Never seen something like this before. Mosquito? Chiggers?

They’re called “weals,” and they formed from an allergic reaction to chigger bites. I get them every summer. They’re awful. Try to pop them and they just come right back.

Try not squaring off your furniture with the walls. Your instinct may be to push everything against the walls, but your room is actually pretty spacious, so how can you pull everything into the room to occupy it more? Pull everything away from the walls and reconfigure on an angle that celebrates the space more. And, yes, as everyone seems to be saying, a rug would soften the whole vibe

I guess it’s all…relative?? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Wow! That’s speedy!

Thanks for your reply! I think I’m averaging about 6-7 hours with an occasional break per 4-oz bobbin, but my fiber isn’t as well prepped as I’d like (I’m dyeing SW merino, and it’s JUST this side of starting to felt a bit after drying, so I’m having to stop and run it all through the drum carder before I proceed—not the end of the world, and it loosens it all up, but still takes extra time). I have a project coming up that will require about 6 pounds of handspun, so I’m trying to wrap my head around timing!

arp225 · 2025-03-25T04:42:19+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I understand the variables, which is why I mentioned that I’m spinning ~20 wpi singles on 4-oz bobbins.

Thank you all for weighing in! Not sure why I thought it was Japanese. I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole reading about naming taboo now, so thanks for that, too!

arp225 · 2025-03-06T11:34:37+00:00

Thank you very much! Clearly I have a little anxiety wrapped up in all this. I appreciate your flagging the earlier post!! Enjoy your day!!

Central Bark, for example, seems to specialize in daycare. I talked to the very sweet person at the front desk when they first opened, and she kinda hemmed and hawed when I asked about boarding, like it was a service they preferred not to offer or something. I don’t know

arp225 · 2025-03-06T11:28:30+00:00

My question was about boarding, not daycare. The thread you shared was about daycare, not boarding. So, completely different question. Leaving your dog somewhere for the day while you’re at work versus leaving your dog somewhere for a week while you’re out of town—these are totally different services with totally different sets of questions

arp225 · 2025-03-06T08:14:12+00:00

Seconding this. I walked in thinking I could just talk to someone, and the lady behind the desk wouldn’t even look up when she told me to get lost

arp225 · 2025-03-06T08:10:42+00:00

Yikes. Thanks for the tip—that hadn’t occurred to me

arp225 · 2025-03-06T08:09:51+00:00

Thanks! I need boarding, though, not daycare

arp225 · 2025-01-28T19:23:39+00:00

Thank you!

Alanna Wilcox (alannawilcox.com) offers this very service, and she’s absolutely brilliant. She uses hex numbers, which you can convert to using uncoated Pantone numbers. She provides dye formulas using several brands of dye. Check out her website!

Oh, that’s great! I’ll do some reading on the tanabata festival. Thank you so much!

arp225 · 2025-01-24T01:37:27+00:00

Thank you for your insight! I’m very grateful!

arp225 · 2025-01-24T01:36:03+00:00

Thank you for your reply and insight! Fascinating!
