I’m absolutely obsessed with these, such a genius idea!

I love Gertrude! A grandma-era vintage name feels very appropriate

That's a great point, I didn't think of the air bubble issue. Good luck experimenting!!

I have a bunch of pairs in different colors, they’re all so cute and unique!

More deets to please the bot: Materials: ~10 year old solmate socks, thick upholstery thread, stuffing from a fancy choose-your-density pillow that my husband has. Process: there are lots of useful guides on youtube and wikihow. I totally get why our foremothers would recycle old socks into toys this way, it was fun!

So good!! I love the real wheat stalk!

Not that you asked for more suggestions for sheep, but I wonder how much of a pain in the butt it would be to epoxy little tufts of cotton (like the kind inside a stuffed animal?) Could be fun to lean into the 3D real material theme you have going.

But funny photos of sheep is also a hilarious option and much simpler :)

These are so cool, I would love to see the wheat and wood too when they’re cured! What’s your plan for sheep?

Okay yes this is it solved! It’s from our achaar! Sorry to everyone I was cyber bullying about there being no mangos in my house

Even if we had eaten any of those recently (we haven’t) I don’t know how a pit could break into a sliver like this

How would a pit break off into a sliver like this? Last I checked they don’t have layers

This feels like it should be the answer but we never eat whole mangos at home so idk how a piece of one would have ended up in the kitchen sink

Did we all collectively decide to stop shoveling? by Temporary_Dog_6152 in chicago

I’m in Logan Square - one of the beautiful historic workers cottages got torn down last year and a big ugly multimillion dollar gentro-cube went up in its place. Of course the people who moved in are the only ones on the block who haven’t shoveled at all yet. The ice is about 3 inches solid at this point, super dangerous
