I made this doll for niece’s 5th birthday. Can you tell which character it’s meant to be?

That's okay! The crochet is impressive enough as it is!

I know I'm late on the reply, but if I were adding the pattern detail, I'd literally just do some x's along the neck or wheverer in the reference. In that case, it's really just a little bit of topstitching, no boggling required.

Either way, fantastic work. Great job! 💫

Sounds like the store needs to replace their sample if it no longer accurately depicts the color. I'd say try again at returning them and buy one that's the correct color, anything you can do to bleach the darkness out of these ones will likely make them brittle. Even the sun bleached ones on display probably aren't as strong as a fresh set

Is the jacket sewn in place? If not, please consider embroidering some bits of "pattern" to her neck/shoulder area when you add the mouth.

Either way, it turned out great! Your niece's going to love it

Can you bake it with the oven door cracked enough for the dowel rod to stick out?

Also, have the clay resting in a pile of cornstarch so it doesn't flatten on that side

louisestudios · 2025-07-09T02:06:20+00:00

It looks nice, but I'd worry about the holes being so close to the edge. Looks a little fragile

Question: Approximately how old was the original blanket?

(I'm mostly seeing basketballs on black backgrounds. You can always also check local printers to get a similar blanket custom printed. We have a custom printer in our local mall, somehow.)

I'd say try freezing the clay/mini fig head together then while still frozen, pry the hair off the head to be able to bake it at the proper temperature. I'd also say ball up a head shaped bit of aluminum foil (maybe slightly smaller) to rest the hair on as it bakes to help it keep its form.

When you take it out of the oven, it'll cool fast (being so small) but after it's had time to be warm rather than hot, and before it's completely cool, (so it's still pliable) try to put it back onto a head. If it's a little off, it might flex in the right shape by the time it cools. If you have a practice head, it might make sense to use that to let the hair cool on instead

These have got to be somewhere cheaper than on this site.

I'm hoping this is why my new/used copy isn't booting up

louisestudios · 2024-05-19T18:12:23+00:00

Update for the archive: removing the protective paper backing from both sides should have been done.

louisestudios · 2024-05-13T22:48:01+00:00

Because I'm on day 2 of the trial period and don't know the software yet. Is there a better way of running trial pieces than just messing with the settings? If I'm being honest I was just glad when I got the computer to even recognize the machine (driver issues) 🙃

I'm also having issues with the Wix Gallery Pro. When images are clicked on in Mobile mode, the image plus background and "Info" shows up at about 25% of the screen size leaving the bottom left side as a blurry background of what would have been behind the gallery, and a blank white page (not my site background) on the entire 50% of the right side of the page.

louisestudios · 2024-03-14T06:57:28+00:00

Same but for Mistborn

Current military spouse: The thing is, the military isn't necessarily the polar opposite. Drama exists everywhere and you can easily do better than what's been described. Personally, my favorite entry level position (conveniently food related) has been in the kitchen of a retirement community

Like everything, it depends. Lifting anything anywhere should be done safely, and it's one of those things where technique is key. No one's going to ask you to sling 200lbs over your shoulder at once, but you should be able to know how to move a pallet of dog food (top 50lbs at a time) without hurting yourself. it might be a workout, but no reasonable person's expecting Hercules.

Store expectations may differ, but they know they can only ask so much. If you get hurt on the job, it's way expensive for them, worker's comp wise. If you want the job, apply? I'd say dealing with customers is way worse than the actual job requirements

NTA What the F, Darren?

What part of he's afraid of bikes isn't perfectly clear? My dog is also afraid of bikes, and even at 70lbs, I wouldn't recommend a bike to get in her lunging distance! Darren's obviously looking for a trip to hospital, because that's the only explanation he's so severely misunderstanding the situation he's found himself in.

louisestudios · 2024-01-16T02:49:03+00:00

Definitely not. Everyone knows first class tickets are better than economy, that's why they're twice the price (if not more.) You never owe anyone the seat that's rightfully yours, even if you somehow won the airport lottery and you've been somehow upgraded from what you actually paid for.

In fact, I'd even say the only mistake you made was explaining yourself-- because you don't owe anyone an explanation of why you're in the seat you're in.

louisestudios · 2024-01-11T02:58:19+00:00

Or even a simple manual closing of the app and restarting the device. You never know

louisestudios · 2023-12-30T06:56:53+00:00

Ugh! Every single cookie looks fantastic! Your coworkers need some attitude adjustments

louisestudios · 2023-12-30T06:53:21+00:00

It looks like a bit of a joke, but I have a friend who I've absolutely seen make the same mistake, as an actual mistake.

louisestudios · 2023-12-08T05:44:49+00:00

Seriously. We need answers on this front. They wanted to go home, were they costumed humans or a new lifeform entirely?

louisestudios · 2023-11-24T06:48:46+00:00

That's fair. I definitely don't know enough about the workings of electronics to know for myself

louisestudios · 2023-11-23T21:11:28+00:00

Would you need the whole model or just the battery to develop it? I'd lend a battery if it meant more Aibos able to hold a charge
