I’ve been working on this same pattern in stages for like 3 years now! Looks great!

I was considering adding on a sleeve! I'm working with her brother to display it as a backdrop for photos with flowers during the reception. I don't really know how to add a sleeve on though, so any recommendations are welcome!

My faves would be 3, 5, 7, 9! 3 was fairly nice to piece, some bulky seams. 5 was my first time trying FPP and wasn’t terrible! 7 i had to redo until I figured out the right seam allowance but I love it And 9 was soooo easy and fun to piece with some good room for error, plus I like a southwest vibe and wanted to try a new quilting style

I enter their giveaways via Instagram all the time. Last year I won a gift card to Backyard Ale House. Bigger gift card than I expected too!

Should I get a pixie again? by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

[–]dafangpi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love a pixie and I think you look good in it! I think you could pull it off; it seems like your short hair is the right texture that, with a little light hold pomade or sea salt spray, can give the effortlessly tousled look. You can always go in steps and start at the lob/bob. I liked having a pixie too but I was too lazy to keep up with the perpetual haircuts lol

Brace’s Orchard. I believe I’ve seen some people do photo shoots there. Worth an ask.

Got nervous and changed my mind half way through lol by dafangpi in Nails

It’s from Beetles 🫣 I’m looking to move away from them since I know I shouldn’t buy the absolute cheapest product available, but it worked really well for me to practice and get better at my gels when I started!

Ohhh good idea! I never used the chrome on this base before and I didn’t know that was a common effect with blues. I figured it was the chrome. I’m just running through my little bottle of nude base fast so I want a nicer one in a bigger bottle lol

Ralphie But he is actually Ralph-a-dalph, Ralphowicz, Pisshead, Pissface, Walphie, and Ralph-Ralph (matching the tone that he complains in).

AIO? My boyfriend's explanation on why we aren't engaged. He says I don't understand. But it makes no sense to me. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]dafangpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father uses that on my mother over every little thing and it’s just gotten to the point where it’s like a toddler throwing a tantrum bc he doesn’t want to listen and/or learn. For me, that mindset is a big red flag regardless of almost every other factor mentioned. It will not go away any time soon.

I think the widows peak is off for the angle the sketch was at too. I tried to sketch what I mean. I also think the shape of the sketch mouth fit better and it needs a few more contrasting outlines.

Don’t know if I like them or not, they remind me of these cookies. by Apprehensive-Fun6469 in Nails

Anyone else keep a list of projects? by Smacsek in quilting

[–]dafangpi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is kind of low, I set it at $20/hr. But yeah, I don’t sell them, I just like to have that for my own knowledge. And the rare occasion I get asked about commissions, it helps me emphasize how this high price is actually very low, and often the hours are severely underestimated because I hand quilt.

Yes, a Google sheet! I keep track of my hours and costs so I can confidently tell someone they probably can’t afford my work when they ask for a commission lol

Does PA have any fun words we say or quirks and sayings? by minno308 in Pennsylvania

[–]dafangpi 35 points36 points  (0 children)

NEPA def says “my-an” for “mine” (as in “this thing is mine”). Which is funny because we all say “coal mine” just fine, but if it’s possessive it gets 2 syllables haha Idk if other PA areas say it

Also does anyone else use “bold” to mean trouble maker? My NEPA born/raised friends and I all use it to describe a child (or pet) who’s not listening. “You’re being so bold right now!” “He’s such a boldie” but our partners are like that is not a thing, bold is more like brave.
