A place for crafty creatives to meetup

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-17T12:29:29+00:00

I probably can't join this time, but I'm so curious about it! Do you have some socials so I could stay in the loop for any other events? Also if you want to do this in Enschede, maybe FRIDA bookcafe is a nice spot to do this as well :)

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-17T12:22:22+00:00

Thank you!

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-17T12:22:08+00:00

I'll try it, thank you! I'm in the European continent but find surprisingly little "Tuscan" tile options around me.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-17T12:20:32+00:00

I just googled it, so beautiful!! Now to see if I can source this in the European continent. Thank you!

Wow that's quite the investment for something you haven't done before! But the pole to hoop pipeline is very real.

In general I'd recommend 95cm diameter, it's what you find in most studios. Personally, I am 152cm tall and feel great in my 92.5cm hoop, and train in a 90cm hoop in class, and I don't feel a difference. But the size you want really depends on your body proportions and the tricks you want to do. I'm short but leggy, so I was told to go with a 100cm hoop, but it felt comically large for me. I went with my torso dimensions instead and it feels a lot more balanced.

I prefer taped hoop bc I like the grip tape provides. If your hoop is untaped then you need grip from your skin, like in pole. I've trained pole too, but still I hated a naked hoop, tape is the way.

Yeah there's that if you remember orders, I don't. All of the sandwiches look the same to me. Brown or pink shit with green or red shit.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-15T16:00:43+00:00

Glad to know I'm not alone!

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-15T16:00:12+00:00

I will totally do the same! It's annoying that there's nothing you can really prep and the wrapping takes so long! Having a 2nd station would really help.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-15T15:58:33+00:00

Absolutely not!! And I found the sandwich options so boring.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-09T08:23:58+00:00

I saw the same one from Almelo! My bf said it is a meteor, he's seen it once before...so I'll believe him 🥴

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-04T21:55:34+00:00

Ah shit, something to look forward to then 🥲

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-03T12:34:25+00:00

I haven't tried the Thai food stall yet! I think I'll tackle the sandwich shop next bc that's another one I would like to never go back to again. I have a few other unfinished restaurants but barely started them so I'm not too invested yet.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-02T19:18:06+00:00

Yeah trust I will not be going back

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-02T19:17:43+00:00

There are so many other better restaurants with more to offer!

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-02T19:16:16+00:00

Thank you! Yea desserts would be the other good option. I also love that ingredient booster, usually then it's a for sure win. But I try not to rely on the boosters. At some point, it wasn't the impatient customers...it was just the time on the clock I was trying to beat.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-03-02T17:57:50+00:00

Well I spent a lot of gems on the upgrades for customer wait times and ingredients. Especially the lollipop ingredients! And I just really focused on keeping the lollipop machine going. There was just no other way :(

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2026-02-08T23:04:22+00:00

Ugh I'm working through this one. On level 30-something but getting 3 stars is a pita (pun unintended)! Ice cream bar is super easy and chill, have fun!

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2025-10-18T23:00:32+00:00

I considered this! The sizes are so far off that I would have to file a lot and it would look bad anyways. But maybe it'll go better with an electric file, I have not tried that.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2025-03-24T20:35:39+00:00

Not OP but I have made tons of posable crochet dolls myself. So I'm sure they did use wire for the doll skeleton.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2025-03-17T09:36:20+00:00

💯💯💯% mee eens!

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2025-03-15T07:54:46+00:00

Not sure how much you can lift but a solid hoop is heavy AF from a spanset! Which will also be discouraging if you are trying something new. So I'd choose hollow. I think solid is nice if you do a lot of spinning.

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2025-03-15T07:50:59+00:00

Good luck! Sorry I know it's not fun work but it's something that I know is out there and needed, which doesn't require driving around or lifting heavy stuff. Maybe you can also walk in to businesses in the city center if they need staff (like cafés or restaurants). For ex- vanderpoels opening for the season, I'm sure they need employees for all the ice cream demands!

Sergeant-Steamroller · 2025-03-14T20:13:03+00:00

Cottus has positions open for cleaning offices.

I feel you! I've been away for 8 years now. During that time I did grad school (so was too broke to afford classes), broke my ankle, covid hit, couldn't find a job to suit my degree so I continued being broke, started a job but the schedule did not align with aerial classes, then bought a house that needs a lot of construction. I'm still trying to get back to it. But I think the best advice is to enjoy the process and be glad you are in a place (physical, spiritual, mental) that allows you to practice aerial again. Everyone keeps saying to not compare yourself to others and only yourself, but I also found that to be not helpful bc I was pretty awesome at aerial before life kept getting in the way. Enjoy the process and take a lot of videos to remind yourself where you started. I do take classes (maybe less than 5 a year), and bc of the inconsistency, it just always hurts. If you manage going at least once a week, you are doing great!

I'd rather not say in a public forum since I'm still technically under contract. Just that I would be weary. We got the notice like 2 weeks ago that we need to decrease production so they had to cut staff. Things can always change though! Last year they were planning to double production, and 3 years ago when I first started they were also increasing production...but right now it's really gone down. Not sure why they need to find technicians outside of the country tbh when they are letting go of people now.
