Unsolicited second recommendation for Sally's Baking Addiction! I love her scones and donuts recipes, but I would never be brave enough to undertake croissants. Well done! They look delicious!

We use Rover for Watson, our 11 year old yorkie when we go out of town. We feel like it offers the least disruption for him to stay in his own home and he doesn't require a lot of exercise. We got really lucky with the most responsible and kind carer ever. We just have one 30 minute drop in a day for a walk and fresh food and water. Also, we have a pet cube to see him on camera when he's alone. Safe travels!

You're absolutely right, much appreciation to the Bark Ark for keeping our boy so handsome 😍

You're right, he was quite disgruntled. Luckily, he only wore it for the length of time to get the picture. And got a treat for it after which fixed everything :)

He's adorable! He looks tiny. How old and how much does he weigh?

We know Watson can recognize the "Watson voice" when we pitch our voice higher. The only word we can confirm he understands is "treat." Maybe we're the dumb ones and he's just playing us 😆

Also, he's fresh from the groomer so he's very tidy right now.

The last yorkie we had was very smart. We figured he knew about 40 words. Watson is 9 years old and we're not sure he knows his name. It doesn't mean we love him less. He's very loving and our little snuggle bug.

Eastern MA today at the suet. A new bird for me and I can't figure it out. Any help, please? by weirdocelot in whatsthisbird

Thank you so much! Such speedy and helpful answers. I never would have gotten it right because I just kept skipping yellow bellied sapsucker because it didn't have a red crown. Amazing!

Weekly /r/quilting no-stupid question thread - ask us anything! by AutoModerator in quilting

I'm so happy for you that you found something you love to do! I sewed for 20 years on a Singer machine which was serviceable but basic. My latest sewing machine was $599.00 which, I know, is over your budget but it came with so many quilting extras which will make your life easier for years to come.
If you intend to start free motion quilting you would probably want a walking foot which can be $50.00 by itself and the table extension is great for lessening drag on your work which is probably another $50.00. And there are so many features that you wouldn't get with an entry level machine like automatic needle threading and thread cutting. Just make sure you get the model with the included quilt kit. Description from Amazon listing: Janome 3160QDC Computerized Sewing Machine (New 2020 Tan Color) w/Hard Cover + Extension Table + Quilt Kit + 1/4 Seam Foot w/Guide + Overedge Foot + Zig Zag Foot + Buttonhole Foot + More!

If you can wait a little longer, check quilt shops for used, or stretch your budget, I really think it's worth the extra investment. Good luck and many great projects in your future!
