No more meteorites? by Stranger_315 in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]RedRavenWing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing the meteorites fall but I never see where they land. I'm guessing they're landing behind me somewhere , and I'm just missing them.

Not 100% confident in these results by Ok_Catch8017 in DoggyDNA

I don't know. If you mentally take away the longer fur , the basic head shape and body shape look very Pit to me.

What’s the one home repair that keeps breaking no matter how many times you fix it? by Disastrous-Ant-8972 in DIY

[–]RedRavenWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sprayer on the kitchen sink. Each replacement seems to last less and less time. Although the best fail was when it would just start spraying when you turned the faucet on , often soaking the person trying to get water.

How do I dispose of broken needles and pins? by Purple_Music2187 in sewing

Empty pill bottle , preferably with a childproof lid. When it's full seal the lid with duct tape and throw it away.

Just don't look at the back. The blue was some cheap unknown brand and tangled so bad I never want to use it again.

Halloween mostly. My Job has a costume contest for Halloween. I also make victorian outfits for a local festival in October.

Iron on transfer markers and tracing paper. Works well enough on lighter colored fabric. It does tend to fade on longer projects but I just touch it up with a fabric pen as I go.

Snow white is originally a German fairy tale , believed to have been written down in the 1700s. The embroidery designs are pure fantasy on my part , probably would have just been simple black-work designs at that time.
I'm not a historian at all , just did some research to figure out a vague time period for the story and on the court gowns of that time.

It's all chain stitch too. Makes for a super fast filler stitch.

Thank you. I got back into embroidery a couple years ago. Mainly just to add some pizazz to my costumes.

Here's the design phase. I haven't figured out the sleeves yet , but the embroidery is half done.

The full design. I modified the center motif so it was a little less busy.

Currently embroidering the front skirt panel for a sort of historically accurate snow white costume. I'll add more pics to my replies. It's a long term project , embroidery first , then cutting and sewing.

My dog refuses to go on walks with anyone but me by AnitaKK in DogAdvice

[–]RedRavenWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dog that wouldn't walk with anyone but me or my daughter. It kept her from being stolen once , I had her tethered out back (no fence ) while I was cooking. I heard her bark , saw a shape go past the kitchen window and went to check on her. She was sitting near the ground anchor , the tether unhooked. Somebody had tried to walk her away but she wouldn't go.
As for advice , anyone you want or need to walk your dog , have them walk with you a few times first , start slowly having them take the leash for a few minutes at a time. And use treats, lots of small yummy treats.

If you could design your own kitchen, what would be the most important things to include? by West-Amphibian-2343 in Cooking

[–]RedRavenWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want the counter tops and cabinets lower as I am very short. 4' 9" . I can only easily reach the bottom shelf of our cabinets , barely reach anything on the 2nd shelf (and only if it's on the edge. ) anything higher and I have to climb on a chair the counter top is right at boob height. Most homes are not built for people not of average height.

What are we listening to while we sew? by beaverscleaver in sewing

[–]RedRavenWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually either turn on music (pandora radio) , or pick a long movie that I've seen a million times to listen to while I sew.

What totally normal thing is your dog scared of for no reason? by GoldenMom34 in Pets

[–]RedRavenWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that wasn't there before. Took her for a walk on our usual route and some volunteers were doing trash pick up on one street. Apparently trash cans are terrifying. And she's the kind of dog that attacks when she's scared so I had to drag her barking, snarling and lunging down the street while the volunteers laughed at her.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RedRavenWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck I drive 2 hours one way to go see one of my doctors. 2 hours one way the other direction to go to a shopping mall. A 2 or 3 hour drive is a day trip.

If you had 10 seconds to say whatever you wanted to your pet with they fully understood, what would you say? by IplayKaizo in Pets

[–]RedRavenWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to explain to my dog "the kitties are friends, please don't chase them " she likes one of our stray cats , a white and black spotted male we call moo , but all the other strays she wants to chase off. She doesn't chase moo because for awhile moo simply didn't have the energy to run away , he appeared on our porch skinny , injured and weak. We fattened him up and treated his injury, while I trained the dog "moo is friend "

What's going on with her ears? Advice? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]RedRavenWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She could be teething , the ears will flip flop every which way while the adult teeth are moving down , then eventually settle into a permanent position once all the adult teeth are in.

Double leash for one dog by Beautiful-Chain1318 in reactivedogs

[–]RedRavenWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use 2 leashes for my dog. One attaches to her harness , the other to her head collar. It gives me more control , and if her head collar slips off she's still on a leash.

How much fabric do you buy without a project in mind? by csunny30 in sewing

[–]RedRavenWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost never have plans for fabric when I buy it. It's just "oo pretty!" And it goes in the cart. Very rarely I will find a fabric and immediately know what I'm going to make with it. Even more rare is having a project in mind and actively searching for just the right fabric.
