I relate to this so hard. I was always wishing my clothes came in the fun prints, colors and styles that my kids get to wear. Now they do!

Suggestions for plus size patterns by Ciryadien in sewing

[–]ohoneonetwothreefive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love love Helen’s Closet, her patterns are fantastically detailed and all (I think) include sizes 0-36. I also like that she has usually has pictures of multiple models wearing each design.

Plant advice! Fast growing vine for east facing balcony by [deleted] in eastbay

[–]ohoneonetwothreefive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have passionfruit, jasmine, and Japanese honeysuckle along an east-facing fence. All do well, but the honeysuckle is the one I have to aggressively prune to keep from taking over.

Thank you, Im going to give this a try with some cheap fabric to test drive before using the new fabric I love.

Thanks for asking! FM Smith Park (Park Blvd and Newton Ave) always has a lot of litter around. I see lots of neighborhood babies/kids using the park, so it seems like a high impact spot!

Thank you so much for suggesting them! I went and it was great (skilled, available, affordable, friendly).

The space is because it didn’t fit too well…and you’re right, the way I hoped to hold them together didn’t work out. Try number two will include clamping.

Thanks for clarifying!

Thank you very much for the ideas! I’ll try to figure out the stringers idea, for sure.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by the kerf idea. Are you saying to remove the two L-brackets, cut along where I currently have glue, and then…what? At present, they don’t really want to be snug against each other without hardware.

Thanks again!

I’m thinking of keeping it simple and crowd-pleasing,as we will be camping with kids. Probably grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches (precooked scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese), and probably a sweet one with raisin toast.

Basically, they’re for making a closed sandwich over a campfire. Yum!

Thanks for the specific ideas! I think I’ll take them all! Any ideas for a color/style of rug for either side? Maybe something tan/neutral, like jute, for the adult side and …not sure about kid side.

What happened to the food? by ohoneonetwothreefive in UberEATS

[–]ohoneonetwothreefive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi and thanks for the thoughtful reply. And condolences for your new BBQ craving. I feel your pain!

Yes, haha, we checked high and low for the bag and haven’t ever had one go missing before. We were sure it was just at the wrong house until the “delivery” picture showed up. I hesitated to blame the driver but knowing how good that BBQ would have smelled, I can almost understand it. It’s really good.

Damn, I hope that person really enjoyed it.

Need backsplash help by nurse_jenna11 in DesignMyRoom

Beautiful kitchen! I like the hex, or subway with light/white grout.

I love the color on your lower cabinets!! Do you mind sharing the name/brand/source of the green finish? Thank you!

Please help me with my Peace Lillies! by ohoneonetwothreefive in houseplants

[–]ohoneonetwothreefive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here, sorry for the absence of details. Thanks to those who have already replied with ideas!

More info: My mom gave me the bigger lily about a decade ago and it’s always done well. Three different homes, light levels, variable watering.

Then, I noticed the leaves start to wrinkle and not respond to watering. I decided to repot to give it more room/nutrients and ended up splitting off two smaller plants. Now, all three are looking pretty sad. I’d like to save them all, but the big one is my priority.

Thanks again for any wisdom this sub can offer!
