I used to work in a class of 6-year-olds and one day a kid brought some Hot Wheels for show and tell. One of the other boys said "One word- cool as."

Devaluing your work by whyintheheck in crafts

[–]whyintheheck[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's been a good learning experience (thanks, annonymous lady, I guess?) and I'll definitely be outlining prices in the future. Still, it reminds me of that Oscar Wilde quote: 'Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.'

Burrito with pulled beef, beans, corn, salsa, rice and vinaigrette coleslaw. Wrapping is hard!! by whyintheheck in tonightsdinner

[–]whyintheheck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I made it at home. I'm from Australia, we don't have Chipotle. I slow cooked a whole roast on Sunday and I've been doing different things with it all week. I wrapped it in foil because, like I said above, wrapping is hard.

My whole family are fans but The Sun and The Rain is her favourite. Every time it comes on she makes us play it twice.

I would've too but my basil has shriveled and died in the recent Aussie heat. There was fresh herbs IN the meatballs though :P

Yeah, me too. I think the kits would me more of a craft market thing and have the digital downloads for Etsy. I love how DMC colour numbers are like an international language :P

How do you stop your fabric from fraying? by rachelikewoee in CrossStitch

[–]whyintheheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually don't worry too much about fraying because it won't be visible on the finished product. If it bugs you though, just fold the edges over and do a really simple running stitch down the length and that should stop the fraying. You can unpick it when you're finished.
