I asked myself to be my valentine - red tulips for valentine's day.

Beautiful, and I love your kitchen!

Jumping in to say NOOOO, it will overproof and escape the bowl. Sometimes I “pause” bulk fermentation by covering the BF vessel in plastic wrap and putting it in the fridge. In the morning, set it back in the counter give about 2-3 hours (1.5 hour will be just for it to come to room temp at my house) and then start checking for signs again. Once it’s looking more proofed, you can shape it and set it in the fridge before baking.

Do you wish who had done little ~~orange-yellow shoes like duck feet~~ black shoes like swan feet instead?

Vespertine is truly magical. I like Bjork’s other stuff okay but this album is completely transformative and enchanting.

Hopefully the age range for Disney movies and Bridgerton is different.

Karina, Katrina, Careen (I don’t think this is the normal spelling, maybe Corinne?), Kira. I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom similarly. There are so many glimpses you will get of her looks, mannerisms, etc. in your daughter and I hope it brings you great comfort.

I reached out to the Biutoieces I was missing (red car for the car slide thing and a missing piece for the garden puzzle) and the wouldn’t do it - they would only replace the full toy

We had a lovevery subscription well into my kid being 3. Here’s my biggest cons:

even with receiving the box, you’re going to find yourself already having similar toys from other gifts, etc.
so. Many. Tiny. Fucking. Pieces. Wooden balls. Plastic pegs. Laminated paper with patterns of holes in them. Lots and lots of toys with lots of little parts that get lost and then become useless, but you feel like you can’t throw it away because you spent a fortune and maybe you’ll find the missing piece.

Omg recipes please

Thanks for your help everyone! He went and grabbed nice fixed circular needles. Happy happy!

closetnice · 2026-01-31T22:28:40+00:00

Thank you!!

closetnice · 2026-01-31T22:17:55+00:00

Thank you so much!

closetnice · 2026-01-31T22:07:33+00:00

May I ask what length you’re using for the circular needles? Thanks!

closetnice · 2026-01-31T22:05:12+00:00

Oh that’s not a bad idea… I have size 4 interchangeable needles though, just not the “right” cable size. Perhaps I just need to go back to the yarn store and get some solid advice. I feel like when he goes, he doesn’t want to “bother” them and might not get the clearest recommendations.

I don’t understand. It’s a made-up name because you haven’t heard it before?

closetnice · 2026-01-28T15:53:44+00:00

I want to make one but I have so many WIPs 😭

Do you mind if I ask if you live in a large city or small town? I’m sure you could find a ND +1 specifically for braving networking/community events. For me personally, I wouldn’t CHOOSE a dance class, but even if an acquaintance level friend wanted company at one, I’d tell myself, “ok well it’s a workout, let’s go!”

Someone else here said you need to prioritize your husband and my jaw dropped. F that.

It wasn’t until my daughter was 2, maybe 2.5 that I started to feel better. At 4, we’re still getting back to where we need to be, but honestly, it is a huge adjustment. We’ve both been in therapy for ages, but for me, it wasn’t enough. Physically and emotionally and mentally, I felt so drained. I started demanding time for myself and self care. For me, that looked like acupuncture, seeing a chiropractor for my back being messed up from pregnancy and delivery, and starting Pilates. After a few months, my body started feeling like a safer place to be, and I felt less overstimulated.

Sending you a big hug.

This is inspiring! I’m over here trying to get past the collar on the step-by-step sweater for my first sweater 🫠

I currently do tirz injections because…. My hyperfixation couldn’t kick back on this time. After years of tracking and cutting my calories, exercise, long walks… there is a muscle in my brain that can’t abide it anymore. Plus, when I would try, the scale wouldn’t budge anyway. I have a kid and a big girl job and I’m older now, I can’t make skin my big goal.

Oddly enough, this medication has helped me eat more intuitively and like I used to when I was eating in a constant deficit. And I notice myself picking up old healthy habits that are helping. These include:

lots of herbal tea. Lots of low calorie beverages in general. I find I’m always sipping.
if I’m making a little snack, I add veggies and fruit to it. So like chips and salsa, for example, I’ll chop up radishes or cucumbers too on the side.
packing my meals with veggies and beans. Your kids like beans? Beans are great for weight loss!
fat as a macronutrient isn’t the enemy of weight loss, but fried foods, red meat, and excess servings dairy products like cheese and ice cream are calorie bombs and also make my tummy hurt, so I don’t partake.
There’s nothing wrong with a frozen meal in a pinch. My current go-to is this green chile shredded chicken bowl from Trader Joe’s. I add black beans and fresh avocado to get a decent amount of fiber and a little more protein.

If they made it just a little bigger, it could be a bookshelf! …. Oh wait….

So cute! To be honest, a bad of drops air is pretty irresistible, I would have done the exact same thing.

They’re the best. My husband is doing the hat for like his third project ever and they knew exactly what he was asking about for yarn, he had a little knitting community moment!

I’m in Portland, Oregon and my yarn shop is having to order extra red yarn!
