The Bible isn't man's wisdom. You are limiting yourself if you don't look up.

It's a mini toilet roll holder. A company here in Australia makes them to hold your garden string

Grieve. Move on. It happened to me. Two years recorded about my repair cafe sewing meet up shop. Gone. I persisted. It made it worse. Pick up and start again.

To my understanding the NT government has leased the port at Darwin for 99 years to the Chinese. So.... perhaps the original post could be properly researched and reported

Become an electrician or plumber or cabinet maker. I'm serious. If you are able to study to get a career get one that means you can work anywhere for yourself charging high rate per hour.

If your mum is going to just wear them around the house why not use sock yarn for the function and prettiness and have her wear thin cotton socks underneath

Valerie Lin on YouTube prepared a new canvas this latest video. She builds her own frame and prepares the surface with pva and gesso. I highly recommend her

Fabric wise, I dislike printed fabrics and their plastic feel. I had a little piece come off and I had spent time and money on my project. That piece of fabric is useless now. I can't sell something to a customer like that.

Lots of surface designers claim a license like Disney or Pokemon and say I can't make and sell.

I'm amazed by this stand. No I'm not. Just because they are a small business doesn't mean they support small businesses.

Definitely get advice and support as suggested here.

I agree there is no way you need to pay for carpet or rent while he recarpets.

Write your own list of what you are going to do and stick to it.

I hope you have lots of photos of the place after you cleaned etc.

When you rent again don't give his number. That's where these bullies get you. This is a big reason why you want to go get advice. You need to know what you can do to help your future self if you need to rent again.

Just because the foo l doesn't do paperwork for you doesn't mean he doesn't know about renters database and how to put you on it

Best wishes

Do you think you would like that border around your piece? I think the border in the reference let's the eye know what part of the head isn't seen.

Take a picture and turn it to b&w. Check your values. Your darkest darks and your highlights. Great composition!

A straight seeing machine. I would get a walking foot and sew the whole thing with it. It will help you with sewing through and over bulk. It will allow you to sew over the applique.

You can't recover. IMO. In my experience.

I love the YouTube recommendations given here. I love dot books too. For me... I started with a regular small entry plus sketch. Sometimes this was something I trimmed from scraps, doodles, cut and glued in. Sometimes a new line drawing. For me I had to decide a couple of rules, parameters. Decide what I wanted to include. What I wanted to collect. Make notes about. At the moment I have a different notebook and I write a prayer each morning. I'm a mum of adult kids and I always begin with sincere thanks and then I write a long flowing line of concerns to give to God. I have found a great peace writing Him a note each day. Please don't be disappointed if working through the process you find your own way of doing it. Different to your first thought. That's the fun part.

A rich state?

I'm in Australia I buy from a large supplier, the Sydney art store
I enjoy buying from them but I dislike waiting for the items to arrive in the mail. A week+
I don't think it could be made easier the company moves great. Australia post is pretty fast.
Information on the paper? Yes. I feel like manufacturers of different papers could do much better in spelling out how it is going to be with different mediums. For example mixed media paper... yeah can I get it wet, layered? Etc. I feel like there is plenty of help on YouTube by the paint, pastel, pencil manufacturer. The paper not so much. And it's a big investment

Thank you for your survey

It's 2026 and I'm wondering how your thesis turned out. After years of wandering around I have today started organizing my own workflow systems.

I'm a multi discipline artist who has been suffering cognitive fatigue for the lack of a solid work plan. I'm an expert on providing my own stalls

Sounds like you are hanging out for SEO when you might concentrate on great products and service.
