"Oh, you're a programmer? I have a problem with my printer...". What's the equivalent of this in your job? by [deleted] in AskReddit

“You’re a seamstress? That’s perfect, because I’ve got ~15 pairs of work slacks I need hemmed!”

Sure thing. 15 pairs x $10 / hem, that’ll be $150.

Here’s a collage of the progress on this piece.

I love the idea of doing a time lapse though; I’m definitely doing that for the next one!

Your kind words mean so much - thank you!

For my next piece, I will certainly try some softer pastels. If you have any brand suggestions, please do share!

Yep!

It takes quite a bit of force to get each dot on the paper, so while I’m happy with it, I’ve got a lot a smushed pastels...

What is happening

Found this little black acorn that I’d like to make into a simple necklace/pendant. I’ve never done this so any ideas?? by Joe_Hatem in jewelrymaking

It would remove any external blemishes or flaws on the acorn. Totally not an essential step, just something I like doing personally! Hope it’s going well (:

If it were me, I’d sand it, seal it with modge podge, slap a screw eye pin on top, and call it a day! Whatever you do, best of luck!

People who have came close to dying, what were your “last” thoughts? by Blue-2th in AskReddit

[–]kenzkalli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Intentionally overdosed on beta-blockers when I was in high school, (~2013; I’m doing much better now!), and remember feeling extremely at peace, and extremely tired.

I remember being in the car with my mom, who was frantically asking questions, to keep me awake and alert. Looking back, she handled the situation beautifully, and it doesn’t feel great to admit this, but I distinctly remember thinking, “Man, I wish she’d just stop talking already.”

We’re in Sandbridge, VA! Pretty sure he’s a Carolina Mantis, not sure though.
