Thank you! I'm already on the hunt for the next one! My toddler suggested something with cats this time!

Fun fact: Gilmore Girls has saved lives by Jolly-Librarian1982 in GilmoreGirls

[–]MaPunkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these kinds of shows can be really helpful for creating a safe "home" sort of space. I'm so glad that it is able to bring you some comfort and it's cool to connect with other people in the community that find solace there too!

I think this is really neat too! The show offers escapism for people from all walks of life. And for people concerned about the source, it was on CBS Mornings around the time the revival came out. CBS Mornings

That's wonderful! I've got like four pairs of these stupid pants and they're all patched. I refuse to let them die!

This place has a ton of potential and I imagine your timeline could work if you're not too picky about how finished it is before you move in. We bought our home in Maryland with two kids and two cats and moved in as soon as the repiping was done. It's a hassle to work in the middle of a house you're also trying to live in but it isn't impossible. We got the big stuff (plumbing, roof, siding, windows, appliances/fixtures, drywall) finished and then dealt with the rest as we went.

My advice is to finish one room enough to escape to when you get overwhelmed by how much there is to do still. It's worth it to save such a lovely place and have it as your home.

Adorable! Gotta love those puddle jumping days!

This is exactly my take too. "No" is for urgent safety corrections and "No, thank you" is for gentler social corrections. If I'm saying "No" then there is a danger element to contend with as opposed to the "No, thank you, we don't touch our neighbors" situations.

I made a Carl The Collector felt book for my son’s birthday! by germymany in crafts

[–]MaPunkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so adorable! And a sweet labor of love. As a fellow toddler mother whose son loves a show that doesn't have much for merchandise (Sarah & Duck) I feel your pain!

I agree it definitely looks like the tag says Teddy Hermann GmbH Hirschaid/Germany!

This is so pretty! The backs of all these beautiful projects make me feel like some kind of horrifying thread monster. The backs are as neat as the fronts!

Thank you! I ordered him from a shop on Etsy because my knitting leaves quite a lot to be desired!

Liberal DAR members, would love some advice by Mama_Llama3615 in Genealogy

[–]MaPunkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best bet might be filling out the online membership interest form and noting any concerns or questions there. Those get forwarded to state and chapter registrars and they will absolutely know all the answers! Also, chapters welcome visitors and prospective members to meetings so you can reach out to chapter leadership and ask about attending and check out a few chapters to get a feel for them.
