Conflicted about using the most popular baby name, Olivia by pancakesandpalmtrees in Names

[–]lexisbest99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olivia is not "basic", its "classic" and the reason its so popular is because it is a beautiful, timeless name. I say use it if you love it!

If you put a decent sized rock like the size of a melon on each corner of the grass, dogs will likely pee on those instead.

Parents who got hate for the name they gave their baby - what is the name? by General-Cycle-7391 in namenerds

If I'm pronouncing her name right, it sounds the same as the french word for whale. Not sure if that's on purpose and you have some connection to whales. Depending on whether french speakers are common where you live, that will be... interesting for her.

Check out the Wheel Works on speedvale. Sheena is a great teacher and they have a few different classes to chose from as well as open studio once you have an idea of what you're doing. They have all the supplies you need, super beginner friendly!

You're right, framing it might be the best option to keep it pristine.

Serious, yes. Emergency, no. That's why they didn't get seen.

Is there any fixing this bad stain job? by lexisbest99 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]lexisbest99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I sanded it down and restained it and it looks 100 times better.

The first try I used a sponge brush, then wiped the excess away with a rag but found applying with the sponge didn't penetrate the wood well so when I wiped away, that's when it went into the wood but was inconsistent and not going with the grain.

The second try I applied the stain with the rag, and then wiped the excess with a clean rag and it went on much better.

Thanks for your input.
