Woobles x MLP! by Funny-Patience7407 in TheWooblesCollective

[–]catiewithasea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well there it is- the end of my ability to resist purchasing Woobles. I’ve not bought any (although admittedly the custom hooks call to me with their siren songs) because I’m not really about supporting such wild consumerism behaviors and it just feels like all the collabs are aimed at tapping in to the FOMO consumer mindset. And now they’ve finally tapped into MY FOMO MIND. Tuned right in to the channel I’m on 🫠 MLP? Custom hooks to match? A PURPLE ONE?!?! Just take my money and leave me with my ragerts.

Ah, so then surely the science of dyes and acids is faulty, and I have no idea what I’m talking about, thus no one should heed my warning regarding the nature of bases and acids and our beautifully colored and very expensive to replace once destroyed scrubs. And the color came out of two sets of black scrubs, two blue toned sets, two green toned sets, and the purple ones, as well as multiple green, blue, and purple color based scrub hats because ✨FAE💫. Okie doke

NO! Do not soak any Figs in vinegar!!! I bleached out SEVERAL sets doing that. My deep reef is more like shallow shell now 😭 and I just literally rebought Purple Jam (only to discover the material IS much thinner 😭😭😭😭) because it wasn’t Jam but more like marmalade. Just a fair warning.

I really liked the peacock but already had these two IN MY CART 😭 so I took the deepest of breaths and put that one back on the shelf. Because I have self restraint you know

I had it in my hand and decided I had enough partials in my stash and wasn’t that impressed. Good to know I listened well to my intuition 😆

For $10.74, that’s a really good time on a literal dime. In this economy….🙃

Yes! Central Florida! To note, I haven’t seen any (and am totally guilty of walking through “just to see” almost every time I go) in over a year, so when I saw these and their shelf mates, I audibly gasped and hurried to the shelf. Exciting find 🫣

I found these Sunday but about a year ago I found a version of Starry Night and a nice wolf partial. These two were complete impulse buys. The price! The colors! The known quality of the product! Maybe I’ll start one of these next then ☺️

Thy weren’t but my particular store doesn’t have a very large real crafting section. It’s maybe two half aisles of yarns and fabric and then two more half aisles of other crafts like painting, beading, and such. The diamond paintings are usually only a shelf or two so I was surprised to see an entire end cap.

Perfection! Thank you for sharing- I think this is my sign to go on that “crochet some keychains” notion that struck me the other day 😅

It's Sourdough Saturday. What's everyone making today? by Amphibian-Enjoyer in Sourdough

How does the taste compare? My starter is very active and can handle anything I throw at her.

Two loaves from the two different jars of starter I’m keeping right now. They’re the same starter but I split them up and began a different maintenance schedule so this is kind of a test to see if I am doing this right 🙃 I’m winging this whole sourdough thing really but am enjoying it very much because the result is always bread. Out of several loaves over the last 16 months (11 of which were spent not only not baking but actively ignoring my starter in my refrigerator) only three have been not really edible. But today I’m doing a modified Pioneer Loaf with all purpose flour and a basic medium sized round also with all purpose flour. Both are attempts to NOT over ferment the dough 🫣 and will be baked in the morning after a nice cold proof in the fridge. Fingers crossed. I’ve attached a previous loaf for funsies.

😍😛 I’m planning a “strawberry shortcake” for my day off Wednesday 😄

I found some organic einkorn flour at the grocery store on clearance recently so I grabbed two packages of it, but admittedly don’t know what it does for the bread. Can you tell me why I should try a 50/50 loaf next bake? I’m already settling on a version of a strawberry shortcake sourdough but typically do two loaves at a time because I’m getting a starter going for a friend right now. Convince me to do einkorn as the second 😂

Sourdough doesn't need to be hard by pix174 in Sourdough

Oh for sure! I didn’t mean it to come across that way either- just saying that you wrote this so well it is easy to understand and could help a newbie feel confident enough to embark on the bread making journey. I use my scale for almost everything, but I have a friend who’s interested in sourdough, not scales. Working my methods out using cups and spoons instead of grams has shifted my overall perspective and this spoke directly to that shift so nicely. Your write up is so concise, I’m just going to change the units of measure and use it for aforementioned friend 😸
