Panda parts delivered to his mother for his dad to assemble, as I still don't have a yarn needle, or the money for one. He might wind up being a heavy metal panda, as one of the eye patches was heart shaped...

Balance... elusive sprite! How'd the shopping go?

Yeah....balance didn't happen. I overloaded my brain and just played video games instead. (Did work on the fox some before work this morning though.)

Shopping was okay. Didn't get as much as I should have, but it was just a quick trip. Mainly got some salad kits, tomatoes, and yogurt.

"I made a snake fwiend!"

Awww, well, at least you got something done. Have you ever tried using Greek yogurt instead of mayo in things?

Snake! Awww!

My friend brought me some knitting looms today. She asked me if I knew what they were, and I told her Custard was made with that kind of thing.

Kaderin Triste · Posted 05-16-2022, 10:29 PM

No, but only because I don't really make stuff that requires mayo. Tbh, I think the last time I bought mayo was 5+ years ago and it went bad before I got 1/4 of the way through the jar.

Lol. Yep. A snake of the "danger noodle" variety. (A rattlesnake.)
It startled my friend and I while we were walking on a trail today. And is actually the second time we've ever encountered one.

Awww heck yeah, looms! They're spreading! XD

LOL I saw one when I was twelve. After I nearly sat on the poor thing.

I just hope I can keep with it if I try making something. I have never been able to stick to spool knitting projects.

Kaderin Triste · Posted 05-18-2022, 11:00 AM

Time for some video chat loom projects?
Lol
I've never used the spools but they seem pretty limited in their function. I'd probably lose interest in those too.

Ugh. Getting really frustrated trying to find cute vintage style shirts.
Bought a couple on Amazon (because they were cheap but still looked cute) but the size charts (and just...being made in a country with different general sizes as well) make it almost impossible to get a good fit. Like the best one of the two I got is a medium and is almost too big still in the chest, shoulders, and arms, but a near perfect fit in the waist and hips. So I could maybe try a small, but what if it doesn't fit at all?

So then I also picked up a couple shirt from an Etsy shop and they fit (I assume though it was hard to tell for sure for a reason I'll mention soon) very well in the chest, shoulders, and waist, but were a bit too short even with me wearing a high-waisted skirt , and the sleeves were so tight that I couldn't even get the cuffs up past my elbows. Like...the picture of them showed looser, long (about elbow-length) sleeves but they were so freaking tight. Like...sorry that my chest and waist measurements are misleading, but I'm actually a pretty tall person with arms bigger than a broom handle.
Ugh.

But I can't really find any vintage blouse patterns that I like either so even making my own is getting to be a nightmare.

Anyway, rant over.

Tldr; vintage style shirts are so hard to find at affordable prices and I can't find any patterns I like either. XP

So....how's everyone else doing?

That could be interesting.
Well, with the cords made from the spools you can do things like rugs, or even toys by sewing them together. If you can stick to making the cord long enough.

Sorry for not replying earlier. I had my first work related trip, which included a three day stint in selling at the booth that started early and ended late, a drive there through a rain storm in the dark, and a little bit of getting lost. Also much geeking over beautiful old buildings.

In reality, I don't know how well actual video chat would work for me as I really only have my phone so it would be harder to actually see with.

Oooh that sounds like a pretty fun trip!

Tam I am · Posted 05-25-2022, 10:23 PM

Ahhh. Yeah, squinting's no fun. I did a lot of it through a rain lashed windshield on Thursday night, and I still can't see to read very well.
