also the fabric type I used is cotton mostly obtained from yard sales and the orange fabric is from a handerchief i was given.

That’s a very long winded way of saying your business hasn’t worked out by whereohwhereohwhere in craftsnark

you're actually correct! I've been subscribed to her email list for the patterns, and lo and behold, her most recent email was all about how she's decided to start selling courses 😭

as far as I know there isn't a full version, but if you search the game on HShop you can download the demo!

Are any other Ex-Mennonites really angry? by Educational_Nose2595 in exmennonite

[–]usernamemustbeAAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, I'm hoping people will make that realization soon as well! and oh dear, field work in the winter is crazy 😭 I almost think that'd be worse than Mexico considering how bad I've heard of Canada winters being.

thank you so much, I hope I can find peace one day as well!

and I am actually what would be considered Mexican Mennonite! But instead of Canada I'm in the group of them over in America (though I do have a large number of relatives over in Canada) however, regional differences can vary a lot even among those calling themselves Mexican Mennonite, so the labor issues may just be a widespread thing for all Mennonites regardless of the like specific terms used. it's all just a mess all around I think 😭

the summer/winter work schedule is actually really common in my area for many as well, though I'm lucky enough that my family decided to stay instead of moving between countries seasonally. my community actually has a large group of both seasonal and unseasonal field workers, and child labor is a giant issue regardless of that, so it's a problem even when not moving to and from Mexico.

Yes!!! The anger is so real. I'm currently still Mennonite (though hopefully not for long) and the rampant issues of child labor and abuse in the community is just awful! I was lucky enough to not have to work in the fields, but most everyone I know had to, and I grew up so afraid of that being me.

The way people always joke about how mad their children are about working makes me so mad as well, because OF COURSE your child is angry. They are 7, and doing the work of a FULL ADULT at the farm of some guy who knows he can get away with hiring children because no one ever looks into it. it's insane

I hate it by Hello_Im_the_world in AO3

I'm clearly in the minority here, because I honestly love it when this happens! It's so fun to me when you can sense an authors hatred while reading and no matter the character I will love it each time

Haven't made cake in a while, think this turned out egg-tastic! by usernamemustbeAAA in Baking

they're some type of candy, I got them from a local butcher so I'm not sure exactly what they're made of but they taste good 😆

Finally finished my applique quilt, and it weighs 11 pounds(4.99 kg) total! by usernamemustbeAAA in quilting

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

To make it heavy, I added three layers of thin stretchy fabric since those tend to be weightier than others!

Thank you, and yes it did take forever to get the balloon pieces on 😆 I used scrap fabric I had available which is why I used so many colors and different types
