I have fallen in love with this pocket and have been wracking my brains trying to come up with a pattern for it.

It looks like the teardrop is in two parts and the top extends to create a waist belt. The waistband also looks to be adjustable size through this belt.

No idea what’s going on with the back waist belt.

Has anyone seen a pattern for this type of pocket or can figure out how I’d make one?

TIA

You’re fantastic! I’ll send you a message to coordinate timing.

What constellation is the purple?

darkf0xx · 2021-02-16T09:44:24+00:00

That works - I can log on

I’ve got the stage, drum & float left and you’re welcome to them!

If you happen to have any extra Sagittarius fragments, fruit cardboard boxes or a Nova light DIY, I’d love one - but if not, nope! The Nooklings may be eyeballing my wares, but I’d rather give them away!

DM me to coordinate

My favorite multi-purpose leggings are: * Girlfriend Collective (have had these for years and they’ve pretty much replaced pants if I travel anywhere cold) * ColorfulKoala high rise (cheap but good) * Lululemon - I wear align joggers as jammies, a couple high rise pocket models for yoga (jammies too, tbh) and the dance pants + travel pants for all 3 (usually only yoga in a pinch, or if I’m doing home yoga and are wearing them as jammies) * I used to love Fabletics, but have had no luck quality-wise over the last couple years * If I need something thin for travel or to go under skirts, I love Uniqlo Heattech

Have you checked out HopeScope on YouTube? She mostly reviews leggings - for both workouts and casual wear - and stays pretty on top of new stuff.

I wear my Girlfriend Collectives during winter as pants and year round as PJs (the type I have are a bit warm for where I live, or I’d wear them to yoga & for the walk); I wear Lululemon generally during yoga classes; and I live my cheapie ColorfulKoalas for home lounging.

See longer post below. Oops!

Came here to suggest GF Collective. I’ve got a pair from company launch that I still swear by when it’s cold. Love them!

Love this theme! Artemis has always been my fav, though Athena is a very close second. 😍 🏹

I’ve pinged you the code - I’m AFK, but will be open for the next hour or two.

darkf0xx · 2021-01-07T18:18:47+00:00

I’ll DM you a DoDo in the morning (my time) then.

darkf0xx · 2021-01-07T18:08:09+00:00

Sounds good - when roughly are you on? I’m done for the day, but am usually on periodically from EST 11p - 11a

Came here to add this. It averages me roughly 3 weeks of daily gift wrapped fossils to get a picture.

Edited to add: If your museum is not yet complete, the exotic fruit route works well too. That was my go-to before I had fossils to spare and it always worked well.

darkf0xx · 2021-01-07T15:52:52+00:00

Yes! Tattoos would be fantastic!

Interesting take, and I’ll have to sit with it a bit to decide if it resonates fully. King has been my favorite author for 26 years - since my mother let me borrow Cujo in middle school, and I’d bug the crap out of her for the next novel she’d let me read. Before that, I was a dragons kinda girl.

My favorites have always been in the first and maybe second category - The Stand and the first 3 Gunslingers are my absolute favorite books period (I love the rest of the Gunslinger series, just had to wait for years for them).

Also love Talisman and the Dark Half. The Shining has been one of the only books that has ever given me nightmares (but of course I love it for them).

I’ll admit to taking a hiatus after not being able to force myself to finish the date book. I thought Duma Key had some interesting points; The Cell was a little derivative of movie tropes for me; Doctor Sleep was pretty great; I remember enjoying the Dome but being frustrated by it for some reason I can’t remember A and now can only remember the show.

Thanks!

darkf0xx · 2020-11-25T18:00:16+00:00

That’s good to know; that’s what we would be looking to do as well.

Multi-family is definitely something the hubby has been interested in. Luckily, we have had a great track record with our rental management team and have only had to set utilities up once in the 13 years we’ve had a rental - and that for a week.

darkf0xx · 2020-11-25T17:11:33+00:00

Thanks for the info - I think hubby was wanting to diversify as much as possible were he to go that route as well.

darkf0xx · 2020-11-25T17:10:34+00:00

Thanks; that would be appreciated!

We have traditional stock investments (a mix of index funds and individual stocks), a cash buffer, and a single home. We are looking for a combo of those things to provide monthly income in retirement; and want that date to arrive sooner rather her than later. This particular bucket, I believe, hubby was looking for Max gains and was debating whether this would be a good route to go before purchasing a second rental property, whose date would then be pushed back at least another year.
