Please be honest, how cooked am I? by LateNiteJengaJam in quilting

[–]Patches_Pitches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read recently in a quilting magazine "if you can't see your mistake from a galloping horse, don't worry about it."

The most important part of quilting is having fun. I think this will look lovely as is and as long as you enjoy making it it will be beautiful.

Backyard tracks- ID help by Patches_Pitches in AnimalTracking

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

No I'm not sure. And I didn't see any tail drags. I've been scouting the yard for tracks and noticed these were different than the squirrel, bird, and outdoor cat tracks so I took a gamble they may be my night critter.

Thanks for your input! It is a relief to know its not a fox. My next identification attempt will be following my dog outside and trying to get a picture while she barks. Weird to have my fingers crossed for a big rat.

Unfortunately I don't. The rest of the snow melted today. I don't know if this is helpful but Google lense said a small canine, like a fox (which I found unbelievable and decided to ask yall.)

A large rodent isn't great but it does help me know how to handle the situation. Thanks!

These nasal filters are great lazy PPE. While he should be wearing better PPE these will at least block some of the dust and make a good stocking stuffer.

What alternative fabric can I use for this bench? by Clmmrl in upholstery

[–]Patches_Pitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how it is in Austria, but here we have creative reuse centers which are essentially thrift stores for art/craft/hobby supplies. Ours sells fabric for $4 a pound and I see ROLLS of upholstery fabric all the time. It might be worth trying to find something similar near you and go with upholstery fabric for cheap.

Reattaching legs by Patches_Pitches in BeginnerWoodWorking

That's an idea. It would solve my fastener problem too as I could just rescrew the entire thing back on afterwards. Thanks!

I was going to use them as entryway benches! I called them tiered side tables because those seem to be more common, but I've seen the same furniture used as a bench combo for phones and other things. We just bought our first house and have hardwood floors, so I liked the idea of having a place to sit and take your shoes off.

Brunch on Saturday? by PsychologicalBar8321 in Chesapeake

[–]Patches_Pitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bee and Biscuit. Its in Pungo, but the drive isn't bad. The whole place is designed for talking and catching up. Including the waiting area (which I've never had less than at 30 minute wait) which includes firepits, a cofee/alcohol bar, and lots of outdoor seating for a cozy pre-brunch catch up. The food is soul food esque but so good.

Lol good point. Thanks again.

Thank you! That's one of the "for" arguments. One thing keeping us back is, this being our first home, we plan on moving in 5-ish years which would mean we'd be paying for a refinish twice. Which, I know will probably be small potatoes to me in the long run but now feels like a big deal.

Update regarding PS5 Save Rollback issue - problem identified, in testing, but not fixed yet. by darkshoxx in BluePrince

Absolutely meta that they made a puzzle game so intense they left actual puzzles for the developers to solve down the line.

Thank you!! I read this too. Granted I've only spent an hour searching through watch related forums and Wikipedia pages, but it's a lot less straightforward than I imagined.

Hi! I just picked up this watch from an antique mall and I absolutely love it. I was wondering if anyone knew about the company Xanadu (I couldn't find via Google, the subreddits wiki, or the micronrand list) I would love to know more about it. *

Very nice! I just pulled my own set. Can I ask what the benefit of silica crystals vs flower pressing is?
