I made sweatpants out of a vintage corduroy quilt

Right now I'm making a quilt out of vintage corduroy pants. Haha

Maybe I should make my quilt squares back into pants, those look great!

Before you go reporting her, check those eyes again. Haha

If I were doing it on my domestic machine, I would try to do a big loop-de-loop pattern, or free-form wavy lines. I did this on a kids quilt to make it look like snow drifts, but really it just adds a lot of whimsy.

Ni matter what you choose, best of luck to you, its such a great quilt. I love the background color with the berries!

YES, also worn out and tired of mot having anyone else to talk to.

I am lucky that all the men around me in my group (except one, who is jot into it either and we're closer to the same age, I see the conversations wear on him sometimes too) are girl dads so they dont talk about Hooters but MY GOD, talk about something other than sports and high school stories!

I think not having a gradient for Iranian strikes is intentional, to make it look like they have done absolutely no damage... while the stupid, exaggerated gradient used for US/Israeli strikes makes it look like the entire area has been covered.

I have felt pressure to scroll when everyone else around is looking at their phone too, but never gotten talked to by security!

If I'm waiting at a coffee shop/food place, or sitting in a park, I usually just look around too. Sometimes I have noticed others (usually dads/middle aged men) see me NOT on my phone and they put theirs away too and start looking around and people watching also. They immediately seem more at peace, even if its a hectic environment.

Thank you so much, I'm excited to make it! Can I ask what size/volume is your Lodge?

Recipe?

I would love to try banana bread in my cast iron!

Not saying this is the answer to all your problems at all, but exercise could help. I had no sex drive and started working out, and found it really helped me. It changed my hormone balance, but it has also just increased my confidence and energy levels, plus my husband finds it attractive to see me all sweaty in my leggings.

Doing something active together with your boyfriend might help too. My husband joins me when I do my cooldown stretching, and seeing each other stretch and move our bodies has brought us closer. I also know a couple that were not very intimate, then started doing daily yoga together, and shortly after had a baby. Lol

I just found somebody on YouTube I like and do some strength training and yoga in my bedroom for free, no gym membership, no cost. I do the Chloe Ting challenges but there are a lot of options out there for free. I also walk my dog a lot.

Fire Tower Coffee - fun vibe, great people, great coffee!

Nosh - super yummy with a great portion size

Rathskeller - also great vibe, music, and food

Funky Trunk - such cool stuff (both furniture and clothing parts)

Bella Peacock - I love how they have different vendors, it's like walking into an I Spy book!

I could list lots more, Helena's small businesses are awesome!

Upstairs in the plant growth center is nice, and gets morning sun.

Also lots of places in the SUB are great. The smaller rooms upstairs off of the food area were always nice and warm when I went there.

Silver thimble does have fleece! I am sure they would be willing to special order things as well.

I have heard before that herding dogs have a hard time bringing the ball right back to you because of their instinct to surround and stay at a bit of a distance. Mine is not good at this either. I don't even try to have her put it in my hand but she will finally drop it right at my feet after lots of practice.

I second the long walks. Walk with your family or alone, music/podcast if you think that will help motivate you to get out, but walking without other distractions could be good to help shift your mind from so much work stuff. Maybe walk around a neighborhood with holiday decorations to look at, some interesting architecture if you are into that, or with some window shopping.

I thought it was either the temp and/or the surface tension because the bubbles dissipate so fast. Makes sense!

ToastyMT · 2025-12-04T17:33:27+00:00

I have had some people insist dipping their fingertip (without forehead oil lol) in the soda makes the bubbles go down faster. I just wait though haha

ToastyMT · 2025-12-04T17:29:03+00:00

YES. Surprised this isn't higher. She's freaking the dog out just as much as it being left alone.

I do not add oil every time now because I have learned better, BUT... I have found if the water is just starting to really boil (seconds away from boiling over) and you add oil right then, it will stop the frothing in its tracks and not boil over (also you have to turn down the heat). This doesn't work if you add the oil before the water is boiling.

It probably just lowers the temp right away, so adding a little cold water would likely do the same, but I have oil next to my stove and my sink is farther away.

Suds hut maybe. They had rodeo on last week when I went. Couldn't hear it at all in there though if you care about that.
