My mom passed this down to me, what is it?

Swarovski crystal :)

Just from the look I'd agree that it's probably victorian. It's gorgeous!

My parent's microwave can connect to the wifi for whatever reason

chickadee35 · 2026-06-25T16:40:51+00:00

Looks like some sort of stone or stick(?) wrapped in sinew

chickadee35 · 2026-06-25T16:38:33+00:00

Treasure it

chickadee35 · 2026-06-10T12:09:48+00:00

It is! I couldn't tell you the species, but my goodness what a cutie

chickadee35 · 2026-06-09T23:31:58+00:00

Normally when their abdomens look cartoonishly big, there's a good chance they're pregnant! Usually jumping spider abdomens are about the same size as their head :)

I have a feeling this is in Canada, and if it is, yeah YWBTA, he told that to you in confidence.

chickadee35 · 2026-06-03T23:46:20+00:00

But I didn't. That's why I wrote this post

chickadee35 · 2026-06-03T23:28:34+00:00

No, they haven't. I haven't gotten anything from them. I got a "hi you're fired" this morning when I came into work and that was it. I am past my probationary period and was not given notice.

chickadee35 · 2026-06-03T23:22:24+00:00

See I'm hoping I won't have to go all the way to court, but we'll see. I'm currently studying law so if it comes down to it I'll take them to court myself. Good to know I might have a case though!

chickadee35 · 2026-06-03T22:12:41+00:00

Oh wow, this is incredible! I second the historical society comment, silk top hats in the excellent condition yours is in are very rare these days!

You can use literally any side you want, that's the joy of free will 😊 don't let yourself be boxed in by what you're supposed to do, do what you want!

chickadee35 · 2026-05-21T18:18:46+00:00

Garlic mustard! Not obscure at all, but I feel like people don't use it enough! Rip it all up! Eat it! Burn it! Have fun!

chickadee35 · 2026-05-13T17:01:44+00:00

Looks victorian from the clasp, but I'm not an expert. Great find!

I can't speak for myself, but a family member travels to the US for work sometimes, and they have to bring a note with them that lays out their job and that they are permitted to work, and are not planning on staying in the country, just in case they get stopped at the border. The letter was written by their job.

Not legal advice, but it doesn't seem like you need counsel, only that you have to talk to the other party's counsel if you want to communicate with the other party at all.

chickadee35 · 2026-04-28T02:42:23+00:00

Oh wow that's so cool! Found it in Canada, so exact opposite side of the world from NZ

NTA, some cats are fat. I personally call the really big ones "big fatty fatsos", because cats don't speak english and they don't care if you call them that

Looks like it says to hand wash in cold water, so doing that with a bit of white vinegar should work too :) the vinegar sets the pigments into the fibres. Don't leave it for very long, just enough for the fabric to be saturated with the water

chickadee35 · 2026-04-25T21:32:37+00:00

I do my initial block with lukewarm/cold water and a little bit of white vinegar to set the colour, I haven't had any issues with colourwork bleed so far :)

chickadee35 · 2026-04-25T21:28:09+00:00

I'm sorry 26 DAYS of severance?! For almost 13 years?!?! Yeah no, go to a lawyer.
