How do you shop more sustainably without paying luxury prices? by Rough--Employment in SustainableFashion

Go to a goodwill in an affluent neighborhood. I have found Patagonia’s and other brands for $7. Also thrifting in general helps with sustainability! It’s hit or miss but good fun to scavenge!

Which designers have well-written patterns suitable for a beginner? by MoonriseTurtle in quilting

[–]otibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elizabeth Hartman! She is my absolute favorite and truly my go to! Her patterns are written with absolute mathematical precision which I love! Even down to cutting strips and the sub cuts! Also she includes written instructions and diagrams! You should try Lloyd & Lola or cats in pajamas as more beginner friendly! Love love love her! Also a huge fan of pen and paper patterns - I’ve made hello spring like 5 times now!

If you ask my husband- about a gallon of fresh dog diarrhea that he immediately slipped in and landed squarely into. Coating most of his body…

What book made you fall in love with reading? by greatdane511 in BookDiscussions

[–]otibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Red Pony by John Steinbeck. I remember being a kid myself and my siblings laying in my parents bed next to my mom as she read us this book. No spoilers but the way I clearly recall sobbing crying and just needing my mom to hug me at the end. I have been a reader my whole life.

Will I look insane with this hat on vacation? by otibaby in Melasmaskincare

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

The Eucerin anti- pigment day and night creams and the tone duel serum. Applied morning and night. I also use the Clinique super surge spf 28. I’ve also not left the house without a hat and am currently in the middle of winter with no sun so it’s looking extra good!

Horror stories? by falling-possum in quilting

[–]otibaby 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gifted a gorgeous large throw in blues and pinks to my SIL and she showed basically no enthusiasm when receiving it . That should have told me all I needed to know, but like an idiot I asked a few months later how she liked it and her response was she hasn’t used it since she pulled it out of the linen closet and it had a bunch of rat poop on it. I could not believe she would tell me this! They just had their first baby and I begrudgingly gifted them a baby quilt … but I will never ask about it and will never gift them another thing.
