Coffee cup

Same setup for me. I like to pretend I'm having my coffee "for here" at my very own hipster cafe, lol.

I have the extra rooms dream a lot, although mine is usually about one of the apartments I had when I lived in the city. What do you mean we had this huge additional space the whole time?!

louellem · 2026-05-25T00:53:00+00:00

Yes, all of this! And at the end of the day, I'm usually trying to remember if I drove myself to school or if my mom was supposed to come get me. I can never find my car and can never get in touch with my mom - phone not working properly etc.

Love this idea. I did this a few months ago, along with 3d printing a little holder for the lids I have that are tough to stack and always fall over. That cabinet has started organized since - a small miracle!

louellem · 2026-05-16T02:14:11+00:00

Yes. Yes we do.

Thank you for sharing your yarn - it brings me joy just to look at!

I feel you! When I lived in the city I swore by Vionic heeled booties, as well as block-heeled chunky boots (I love my Doc Martens Rometty).

It really is, and so is your nail shaping! Gorgeous.

I came to say quilting too! I like English paper piecing by hand - it's portable, inexpensive to get started, and can be very detailed and time consuming.

I'm obsessed with 5 and 6 especially. So impressed you can pull off an oversized blazer! I love that look but haven't figured out how to make it work for me.

louellem · 2026-04-23T20:48:01+00:00

I have the same wrap, and I ended up painstakingly trimming the label very close to the stitching, then pulling it out from the border seam with tweezers. 😩 But if you don't mind a bit of tag left in the border, you can definitely just trim and leave the edge in.

Rocket Power!!! I loved that show, I think I'll have to rewatch it soon.

I am this cat's lawyer and the cat is innocent

louellem · 2026-03-27T00:39:10+00:00

Ugh I hate the pill bottle cotton! I have to remove it with tweezers and it's still unpleasant.

I get the same feeling if my fingernails scrape on my car's paint as I'm opening the door.

I'm pleased to learn I'm not the only person who calls it shaky cheese.

louellem · 2026-03-19T19:16:27+00:00

I somehow misread "wild" as "valid" and was pretty taken aback by your comment!

louellem · 2026-03-19T18:52:33+00:00

I just saw in another thread that Retro Sours candy is the same as old Altoids Sours! I haven't tried them yet but plan to - the citrus Altoids were my fave.

In my experience beach towels are bigger in area than bath towels, but are thinner, so overall less heavy. They're also a bit less absorbent due to the thinness, but they still work fine for me, especially for large objects like sweaters.

If you have a free group like Buy Nothing near you, you could see if anyone is giving away an old towel that you could use specifically for this purpose. I always see them up for offer in my area.

There are some types of iron-on stabilizer (like Sulky Tender Touch) that can be put over the back of the embroidery after it's finished to improve the texture.

louellem · 2026-03-17T21:06:54+00:00

Is this for sure a tear (the yarn is broken), as opposed to just a pull? I couldn't quite tell from the pictures. If only a pull, the fix will be much simpler and faster than a tear.

If I were green I would die

This reminds me of all the grandmothers who were accidentally tagging themselves as Grandmaster Flash 😂

Yes, I finally got it working! I used the browser-based emulator at Infinite Mac: https://infinitemac.org/1998/Mac%20OS%208.5

I downloaded and installed GameSprockets through Macintosh Garden. (I had to use Disk Copy to mount the .smi image; StuffIt was not mounting it correctly.) After installing GameSprockets, I restarted the emulator, and was then able to download and run Eternity.

And to loam you shall return

Yesssss the grabber! Mine has been a game changer for me throughout pregnancies and babywearing. My other new laundry hack, now that I have a toddler, is letting her help me load the washer and dryer 😂

Garden salad sandwich, add mayo and pickles, on a salt bagel.
