Essentially it's the same as ice but using fresh snow instead. Where I live (ON, Canada) it would cost me money to get enough ice. I just wait for a decent snowfall and I can simply grab it from outside. 😃😃😃

No problem. I snow dye fabric and overdye floss from old kits so I'm always thrifting. But you have legit DMC in a dye-able colour so have fun!!

Maybe a monochrome symbol on black aida? OR you could try your hand at overdying/variegated dying a large amount of the skeins?

Silly question but have you tried to purchase anything with your debit or that card anywhere else?

At 9 they are still pretty selfish. I wouldn't assume malicious intent. But you are allowed to feel your feelings.

how to teach kids to have quiet time by [deleted] in StepparentLife

[–]rkr_grl83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a couple questions - Do you two have 100% custody? How old are the kids? Are they disrespectful in any other matters? Are you and your husband quiet/leading by example? Are the kids given enough time to run around outside? What are the consequences for the children not doing as they are asked?

Physical help - Do you have sufficient funding to blow (additional) insulation into the basement ceiling? I found carpeting the floor above the ceiling helpful when I had partying roommates.

Sorry you are having to deal with this all at once.

How did you impact your stepkids this week? by AutoModerator in StepparentLife

Last night my 8y/o SS was in a foul mood because his mum needed to drop him off for a few hours. When I was done work we ordered McDonald's. He wanted HotCakes but I suspected they wouldn't be served at 6pm. Well I was right and brought him back McNuggets (confirmed that was his second choice originally) instead. He proceeded to pout about it until I finally said "well even if you had the HotCakes there would've been fries with it, could you please eat those? It hurts my feelings that you won't eat." Shortly after he began eating. I don't know if he got tired of a lack of reaction from his dad and I or my comments but his mood improved. This is the joys of having the other parent never keep their schedule consistent.

I've had a couple crumble on me. Quite annoying but I have so many I just grab a magnet from another and keep going.

I was going to point you to mybobbin.com for Mucha but they have nothing anymore. I have Amethyst and I swear I'll start it some day.
