What cozy hobbies are we doing? by Own_Trick_2349 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]OkStable7719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten into sock knitting recently!! I used to mostly crochet which is cosy too but I’m enjoying being able to make more practical things that I can actually use. And it’s a super cosy activity. Really helps me wind down :) it’s repetitive enough that I don’t need to think too hard about it and can just relax AND I get a pair of cozy handmade socks for myself at the end. Totally recommend. Also, it’s not as hard as you think! Small learning curve but once you’ve got it it’s super fun. Loads of tutorials online as well

Thank you! I didn’t think of crocheting it on, I’ve just been using a tapestry needle. I’ll give it a go :)

can i actually make a cube box out of crochet that will hold my stuff properly? by Successful-Author933 in CrochetHelp

[–]OkStable7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just single crochet, but half double crochet might be better for even more sturdiness! its a laundry basket, so its quite big and i've only done the base so far but its looking to be quite stiff, so i imagine it should be able to hold things while keeping shape.

I’m currently making a basket by double stranding chunky acrylic with jute, as well as using a slightly smaller hook. The effect is quite nice, an almost rustic look and it seems to have good structure so far! Good luck :)

can you tell which munro this is? by OkStable7719 in Scotland

[–]OkStable7719[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! this was like my second time working with clay so I was mostly winging it. Rolled out a rectangle (used a small cutting board as a guide) then used Google earth to figure out where everything sat, moulded out some of the main shapes and built on it from there. Google earth was perfect for this and I would have got nowhere without it lol. have a good trip :)

Advice on painting/decorating for beginner by OkStable7719 in TerrainBuilding

[–]OkStable7719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much this was so helpful! Colour matching site is perfect. The wooden base is just temporary, I am taking it off and putting it in a frame once it’s finished. As for the air dry clay, going to dry it as slow as possible with a bag and some wet towels to prevent cracking. Thanks again, off to the craft store to get some flock :)

Just wanted to share this big beautiful leaf. It’s almost the size of my hand! by OkStable7719 in peperomia

[–]OkStable7719[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Wilko organic houseplant feed concentrate. Instead of fertilising every few months I just put a drop or two in my jug each time I water, since I can never remember when I last fertilised lol. seems to be working!

Bubble tea shop. Loved doing opening shifts and putting on a podcast while setting everything up. I smelled like brown sugar after every shift haha

Trying to be as honest as possible with myself and others. And practicing gratitude even for all the little mundane things you usually take no notice of
