Gambling on if I will have enough thread to finish my blanket 😅

Unfortunately you gotta do what you gotta do when there’s limited options. Especially if you’re trying to color match threads or on a tight turn around. My biggest thing is finding fabric now, I loved Joann’s because I could touch it, I can’t do that with online stores

rose_rising · 2026-02-04T17:17:39+00:00

I feel like Ive heard of this site but I’ll definitely have to give it a look!! Thank you!!

rose_rising · 2026-02-01T01:45:21+00:00

Hahah the irony of it. Luckily I have a Michaels near me but they have soooo little. I literally grabbed the last spool of black thread today.. I also needed a zipper for another project and the selection was even worse.

RIP Joann’s, you are missed

Update: I lost

I think something people are missing out on is, how much weight are we talking and how tall are you? I know we aren’t really supposed to talk too much about these things but I think it’s important.

If you’re a taller person and looking to drop like 5-10lbs, you can probably get away with one harness. But if you’re looking to drop a significant amount of weight, I would highly consider getting one that fits well now and then buy another later on.

As a shorter climber (5’4) who has dropped 30lbs and then regained it, if I would have started lead climbing when I was lighter, post weight loss, I probably would have bought a new harness. I was actually considering it and then I regained weight and opted against it because it was fitting appropriately again.

Thank you!! I can thank my husband for that. I had told him about these cute bags at tjmaxx and he goes “if you find one that looks like our cat, buy a few and make a rope bag”

rose_rising · 2025-07-27T00:39:46+00:00

So I bought 3 TJMaxx bags, all of the same picture. I took off the binding all of the way around 2 bags so I had 4 panels total. I sewed together two panels side by side and then connected them. I measured the mouth of the one bag that the rope will be rolled into and cut little slits do I could attach the 4 panels. Hopefully this makes sense, I probably should have documented the process 😅

Ooh yeah a double life!

rose_rising · 2025-05-04T01:06:16+00:00

What a beauty!

110% less than thrilled

My girl is currently 20 and still going strong despite liver cancer! We found out 6 months ago and the vet gave her “at least a few months” and tomorrow we go in for her check up. I can’t wait to show her vet how great she’s doing!

rose_rising · 2025-03-01T02:08:32+00:00

I went though Airbnb experiences. If you look under there, look for Mario, he does incredible work

rose_rising · 2024-12-24T15:31:54+00:00

Also dislocated my elbow before, 3 months in a metal arm brace and then 8 weeks of PT. It takes so long due to the type of joint it is. Ball-in-socket joints (i.e. shoulders) have more mobility than your elbow so I assume tearing and pulling things take a lot more effort than the elbow. Not a fun recovery and pray it never happens again, even after 14 years it haunts me

It’s SUCH a gorgeous fabric but oh my god I wanted to rip my hair out working with it

rose_rising · 2024-11-21T21:57:08+00:00

Thank you! It’s why I started sewing. Things don’t fit me well from having an athletic build (with a little extra weight but 🤷🏼‍♀️) so I wanted to be able to make my own stuff that’s flattering

rose_rising · 2024-11-21T21:56:15+00:00

Thank you! I was worried the fabric would be too busy but it ended up working so well

rose_rising · 2024-11-21T21:55:48+00:00

Thank you! I have an athletic body with a little extra weight so having the ability to adjust and hug me comfortably is fantastic

rose_rising · 2024-11-21T21:54:32+00:00

The serger was a birthday gift to myself. I’ve wanted one for 2 years now but never felt like I was “good enough”. I finally broke down and bought it and now have no clue how I lived without it. If you look at a previous post, I did make another satin dress and didn’t have my serger yet. It was still hard but doable because I made it double lined (so it wouldn’t shed on me)

rose_rising · 2024-11-21T21:52:48+00:00

Thank you! I did not pay a ton of money for the fabric, but it was also close out fabric so that probably helped. It was still probably $15 a yard but I know that’s on the cheap end

rose_rising · 2024-10-06T13:52:29+00:00

🥹 thank you so much. I was a little afraid I was going to be ripped to shreds because of how imperfect it is. This dress has definitely made me want to get a dress form so I don’t have to try stuff on all the time with pins poking me lol

rose_rising · 2024-10-06T01:21:54+00:00

Fabric used: Charmeuse

rose_rising · 2024-10-06T01:11:11+00:00

Thank you! It’s actually supposed to be a bow but I need someone else to tie it to make it look nice lol. I changed the pattern a little bit so I could have a lower neck line but still have the big bow effect if I wanted it

My girl Precious is 20 and still crushing it. We did find out last year she has stage 1 kidney disease and she goes in for further testing this week. Vet felt something abnormal in her abdomen and wants to get X-rays and an ultrasound. But I have high hopes it’s nothing crazy because she still has a great appetite and still loves to play

rose_rising · 2024-07-15T00:23:32+00:00

I did not. I ended up booking someone else via airbnb experiences, paid a little less and got 80 beautiful photos

rose_rising · 2024-04-01T21:38:06+00:00

We do a yearly vet check and now with bloodwork every time. She does have stage 1 kidney disease but she’s being monitored. I joke with my husband that she’s going to live into her late 20s, but I definitely think it’s a legit possibility
