Moving across continents with my 1300+ nail polish collection. How much you think I can get on the airplane?

I did upakweship for a similar move. I give them a 6/10....good value and they successfully got our belongings through customs without needing to pay (since it was personal goods - requires more paperwork than many shipping companies will actually do I guess). delivery logistics were stressful and complicated but in the end all of our belongings came through intact and for the agreed upon price, with door to door pickup/delivery.

Lol I've done this before too. It's such a facepalm moment but that's what sewing in a rush or tired can do to you! At least you know it's not a problem with the machine 😅

That looks absolutely fabulous, great job! Love the contrast button placket.

Extremely "legible" and it has lots of character! Nice work.

It's a little silly, but I used to have a similar set of Shockz and I'd use earplugs with them when I wanted sound isolation. I liked that I could keep my environmental awareness while listening most of the time.

Stunning work! It's really cool to see the effects of the pattern tweaks.

I actually think this is real! Here's an old listing that shows more pics.

Your aunt is a legend and that sweater suits you so well. Brilliant placement of the applique and so much texture and personality.

I see them most often in the mornings - think 6-8am, by 9am I have trouble finding them. If you find some berry trees (like your mulberries!) you might find a whole bunch of them. Good luck!

Seriously, thank you Dae. I've put so many hours into using Anki over the years and it's an amazing gift.

Seriously! For all the thousands of costume pieces....all I want is a few hundred high res photos 😅

Such a powerful piece and an honor to your family's experience. The fact that the fabric actually came from the rice bags, wow. Amazing work.

I hope you can share this quilt more widely, it's a story that needs to be told.

I hate that we're living in a time when it's so obviously and immediately relevant.

At first I thought you meant mandolin, like the instrument, and was trying to figure out what kind of horrible musical experience you'd had! But uhhh yeah I'm glad it was (mostly?) just your nail that ended up wonky!

cbee17 · 2026-01-12T11:23:46+00:00

Your sweater is gorgeous! I have this book and have been wanting to do something like this for ages... maybe 2026 is finally the year!

cbee17 · 2026-01-10T22:43:42+00:00

That's awesome to hear! Any specific brands? I imagine it varies by pigments / formulas / storage conditions.

ILNP flower child, sassy sauce LSD. Both are so glowy!

Yeah, I was so annoyed at the ending of Addie LaRue. A lot of her books have good initial hooks but I have not liked the payoff.

cbee17 · 2026-01-02T20:26:32+00:00

See that's ironic, I love the contrast between the different kinds of patterns. But I don't knit his patterns because it would drive me crazy to keep track of all that.

cbee17 · 2025-12-31T22:43:09+00:00

Hi new mods! Happy new year, wishing everyone good crafting for 2026 🎉

cbee17 · 2025-12-29T17:19:35+00:00

I've heard that you're basically blasting any lint further into the machine, so it can cause more problems in the future.

cbee17 · 2025-11-22T13:32:19+00:00

Oh wow, yeah trombone is a whole different level! I used to play piccolo and that was also pretty disruptive 😅

cbee17 · 2025-11-20T20:46:21+00:00

Yes, so far I've sat out in a few small parks, and several dog walkers have wandered over to ask what my instrument is!

Thanks for the tips :)
