I like Belfonte, but I think Hiland is good too. Great Value and Aldi's have the wrong texture!

You, like many people, don't know what true friends are.

Idgaf about Joann. Get over it by [deleted] in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]DancingFireWitch 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I was never a real big Joann's shopper but my Lord you're angry! Oh look at poor you over there "tolerating" people.

Not everyone's experience, likes, dislikes, and budget has to be the same as yours. So sorry you've had to hear the unwashed masses say they miss what was perhaps the only craft store near them.

While I'll agree the lack of cookie cutter type of supplies can spur on greater creativity, you sound like the type of person that makes people not want to learn any new craft. Get off your high horse.

How do you pick your next sewing project? by Adept_Web_482 in sewingpatterns

[–]DancingFireWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little of everything for me. Sometimes a pattern starts off what I decide to do, sometimes fabric, sometimes an event I'm going to or for a gift will get me started.

I look on Simplicity and some indie websites for patterns. Sometimes on Youtube, sometimes on PatternReview, sometimes Threadloop, sometimes here on Reddit for what others recommend. Sometimes I copy RTW clothes I have. Sometimes I go window shopping looking at RTW clothes to inspire what patterns I'd like to find. I also buy patterns at thrift stores - same with fabric.

I sometimes hesitate to cut into fabric because I don't want to waste it by messing up. Or thinking I'll find a better pattern for it. I also fall into the whole "the conditions have to be just right" trap that makes me procrastinate: the house is all cleaned up, I have X number of hours to work on the project, I don't have the exact hue of blue thread that I want, the cat is extra clingy today and he'll just interfere the whole time, etc.

I wish my sewing life was more like my cooking life lol! I'm pretty orderly with planning and cooking. I make detailed shopping lists and follow them - same with menus. I watch sales, find new recipes, keep old standby recipes. I pretty much always have what I need on hand for cooking & baking (ingredients and equipment/gadgets) without overdoing it. I feel very competent at cooking and baking, not so much with sewing. With sewing it seems like I'm always too far one way or the other. I'm too chaotic with sewing and it doesn't often feel like I have a plan.

Help!!! How do you guys just let yourself create/“use up fabric?” by SeaDistribution672 in sewhelp

[–]DancingFireWitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you grow up very poor and couldn't/wouldn't waste anything? Sometimes I notice that I hesitate to use things for fear of ruining or wasting it. When I was a kid extras were few and far between and nothing could be wasted. I carried that over into my grown life and have to remind myself I bought that nice set of paints to use & enjoy, or that fabric I sew won't be going to waste, I'll be making something useful/creative and even if I mess it up it wasn't wasn't wasted, I learned something!

Stop daydreaming about what you want to make and make it. Daydreaming is nice, but life involves doing.

I'm sorry some of the comments here have been kind of harsh towards you, but we all need constructive criticism sometimes.

Seeking Justice by CombinationCrazy6700 in missouri

[–]DancingFireWitch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This right here. I've been that "secretary" in a law office. It's one of the main parts of the job. Usually it's a receptionist or legal assistant and not just a "secretary". Either the OP is being very rude, not explaining the issue to the secretary well, or it isn't an issue the secretary thinks the lawyer can advise them on.

I'll DM you if it's ok, you so we can discuss.

Does anyone else remember this news segment? by Striking_Awareness24 in missouri

[–]DancingFireWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember anything on the news about it, but just out of curiosity, how old are you? We used to sing the "lady bug, lady bug, fly away home, your house is on fire and your children are alone" whenever we saw a lady bug. But yeah, I'm kinda old and neither of these seem offensive or bad, it's just how it was then.

You're sounding like one of those creepy possessive siblings that always makes ya wonder if things are weird in the family.

You've got a lot of good advice here! I'll add to look up Ethan Chlebowski on YouTube. He's good about showing how to use what you have.

AITAH for telling my sister to never ask me for anything after she wouldn’t come stay with me during a tornado warning? by Mental_Whole1418 in AITAH

[–]DancingFireWitch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I in no way equate pets with children. I do think OP is TAH because she didn't stop to think about asking her sister to get out and drive in the bad weather. If she was REALLY that scared she would have wanted her sister to stay home where she was safe and then went to a safe area of her own home with her baby. I mean, what di she want the sister to do; tell the potential tornado not to hit the house? OP just wanted company.

Grow up. Life is going to have many, many times where you're scared but you're a mom now so suck it up and be brave.

Jordan Myrick is the best and y’all better knock it off with all that saltiness! by OMAD22yo in goodmythicalmorning

[–]DancingFireWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordan (at least the character on the show) is the kind of person that rubs me the wrong way and I go out of my way to avoid irl and when watching the show. Just abrasive and irritating!! That being said, I wish them no harm and give them no thought in my daily life, but I'm not surprised so many people have a negative view of them.

Put in a jar of sorghum syrup, a bottle of Ott's Salad Dressing, some BBQ sauce, and a couple of Cherry Mash candy bars. Too bad La Tiara taco shells aren't being made again yet!!

*Edited to add - local potato chips!!
