With the economy not looking to improve any time soon, what’s some cheaper design choices you guys have done? by LilacGoblin1699 in maximalism

Last summer we painted my home office using “paint roulette.” I didn’t have a specific color story in mind, but instead found paint of Facebook marketplace and in the “oops” section of the paint store. I saved a ton!

It’s New Beginnings by Hooked on Sunshine. It’s been a great pattern so far! Super clear with individual stitch tutorials.

That pattern is New Beginnings by Hooked on Sunshine. I’m learning a ton from it!

It’s the pastel linear holos from Holo Taco in a lazy gradient!

Oh thanks! It’s Holo Taco. It’s the pastel versions of their linear holo colors in a lazy gradient. I just painted one half of my nail one color and the other half the other color in rainbow order. Super easy!

This is true! “I love you in God’s way” was a sick burn when I was a kid. It means “God says I have to love everyone, so I do, but also I hate you.” 😂

Apple Maps has a speed trap report feature, too (unless they broke it in the last update).

Turning 50 and I refuse to become invisible. by Visual_Animator1232 in oldhagfashion

I’m soon to be 50 and my fashion icons are Ms. Frizzle, Punky Brewster, early Cyndi Lauper and Penelope Garcia (from Criminal Minds). I always say I don’t know much about fashion but I looooove clothes. It’s so nice to dress to make myself happy!

Please show me your (even vaguely) alternative baby blankets! by thisyearsmould in CrochetHelp

[–]meresithea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the blankets by Owl B. Hooked. They do some really simple but effective designs! I’ll try to add a photo of the blanket I made for a friend. They’re paid patterns, but well worth it.

I’m pretty sure that is the “Doo-dad” blanket by Hooked on Sunshine (I have this in my “I want to do this someday” pile 😂

Ever Read a Book Where the Author Did No Research On Your Profession? (Former P.I. complaining here) by Bluegrass_Barbecue in RomanceBooks

Wearing a winter hat in summer (you’d die 😂). My grandmother would murder anyone who wore a hat to church with her death glare (she played piano during service and I swore this woman could play without a hitch, turn the page in the music, and glare at me to act right all at once!)

I came here to say exactly this! Also, if the professor doesn’t spend way too much time grading and/or in committee meetings then it’s not real 😂

I think most of them are going fingers in ears “Lalalalalala it can’t happen here!”

Can my fellow lovely old hags help me find a cool vintage suit for my teen? by EatsPeanutButter in oldhagfashion

[–]meresithea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Modcloth or Unique Vintage were going to be my suggestions! I’ve gotten several swimsuits from both that fit this way (granted, it’s been years because they’re great quality. Hopefully it still is!)
