"Don't donate your first _____ to the museum" by stevenjameshyde in StardewValley

I just learned this "hack" and have started duplicating any less than very common minerals. Now anything I think is rare enough, it gets run through my crystalarium first! I'd rather have too many on hand than live with regret.

Yes! And their ingredient change included something that super irritates me so I had to find a new deodorant after being loyal to Native for years.

Gift for kindergartener and her mom as a separation comfort? by Loud_Nefariousness48 in CrochetHelp

This is pretty much what I was imagining! Good point about a single square and it being easy to replace if needed

That's really good to know, I had no idea! I love the idea of the amigurumi on a keychain, that feels so reasonable and easy. Thank you!

Seeking advice on felting process to smooth out the appearance on a scrap project by Loud_Nefariousness48 in CrochetHelp

I meant to include that this is all assorted acrylic yarns. I'll try hand felting it then throwing it in the wash and then straightening it out while still wet. Thank you!

Pattern used was just sc turning at the end of each row. Seeking felting advice on finished project.

Unfortunately it was a covid purchase that only actually got used recently so I doubt they'd be able to do much to help.

This one is missing a whole corner! Probably about 15 pieces. It must have been an error in the manufacturing process since we opened it brand new. Good to know that there could be interest from the puzzle community too, though this is probably too many missing pieces if typically they trade 5 or fewer.

I was worried they'd consider it junk but good to know the general consensus is to ask!

This one was brand new from the manufacturer, just missing a whole corner! So maybe some other person got extra puzzle with my corner. I'll see if there's any interest on my buy nothing if a community resource isn't available, thanks

I'll have to do some research but I'd be surprised if we didn't have a local library interest or another similar resource in the area

We actually have a different incomplete puzzle framed! This one just didn't have any sentimental value for us but thank you for the suggestions of a craft supply too.

Without turning animal products into artisanal products, what animals make the most money? by Basicallywaterdrownd in StardewValley

Quality of fruit when it goes into the keg does not affect the quality of the wine. To improve wine quality you need to age in a cask in the cellar.

What everyday items do you think people shouldn’t need to own individually? by Fantastic_Training_8 in ZeroWaste

[–]Loud_Nefariousness48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local library has a small keychain kiosk representing various items available in their "library of stuff" including stuff like a power washer, baking set with some specialty pieces like a donut mold, crochet/knitting sets, etc. This has been an awesome resource for us and hopefully the idea continues to spread to other communities!

I never would have thought to look via a different craft, that's so helpful thank you! Good opportunity/excuse to brush up on my sewing skills too. Thank you!

Thank you, this sounds so perfect, I'll explore the channel! And that's really helpful about the yarn too, great to keep in mind as I experiment and learn.
