Kitchenaid’s last FOREVER. I got my red one for my wedding too. My mom insisted I should add one or two expensive items for my parents friends and when one of them gifted it I was floored. Until I got mine I had been using one my mom gave me that was 25 years old. And when I got the new one I gave the old one to my…

I’ve used a couple but the DMC water soluble pen is my fave. Michaels carries them but so does Amazon.

Haha it’s not easy. I once had, no lie, like 30 pics on my phone of two different shades of thread. On white paper, on wood, with flash, without, so on and so on. I’m pretty confident if I had asked Mr Pie “which one” just once more he would have left my Type A ass. 

Hmmm there are a couple grays around 646 and 645 that might work! 

Ahhhhhh the envy is so real!!

Fuck those people, you’re making beautiful things!

Thank you!!!

Woohoo!

Ooo that sounds like fun though! I’ve always been interested in swing dancing, since I was a kid and watched Swing Kids. Sadly Mom and Dad didn’t go for lessons. They wouldn’t let me take fencing after the Princess Bride or capoeira after Only The Strong either. Parents.

Aw I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you can get to a point of being comforted by the adventures you guys had together. 

If you make it with your own hands, it’s a craft.

Craft Thread!

Baby #2 came in April so I didn’t do our huge garden this year, just some tomato and cucumber plants in containers. But holy shit they’re going gangbusters!

Ahhh small world!!

I absolutely know. My first daughter we did get pregnant quickly, I think within 4 months of going off birth control. But my second? Took forever. And someone scared me with stories of “second child infertility” so I thought I needed to use the apps. Drove myself insane to the point where my doc told me to chill the…

Ohhh hun this is going to be no help at all but you need to breathe. My advice is just to not use the app. Mine made me so crazy and stressed that I think it prevented conception. Then when I finally stopped checking and just had sex when we felt like it (and often) boom pregnant.

I’m so very sorry hun, hugs to you and Dad!

Hey all! Normally I do a craft Thread but tonight I need some help for something that’s near and dear to me instead. (Though I would still love to see everything you’re working on.)

In 2016 the Sisters of Mercy announced they were selling the convent and property and no longer wanted to sponsor the school. (They didn’t give the school money but had other affiliation including owning the land and building and staff etc.) McAuley tried to be the only Catholic school in the country to attempt to…

We have to love our brothers and fathers and come to an understanding about how we got here and who we are going to be together.
