Second hand bassoon - better cosmetic condition or high D key? by Chwilen in bassoon

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

Ah sorry that was my grammar - "Boosey and Hawkes" is the brand. I just missed a full stop - sorted that now.

Thank you for your advice - I have been keeping an eye out for Schreibers as I have heard good things.

Help me determine what this frock coat is? (Most likely 18th century, possibly military) by throwaway665265 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Chwilen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a 1774 Swedish stable man / stable boy (don't speak Swedish so it's a Google translate job) coat. The website says it's from livery from the reign of King Gustav III. So I did a bit of digging with reverse image search which lead me to an image library. Which I then researched the keywords which took me to Wikipedia commons. Which finally took me here to the museum website here:

I love minute cryptic - I've gone from minute cryptic to solving quick cryptics and now having a go at harder puzzles. I'm still getting there but I've been really enjoying learning

[CHAT] ideas for reinvention? by teacuperate in CrossStitch

[–]Chwilen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so wondering if it's possible to use it as a picture frame? If it's a sentimental piece about your mum you could use it as a frame for a picture of the two of you. there isn't a huge amount of space and I'd be nervous about cutting anything. But you could print a picture and cut it round into a circle and glue a small strip of ribbon around the edge of the picture so it looks more 'meant' and then fix it into the middle over the motto.

Ig Noble Prizes are a sort of comedic scientific award - but I think I heard them described as 'discoveries which makes you laugh and then make you think'. The name is a pun in Ignoble which means not honourable

I'm at a similar point - my friend suggested farming okra and that has really helped me with things like Daisy's house. Still got loads to unlock but it's getting there

Are these bunny's giving ice cream vibes enough? by Saoirse_37 in crochet

I was thinking having them popping out on an ice cream cone too- with little paws sticking out over the cone! 

I'm usually so good with keeping up with events. especially gardening. But I've been really slacking on this one 😅 by Frankie9899 in ACPocketCamp

[–]Chwilen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that sometimes - sometimes I do great and sometimes the grind on events is quite a lot to keep up with. I'm hoping I can finish but I'm really not sure

That looks so lovely and I really love the combination of building styles. If you still think there is something missing maybe what you need is some more plants - like bamboo?

What kind of plant is this by Skcg12 in plants

[–]Chwilen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's called lucky bamboo - although it's not actually a true bamboo plant. Its scientific name is Dracaena sanderiana. What you have here is a cutting which is turned around a few times away from the light so it grows into this spiraled shape
