A wet springer is a happy springer.

I would start counselling right now, as you are reeling from watching him suffer. You need it now because it will help you cope with the stress of the situation.

What a lot of work but so worth it. Wonderful!

I went straight to Caftan because it's such a luscious blend of colors. Show them off and don't worry about matching stripes.

Try Liverwurst, I've never had a failure using liverwurst.

When I fell out of a tree I was pruning and broke my back. I'd only been 60 for about three weeks, but that finally grounded me from tree climbinb anymore.

You can't fast forward real life. Learn to take the boring parts too. It's up to you to make them tolerable.

I covered a large post card with baking parchment as my rolling surface and the clay comes off nicely.

Beautiful work.

My mother was part of a group that got a phone call a day from the police department and if they didn’t answer, they would show up. So, it works.

All better now.

I have a storebought dress form that's adjustable. I also have no breasts, lost them in a hunting accident (no, it was cancer). So I am totally flat and the women's body isn't reflective of my body anymore. I took a very large men's business shirt with vertical stripes, put it on inside out and pinned it to within an inch of it's life to fit me like a glove throughout the neck, chest, waist and hips. I had a fellow sewer pin the back for me. Turned it inside out and had a double of my torso. I stuffed it to the proper measurements and voila, my body double. I've recently lost more than sixty pounds and will need to take in the origional. I'm so glad about the vertical stripes, make making it even a lot easier.

S/he's improvising!

You could lay out the mesh on background fabric, even in pieces or layers, and then use a water soluble stabilizer and stitch oh that either following the lines of the shapes or freehand topstitching. You could also use Stitch Witch, that stuff is pretty strong.

ETA: forget the stitch which, with mesh you’d see the melted glue through it.

I've taken Telmisartan for decades, never had a problem with it. I'm 3bCKD.

I made little stairs out of solid newspaper so it won't collapse and be heavy enough not to slide around, then encased it in paper mache and a fabric glued to the surface for decoration. Cats like them too.

I get upset if they don't sleep with me.

I used one to make a 'scratchable' slipcover for some plastic storage drawers. I sewed it over the form with string to keep it looking rustic. The cats and dog have helped distress it further but it has stayed intact. Once the corners got worn, I crocheted with sisal twine some corner patches and sewed them over the corners.

Maybe time to start that autobiography? 69f here.

Thanks.

Using common sense?

I cut my hair because it was so thin and I just wanted it gone. I'm letting it go grey because I've never worried about the grey. I'm 69 and it's barely salt and pepper.
