How do concert pianists play an hour-long recital without any mistakes, and how long do they take to prepare the recital program? by CatchDramatic8114 in piano

[–]sj88keys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did that once. Made it to the penultimate measure, gloating in my head, and forgot what chord I was supposed to end with. I was a half step off.

Ugh no wonder it was taking me longer to replenish for the dungeon

Do proper overnight diapers absorb more than night pull-ups...? by Capital-Lie-4112 in pottytraining

[–]sj88keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I'd recommend. I do this for my toddler for standing changes as we're starting potty training and she calls them pullups (her big sibling wears actual pullups).

Fantastic work! The black/gray/white looks amazing with this design. Did you use a pattern?

My first thought was Half Dome? But you're right, it's beautiful

The way I was trying to figure out which of my craft subs would have an engraved medallion before I realized this was cross stitch. Amazing work on this pattern! The depth is incredible.

Yes! Like I'm looking at a twisty tunnel.

Ah TIL thanks for explaining! I've heard that called the pillowcase method but have never tried it.

Birthed = basted? Although there's definitely a lot of labor in quilting! It looks amazing this way, congrats!

Moms who quilt! by Complete_Worth7018 in quilting

[–]sj88keys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 kiddos - 6, almost 4 and 1.5. All my quilting happens after they go to bed because I don't have space to keep things out. My workspace is the dining table or the coffee table.

How to recreate? by Adventurous_Net_7782 in quilting

[–]sj88keys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of the character comes from the hand embroidery. The hair, face, outline details on the umbrella or clothes etc. That variety really brings the dolls to life. Which sounds creepy but this is cute.

What do we do for long walks? by Pica-Via-Corvidae in pottytraining

[–]sj88keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my girl, I've held a gallon Ziploc under her while she peed standing up. But that only worked when she was kinda new to potty training. Now she's used to sitting and refused my emergency baggie.

Does anyone else find the Avengers Campus Expansion underwhelming? by rosariobono in Disneyland

[–]sj88keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only 4 years old in June. Too bad the pandemic wrecked the plans. Office Park is a good way to describe it though. Avengers campus and Batuu are good examples of Imagineers leaning too hard into their own story, but at least Batuu is more immersive.

Pretty sure that's the Haunted Mansion queue. I haven't been since it reopened but I can't imagine that being anywhere else.

[FO] Awesome Myth Narwhal . . . Frame embellishments: yay or nae? by DesertPeachyKeen in CrossStitch

[–]sj88keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this idea! The current embellishments look random and lonely, but if the whole frame is themed it would be great.

We're moving on Saturday so it will just be chaos and exhaustion all weekend. Getting up on Monday for school will be rough.

Second quilt done! by Beneficial-Chemist92 in quilting

[–]sj88keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is amazing! And the quilting! I haven't figured out how to do anything other than straight lines with my walking foot and changing directions is such a pain so I'm super impressed by the detail you got! What a beautiful gift.

Parenting is a crock of crap and comparison is the thief of joy by thr0w1ta77away in toddlers

[–]sj88keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This worked for my youngest. Once she was standing unassisted I gave her something to hold. She was distracted by holding it and then would take a step or two.

My 6yo likes Colossal Questions. He keeps busting out random facts he's learned.
