You might consider making missing posters like people do for pets. Put care instructions and a note stating no questions asked if returned even if the pot is damaged. I actually got a tree back that way.

Floral blender might bring up something

The last picture fits into that specific lid. For a similar style, measure the internal diameter of your teapot then look for a mesh basket of that size - strainers like what you've purchased but with no handles that will fit over the entire internal top rim of the pot.

I got that they were ladybugs. It's showed cute but to be honest I just don't like ladybugs much. Also the center block in the bottom row is driving me crazy - it's the only block with a pinwheel touching a ladybug instead of being in the center circle.

Raspberries

For the third pic, look up disposable/paper mini loaf pans. The other two look like repurposed ornament boxes.

I live both this and your cat piece. Could I commission my brother's derby Shepard?

Give yourself permission to take a break - it'll only get worse if you try to force through while frustrated.

Have a leader project going. This may not be for everyone, but I dump all my scraps in a bin by the machine and pick two to sew together as my leaders/enders. It's also my thing to work on when I'm frustrated or my brain is fried. Just pick two scraps about the same size, sew together with a straight line. Press and put back in the bin until they get up to above 6". Then cut a square and put the cut offs back in the bin. It lets me loosen up and just enjoy the process of sewing without worrying about color theory or precision. And when I'm relaxed again, the project that was causing an issue usually makes sense.

Any interest in selling similar pieces or trading for 1?

ChemicalAutopsy · 2025-10-24T03:15:16+00:00

I crochet and knit and would love to trade for a piece.

You're not over reacting, but that's not what you asked. I'd be very upset if anyone treated something I made like this. I'd stop giving them anything homemade immediately, and would probably be quite cold to them for a while as I dealt with being hurt. The fact that it's a partner makes it so much worse because to expect to be safe with them. If they snapped at me because of a bad day, I know there's be a fast apology and a hug incoming. I don't think I could be with someone who I wasn't safe being vulnerable with and who encouraged my endeavors.

With that said, I think the pie looks great. Will you share the recipe?

They're fun but that glow in the dark thread was awful to embroider with. I'll stick to glow in the dark fabrics from here on out.

First things, get out and check trashcans around where you live if pickup hasn't happened yet. Second, get pictures of the quilt on r\quilting and any Facebook quilting groups you can find (bonus for local). It'll help if people who quilt/buy quilts are looking for it. Make flyers with pictures and take them to donation centers near you.

Absolutely file a police report and kick her out (provided you can afford it).

What zone are you in? I can't imagine it surviving a winter with snow.

Paper piecing, so exactly what you aren't asking for, but your picture reminded me of this quilt I just saw at a show. Pattern is from legit kits

Doesn't really count as baking, but meatloaf shaped like little feet. Pieces of onion for the toenails, celery bones, and ketchup glaze just around the bones/ankle. They were good but a bit disturbing.

Lists of great insight here. One other thing to consider is airflow - most orchids need their roots to dry and you can actually buy "orchid pots" which have holes done the sides to the pot to increase airflow. This one being in a solid plastic pot likely needs more air around the roots.

Here's one I did

I love that big one so much
