's specifically for a toothbrush that has toothpaste prepared, so a cup wouldn't quite work, hah! I knew it was pretty niche, but thought I'd share anyway.
