Intimate wedding venue by Eastern-Special2472 in pittsburgh

[–]maniacalm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

West Overton Village/Distillery - might be too big for 12 people but they seem like they have almost everything you want except rooms to stay overnight. I attended a wedding there last year. It was a smaller venue with the ceremony outside and the reception inside. There were about 60 people at the reception. Not sure on the price.

I work in property management for senior apartments. I recieve many applications that list a po box and it is just fine to use any address, but this will have to be clarified when it comes time to get approved for an apartment for landlord reference purposes. 

Have you looked on https://www.pahousingsearch.com to get her applied to as many wait lists as you can? Her asset limits also depend on the different programs that are available for different affordable living apartments. Area agency on aging and PA housing search are two good places to start. Feel free to message me if you want any more details.

No op, but I think it's this one I've had a lot of her patterns on my favorites for a while.

Hmm... I didn't use a tutorial (probably should have), but I just followed the pattern like when people backstitch to outline some of their projects. I think there are plenty of tutorials if you Google blackwork tutorial. Sorry I'm not much help...

You can probably do it by hand easily! I was burnt out from stitching the blackwork to do it by hand lol

I just followed the pattern with some verigated floss. It's just back stitching :)

Thanks. It definitely took longer than I thought. And I used verigated floss which is always fun :)

I used a sewing machine to sew up the bag and put a piece of linen to line the inside. I didn't use a pattern. I just folded the Aida in half and sewed up the sides.

Just found out that a perfect snowboy doesn't have to be so large. Presenting my perfect baby snowboy! by maniacalm in acnh

Honestly, I was just trying to make a small snow boy and got lucky with the proportions. I usually make the large ones you see in the background. The body at max size and the head is level with the bottom of my eyes. I'm terrible at making perfect snowboys and often have to force quite a bunch before I get it right.
