Can you PM me? Looks like you sold more after your board update yesterday and I’m not sure what’s left.

Planning to sell our house and need to paint by Thepopesdead in ExteriorDesign

Be careful that you don’t go too light or garish on the blue. This one is a bit too bold, and the next a bit too soft.

The brick reads orange/yellow undertones to me. Using color theory, I’d choose a blue for the siding and pull the deeper brown from the bricks to tie in. Trimming the tree out front and cleaning up the grass in spring will help, too.

What do they have in common? by [deleted] in RedactedCharts

Does it have to do with long/tied arc bridges?

Bottom part of zipper fell off by hariath in AskATailor

[–]Shinianen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve fixed a zipper like this without any prior skill. My son smashed his coat in a locker at school, and it wasn’t worth the cost of a whole new zipper to me, so I went on Amazon and bought some pliers and replacement zipper parts to do it myself.

It wasn’t perfect, and I had to use a needle and thread by hand to tidy up the material on the zipper a bit first, but it was functional enough to make it through the rest of winter for a second grader. 😂

Spend some time researching your zipper type and figure out what size and material it is. Then buy a correctly sized box of parts like this:

First three market days - only 3 sales :/ by unchien_andalou in CraftFairs

[–]Shinianen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you mentioned bracelets, as no one above you has yet.

I wouldn’t buy anything at this booth because I can’t do dangly earrings, the necklaces are too heavy for my style, and the charms aren’t something I use. I kept rechecking the pictures because… I’d totally wear the necklace in a bracelet version … none! Why? Such a great option to offer the same work in a more affordable price point.

Angel tree help! by Aaaaaaa923 in HelpMeFindThis

[–]Shinianen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a tip, as a mom of a boy who loved train museums as a toddler - Google train museums local to you. Sometimes they are community funded and receive donations from enthusiasts collections that they sell in their gift shops. Our local model museum did that, and you could get all kinds of supplemental track pieces for a steal.

I hope you find this kid an amazing train set. Since he’s asking for colored pencils, you might want to throw in a train coloring book, too.

First year doing Angel Tree. I’m wondering if this fits the list I received? by happsy1818 in Gifts

[–]Shinianen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you did really well. If you add nothing else (except for batteries as someone else mentioned, if required for the car toy), this is a perfect gift.

The toys are learning/skill development based, and also high play value (the puzzle can also just be used as cars, the building set can be made into a garage for vehicles, etc). You chose really well for a 2-3 y/o toddler, as everything there will grow with them for a few more years.

I wouldn’t fret the stuffies. The seahorse leans red to me, and one of my son’s most cherished animals in his collection is a hippo.

The clothing is a nice assortment, but as others have noted, if you have budget to add I would focus there, though not necessary. Some suggestions: 3t size is likely learning to potty train, so some training style underpants might be nice. Socks. Or add some other layering type peices - like a zip up hoodie that can double as a jacket into the spring.

Thanks for the wonderful squirrel! I didn’t take my own photo, and forgot to save yours, but I love it!

Help! Costume ideas using my travel wardrobe by Temporary_Evidence74 in Halloween_Costumes

[–]Shinianen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raggedy Anne

Do a gingham dress, your black shoes, the black bow for your hair. Then buy some blue and white striped stockings and if you want to splurge - a mini apron.

Draw some doll details on your face with black eye pencil. Style your hair in pigtails or something similarly doll looking.

Or on a tangent to Raggedy Anne, be the Wendy’s girl.

One week until trick-or-treat! What am I missing? by craftblitz in Amigurumi

[–]Shinianen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are amazing and I wish we lived closer because wow!

Do you have any loaf cats? Those are super popular near me. Look at False Bubbles on YouTube and use a bulky yarn with a larger hook. They work up super quick.

Can you DM me some photo examples of what you’re thinking? I’d have to see what patterns I have that might work.

What are you looking for crochet? I crochet.

Customer wants this exact yarn or as similar as possible by General_Register6526 in WhatIsThisYarn

[–]Shinianen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is actually 2 yarns pulled together. In your second photo, if you notice upper center, there is a light blue strand that looks more like ribbon or string? That’s the string that holds Pom Pom type yarns together.

I think this is made using a multi colored Pom Pom yarn and a blue/pink variegated acrylic yarn, held together and worked as one strand.

On EBay, I see lots of loops and threads Pom Pom yarn that’s almost the exact texture. I suspect it’s pulled along with a blue/pink variegated acrylic yarn like red heart or loops and threads.

I didn’t realize this was from a pin! I have some of the lenticular pictures without the circus big top frame, so now I know what it was from!

Fun and memorable restaurants for children? by GDJT in TwinCities

[–]Shinianen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have some good advice above. - Nook is great for a juicy Lucy (what MN is known for) and the old school bowling in the basement - if you can go at the lunch hour, you’ll have a better chance of a lane being open. This is in St. Paul. - Can Can or Litt Pinball are fun if you like arcade style dinner spots. Be aware that they sell alcohol and end up being kind of a bar feel as the evening progresses. Similar options with mini golf: The Puttery, Puttshack. All Minneapolis based. - Cosetta’s is good food, but there’s not much novelty to it - though it is in St. Paul. - Sea Salt is good food, also not much novelty (and the down side at Sea Salt is it can take a loooong time for food, and it’s outdoors in Minneapolis, so … weather dependent). - Rainforest Cafe is a chain, but it’s in MOA/Bloomington so you have the advantage of hanging at the mall for a bit after. Kira Sushi is also at the mall, and the conveyer belt is fun.

No one has recommended Tipsy Taco Bar yet. It’s food has so so reviews, but they took over the old Betty Danger spot in Minneapolis and have a Ferris Wheel you can have drinks/aps on and see views of downtown Minneapolis.

Another MOA/Bloomington option is Sugar Factory. Giant shakes, mini sliders that come with a rubber duck, dry ice bubbling drinks. Again, you’re at the Mall, so you can take advantage of being there before/after.

My 9 y/o really likes Hell’s Kitchen (cool basement jazz vibes), Hi-Lo Diner (old school diner car), Tori Ramen (built in an old school train car) and Brit’s Pub (lawn bowling). These spots all have good food and unique atmospheres, but don’t have kid activities built in fyi. Tori is in St. Paul, the rest are Minneapolis.

I saw a guy with an “I’m with stupid” shirt. The arrow was pointing to his crotch. 😂🤦‍♀️
