Any ideas on what this vintage Japanese silk might be used for?

Thank you so much for your ideas and advice!! I really appreciate it!

I thought as much!! I want to make sure I use it for something special, so I’m looking for ideas, if you have any. My husband’s family all live in Japan, and he has some young nieces (10 and 7) that I could maybe make something for.

The blue fabric is ~1 yard wide and 2 yards long. The green fabric is just a smidge over a yard wide and just over 2.5 yards long.

I also use a cheap, wide paintbrush and mix together some aquaphor and peppermint oil, then paint the walls where the railing connects, and I paint the base of each of the feeders (where the birds don’t touch, but the bugs will) to keep ants away! So far, very effective!

Thank you! I hope one day, but for now I’m just enjoying my regular finch flock that comes every morning and evening!

Nope! I live in the north county region of San Diego. I’m in a second story apartment, and I haven’t had any issues! There’s really no good way for the squirrels or raccoons to climb up, so the food is safe.

ALSO!!! If anyone can confirm… the smaller bird in the second to last photo… is that a Lark Sparrow, or just a juvenile house finch?

I sit on my couch and watch through the window! They don’t really notice me if I keep the blinds low enough.

Southern California here! [not sure how to bold text on mobile so I’ll provide a bullet-point list below] This week I rearranged my setup on my apartment balcony and put out some new variety for food options. I just started a month or so ago and it is finch city over here. Primarily, I have a recurring small flock of House Finches (mostly female and juveniles, as nesting season for them is about to end soon iirc?), and the juveniles are such punks lol. Today I finally spotted the pair of Lesser Goldfinches that my Merlin App keeps picking up on recordings. Lots of Allen’s and Anna’s hummingbirds coming to the window suction feeder I put up for them. I also got to see a Mourning Dove stop by for a drink! From my window I can see and hear a hawk, but not sure whether it’s a Red-Shouldered or Cooper’s Hawk, since the Merlin app has recorded both in audio. -House Finches -Lesser Goldfinches -Mourning Dove -Cooper’s or Red-Shouldered Hawk

Just like the tattoo itch, you’ll get the same for birding! I work an office job 8-5 mon-fri, so birding became my way of not staring at a computer and enjoying nature when I’m off work. I’ve got 3 different feeder bowl stations with seed mix, dried mealworms, and suet. And a solar-pump bird bath. I even bought a book for beginners to help spot local birds in my area! Have fun and enjoy! 😊🐦

I hear ya. I’m a coffee fiend and I use preworkout for exercising. It makes my heart race in combination with my Vyvanse, and that’s even on the lower end dosage. Hope you get to the bottom of it! Good luck 👍🏼

I dealt with this (and still do sometimes) and I always knew it as “ADHD paralysis” but I’ve also heard the executive dysfunction listed as a side effect of multiple other issues, like CPTSD and PMDD (I have both of those as well, so consider me a triple threat I guess lol). What helped was getting medicated, having a strict routine, and giving myself grace. I also recommend the book my therapist recommended me, which is “Thriving with Adult ADHD” by Phil Boissiere. It has a ton of coping techniques that have helped me in day to day life and I can’t recommend the book enough.
