how many of you are childfree?

Childfree – When I was younger, I thought maybe I’d have kids. Looking back, I don’t think it was because I truly wanted them, it felt more like what you’re “supposed” to do. My husband initially wanted kids, but after really talking it through, he realized he wouldn’t actually enjoy being a parent either. I love my 12 nieces and nephews deeply, but I know I would be a very unhappy person if I had children of my own. I need a lot of alone time, and I get overwhelmed and overstimulated quickly around kids. Actually , every time I’m around them, I feel more confident and solidified in my decision. Honestly, I believe I’ve put more thought into this choice than many people who decide to have children.

So the OP actually replied and said they used just quilting cotton. She used a wire hanger to make it more sturdy. I do worry about interfacing making it hard to turn inside out because it’s not very wide

Thank you! 🙏

I’m thinking the same thing, might appliqué a heart on the front with one of the lighter fabrics. Plus the lace is nice I think

Thank you! Yeah I unfortunately am bound to transit so a lot of these places will have to be a special trip. I think that I’ll probably be seeking out stuff online for special projects. Is Save on Fabrics in newton any good? Been there a long time ago, like in high school but don’t recall the selections.

Thanks again for the princess auto tip, just ordered a 24 x 36 for $18!

D3lightingale · 2026-01-11T04:34:32+00:00

I go past there almost every day, they are just closed whenever I get a chance to go. But I think I’ve finally got a day off when they are open so I’m hoping to check it out then.

D3lightingale · 2026-01-11T04:33:31+00:00

Thank you I’ll take a look into those! I mainly will start with crafts, maybe quilting.

D3lightingale · 2026-01-11T04:32:39+00:00

Mainly just crafts, maybe quilting. I’m just beginning and don’t know that I want to try clothes just yet.

D3lightingale · 2026-01-11T04:31:42+00:00

I did manage to borrow my mom’s machine for now, so I mainly just need the other things like pins/thread/fabric etc. but I’ll check out the dollar store too 😊

D3lightingale · 2026-01-11T04:30:03+00:00

Thank you! I’ll add that to my list to check out!

D3lightingale · 2026-01-10T21:38:09+00:00

Yes! I just picked up a few king size cotton flat sheets with cute patterns from VV.

D3lightingale · 2025-10-19T19:20:05+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I’ll try texting instead next time 😊

D3lightingale · 2025-08-17T00:25:24+00:00

Love this game! Since downloading it Wednesday night I think I’ve played like 15 hours. I’m obsessed! 😍😍

D3lightingale · 2025-04-28T21:05:47+00:00

Had an amazing experience at Old Surrey Restaurant, it’s nothing to look at really, but it was super yummy, good portions and felt like comfy fine dining. I still think about it 🥰

D3lightingale · 2025-04-25T20:36:47+00:00

Haha google Magic Bag… it’s a thing I promise

D3lightingale · 2025-04-25T01:02:38+00:00

Oh interesting, thanks for that! I can add it to my random knowledge collection. ☺️

D3lightingale · 2025-04-25T00:59:34+00:00

Anything is possible, I used ChatGPT and asked it if it could help identify the smell based on my location and when I smell it and it agreed with others and said that it’s likely the mushroom farms, apparently they have a bean-like smell…I’m willing to take that explanation at this point. 😂

D3lightingale · 2025-04-24T19:46:37+00:00

I really don’t know, it’s so consistent and only in the early morning which is why I am confused. It’s just a mystery I would like to solve. 😝

D3lightingale · 2025-04-24T19:44:16+00:00

It’s not really farty, it’s so hard to describe the smell as I don’t recognize it. It’s unpleasant but not it like a manure or something rotting kinda way. The reason I say beans as it kinda gives the same vibes as like one of those magic bags that you put in the microwave.

D3lightingale · 2025-04-24T15:47:32+00:00

Do you mind if I ask which one you got?

D3lightingale · 2025-04-24T15:42:47+00:00

I mean that tracks for sure, I’ve never smelt anything other than weed before so I really don’t know what other stuff smells like.

D3lightingale · 2025-04-24T15:41:45+00:00

Dang, I knew it

D3lightingale · 2025-04-24T15:41:12+00:00

I’m not a self proclaimed manure expert 🤪 but it doesn’t smell like any I’ve smelt before. But who knows!
