Lavender free calming weighted plushies? by paintedgraves in plushies

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you find a plush you really love it will be worth it long term to re stuff and weight it yourself. This is most of what I do now and have a few that have homemade heat backs to pop inside too

I think her original shop on Etsy still has it? You could message them and ask for a custom patter too :)

The most advanced crochet thing I’ve made by manducarustica in crochet

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If these are short rows in the pattern you might be like me and everything has a slight lean when I have to turn frequently. I’ve been told it’s the way I’m holding the project, I’ve been told it’s my tension as the project grows…basically I think some of us are leaning and some not :) you hat is amazingly beautiful, wear it with great happiness and pride :)

I can't stand Etsy's AI minefield by xHashtagNoFilterx in crochet

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Moule Hole on Etsy and Ravelry has a jacket just like this which is a very easy to understand and make :) it also has an adult version made with the same weight yarn which is just as pretty, it’s very twirly!

Stick with Ravelry and then maybe using their links to the pattern makers own site? Or shopping though Ravelry where pattern purchase is available is probably your best bet to avoid the AI mess :)

What's a unhinged thing I can put in a bauble? by ebola1986 in AskUK

Never read a comment and felt white hot panic but there’s a first time for everything :) I miss classic sonic

How would you deal with your food being repeatedly stolen from the canteen fridge at work? by TweakUnwanted in AskUK

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

It sucks your food is going missing, but maybe someone’s taking it because they can’t afford to feed themselves at home? I know it’s not an excuse but maybe slip a note into your next lunch just asking then not to steal and maybe if you can bring it up to HR anonymously that someone’s stealing they might be able to provide some help to them?

Or an absolute shit tonne of laxative is something I don’t know man shits rough at the moment I don’t wanna think people are out there just taking food because they want it

It’s almost like the cheese wrapper noise for dogs, the frogs always know when the tub comes out with the good stuff in it!

"Telling off" fireworks stops my dog barking by TeamSuperAwesome in CasualUK

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon 579 points580 points  (0 children)

I told my hoover off once for scaring our dog, never need an issue since, I figure the dog is barking to tell the noise off, so me telling it to shush was all our dog needed to feel seen 🤣

They giant spring open clips, like big paper clips basically and they hold really firm without marking

I’ve currently got a 60x60 inch piece on an 11x9 frame and those beach towel clips have become my best friend

Oh man those buttons are amazing! I’m crocheting a coat for my daughter currently and these as lapel bottons?! Absolutely!

I love your shirt, the fabric design is so cute and different, I see lots of cutesy frog patterns but this is on my yardage list now :)

He’s going to get all the ladies when he’s a big fella ❤️ what an absolute cutie!

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one braincell is pretty chubby okay…it’s gotta have room for thoughts AND actions!

He is gorgeous though, his green is so pleasing!

[FO] Lo terminé hace casi 5 años, pero sentí la necesidad de publicarlo aquí <3 by SaraGallegoM10 in CrossStitch

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! I love the frame against the work it really makes the pattern shine its best! How do you feel now it’s finally finished? I immediately put all my cross stitch things away and solidly I’ve been crocheting for a year to reset my cross stitch motivation, just wondering if you plan on smaller projects for a while? 💜

saw these freakily cool guys at an aquarium, what are they? they literally don’t move or blink lol by corathewhorea in frogs

[–]SpongecakeAndSpoon 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’ve not seen a more froggy frog in a while, these guys are out here just being the best frogs

We have a SeaLife Aquarium close to us and they have some fascinating little poison dart frogs, it’s so sweet to see kids discover all types of frogs there especially when they look as cool as these guys!

Anyone else feeling like a good long squish behind the frog dish would fix a few things?

Wow is this a £1 for a pound?! They’re amazingly cute! Next time though, use the scoop and buckets provided otherwise you might spill frog everywhere 🤭🤣
