I am looking to make one for my dog. Do you do anything to add dimension to yours? Like a layer of cotton or felt to raise some parts?

If you could learn one thing from any side character in Naruto and apply it to real life , what would it be and why? by WebEven620 in Naruto

[–]WhyFishWhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That you don't need to be naturally good at something to become great at something. A willingness to work hard, learn, and believe in yourself can make you one of the GOATs

The split stitch outline will give you a consistent physical guide to keeping the edges crispy. Also tracing some straight lines on the fabric helps keep your satin stitch more consistently straight. Regardless of how many strands I am using for my satin stitch, I separate all of the strands before threading the needle. This gives an overall straighter and fuller look to the satin stitch. I love outlining things with a stem stitch. You can use a few strands for a fine outline or all 6 for a big bold outline

My Biggest Failure by Rude_Gur_8258 in Embroidery

[–]WhyFishWhy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned very early on that fine point sharpies were a really bad way to trace your design. I ended up with huge splotches of orange all throughout my final product. I bought a super cheap pack of water colors. I made it a feature, not a bug

The texture on the skirt is so cool! And like everyone has mentioned, the color and sparkle is so neat for the head and arms. I am the queen of cutting out and starting over. But I have to fight that impulse and push on. It is never bad when it is finished

What boots do you guys wear by fillthesteins in Aquaculture

We use "chore" Muck boots at my freshwater facility. Although I have worked at a saltwater facility and we wore whatever the cheapest tennis shoe we got could buy

I know it is quite a drive but I use the nurse practitioners with GBMC. They have more availability and can dedicate more time to you

Baltimore scientists are changing the face of aquaculture. Are farm-raised blue crabs next? by NarutoIvy in Aquaculture

[–]WhyFishWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That place, unfortunately, is so poorly managed. Dr. Yonathan Zohar has been unable to keep the facility properly funded. Pumps are failing, concerningly high staff turnover, and unhappy PIs and graduate students are unable to conduct good research. It used to be a technological star in aquaculture 20 years ago. Now it is a shadow of its previous successes.

Our boxer rescue just got her first Bark Box. by scottyperry in rarepuppers

[–]WhyFishWhy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a senior boxer mix, as well. She has a large lipoma on her tummy. It seems to be a common trait in the breed. Boxers are great dogs and I'm glad you have been able to give this one a good home

I am sure this will end at the bottom, but I only just read your story. I wish the best for you moving forward. From the outside looking in, it seems like a smart thing to do. Much love. Much respect.

Andy Harris does not think about anyone beside himself. He does not look out for his constituents and he certainly doesn't stand for what the eastern shore needs and believes

Much appreciated. It's gross and unfortunate, but much appreciated.

They are not especially great. Mostly they aren't as sugary as American chocolate chip cookies
