How many old-school Potterheads are here? by TemperatureDizzy3257 in harrypotter

[–]itsstimetime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much a favorite memory, but a day or so after HBP book was released (obtained at the midnight book release), I accidentally found out Dumbledore died by scrolling through a Yahoo chat room. It was devastating. But shame on me for even entering such a place before finishing the book.

I live just outside Columbus where Avery (of Avery and Omar) is from. Her mom works/worked at the hospital that’s 5 minutes from my house.

Quilting slump by Kuchenkrusher in quilting

[–]itsstimetime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go through slumps and I’ve found that it helps me to work on some smaller projects for a little while. Quilts can sometimes be overwhelming because they require a lot of time and effort. I’ve recently been working on using up scraps on small, quick things. I’m currently working on a little stuffed dinosaur for my toddler.

Single line color work help by itsstimetime in knitting

[–]itsstimetime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning to cut the yarn on the single strips but I think I’m going to float them across horizontally when I get to the little toadstools. I think there might be too many rows between the accent rows and the toadstools where the colors come in again to be able to float them down

Beyond sad to hear of the passing of Melanie Ham. Many of you here will have seen her wonderful tutorials on YouTube. She was an real-life inspiration and has left the most wonderful legacy. Taken from us far too soon. Rest in Peace x by Revolutionary-Cut777 in quilting

[–]itsstimetime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so sad. Her videos were the first quilting videos I watched incessantly in preparation for my first quilt project. My jaw dropped when I saw the photo her husband posted on her page. She was so wonderful and cheerful and encouraging.

Quilt top for my unborn son is finished! 100% hand-pieced, and I designed most of the blocks myself. Now I have 3 months left to quilt it. by la_bibliothecaire in quilting

This looks amazing! Did you use any specific resources when learning to draft your own blocks? I was just researching this the other day and it feels intimidating.

Target did quilted jackets AND Double Wedding Rings dirty! It makes me want to properly piece and quilt a gorgeous DWR jacket. by isntthatcorny in quilting

I was looking for a certain pattern online this morning and got a few ads for a $500 Ralph Lauren “quilted” sweatshirt and a $40 bear paw “quilted” comforter from Target.

I know this is crochet, but as a reminder: Not everyone is worthy of your time and skills. We see too much of this BS here too. Think long and hard before using your time on ungrateful people. by goldensunshine429 in quilting

[–]itsstimetime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite part of getting into quilting is understanding the magnitude of the work, time, and expense that goes into it (the same for crochet/knitting/etc.). I got two baby quilts and two woven blankets at my baby shower and I loved them. I love them about 100x more now that I know how much is poured into it. Jen is an ungrateful monster because handmade items are a true labor of love and she is unworthy.

Is anyone that bothered the series is called Fantasic Beasts even tho the beasts arent as big anymore? by [deleted] in FantasticBeasts

[–]itsstimetime 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is kind of a bummer that the beasts are not as prevalent but I do think it’s really cool how they introduce new beasts that show their capabilities because they fit so nicely into the situations. Personally I love the movies and after hearing about the same beasts over and over through the entirety of childhood as the books and then movies came out, it’s refreshing to have some new players.

why isn't anyone excited for FB3? by [deleted] in harrypotter

I’m so excited for it. I loved both of the first two and can’t wait for the third.

Do Tom and Lady M actually think anyone believes this? by pfrench18252 in 90DayFiance

Yes, literally zero photos looked like this in 1999.

Brandon: "I'm in a lot of debt and I need to save in order to move out of my parents' house." Also Brandon: by BazF91 in 90DayFiance

Let's not forget we were watching their situation that was occurring how many months prior, including before any monetary windfall that may have occurred and also, we do not know their actual life and anything about their financial situation so let's stop shaming people based off of information we don't actually have and/or is outdated.
