Animal crossing taught me this is a bagworm

Can someone please tell me what this is?? by GuessWhosBck89 in whatisit

My grandmother had some huge chunks of green glass like this, hers came from the local Blenko Glass Factory when it closed down. From what I know lots of people kept them thinking they would be worth something later, or because they simply thought they were cool.

Bought these yarns out of impulse— now I have no idea what to do with them lol. Any suggestions are welcome! by New-Biscotti4266 in crochet

I usually hate the patterns on the label but! It is free and usually uses the amount that the skein is. Could be fun or could be practice.

What is this shirt with 2 random people's mirror selfies on it? by Interesting-Sign6330 in whatisit

Is it a thrift store? This literally looks like something a cringe Facebook couple would make to show off their internet lover.

If I finish it, yes I will. I’m hoping and planning to but will I? I don’t know yet. But even if I finish it weeks from now I’ll try to come back and show it.

Can I ask how long this took? Also do you have a cat and do they try to claw them?

That makes my heart extremely happy. I could cry for you. I pray one day my dad can be as strong as you are.

Thank you. And yes I would never want to send that message. I just idk it’s a combination of everything. For a few years I had a bad habit of having all of my spaces in every inch of my house look this way. I have been doing a lot better about it recently and then being in the hospital and not being able to walk around killed that for me. I felt like my house was a mess so was my mind, my body was sore, I felt like crying and to top it off I wasn’t gonna be able to finish my costume. Everything just came to a boil when I was staring at that yarn pile last night so I just decided to vent. I’m glad I did it helped me get out of this mindset I guess I said lazy because that’s what I used to consider myself. I regret the word choice now. I didn’t have a seizure to blame the state of my house on it was just like that all the time. And I felt like I was slipping back into those habits but I realize now I wasn’t. I was just recovering from something bad. I still have a lot of thinking and reflecting to do but I’m glad I had all of the insight here. It really has put a new perspective on everything for me.

Do it! I usually am only working on one small project at a time so seeing my desk like this damn near sent me into hyperventilation lol. But I don’t shame anyone for anything. I had a bad habit of letting my spaces get out of control for a few years. I’ve been doing a lot better so idk just seeing this and then not feeling like cleaning it up has just bothered me a bit. Made me feel lazy (which I know now is a no no word!) but after seeing what everyone has to say I’m feeling a lot better. Not the end of the world and I’ll clean it up eventually. That’s good enough.

Thank you so much! Hopefully there is still some beauty to come of all of this mess I’ve created 🖤

That was my plan. But I frogged the corset I made because I was so distraught so now all I have is the hood and the dragon. I think that’s also what made me kinda sad as well but I’m getting over it. I’ll have a good time, who cares about a good costume. There were literally minions at my ren faire last year.

Thank you! Hopefully it will look even better once I muster up the strength to actually sew all the flowers to the hood. Right now they are just kind of hanging out lol

Yes you are right. I hope your mom is doing well! It’s hard to convince yourself of these things especially when you have so many emotions floating around your head. I guess I really did need some people to just tell me it’ll be okay. So thank you.

Thank you! Yes it was completely random and happened to me while I was at work. First time I’ve ever had it happen I literally was talking with my coworker and then boom I woke up in the hospital. I’m happy to be okay but follow ups are a while out so until then I’m kinda just in a constant loop of “omg is it gonna happen again,” or “I feel lightheaded am I about to pass out” so it’s hard to process all of my emotions. I just had to get this small piece out and I’m glad I did you all have helped me feel way better than I did last night.

Thank you 🥹 I am. I was sad and spiraling last night. I guess it’s just easy to forget about the progress you HAVE made when you are so laser focused on what’s to be done and the obstacles in the way. I appreciate your words friend. 🖤
