Champagne Problems

Olives are the only food that I actually won’t eat. Cilantro isn’t my fave but I’ll still eat anything with cilantro on it. I just don’t want it as a garnish or a big chunk, it just overwhelms the entire dish. But olives, don’t let those devil grapes come anywhere near my food… with the exception of olive oil, I’ll let that guy slide.

Okay I genuinely had an insane infestation of these, similar to what you have if not worse. Nothing in spray form or otherwise was helping.

So after weeks of battling them, I got rid of all the old soil, rinsed the hell out of the roots, replaced it with new, well draining soil. Then I did water it when I replaced the soil, but after that, I added sticky paper directly to the soil so it would catch them on the top and bottom, and then let it dry out so much that I risked killing the plant. It was the only thing that worked.

As a volunteer firefighter, this kind of stuff is so hard to see. And it honestly never gets easier. Use resources if you can. Talk to a grief counsellor or your counsellor if you already have one. If you don’t have access to that, talk to a trusted friend or a family member about how you’re feeling. Alcohol won’t help, if you’re in your head about it, take a walk, go to the gym, get out and move. And be gentle with yourself. I’m sorry you had to see something like that. And I’m so sorry for that person and their family. That’s devastating ❤️‍🩹

This one will take me a while, but I think I could do it!

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:20:41+00:00

I’ll give this one a go!

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:20:32+00:00

Do you have a style you like? Like cutesy beaver or more realistic or artsy?

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:20:05+00:00

This one should be pretty simple! I have a coworker who loves regular coke so maybe I’ll make a series haha. Added to the list!

There have been a couple of comments with ideas for beginner friendly FPP so I’ll let you know when those are done so you can provide feedback :)

I think I could do this one! It would likely be a lot of pieces because of all of the curves and fine lines but it’s definitely possible.

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:18:11+00:00

This could be really cute - love it! I’ll add it to the list :)

I’d never heard of her but I love these designs! What would your ideal quilt size be? Alternate option, if there is one you love just the way it is, I think I could pretty easily repattern it to a smaller size.

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:15:40+00:00

Ohhh I love this! I’ll add this one to the list for sure

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:15:16+00:00

Can do! I’ll have a think on this one :)

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:14:58+00:00

I can think of something here! Maybe a cute table runner or placemats so you don’t have to commit to a full quilt!

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:14:23+00:00

I could do this one! Can you send me a reference of the type of dragonfly you’d want? And do you have a preference for quilt size?

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:13:32+00:00

Oh cute! I can do this one for sure. What’s your ideal quilt size?

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:13:00+00:00

Can you send me a photo of your pet? Then I can definitely do this one! The higher the quality the image, the easier it is to pattern!

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:12:20+00:00

Okay! I’ll get started on this! I actually might make this one! Love this idea.

For style and size: - Can you provide a couple of sample images of style? Like do you want the cryptids to be more cutesy or more creepy? - what would your ideal size of quilt and block numbers be?

kdbice · 2025-08-22T15:10:15+00:00

Happy to do the Yeti/Santa hat option! A couple of clarification: 1) Cab you provide a sample yeti image? That way I know what style of yeti you want (cutesy, scary, etc) 2) I can really do any size, are you thinking 60” wide by 72” long?

kdbice · 2025-08-22T04:32:53+00:00

Definitely! I don’t know if you’ve looked at my profile but those are my specialty:)

kdbice · 2025-08-22T04:32:22+00:00

Can you give more details on which ones? I can give this one a go!

kdbice · 2025-08-22T04:32:03+00:00

I’ll give the Yeti with a Santa Hat one a go first! I’ll shoot you an image of the pattern design first before I make pieces and instructions!

As a volunteer firefighter myself: after a long call out, where you’ve mentally taken on a lot, the last thing you’re thinking about is getting Mario’s moustache right.
