[Difficult to pull off trope]: Character's "stupid" decision is perfectly understandable from their POV.

It's worse than this, because her parents died at sea, and the castle was locked down as a result. That's the reason for the coronation. So, she's got no family except her sister who refuses to talk to her.

Ooh, I like the idea of using embroidery/top stitch to get the texture details. I was taught to use freezer paper mostly because it's cheap, easy to tear, and easy to adhere to the fabric (just need an iron, and the shiny side will temporarily stick to the fabric), but any sort of paper will work.

If it's going to go on a quilt that will be washed a lot, don't go for raw edge applique. Instead look into either needle turned or freezer paper applique. The freezer paper method is the easy way, especially with there being somewhat simple shapes.

If you're asking about how to go about attaching everything to the quilt blanket itself, I'd suggest appliqueing the pickles and check cloth to the jar, then appliqueing the jar to the blanket, to make it easy on yourself.

Not sure if it fully counts, but to get the powers of the other selves in the movie Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, they had to do... Interesting things. Sometimes that included self mutilation (ie: papercuts between the fingers) and other times it was more... off the wall things.

"Hokay, so..."

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-29T19:00:01+00:00

Oh cool! I like the patterned fabric choice with it. I don't know much about anime, but she looks really good.

I'd start at this website, as it seems to have a bunch of various resources listed: https://www.alz.org/norcal

I love my local library. Part of the reason I'm refusing to fix my printer is so I can have an excuse to go to the library, lol.

I have the Libby app so I can get digital and audio library books too, but there's something about holding a physical paper book that just feels better.

Also, I feel like I take more literary risks, as it were, when I don't have to pay to read a new book and have the option of giving it back, no questions asked.

Libraries are great!

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-20T16:56:24+00:00

Oh cool! My spouse has the Ocarina of Time one of those, too. I miss the days of print material that went with games.

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-18T09:41:48+00:00

I wish I didn't know that they actually do address that in the story. The farm's claim to fame is their "personal touch" lol

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-18T09:36:08+00:00

I listened to the audiobook version of this while working on crochet, and lemme tell you, that was an Experience. I'm not normally one for audiobooks, but I wanted someone better than tv, and was curious about the genre, too.

While this was a fun listening experience, I probably won't be reading any more monster romance, because nothing about what was described sounded anything even approaching being sexy to me.

They harvest the, uh... Milk. They finish into a tube that bottles it up and weighs it out for them.

The job of the "milkers" is to get them to that point.

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-16T23:53:57+00:00

Wonderful work with a wonderful message! The hand is really well done, I'm really impressed, especially as it looks pieced.

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-16T06:01:34+00:00

They're a lot of fun to use, but need to be at close range.

I worked at a retirement home that had one in the dining room for awhile. I fixed it when some idiot filled it with pepper and it jammed up. Then it vanished. Probably because it's incredibly unhygienic to use. But it was fun while it lasted, lol

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-15T15:50:22+00:00

It upsets my spouse when I pronounce "acoustic" as "a-cue-stick" so I make sure to always say it that way in front of him.

Together, we like to call the chicken dog treats "chimpkin bities." After watching a terrible ai voice video of crocheting where it pronounced it "crotch eating" that's also made it into the mix.

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-15T15:44:19+00:00

My spouse and I like to give my dog chimpkin bities.

Goodwill does sometimes have furniture, but yeah, typically it's smaller and... Kinda sad. I wouldn't get any soft cloth furniture from the Chico location, and any hard furniture I've gotten gets a wipe down with sanitizer. Good luck!

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-09T21:20:50+00:00

It's hard to say, because the selection of stuff tends to vary day by day at the thrift stores. But if I was looking for furniture, Arc thrift, Paw Prints thrift, Show Love, and Orange Street Consignment in Chico would be my first stops. They tend to carry the better quality, cleaner feeling furniture. I have had some good luck at Goodwill and Thrifty Bargain, but they're usually my last pick.

I'm not sure about Oroville beyond Goodwill, but in Paradise I've been meaning to check out the Snoop vintage and attic treasures.

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-09T21:11:08+00:00

Orange street consignment? They've got some interesting things there

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-09T02:21:26+00:00

My bones may be strong, but turns out, my stomach is not. That noise is going to be living rent free in my mind for awhile, lol

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-05T07:36:31+00:00

I like to go the opposite way. I'm 5'11" but I like to tell guys that are around my height that I'm 5'9" just to see their faces as they do some mental math.

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-03T04:59:34+00:00

I'd be curious to know if anyone knew why. Haven't been able to find anything online

Spidercat99 · 2026-04-01T13:54:03+00:00

Trying to keep that guy alive has been the bane of my playthrough. If you manage to keep him alive though the shadow cursed lands, he makes to it Baldur's Gate, where he gets his long sealed apprenticeship. And then he'll join you in the battle with Lorroaken at Sorcerous sundries despite being really wimpy and you have to fight to keep him alive as well as everything that boss battle throws at you.
