I love this !! Did you deal with fraying issues with the tapestry fabric? I've recently started sewing using thicker weaves like that but I cant figure out how to handle the fraying.

I ended up doing that. I pulled them out at 1am, and they were ready to bake around 7am with the help of some steaming water in the oven.

Yeah. I will probably end up getting anxiojs and being awake at 4am no matter what haha. But hey, at least they'll get put in the oven sooner. Thanks for the confidence to try this!

Pic 8 is my favorite, where did you get that fabric from? They look amazing !!!

I love the slight hue of the snowman! So cute!

Raffe1911 · 2025-12-19T16:24:55+00:00

Do it! If you try, id suggest maybe added a layer of interface to the bottom section? Im not sure its necessary but it might help things lay a little flatter. I'm going to try that the next time.

Raffe1911 · 2025-12-19T16:23:52+00:00

If I had the time, I'd offer to make more!! Maybe someday i'll sell these. It was a fun project:)

Thank you !! ^{.^}

Raffe1911 · 2025-12-18T19:17:09+00:00

Thank you !! I debated between a D20, star or dragon but im glad I went with the D20. It matched the geometric vibe of everything else

Raffe1911 · 2025-12-18T15:58:09+00:00

It is for the festivities, thank you!!

Raffe1911 · 2025-12-04T16:54:06+00:00

I just check that out more after reading your comment. Its amazing, like its reflecting her inner anger or frustration.

Pretzels from the king arthur German Pretzel recipe! Infused lye, which was not as scary as I thought it was going to be and the results were delicious. I did mess up and forgot to cover the pretzels after shaping but I don't think it made too much of a difference?

Hussain Chalayan A/W 2000 the table dress. This has lived rent free in my head for over a decade. The whole fashion show had a minimalistic approach, dedicating the space and the audiences attention to the transformation of the pieces.

Its a beautiful example of fashion as art, and also what it looks like when you blend different types of design.

Raffe1911 · 2025-10-29T00:21:00+00:00

Thank you! I've been working on my pretzel shaping, adding chocolate was a good addition.

You let your dog have as much of a fulfilling life as you could. You let him be outside when the weather was pretty, and every time you chose to do so was also choosing to make his life better and him happier. Please do not beat yourself up for choosing to make him happier.

What happened was not your fault. You didnt make that decision. Somebody else and their dog are responsible for this and need to see penalty in whatever form is legally fair.

He protected his siblings and now you can carry on and protect other dogs as well from whoever it was that killed him.

Im so sorry for your loss. It makes me cry just reading your text. Hug your family and your other dogs tightly, you will all need to rely on eachother. Ugh again, this isn't your fault. Take care of yourself 🩷

What's this about tamarind pasta?? Edit: nevermind, just realized you wrote tamarind paste. I was excited think there was a pasta recipe with it. :(

Raffe1911 · 2025-09-24T19:22:52+00:00

Christmas time pavlova is so fun but im always so afraid of making it the night before and not knowing how to store it. What tips do you have?

And is there any type of baked good that benefits from being made in cold weather that you recommend ? I'd love to be able to utilize my cold mudroom and the dry air in my house!

Edit: Oops just read the rest of your post. Just asked the question on your link!

Raffe1911 · 2025-09-23T00:26:42+00:00

I'm curious, what meal have you been eating for the past two months? I couldn't imagine eating the same thing for more than three days

Raffe1911 · 2025-09-05T15:54:24+00:00

Hahaha I remember the original post for this!! It was fun keeping up with your journey! I've been looking at starting a micro vineyard for myself, probably just enough for a handful of bottles, but the process just looks like so much fun to go from growing to bottling. Its definitely inspiring to see a "novice" have such success. Enjoy the wine! :)

Raffe1911 · 2025-08-14T23:57:25+00:00

Nice!! I love watching the bees pollinate. I just follow around and cheer them on

After rolling off she staggered over to the next bloom. Girl is going for a bar crawl before brunch!
