"Huh, I only have a few more days with my family, and I haven't packed anything at all. I should probably sew a pea coat." The pattern I used, for any interested parties. Polka dot flannel lining, wool exterior. Still needs some finishing touches (hems, buttons, etc). My most ambitious project yet, happy with how it turned out. Going to make one for my boyfriend this week, which leads me to: Relocation 2: ECLECTIC BUGABOO I've shipped my shit, I've winterized the beehive, I've cleaned my room, and I'm going to be in Portland in about 36 hours. Not much to say apart from that I am extremely excited - to be out of CT, to be with friends, to be able to bike again, to take my life off hiatus, to find out where cgod's coffee place is, etc etc etc.
A Brother 2600i, was $80 when I bought it. No complaints. Edit: named "Sharon", after the drag queen
I used to think gingham was really old fashioned, so much so that I don't know how it started sneaking into my wardrobe. I'm a huge fan of tartan patterns though. There have been times where I'd go on JoAnn's website and just browse their fabric.
Is this a euphemism for something, or do you have a place where actual bees live, and if so, what does winterizing involve?I've winterized the beehive
Well I definitely want it to be a euphemism now, but alas, it is very real. I have a hive in my backyard, and I just needed to get it ready for winter so my dad doesn't have to deal with them. Basically, it just involves plugging the entrance hole with straw so that the bees don't try to keep foraging if it gets warm in the winter (fun fact: the bees basically all leave the hive as a pack to take a group shit mid-winter, so you have to keep a small part open). Then you have to fill up a feeder with syrup/meds for them so they don't starve in the winter. Then it's just checking for mold/pests/protecting them from mice etc.
we have some amount of time before he answers to speculate on what it could be a euphemism for i am having trouble thinking of anything pg edit: ninja'd. i remember when hubski didn't have nearly enough constant traffic to really worry about being ninja'd. huh.
