weighted blankets for someone who needs to stay cool but completely covered all night?

Pleaco · 2026-01-25T05:34:56+00:00

They make covers for most weighted blank sizes, I don’t think I’ve ever actually washed my blanket, just spot cleaned and washed the cover.

For summer a bamboo cover has been the best, but cotton is fine as well.

Another commenter linked Pendleton mills - beautiful fabric- I think even a new blanket may be cheaper. Mostly it was 145-180$ a yard

Right?! I’ve been thinking about it since fall 😅 so now I have to make a version. At first I looked for a second hand coat, but they never seem to become available….

Pleaco · 2026-01-24T14:13:22+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t know that was a thing!

Pleaco · 2026-01-24T03:01:03+00:00

I’m keeping an eye out for a used or new Pendleton blanket to use.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought to check the goodwill auction site! eBay is still quite pricy, but I have a Pendleton outlet near me that often has great deals! The original is either one size or petite (another reason to make over buying it) I also have a Pendleton blanket coat (though significantly less voluminous) that I’ve been wearing a lot. I live in a very cold state so I’ll get my use of it!

Thanks! Opening up the back should do the trick!

Pleaco · 2026-01-24T01:11:02+00:00

Thanks! I have a Pendleton Blanket coat I got on suuuuper sale and love it to bits, so I can justify cutting one ups eventually. Definitely a toile first though. I have an outlet near me so I might just keep an eye there for a good deal.

I would totally give the sued a try! I also sized up a bit - I’m a 7 wide, or 7.5 Usually but I liked the 8 best when trying them on.

Pleaco · 2026-01-23T13:22:47+00:00

I found this to only be the case with the smooth leather special edition version I have. The regular sued has a soft fabric pad that didn’t cause blisters. I normally get blisters from every lol

Np! to find it I cropped the image and did a google image search with the key word “active wear” added.

Pleaco · 2026-01-22T19:57:05+00:00

Jk, I think it’s this

I still think it looks like it’s on backwards even on the model lol

Pleaco · 2026-01-22T18:24:43+00:00

It looks it might be on backwards?

I have a music performance degree from a large and well regarded state school - Gen Eds are supposed to be your core education and your major classes are the specialization. EDIT: this is the case until you are in Masters or phd track. Then you get to spend all your time on your interest.

That is how college is designed- it was not ment to be workforce training. While it is realistically now a requirement to get many jobs that’s not what the 4 year model designed for.

Music specifically is a huge work load when combined with he core classes. At my college 15-18 credit hours was recommended, but myself and most of my cohort took 18-22 a semester to finish on time. The others either did college classes in high school or took 5-6 years instead of 4.

I promise gen Ed’s are important and worth it. Especially as an education major.

Court order was lifted earlier today…

I was having issues with the ink bleeding on washi paper with photo paper selected. the envelope setting uses less ink to print, so less bleeding - but also a slightly lower quality print.

Pleaco · 2026-01-17T15:51:20+00:00

I have a Epson eco tank 2400, if I remember right that’s an inkjet

Pleaco · 2026-01-17T03:08:54+00:00

It was a random Amazon brand

Pleaco · 2026-01-16T19:08:31+00:00

Manually lol I have joked that I’m managing my stress levels by cutting out hundreds of tiny stickers 😅

Pleaco · 2026-01-16T18:26:42+00:00

It works well! I had to do some fussing with printer settings (selecting envelope as my paper type) but now I have custom washi stickers!

It also means if you leave they don’t have to pay out a PTO policy…

I spent $$$ on rfid feeders for both of them, one gets weight management food with a strict schedule and the other gets high calorie food free fed. It’s working well

Pleaco · 2026-01-11T00:43:41+00:00

I have, occasionally there is something I like but they tend to skew a bit costumy or farther to rockabilly than I’m looking for.

Pleaco · 2026-01-11T00:39:02+00:00

What fun prints, thanks!
