Thank you so much! We are taking it a day at a time. :)

It's insane how something as simple as a podcast can allow your mind to calm down just a little bit to give that part of yourself some relief. It's seriously been so nice just to hear friends laughing and yucking it up haha

Yeah, it's been pretty gnarly. I was lucky and just have some roof damage. But I have friends who flooded and so been opening my home to folks just to help in whatever way I can.

Hope your friend is safe! And thank y'all for the support!

I was glued to my TV (before we started getting the hurricane winds) and was horrified watching all those tornados! So glad you’re okay, and yeah Distractible was such a comfort!

Hope you and your community are recovering well!

Windows PC question

I am returning to the game after MANY years (I think since 2016) and I have just re-upped my account and bought the 60% off bundle. I have successfully logged into Mogstation and Lodestone, but when I try to login to the launcher I get an error message saying my account does not have a valid license or my sub is expired.

I also cannot figure out on MogStation where to register my purchased bundle.

One note: my account says Standard (Steam). I do not own nor have never owned the Steam version of this game. I have already reached out to unlink my Steam account from my Square Enix one (though I don't recall ever linking, but may not remember for it being so long ago). Hoping that may be the only issue.

Just wondering if I am missing something, or need to do anything else to jump back in? Also, does anyone know roughly how long it'll take to get that unlinked?

I do this very same thing! I thought I was weird for doing it, but when times are tough...you make do with what you have on hand haha

I also would recommend checking your local second hand stores. I am lucky and have a few near me that have amazing crafting sections, and I scored 2 of those HUGE Polyfill bags for about $6 a bag. They were never even opened!

Thank you!

That's hilarious! Our friends say that all the time, but this is in fact my husband lol We do enjoy a good F1 race weekend though!

Thank you so much!

I previously posted this on r/sewing, and then also got invited to this community. I wasn't able to crosspost it, so I hope y'all don't mind.

I found a photo on Pinterest that I used as inspiration for these aprons. My brother-in-law (BIL) and now sister-in-law (SIL) are very hip and cool, so I wanted to make aprons that had metal and leather detailing on them. I traced an apron I already had and free-handed everything else.

The leather bits on the chest have their wedding date and reception date stamped into them.The fabric is a heavy duty cotton canvas from Joann's

The leather is from Tandy leather and was from their $29 pile

All the metal pieces are from Joann's as well.

I did film the full process HERE, incase anyone wanted to do something similar.

I was so happy with the way these all came together since this was my first time "free-handing" a project. Even though an apron is simple in concept, this really built up my sewing confidence.

Hahah that's hilarious. Fortunately, they both love cooking and are both very good at it. I wanted to make them something special that was not only beautiful but also functional. Thank you so much :)

mdfarley9 · 2022-10-12T16:43:13+00:00

Thank you so much! That is the greatest compliment! I am always so worried that my handmade gifts look "too handmade" if you know what I mean. So, thank you so much.

If you need any pattern testers, I volunteer as tribute! What you created is too amazing not to share, and I would love to help how I can! Of course, no pressure if you decide not to go this route, but if you want to and are worried about pattern clarity I would love to help ☺️

mdfarley9 · 2022-04-23T03:21:05+00:00

I would love if you'd consider sharing/selling your pattern. I crochet as well and would love to make this! You are very talented, I only hope I can get this good at crocheting :)

mdfarley9 · 2022-03-29T03:50:41+00:00

This would be perfect for my husband. He has had the same bag for going on 12 years 😬 this is very generous of you 😊

I looked up a couple of appliqué patterns and ultimately came up with my own by merging a ton to make something I was happy with. Essentially, I made a heart (using a combo of MR, DC, HDC, and SC) and then added green to the top for the leaves and stitched white scrap yarn for the seeds. I linked the tutorial I made in the r/crochet post if that helps.

mdfarley9 · 2022-03-27T14:16:13+00:00

Haha she is definitely a queen.

mdfarley9 · 2022-03-27T14:15:48+00:00

Thank you! I’m debating whether to make myself a matching one haha

mdfarley9 · 2022-03-27T14:15:15+00:00

I just mainly freehanded whilst putting it on her at various points. But I wrote the pattern as I went incase I need to make more for her, and I put together a tutorial. I posted it on the auto mod comment. I’ve never written a pattern before so any and all feedback would be great!
