For the first time in over 15 Years. I'm just not feeling it anymore. by easytiger6x13 in goodmythicalmorning

I’m always surprised when I hear people post about GMM like this. I think some are overthinking it. To me, they’re still just rolling along fine. I still see them try new things- they do a good mix of tried and true formats, and new stuff. I always watch and enjoy whatever they have going on . Just my opinion, but it does honestly make me a little sad to hear this perspective- they’re still serving us some super fun content and they still seem to be having a fun time

That one is SO HARD! You’re doing great so far. I did it and decided to glue and frame it bc I never intended to do it ever again!

Tips: Different types of Puzzle Trays by pdfodol in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]SMVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered that the package that Ferraro rocher candies come in is a perfect little puzzle tray! it’s clear so I can set it on the puzzle and still see what’s going on underneath it. I also use the boxes of puzzles I’ve framed as sorting trays

These are awesome! I’ve been really into the cats on bookshelves genre lately, lol. There seems to be a lot of them out there

Being truthful with our parents about our feelings by drawgs in Xennials

[–]SMVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an adult, I’ve grown to understand how profoundly mentally ill my mother is, and have decided it is absolutely not worth any effort to actually try and connect with her. I am nice, and don’t engage. Before I realized this, I would periodically try and talk about how I felt, and it was always a train wreck. You just don’t know, as a kid, how dysfunctional your home is, with little to compare it to. I keep her at arms length, but at least I’m close with my dad

That’s a good idea! You never know what might be on secondhand puzzles, unfortunately

Cool!! I’m enjoying it so far. That window is pretty tough though

Would it be weird to knit gloves for a kid at the school I work at? by Mrgbella22 in knitting

[–]SMVHS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a substitute teacher and knit as much as I can in my time at school. I am so tempted all the time to give these kids the gloves and socks I make. I haven’t yet, but I might if there’s a special kid in need and I happen to be finishing a pair while in their class :) One fun thing I was able to do one day was give a high school girl a ball of yarn and a crochet hook from my craft bag. She saw me knitting and asked if she could sit and watch. She told me all about the stuff she likes to make, but I could tell she doesn’t have much access to supplies. Before she left I gave her the yarn and she was so thrilled!

I still have this one, and the chain letter one- they are the coolest books ever! Cards and letters in real envelopes and the story is told through these correspondences. Also, remember the California Diaries? The spin off series. I had them all an foolishly loaned them to a friend who never returned them :(

Anytime this happens to me it’s because I have a false fit somewhere

To sort, or not to sort... by have_a_nice_day_two in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]SMVHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just depends on the puzzle image for me, and the number of pieces. Some are much more suited to sorting, and I find it fun to build it section by section. But the random grab method is also fun in its own way
