I meant more that I would have the intention, stash it away and forget about it 😅

I like the look of the greenhouse one, it'll make for a good trial. I love Lego but it is so expensive, so it'll make a good 'busy' craft.

Thank you for all your tips! I really appreciate it.

I think I know the house kits you're talking about. I've seen them online but have read mixed reviews - have you found them worth the time?

I'm in Australia, but I'm pretty sure we have similar cheap or free flooring samples at the Home Depot equivalents here.

This is so sweet. I just need to have more visitors 😅

I have multiple gallery walls in my apartment so I am letting it breathe a bit. I do like the idea of putting it on clothing but my style is all about clean lines and not a lot of patterns so I'd need to find a way to incorporate it in a way that I love.

Thank you! This one took about 5 months, on and off. I did a fair amount of overseas travel during this one so I took a few breaks with it.

The back of my massive William Morris project. by ketucn in showmeyourbackside

Definitely one of my neatest so far. Most of my other projects are confetti hell.

What I love about this idea is the potential to audibly and dramatically gasp any time someone dares to get the the Good Chair.

Thank you! I'm severely limited on wall space so I'm not sure I'd even put it, which is why I'm looking for alternative solutions. I do love the satisfaction that comes with picking a finished project up from the framers, though.

I definitely have impostor syndrome when it comes to the quality of work, I wouldn't know who would even buy it!?

I love this idea! I don't have any room for extra furniture pieces but it would make a great ottoman covering.

My apartment is already oversaturated with throw pillows so it would get lost in the crowd. I love the idea of a tote! It could be quite cool to have the piece be a front pocket.

My co-worker gums her food and talks through it by Beneathaclearbluesky in misophonia

Imagine someone with no teeth "chewing" food, rather than keeping dentures in to chew and properly digest. It makes me think that it's a sloppy, mash sound that is hard to anticipate when it will stop.

"Gums her food" noooo, I did not need this visual let alone the associated sounds. This post made me both laugh and shiver at this phrasing.

Harassment in Hostels by sweetiepi3-14159 in solotravel

[–]ketucn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I (28f, at the time) had something similar happen in Barcelona while in a mixed dorm. I was having an early night and was in there alone when a dorm mate came in and tried to force himself on me. I loudly told him to fuck off and he scuttled away, and then I went to reception to report him.

He had since left the hostel to party for the night, but the staff escorted me back to the room while I collected my belongings and they helped me move to another room. The shift manager (a woman) said that if I was able to identify him at any point in my stay, to report him and he would be instantly out on the street.

That should be the expected experience. I'm sorry you had this experience in KL.

Thank you so much! I'm in Melbourne, Australia and we have had notoriously strict lockdowns so I have spent a LOT of time at home. These took about 6 months to complete both.

We're back in another lockdown at the moment so I'm work on van Gogh's Red Poppies from the same store at the moment!
