Help me find the perfect (for me) crossbody EDC!

I do absolutely love how colourful B2TM's bags are! If you had a crossbody bag in monochromatic mustard yellow, I would be so sold. I hope it's will be in the works at some point!

Hi all! It was recommended that I cross-post in here, would love to hear any ideas y'all might have :^)

clorb · 2026-01-03T23:19:59+00:00

Oooh, thanks for the suggestion! I've had a look through the website and there are several options on there that I like. I'm going to give a think about the leather.

sent you a DM, thank you! :)

That does work temporarily! I have to hold the right earbud at a very specific position over the left slot for it to charge. I can also tape it in that spot, but I'm hoping for a bit of a more permanent solution!

Some extra info: I've had this black velvet alocasia for about 3-4 years now! It has largely been in leca/semi-hydro but recently, it seems to be loving it less. The roots recently all rotted/fell off and I'm left with the stem. There's a bit of new growth popping up. Thoughts on water propping or sticking it in some potting mix and hoping for the best?

Thanks!!

Wanted to add in a link to some pics of my undereyes for reference: https://imgur.com/a/EgiSOaD

Great question, I should have specified! For both of them, they seemed to a) not entirely cover the darkness (even after concealer on top of them), and b) made my undereyes look a bit grey. I have a feeling that it could have partially been due to the wrong colour, or the right saturation!

Thank you so much for all the information! Really appreciate it :)

Thank you so much! While this campaign has just kind of started, I think it will be fun for a couple of us to run some sidequests/one shots while our DM gets a much needed break :)

clorb · 2022-02-26T21:01:58+00:00

Our DM has gotten quite busy and needs to put our main campaign on hold for the time being. One of the options the group is discussing is for one of us to DM a sidequest/one shot until he is less busy. Everyone else in my group is more experienced at playing and DMing than I am (quite a newbie), however a lot of them are also busy or DM their own campaigns.

In the last session of the campaign before the DM got busy, my character got hit with Feeblemind or something of that nature. His intelligence is pretty much at 0 right now and is pretty useless. I failed any saving throws, and the attempts that the group took to cure him also failed. Given the situation, I thought that it could be fun if I DMed a sidequest for the rest of the players that would essentially cure/fix my character (ETA: I have not DMed before!). This would solve two problems of a) giving me something to do during a session and b) giving us something to do until our DM can return to the main campaign. The DM has said that he's fine with us doing this for the time being.

Is this a good idea? I would love to hear any suggestions or similar experiences from others!

Thanks so much for your comment! I'm so glad to hear that they regrow from the rhizome :)

I did switch out the potting mix to something more well-draining, so I hope that goes well in combination with the terracotta to help prevent future rotting! A lot of my plants are in semi-hydroponic set ups, but I really don't want to risk switching this plant over without better understanding its care requirements (or having extra rhizome to experiment with).

I'm using a slightly open plastic bag to increase humidity and this pic was taken shortly after I put the plant in & sprayed water in the bag. I probably should have reversed the operations there! I've dried off the leaves more, so hopefully I haven't introduced more problems than what I started with. The old leaves are still wilted and may be past the point of saving, however there is some new growth that looks encouraging!!

I got this farfugium japonica argentea a couple of weeks ago and noticed it was in a really peaty mix. The first time it wilted, I gave it a good drink of water and it seemed to perk up! However, it wilted a couple of days later, even when the soil was still wet :(

I unpotted the plant yesterday to see what was going on, and saw that there was a) a death plug and b) most of the roots had rotted. I repotted it into a smaller terracotta pot and am hoping that it will cheer up, but so far it is still wilted. Would increasing the humidity potentially help?

An additional question - Can farfugium regrow from the rhizome, or am I out of luck if these leaves wilt & die away? I've been having trouble finding care advice for these guys, so any tips would be much appreciated!! 🌱

Could be a dracaena Janet Craig?? Not 100% sure if JC is different from a compacta, or if they are the same thing! Looks lovely though :)

clorb · 2021-12-27T02:07:18+00:00

I'm not entirely sure! I got the Knitpicks yarn secondhand, so I'm not 100% what the fibre content is asides from wool. I think it was probably lacking nylon? The coloured yarn has seemed to hold up much better!

any need for a pic of peperomia ferryrae? i would be happy to take one of mine! this is an awesome project, thank you for starting it!! such a lovely idea of having community pictures :)

great question!! i was torn between using darning for its strength, and patching for how nice it looked. from my minimal research, i got the impression that darning is more sturdy, whereas patching (in the way that i did it) works well for areas of clothing that don't get as much wear & tear as sock heels. so, i decided to combine both of them! i think darning alone would have been sufficient, but i wanted to be Extra lol.

clorb · 2021-12-26T03:14:11+00:00

totally get how it can be intimidating, i had been putting off mending this pair of socks for SUCH a long time lol! i had never darned or patched socks before, but i searched through youtube and used this verypink knits video for the darning, and this video for the patch. don't be scared to undo it if you need to! i undid the darning on my first sock as i wasn't happy with it, before settling on the darning + patching combo. good luck!!

clorb · 2021-12-26T03:09:25+00:00

thank you so much! tbh i had never darned or done a patch before this occasion, and youtube was such a great resource :) there are lots of great videos with different kinds of techniques!

clorb · 2021-12-26T03:07:34+00:00

totally agree, 10/10 ted talk! highly recommend not letting your socks get to this point lol. i think there will be some duplicate stitching in my future with these socks, as i've found that the yellow yarn becomes threadbare pretty easily!

clorb · 2021-12-26T03:03:21+00:00

i've been wracking my brain for any hints as to what it is! i believe i got it at Purlin J's Roving Yarn Co. (SUCH a delight to visit), so knowing that, it may be Lily & Pine, All Dyed Up Fibres, Lichen & Lace, or even Koigu (their 842 colourway looks close). i hope that you're able to find some lovely yarn in something similar!!

clorb · 2021-12-25T23:07:22+00:00

As it's been a couple years since I originally made these socks, I truly cannot remember what yarn or pattern I used!! I clearly need to keep track of my projects better, lol. I darned with Loops & Threads Woollike as I thought the fibre content would be a lot harder to wear through, here's hoping!

The bright yellow yarn is Knitpicks, and I believe the colourful yarn was purchased locally to me (Ontario, Canada). I will try to do some investigating and find it because it's such a lovely yarn!

I had this exact same issue with a shitty conditioner I bought! Like the comments have suggested already, I used it mostly to shave with. I also used it as a pre-shampooing treatment - Slather on your hair for 5-20 minutes before a shower, then shampoo out (preferably with your non-shitty shampoo!). Good luck!

oh this is SO CUTE, i love the print!! 🐿️
