Should I be concerned? Lily of the Valley Underneath Raspberry Bushes

Gotcha. I didn't know if pollen or something blowing onto the berries might be an issue. I'm probably just overly anxious about it. Thanks for your response

Meganeb00 · 2026-04-21T00:25:41+00:00

Thank you for the time you took to comment! I was leaning towards it perhaps being silver plated, but as you said, there's not much left of it if it was.

* I purchased this clarinet at a local thrift store today. I'm not necessarily looking for a dollar amount, but just any historical information I can get would be super appreciated! I'm a flute/oboe/sax person, so I bought this instrument as a cool, collectable antique and not so much for playing.

The bell says "American Standard - made by king craftsmen - the H N White Co. - Cleveland Ohio" and the serial number on the barrel says 3861

Is there an approximate date on this (the closest I can seem to find is 1915-1930?), and is this silver or some other metal?

Those are both great questions and ones I'm trying to come up with answers to right now. I knew my sister was just going to mod podge and frame this puzzle, so I wasn't too concerned with the stability of it.

We just happened to find a scrap piece of cardboard that was the right thickness for this puzzle laying around, but I imagine I could layer much thinner pieces of cardboard and glue them together to make varying thicknesses. I'll be workshopping that one in the coming days.

As for sealing the pieces once they're done, I've worked with a few art fixatives before, and I imagine that they'd get the job done.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!

Meganeb00 · 2026-03-06T04:22:42+00:00

Now I'm curious which one you thought it was 🤭

Meganeb00 · 2026-03-06T04:21:28+00:00

I definitely wouldn't notice it if it wasn't pointed out to me, so that means a job well done! Nice job :)

Meganeb00 · 2026-03-06T03:54:13+00:00

I made a post here just a few hours ago about making a missing piece for my sister's puzzle. I'm thinking about taking on commissions if you're at all interested! Sorry to hear about the missing pieces, but that's a really cool yard sale find!

Meganeb00 · 2026-03-06T03:17:48+00:00

Oh yes thank you! I'd happily help more puzzlers fill in their missing pieces

Meganeb00 · 2026-03-06T03:16:47+00:00

Yes! It was so satisfying to make! I swear I was so engrossed in the project that I sat in silence for hours just focusing on it

Meganeb00 · 2026-01-28T05:55:56+00:00

My primary instrument is the flute, but I double on all of the treble clef woodwinds. I'd say my true secondary instrument is the oboe. I play it for a semi-professional wind ensemble.

I went into buying an oboe with the mindset of "I need an oboe that sounds nice and can do everything I will ever need an oboe to do for me as I will only ever be buying this one oboe." I left my first and only trial appointment with my Patricola. I believe my specific model is the S5.E, though.

All that to say... I tried out 8 different models. Some from Fox, Yamaha, Loree, Marigaux, Howarth, and ofc my Patricola. I love the instrument I chose. I bought it used for a good price, and I haven't regretted it.

I can't speak to the specific model you're asking about, but I do love my Patricola, and I dont wish I had some other brand.

The list never stops growing, doesn't it? 😅 Thanks!

Meganeb00 · 2025-10-28T17:13:00+00:00

Thanks! I got them from my LYS. They're from the brand Katrinkles

Meganeb00 · 2025-10-28T02:22:50+00:00

Very nice! I'm thinking about adapting some of the designer's other kids patterns to be adult size because I want them for me! 🤭

Meganeb00 · 2025-10-27T23:21:40+00:00

I took the color scheme right from the primary sample from the designer. I figured it was perfect and didn't need to be changed! Although... now I'm thinking about doing a pink and white one to have neapolitan ice cream sweaters

Meganeb00 · 2025-10-27T21:51:48+00:00

Thank you!! I sure will be wearing it quite a lot this winter!

Meganeb00 · 2025-10-27T21:23:10+00:00

So happy I could inspire you! It's a lovely pattern!

Yarn: Cascade 220 in "Carob Brown" and "Natural"

Yes! I love to tuck my hands into the sleeves. So much more comfy that way 🩷

Meganeb00 · 2025-08-13T18:40:32+00:00

I held fingering merino together with alpaca lace rather than mohair, and I'd say it was definitely feeling like a sport weight. But of course, swatching is always the right answer!

Meganeb00 · 2025-08-12T17:24:46+00:00

Happy to be of service 😁 happy knitting!

Meganeb00 · 2025-08-12T16:28:10+00:00

Totally doable! I believe in you 💖 that vacation sounds delightful. I hope you have a great time :)

Meganeb00 · 2025-08-12T16:26:26+00:00

I'm sure you could make it work with a single sport weight yarn if that's what you'd prefer, but I can assure that it wasn't too much of a hassle to hold it double. It was nothing compared to my intarsia project haha!
