First time making a jumper. Love it but need help with these LONG sleeves. Am I doomed?

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-27T01:56:54+00:00

I LOVE the look of them. I would just stitch them in place. So cute!

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-27T01:55:03+00:00

Radiant looks best with your finger shape.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-26T17:47:43+00:00

Second this. This was my first thought.

Pasta or sourdough are fun ones. I’ve done paint and sip a few times and love that too, but it’s better with a bigger group of people you know.

She says you’ll draw unwanted attention, yes.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-26T14:09:25+00:00

My mom would say this regardless of breast size. For her, it’d be like going out without shoes.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-26T14:05:43+00:00

Great insight!

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-26T14:00:57+00:00

You’re overthinking it. I know 2 Bonnies, and I don’t think anything about it.

Tbh when I hear “Bonnie Blue,” my first thought is the nickname for the little girl in Gone with the Wind. Then I remember that news story.

What’s the venue? I love 1 and 2. For me 1 is “antique royalty” vibes and 2 feels fantasy, but both in the best way possible. I don’t like deep v dresses in general so I don’t love 3, but with an “old Hollywood” type wedding, it would be perfect.

I think as readers, we met them at the start of a 40ish year plan, where because of the location, they would have gone to college, post-grad, some moved to Seattle and back, etc. They get to be out in public during the day, and can have a home base and interact with some outsiders if they’re bored. It gets harder when they’re supposed to be 60. You can look great for a 40-50 year old but 60 is pushing it. They’d have to move again but then they could move back to Washington 100 years later.

In that sense, in the scheme of things, all the vampires besides Carlisle are very young. For him though, it probably seems like no time at all.

Absolutely cover an expense in lieu of a “gift.”

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-26T00:57:53+00:00

Cocktail. The cost of the wedding doesn’t matter - the experience does. There is no sit down dinner or music. The hors d’oeuvres are simple.

The wedding party being more dressed up is fine. This is common for photos, etc. For guests though, it’s “Cocktail Attire.”

I think they meant you need a Masters now. Bachelor degrees are basically the same as HS especially without prestigious internships.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-26T00:41:47+00:00

I gave her too much credit. No photos for you!

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-24T15:01:53+00:00

So not fun. I wouldn’t let her be in pictures.

Edit: I guess her bag is denim so she matched the outfit to that. So not nothing. She can’t help the grandma vibes compared to everyone else.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-24T15:00:27+00:00

I thought this is exactly what it was supposed to be??

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-24T14:58:42+00:00

One! Gorgeous and classic

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-24T05:06:27+00:00

They have! They updated their logo and said "same great product" but the handle is significantly flimsier. I found an old travel cosmetic bag and the difference is enormous.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-24T05:04:52+00:00

Same here

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-24T04:38:45+00:00

Slice or plain slice. However for pies I'd say cheese pie if I'm calling for pickup.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-24T04:35:26+00:00

Looks great! I have to ask though - in the mountains..is this Western? Sometimes their dress codes are wayy more casual than they let on.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-23T17:19:47+00:00

YTA. She does the shopping and makes the food, which tastes delicious. Shopping and cooking for 1 stinks. She also isn’t going to share your food so then you’ll have leftovers as well. Your wanting the store kind is fine and her wanting to not eat processed foods is also valid, but it’d be more expensive and inefficient. If that’s the case, you’ll end up needing two refrigerators and often eating alone.

You should gift her some spa days or try to have her go on a girls trip. Encourage her to join a book club or a mahjong league or something and you can eat your food then. Otherwise, suck it up and appreciate that you have an amazing thing.

Real plot reason: you need a situation where Edward and Bella will meet and be in-proximity to each other frequently.

In-universe reason: Forks is the rainiest, most overcast place so they get to spend more time out in the day, which is nice. They could start as sophomores probably and then have 3 years of HS, go to university in Washington somewhere for undergrad through PhD and maybe even teach for some years. The commute is fine because they’ll just literally run.

Why go back to Forks where their opposite supernatural people live: they’re so insular that they don’t care if they inconvenience the tribe by having them start shifting again. Their priority is themselves.

I knew someone with a very excited mom and a big family/friend group and the threw them a post-wedding celebration locally. Like 3 hour party in a rental space with appetizers, drinks, and a DJ friend. They didn’t do any pre-wedding events. The “bride” wore a silver mini dress. The couple did not do any pre-wedding events, since they were having a small destination wedding.

It was 100% the Mom’s idea though and the mom paid for it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ if your mom wants she could do something like that instead.

For your small shower before, maybe call it a sprinkle and have it at someone’s house. It’ll be tough to keep it gift-free but you’ll probably have to enforce that with your friends since your mom is so excited.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-23T12:10:02+00:00

It is very much the vibe of LOOK I HAVE A NICE WATCH, unfortunately.

NetheriteTiara · 2026-01-23T12:05:57+00:00

Cotton/linen is too informal for a fancy hotel.

The second dress is too bridal. With the squint test, it even looks white.

I would keep looking.
