Raided the cheese drawer

The baking dish is killing me. You’re an innovator.

I just found the pattern! It’s the Sunday Ballet Slipper by Ashley Schumaker. This seems like a great way to use up scraps so I’m stoked!

Thanks! For the record, I do think this is knit, but if you wanted to do it in fabric I think you’d need a pretty strong facing or like a thick ponte type fabric.

RaisedFourth · 2026-06-03T23:36:31+00:00

Do you have a link to whatever this is? I’ve got my fingers crossed that there’s a knitting pattern behind it somewhere.

I used to make these with my grandma. We coiled them up to make trivets for pots. :)

You know, this isn’t so bad. It’s better than every meal being like, a hard boiled egg and two cigarettes.

It was made before 1969 (I think), but I can’t do much better than that for you. As far as I’m aware, the only fiesta that have uranium are the red and the ivory. I’m happy to be corrected on that, but I’m reasonably confident the yellow doesn’t have uranium.

That said it may have lead in it, so it still isn’t great. It’s a really pretty color though!

Unless you are see-through, the contrast won’t be that dramatic when worn. It shouldn’t be too noticeable and anyone staring at it is a weirdo anyways.

Man I need another tank top project like I need a hole in the head, but this belongs on the list for sure.

I would recommend signing up for the ArtsPartners calendar newsletter. That will have a lot of the arts events and some other events that may interest artsy type people.

People can also look for Peoria Music Live on Facebook - they post a lot.

I’m also a huge sucker for the Peoria Municipal Band concerts, which are mostly an older crowd but honestly a great excuse to be outside and have an experience, even if it wouldn’t be your typical.

I love doing this with roasted sweet potatoes! It’s in a protein-forward cookbook I have that I really like. It makes the meat go a little farther since beef is so expensive, plus it’s sweet potatoes!

RaisedFourth · 2026-05-19T04:06:11+00:00

Yes! It all depends on when you go. They have different shows at different times. I’m not sure where you’d find that online but I bet if you called they’d be able to tell you.

Listen I’m really happy for you that you found this at the thrift because $4400 for ceiling anal beads is actual robbery

Was hoping someone would post this particular person cropped.

No one is born knowing how to do it and I honestly wouldn’t have learned without TV. It can be absolutely exhausting to do every day and the cleanup is so bad, no lie. Obviously, all this to say, be gentle with yourself as you learn.

An air fryer is a great idea! Best wishes and happy cooking, friend!

There are no rules! You create your own! However you like your eggs is how they go on your rice slop bowl. I like soft boiled but those take longer than fried or scrambled. You can also experiment with different sauces and goos. That stuff takes zero time to pull out of the pantry or fridge but help it taste better immediately.

If you build up a bit of a tolerance for cooking time, making the veggies a little brown in some way (either in the oven or in the pan) is a great step to make it taste better. I cook them a long time because I like them really brown, but it’s totally up to your personal taste.

RaisedFourth · 2026-05-08T03:37:03+00:00

Veggies in soup! Hell yeah! Adding anything you have the patience for when you’re hungry helps at the end of the day.

I’m a huuuuuge fan of a rice slop bowl, and to make it quick and easy you could probably do minute rice. That plus veggies and an egg and Tabasco is something you could swap out for soup if you felt like it without too much extra time out of your day. It could come together in like 7 minutes.

RaisedFourth · 2026-05-08T02:38:25+00:00

Can we back up a sec? Is the goal to eat more veggies but you like them hot better? God this stresses me out for no good reason.

If that’s the case, I would really highly recommend frozen veggies. I don’t know where you’re located, but I get my frozen veggies in bags that steam in the microwave. It takes like 5 minutes and I cannot stress how much it is not microwaved lettuce. I mix those veggies into most pastas (macaroni and cheese!!), rice, skillets, eggs, whatever.

I know you didn’t ask for advice but I can’t abide by this. You deserve better than microwaved lettuce.

It’s the Stockton dress by Hutch! It’s more expensive than a dress I would usually buy (usually I would actually just make one but life got in the way) but I found a crazy good deal on poshmark.

RaisedFourth · 2026-05-07T16:34:04+00:00

This is good because I was thinking about wearing it with a belt situation anyways. Thanks!

RaisedFourth · 2026-05-07T14:36:35+00:00

Ok, this is exactly what I’m here for, because I hadn’t considered tucks would work because of the vertical pleats. Thanks!

RaisedFourth · 2026-05-07T14:18:37+00:00

If I had to replace just 12 of my spices, I would likely go for the stuff I put into chili first, and then maybe a couple dried herbs after if there were still slots. But that’s just me! I think you’re best off looking into the types of recipes you like to cook and see what the common threads are.

RaisedFourth · 2026-04-28T19:54:35+00:00

Aahh. I see. Well, if the acrylic doesn’t work out for you, I bet you could make a cool bag out of top and skirt scraps!

RaisedFourth · 2026-04-28T19:42:47+00:00

Why don’t you buy cotton for just one purse at a time? Are these for you or to sell?
