Just Create - Giant Chest (not a Mimic) edition

[silvercat17]

It's another weekend! And I'm continuing to dm a DnD adventure so I won't be around much.

What have you gotten done? What do you need support on? What do you want to share?



(surprise, it totally was a Mimic)

"Done"? What is "done"?

I've made some progress on Fabulous Women In History (counted cross stitch), and I'm getting the hang of stitching on linen again.

I finally cut my hair! It's still long enough to put in a ponytail (just). It looks much tidier and is significantly less annoying to take care of. Yes, I used the fabric scissors. They're MY fabric scissors so no one has to kill anyone.

Another accomplishment - can't remember if I mentioned this one already - a few weeks ago I yeeted SIX BAGS OF OLD STUFF to Goodwill, plus 3 or 4 actual bags. I've started another box of stuff to donate. I'm creating space!

I've been insanely stressed at work. Our team is finally staffed up and we have some folks who are good at process and interested in moving future projects forward. BUT FIRST, THE TURMOIL. I think I need some support in not feeling bad when things go to shit that aren't my fault.

Honestly I could also use some support in my stalled sewing project. Anyone know how to install a V-neckband when making a shirt with a stretch knit, for the spatially hopeless? Want to try and explain it to me? (Complaints about the pattern instructions available on request.)

Good luck with your adventure!!

No help with sewing (I think I remember being worse with spatial than you), but yay on the donation, and I'm right there with you. I found the local second chances bin and threw a small bag in, this week I'm going to try to take a large bag.

The thing I like about the donations is that I can do it incrementally. If I have only half a spoon left, I can put a thing in a bag. It adds up!

Some of the bags of stuff were sitting in the closet for YEARS. I sorted the items by type and I saw a bunch of things I didn't even remember owning.

Yeah, I'm really good at the going through my stuff and putting things in a donation pile, and terrible about getting that donation pile to a place that takes donations. So I've had to designate a spot for donations and when that spot is full I have to stop until I get things donated.
