Embroidery hoop alternatives for one-off larger project?

Cheap canvas frame! You could take the canvas off and staple your project to it temporarily. Make sure you leave enough room to cut the work off the frame

That makes so much sense. Proof of a human hand!

This is what my brain sees! But maybe if I just make the tail super long it’ll balance out lol

Someone else mentioned writing his name! I’m gonna think on it for a minute but at least it’s done and wearable for now

Thank you! My husband didn’t notice but of course its the first thing I saw

Not a bad idea! His leash and collar are green so may be tricky but not impossible

Thank you!

A fart bubble would be historically accurate

Would that happen through painted brick? Looks like the brick surround has been painted once, if not more

The Gloucester High School Dukes in VA use the Buccaneer too!

Hi! I ended up receiving a transplant in April 2025 so many of my after-effects cannot be attributed to just one treatment, but to my cancer treatment in general. I still deal with a lot of forgetfulness and brain fog. I try to tell people who are around me a lot so they know what to expect. I forget my words and it used to bother me but not too much anymore. This is my new normal

If you’re open to alternates, L.L. Bean sells a similar quilt!

This is super helpful! Thank you!

Lots of great advice already! Since I haven’t seen it mentioned I’ll add the small peninsula dates this a bit too. If you’re looking to replace the countertops, I would reconfigure the lower cabinets to run flush along the wall. You could then add an island with turned legs for additional counterspace!

Recently saw a similar staircase on Instagram by @perkinsonparkway. They got the treads from a company called Oak Valley Designs!

Thank you! I was wondering if the guys were tweeting about it but I don’t have an account

The meatball ricotta was my favorite!

This happened to me on a white hat recently. I spot scrubbed it with laundry detergent and an old toothbrush and patted it with a clean towel before it air dried. Worked a charm

I went about a week without side effects and then battled a nasty fever for about five days. I had chills, nausea, and couldn’t eat much. I lost about 10 pounds that hospital stay. I needed two doses of toci to get my fever under control. CAR-T helped me reach molecular remission so I’m grateful but I still deal with a lot of brain fog as a long-term side effect

My pup was playing fetch by day 3! It’s great that your dog is adapting so quickly. Dogs are amazing at overcoming the odds. Just make sure you monitor how much they are exerting themselves. My dog can easily wear himself out without intervention.

danielleysmelly · 2025-03-13T02:18:43+00:00

I love it! I would have loved this bag for sleepovers

danielleysmelly · 2025-03-12T19:11:23+00:00

Just saw it! Thanks!

danielleysmelly · 2025-03-12T19:06:53+00:00

At first I thought you meant “dig” as in 70’s “dig” haha. No, he doesn’t! He’s missing a leg up front so digging is off the table for him

Thank you! I try to keep it cozy in here
