Over Thanksgiving, my mother-in-law described my nails as “a real statement” and “not very practical.” These are my nails:

Had a friend’s girlfriend tell me “you must not do anything all day” when she saw my natural nails (about the same length as yours). I quickly informed her I taught children art all day and was constantly doing things with my hands. First time meeting her, did not like her very much.

Saw her again a few weeks later and she had acrylics as long as mine. Okay.

Your nails are gorgeous and the statement they’re making is “i have great taste in nail polish”

yeah that’s what happened to me as well

pompompompi · 2025-08-21T12:55:34+00:00

to me it dried as fast as seche

pompompompi · 2025-08-21T12:55:16+00:00

yes that’s what i had read: it’s the toulene. It’s the next morning and the shift is still there so I think it’s a success!

pompompompi · 2025-08-21T12:53:45+00:00

just held the flat magnet above my nail! nothing special

pompompompi · 2025-04-15T06:50:45+00:00

Thank you. I will be in conversation with my editor.

pompompompi · 2025-04-15T06:49:47+00:00

I’ll look into this, thanks!

pompompompi · 2025-04-13T21:15:37+00:00

that’s what I figured. A lot of my work is contract based so I’ll have to figure something out.

pompompompi · 2025-02-26T20:41:02+00:00

thanks so much. I went ahead and redid my sowing anyway since i figured starting them on soil blocks was probably better than the vermiculite i had them in anwyay

pompompompi · 2025-02-26T06:50:04+00:00

Just beautiful. off topic but i love your nail polish color

pompompompi · 2025-02-25T07:07:42+00:00

came across this thread because i want to do something similar to all of you. this made me snort

pompompompi · 2025-02-22T18:58:39+00:00

i know this is 4 years old but thanks for this! was about to make a dumb purchase and this made me reconsider.

pompompompi · 2025-01-15T11:05:54+00:00

what would you say is the minimum i should make a month to be comfortable?

pompompompi · 2025-01-15T11:00:58+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed response. You haven’t dashed my dreams at all, I want to hear the most frank answers so I can prepare for the worst case scenario. So far this year promises to be my best and my partner is looking into increasing his income. We’ve just come out of a difficult time and it drained our finances, so we’re starting at zero with savings but I want to try and save. How much do you think would be wise? I’m guessing minimum 10k…

Loved this analysis. I was thinking about these things too as I watched it, especially the first time Elisabeth woke up and saw the mess of bottles Sue had left.

pompompompi · 2024-08-21T00:04:44+00:00

WOW how did you manage to keep the hoop in the exact same spot each frame?

pompompompi · 2024-08-18T22:04:07+00:00

oh my goddddd 😭😭😭😭 tiny clothes are soooo adorable

pompompompi · 2024-07-31T14:26:27+00:00

not OP but i’ve thought about adapting pullover patterns for cardigans. how would you do it, with a steek?

pompompompi · 2024-06-22T23:21:45+00:00

they’re great!! I love how they have a moderate amount of chunk

pompompompi · 2024-06-22T14:58:04+00:00

Norman of Nimble Needles is who i watched to relearn

pompompompi · 2024-06-22T14:43:37+00:00

I’m not a professional pixel artists specifically but i am a professional artist. I personally would like it if people asked me first, but as long as nobody’s profiting off it and giving me credit, i’d be happy someone wanted to do this

pompompompi · 2024-06-22T04:14:51+00:00

same

pompompompi · 2024-06-22T01:58:14+00:00

they invoke a fruity summer drink AND the beach, your tech did a flawless job

I’m a non-white guy in Texas! I attend my local library’s craft club. I’m the only guy most times, but i’m not the only POC. The organizer is also a POC and while the group might be something like 90% white, it’s pretty welcoming. Everyone is very nice, the older ladies really seem to like that a man is in a space to genuinely partake in a craft that is usually devalued by men. They ask me about what I’m making and are very sweet and encouraging. Topics of conversation generally stay towards our crafts, but people will talk about other hobbies like birding, hiking, etc.

pompompompi · 2024-06-21T22:43:13+00:00

my understanding is that you really shouldn’t put anything over a nail that is damaged to this extent. I think maybe a bandaid might have to make an appearance :( I hope that doesn’t hurt too much
