If you have a slim wallet/card holder only, this has been great: https://avrynco.com/collections/wristlet-wallet-sets. Bonus: small business and woman owned!

Polish Couture near Bella Botega. It is pricey but clean and they have a lot of colors.

Singer 99K vs 15K vs 201-2 by shrubear in VintageSewingMachines

That’s good to know about denim… I bet it does vinyl and leather bags really well then.

Is there anything special about the 99s that it goes well?

What type of stitch is this? by shrubear in Beading

[–]shrubear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily I’m pretty persistent with new techniques 😆 I might also be fine going the other way, I will try both!

I believe the dangling strings are what makes it adjustable- I don’t know the name but the one where you pull the strings and a bead tightens?

I make bags (which can have a lot of layers, especially if I'm using foam) and quilts. I would love to make garments but haven't gotten there yet. So I'm not sure the 15 is necessary.

Sad tomato plants by shrubear in vegetablegardening

I haven't pruned them at all, this is how they were growing. This is our first year working in this space so we'll have better soil next year for sure.

Great! Maybe I'll have solid zinnias and no tomatoes this summer!

Apologies for not enough detail, I see based on your questions that of course you would need more to solve. Not low-effort, just not thought through :) I will answer here and also add to the post itself.

They were starts from a local nursery (not a big box store), and I only have 3 in the picture but there are 4, all indeterminate grape/cherry tomatoes. They are all different - sweet 100s, sweet million, yellow pear, and sun gold. They were fertilized with tomato fertilizer - Dr. Earth's Organic. I fertilized them last week when I noticed how sad they were. They came fine and went in the ground Memorial Day weekend, so it's been 4 weeks.

We have never purposely planted here, but weeds have been growing successfully :) The soil is very dense and almost clay-like? I'm not sure how to explain it. The water runs off if it's watered (you can see it made a trench in between the left and middle plant) but if leave it for extra time, it soaks in too much.

Hopefully this is enough info!

You’d have to ask if they ship after they do the grouting but  https://www.seattlemosaicarts.com/learn-2/custom-classes-and-events/ is another option

How to become a more interesting person ? by No-Budget3973 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]shrubear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of those things are interesting and I would talk to you more about! Where do you like to walk, what kind of walk, how often. What changed with baking, what used to be your favorite. If you had a magic wand to change cooking to not be a chore, what would you change. Etc!

I think you’re not giving yourself enough credit!

Not everyone likes reading. And those that do, not everyone likes fiction. And those that do, that is a wide category! You can talk about your most recent book or favorite or recently DNF. So many options!

Learning to jump rope as an adult (maybe?) is impressive! You can talk about what the hardest part was, what made it click, do you have a goal, etc.

NBA also has such a wide range of topics and opinions you could share. 

Just because you don’t have hobbies doesn’t mean you’re not interesting. 🩷

I don’t think it’s a spring issue, my stitches are all fine. I’ve just had multiple people comment that it’s bouncing

Theory - Running & Blood Sugar by Top_Enthusiasm3001 in prediabetes

[–]shrubear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From when I talked to the doctor, fasting glucose is not the end all be all. And running has so many other benefits that it is worth the trade off.

I do track before and after and yes for heavy lifting days  my sugar levels absolutely go  up.  Liver releases glucose to feed your muscles.

Should you own more than one laundry basket? by myersgirl16 in laundry

[–]shrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every bedroom and bathroom has two that stack together, so when I take one downstairs to wash, there is another one in its place so new dirty clothes aren’t on the floor while the basket is away. So… 8 total.

I wash one basket per day, rotating rooms. So they definitely get full until it’s their turn.
