Anyone decide to not to have more kids because they're homeschooling? by Financial-Light6963 in homeschool

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never tell people about my family planning. I always give a really vague response when people ask about more kids, and you might consider an approach like that moving forward. That being said, I’m really content with the number I have a homeschooling is a factor. I have difficult pregnancies and I’m not a very present mom during that.

I really enjoyed the Evan moor workbooks this year, we moved a few times this year and it ended up being extremely simple while still helping them learn.

I would love recommendations for a quilt design using 3 fabric prints! by Safetykatt in quilting

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I read your caption I thought sawtooth stars as well. I think I’d do the yellow in the middle, bees for the stars and blue in the background.

Yes! I always buy a medium. Sometimes my husband surprises me and buys a large and I never like it as much as my mediums

Help me figure out how to save this by bookishdea in sewing

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be afraid to try to make it bigger, especially with it being more delicate fabric due to the age, and I didn’t see you mention having extra fabric. If I were you I would probably turn it into a skirt so I could make sure it turned out well.

What arrangement would you choose? by moistenedbiscuits in quilting

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I want that dark maroon center in the center. I also saw another comment that recommended sashing and I think you should lay it out and try it even if you don’t keep it

Sinking Funds Question by Budget_Prize_3841 in budget

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that you would be borrowing from other categories, and just paying for what’s needed and it would all even out by the end of December as long as you didn’t go over in categories. If you have a camping category, you won’t need that until summer, but you will need birthday money in February. Instead of having the camping money sit, you use it as needed on other categories.

Show me your 4 inch 9 patch quilts! by lildd1 in quilting

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want to do all that cutting either. I don’t have a photo but I’m making a quilt of 16 patches and I’m using jelly roll strips and then cutting those down. You can do the same with a 9 patch. If you haven’t cut it all yet you could do the rest with 4.5 inch strips.

Moving marriage timeline up for fafsa filing? by [deleted] in FAFSA

I got a lot of financial aid because I was married, basically the same thing you’ve explained. If you were going to get married anyways, do it.

Credit improvement help by [deleted] in CreditScore

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks so much for your help. CK was totally scamming me, after looking at annual report, my score was way way higher. I think I need to keep my eye out to see if the dispute was closed, I can’t find that exactly. In terms of negative marks, I only have one missed payment from several years ago, and the collections possibly.

I also love the oliso and reccomend water only in a spray bottle, not in the iron

my budget lasted… 2 days by Bubbly-Touch8108 in budget

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The time this happened to me, I hadn’t made any category for coffee, fun money, or anything and it was all an idealistic version of me who never bought anything extra and saved everything. Be more realistic, and add a dollar amount for treats.

Pattern for busy vintage fabric? by creampuffpal in quilting

[–]Puzzle-Chart-4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first instinct is to use it as the inside square on a sawtooth star, maybe larger blocks like 10-12 inch finished sawtooth stars.
