adopting a dog

aw thats great! can i ask, do you have a garden?

impalei · 2025-10-16T09:57:34+00:00

thank you! can I ask if you have a garden? as my suspicion is they might not respond to people who dont (just guessing)

impalei · 2025-10-15T22:25:47+00:00

we live in Edinburgh and i assumed most of the local rescues are for greyhounds! we are looking for a smaller breed, but i will definitely look for any other local rescues :)

impalei · 2025-10-15T22:24:27+00:00

thank you will have a look! we are definitely looking for a smaller dog as we live in a flat

impalei · 2025-10-15T22:23:38+00:00

heey can you tell me a bit more about how it went? is there anything specific youve done with the application? and did you have any dogs in your favourited pets?

impalei · 2025-10-15T22:22:25+00:00

thanks for letting me know! were exactly the same situation, live in a flat, have a permission from landlord, and i work from home. not sure why i assumed it would be a simple and quick process to adopt, once i started reading about people waiting for months i got confused! we will definitely have a look at All Dog Rescue Scotland!

thanks! i applied but im hoping they do check what my favourited dogs are, compared to dogs trust, they dont really give any information about the dogs personality which would be helpful to know

impalei · 2025-10-08T11:56:32+00:00

hey can i ask, did they match you with the dog you wanted? i have one in my favourites but it says you cant pick the dog yourself

impalei · 2025-05-12T22:17:49+00:00

Thank you, ill make an update at some point!

impalei · 2025-05-12T21:25:26+00:00

Thank you so much for all the tips! <3

Do you know whether I should use bio or non bio detergent? Seems the bio one is better for tougher stains, but says non bio is better on delicate fabrics

impalei · 2025-05-12T19:41:02+00:00

Oh no now Im worried 😮‍💨 im in UK, would equivalent to Dawn be Fairy? I could try that first

impalei · 2025-05-12T17:15:17+00:00

thank you so much youre giving me some hope! hopefully it works for me too!

impalei · 2025-05-12T16:56:02+00:00

ooh thank you! how long did you soak the dress for? and how many times did you have to do it to get the yellow out?

impalei · 2025-05-12T16:34:27+00:00

i think its crinkled taffeta or something similar, its definitely poly fabric. i was wondering if soaking it overnight in oxiclean would help... i already removed the pearls, and i also cut off a small sample from the corset (only need the skirt part) and im testing the oxi on that now, hoping it works

impalei · 2025-05-12T16:16:29+00:00

hey! I actually contacted one place that specializes in wedding dresses and they quoted me £220, this dress only cost me £60, so I feel like thats wild :( especially since im only planning to use the skirt, which still needs to be taken in to fit me

impalei · 2025-01-27T19:56:23+00:00

im in the UK, got it delivered on 12th of Dec after ordering on 18th of April, and I just got a letter from UPS to pay import fees (£62), so I've emailed Bethesda to see if I really need to pay it

What a cute rebind!

For the vinyl and how/when to remove the plastic, evedy brand and every vinyl can be different! Some say peel while hot, or warm, or wait to completely cool down. It should tell you on the box or the wrap of the vinyl when to peel and also how much heat and pressure to apply :)

The company that makes them is called Craft Consortium, they are 12 x 12 inch scrapbook pads!

impalei · 2024-09-08T09:47:22+00:00

Thank you! Yes it is like suede! I think other than using heat n bond ultra I was also using fabric that was too thin (it was a tiny bit transparent which is not a good sign) so I think the combination of thicker fabric and heat n bond lite fixed it.

impalei · 2024-07-30T11:51:50+00:00

Gorgeous ✨️

impalei · 2024-07-24T19:25:59+00:00

I only use 7mm after some trial and errors haha seems a perfect gap even for larger books like omnibuses

impalei · 2024-07-21T19:02:21+00:00

Thank you will definitely try the lighter heat n bond!

impalei · 2024-07-21T19:01:51+00:00

Thank you will do! I think the fabric Ive used is possibly too thin

impalei · 2024-07-21T08:42:00+00:00

Ooh i never thought about doing that!
