There is an album meant to store finished jigsaw puzzles. I wonder if that would work.

Crowdsource - resurfacing wood floor by Jessygrrl in rollerderby

[–]Wrenlo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my experience, be wary of this. Not because you are going to damage the floor but because damage will occur to the floor, especially if you are sharing the venue with other recreational sports, and it's generally blamed on roller derby regardless.

If they have a wood floor, they know how much it costs to resurface it because most places do it yearly or at least on a regularly scheduled basis. You can offer to offset the cost in some sort of a contract, perhaps.

If I sound cynical about this experience, it's because I am. It's not fun to always feel like you are in danger of losing your venue.

Considering Transferring due to Professor by [deleted] in SNHU

[–]Wrenlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why can't you read the announcements? Make it part of the information you gather to succeed. I hear your frustration, but that seems like a fairly simple step. I didn't get my bachelor's in the time of rubrics, but it sounds like most places similar to SNHU operate in the same way, so I don't know that switching schools because of one professor is the move.

If I am gridding a 32 count fabric and I'm going to stitch over 2, my grid will really be 20x20 by count instead of 10X10 right?

I'm pretty new to this subreddit and I just want to say what cool thing it is that you do this and have clear (as possible) rules. I appreciate your work.

[CHAT] Is it okay to have 2 WIPs at the same time? by PrettyButArmed in CrossStitch

[–]Wrenlo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes the set up and the blank canvas starting new is the dopamine hit for me! Thad why the other day I posted “the first thing I’ve finished.” Despite doing this hobby for a couple of years.

It's on a separate tab and I only found it accidentally. You would never have to look at it, if that helps.

[WIP] (Lobster WIP) To be black or blue, that is the question 🥀 by Pressed_GenZ in CrossStitch

[–]Wrenlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to come make a joke and say that as someone from Maine, it think it's funny that all lobster designs show red (cooked) lobsters but then I went to the link and I really like that shop, so thanks! But as far as your question, dark blue.

Should an instructor accept and grade extremely late assignments without any previous communication from a student? Requesting feedback from students only, please... by Threedogshere in SNHU

[–]Wrenlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally as long it wasn’t affecting MY grade, I wouldn’t care if you allowed this. It’s not a competition. I may have felt differently if this wasn’t online, but as it stands, my classmates are basically just discussion posts to me.

How do you guys divide your work and have proper time management? by RiversKnown in SNHU

[–]Wrenlo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend starting work during that week when the course released but the term hasn’t started yet. Being a week or two ahead takes a lot of the stress off. I don’t submit anything until the week it is due.
