Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Oh, I see. I am doing crochet with beads now. It’s fun!
I am using nylon thread for it’s durability. I like cotton but not for my recent projects.
I am also working on some projects with wood. I like painting. I’ve painted them, added hooks for keys and other things.
Every time I finish something my daughters want it and I have to start again to make one for myself.
Just thought of something. Look for conversion references to clarify the differences.
Wonderful news about the new addition in your family. Babies are so sweet.
we poor Canadians 🤯
So happy for you and your family, CWillie! 🍼
I did get the blanket finished Send, I think I posted that somewhere??? I probably won't get down to see her for a few weeks, and then it will be a nail biting drive down with the rest of the family (BIL driving on the freeway 😰)
Nephew 'thinks' it's DONE, when it all has just begun!!!
🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🐥🐤🐥🐤
Did you get a blanket made for the gift?
In typical male fashion nephew's text was brief - "Done. All good. No pictures yet".
Always good to hear the expectant news of a new baby being born
to your Nephew this morning, CWillie!
I would appreciate your contribution to answering this short survey!

Congrats to your nephew Willie!
The one who moved away (nephew#2) and his GF are still carrying on with their long distance relationship. He's really racking up the air miles 😶.
is this the nephew that moved far away for work?
I think the bubble quilts are cute and look comfy but I wonder if a baby could suffocate if they turned over face down on it, since it so fluffy.
It’s just that I’ve had two life changing events and my husband is failing to show the appropriate amount of awe and enthusiasm.
A couple of days ago I googled “How to change sheets on a split king adjustable bed”. I love love love “clean sheet night”. The first night on clean, crisp sheets. Newly clean sheets actually rates pretty high up on my list of Pleasures in Life, in general.
But with my bad back, changing the sheets on our split king is a real pain - nearing an ordeal...
So, just out of curiosity I googled it.
OMG! The solution was so brilliant and so easy - it nearly took my breath away. When I think back in the last several years fighting with this chore and then seeing such an easy remedy - I feel both amazed AND stupid. But overall - happy.
So, then I thought “Why not? Let’s take this for a ride...” and I googled “How to fold a fitted sheet”.
I watched a two minute video twice and voila! I tried it and it was so easy! The sheet folded near perfect.
It’s seems that all the answers in life can be found on either Google or YouTube. Utterly amazing!!!
Thanks to the good advice of people here I abandoned my knitted blanket and went with crochet. That also ran into a snag or two but on the whole crochet is much more forgiving and my baby blanket is finished - dusty rose with an off white picot border.
Yes, looks super comfy.
What’s a bubble quilt? I will have to google it. Have you made one?
Have you seen the DIY Bubble Quilts for babies/toddlers?
Cute to make for your niece maybe?
