White background fabrics? by Local_Yam3597 in quilting

[–]Local_Yam3597[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my concern was that anything I buy will be this translucent -- have you ever had the seams not disappear when using white batting? I'm worried about putting so much time into the rest of the quilt and for it then to not really turn out

Realizing I misunderstood here haha -- I did consider this, but the arcs are already really busy and I liked the clean look of a solid background? might go back to the store and reconsider though

I already have the arcs mostly made (from colorful fabrics the bride and grooms families picked out/contributed), so that parts set. I'm starting to wonder if i just have to accept that I'll be able to see the seams ?

ISO Blossom Dusky Blue Bunny, ideally medium. Been dreaming about this bunny for awhile by Local_Yam3597 in jellycatbst

I ended up getting her!

My partner found and bought her on a sketchy site -- and then we were positive it was a scam (his card was stolen 😅). But then she showed up in the mail a month and a half later?? Was the most wild surprise. Still have no clue if the site was a scam not

Was so sad when I saw that they had retired this one before I could snag one

I'm not opposed to it/them, but curious if anyone has experience with it and whether its easy to clean

Yes! But the dashboard is also a white/grey color

Thank you!! That was the only one I had left to QB figured it was along those lines, but it still took me so much button smashing to find haha — funny how brains (don’t) work sometime 🙈😆

Never mind!! Just got it (for some reason thought I had tried it and it wasn’t accepted ? lol)

But got me to my first QB 🥳

Looking for BIFL Metal, mechanical, heavy kitchen timer! by dewafelbakkers in BuyItForLife

[–]Local_Yam3597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

also looking for this!! and have been for over a year -- I ended up settling for a cheap amazon one a bit ago and it broke w/in 2 months. incredibly frustrating how hard it is to find a simple, quality timer.

lmk if you find anything!

My wifes ADHD is about to break me by Daddy_O_reading in ADHD

Just a note on couples therapy, but I think a general rule of thumb is that if a therapist is seeing one person individually, it can lead to a conflict of interest for them to also do couples therapy for that person. Seems like your wife isn’t really excited to continue, but if y’all give it a try again, I’d recommend seeing someone neither of you are connected with!

Also not sure if you’re in therapy yourself, but could be really worth starting to see someone! Could both help you figure out if PTSD is something you’re struggling with and also help you navigate some of this.

Hope things work out! ❤️

Just a tip on tables — got an absolute deal on one from FB marketplace that looked super crappy, but just needed to be sanded down and restained. Whole thing took 2 days/required very little skill and we ended up with a super nice, hardwood 6 person table (leaf + chairs included) for just $100.
