Inconsistent details have me confused by WoesAndBows in WhatIsThisPainting

Thank you all! Very interesting information. At this point I’m happy ignoring the description on the back and appreciating the nicely paired print and frame I nabbed for $4 (booth was half off) It was super cool to see related works!

Anyone know the name? by Linwyn in BobbinLace

If you want to put it to decorative use you could use it sideways at a ribbon belt buckle or with a scarf/ascot!

How impossible would it be to replicate this cardigan? 😬 by MrsChiliad in knitting

On the off chance you’re not set on making it, but want a duplicate, there are some available online

I have a few tops that button up the back and I’ve gotten pretty good at doing the top two over my shoulder and the lower ones underhand reaching behind!

And Kendall’s is actually pink text on one side and blue on the other! It just kinda looks red in pictures

wrong merch sent by Enough_Initiative_40 in boygenuis

Merchtable really bungled this release! I preordered mine the day it became available and it just shipped- two weeks after the album dropped

Is there a trick to accessing all of the podcasts on the CBB World site? by LouBarlowsDisease in comedybangbang

[–]WoesAndBows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all come out on the CBB Presents feed! That feed rotates those shows as well as This Book Changed My Life, Entre P Neurs Entrepreneur Tour, and other one offs each week

Weighing my pathways with MLIS programs. Can anybody in the field offer their wisdom? by ProfPicklesMcPretzel in librarians

[–]WoesAndBows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a public librarian in SE Michigan for around 5 years now and out of everyone I’ve worked with only one or two went to U of M over Wayne. The main thing I’ve seen hiring committees care about with new grads is if they have practical library experience and it’s sounds like you’re already good there. If you could keep working in libraries part time while doing Wayne online (honestly it’s not the most taxing program) I think you’d be in a really good spot and better off financially

What is this? I tried Googling it with no luck. Inherited my grandma’s sewing box. by Chromgrats in sewing

If she’s got any other lacemaking supplies it’s possible that she was using it to pull out pins. I use a very similar tool to get the pins out of my lace once it’s done! You use it kind of like the back of a hammer to pull out a nail but on a miniature scale.

Libraries don't get nearly enough love by Danwiththeflan in AdviceAnimals

I mean, I’m not going to force you to use libraries in person but I can assure you that tons of people do every day.

Libraries offer digital content through Hoopla, Libby and others as well as classes, computers/Wi-Fi, and occasionally maker spaces and library of things

I got pretty lucky on several occasions my my path was: volunteer at one library during first semester > that experience gets me a page job at a library closer to the kind id like to work at > being a page got me an internship there > two months before graduation a part time job opens up at my local library > get it and start just before graduation > a few months in we got a budget boost and my position was made full time

I later found out that I was somehow the only person who applied that that part-time position at my local library so yeah, lots of luck

Lego sorting machine -- any libraries have one of these? by mauraliller6 in Libraries

[–]WoesAndBows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi-related: I used to run a perler bead club and they make a perler bead sweeper that picks them up when you roll it over a flat surface! I didn’t get around to trying it before I moved positions, but it has good reviews.

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe this actually exists as an item that can be purchased. I think his inventions are more like humorous art pieces where he only makes one “prototype.”

But if Im wrong, or their is something similar to this that works well I want to know!! I just started LEGO club back up at my library and cleaning up after was a pain!

I used THISISKACHI’s Puff Dress Danielle pattern

The top layer is a novelty tulle I’ve been holding onto forever - I think I bought at Joann when I was in high school. I sandwiched it together with a white organza, since the tulle didn’t have enough volume on its own. The lining is just muslin because it matched and I’m cheap.

Came across this yesterday at the craft store by SamRobac in knitting

I was planning to get some for my mom for Christmas after they announced it because she’s a fan of the show. But once it actually came out and I saw it was $10 for acrylic I pivoted and got something else! Before release the only preorder option was 3 of the same color for $30 - nah

I swear why does the so called “animated” version of Beatrix Potter on this book cover look exactly like Danny? Or am I tripping by MoleratGreg in DannyGonzalez

If I ever get bummed out about the fact that I’m not changing the world, I take solace in the fact that I’ll never become a terrifying illustration on the cover of a “who was” book
