  • Electric blankets are like $30 at Kmart and so worth it. There are also heated throws if you want it on a chair but they’re less warm.

    Warning: There is a risk of having the heat source commandeered by furry overlords

  • Mount Dishmore is getting impressive again… it’s all “soaking”.

    I just remembered something though. You can’t use normal dishwashing liquid in a dishwasher (especially a mini one) because excessive foam can damage the machine. But somewhere recommended putting baking soda in the dispenser with 2 drops of dish soap. Maybe I could get away with using one drop with the bicarb.

    I also know that vinegar reduces foaming (with a risk of damaging rubber pipes or seals if it sits).

    It’s worth a shot. I already know I’m not getting a refund and the extra work of trying to manually scrub and rinse the strong soap off everything afterwards means it’s sitting unused.

  • Agreed, linen is lovely but wrinkles badly.

    This fabric happened to be pure cotton because it’s the outer shell of a pillow I’m salvaging for parts. The ‘skin’ of it is being used in a practice run for a doll pattern I sketched onto a grid and the filling will be used to stuff the doll.

    I bought a meter of calico because it was cheap but I really think fabrics with a bit of stretch would work better

  • I was so tired I fell asleep attached to a TENS machine with a horror movie playing. 😑 So that’s how life is going.

    The stuff is here. I’m going to see if I have the energy to split up and rewrap the pack of soap (just so one person doesn’t get 8 bars and everyone else gets none). The tp is the thin rough Delsey but it’s the easiest least suss way to distribute individual rolls.

    The fabric pieces of this doll got wrinkled so I have to iron them again before sewing. Note to self - 100% cotton fabric wrinkles super easily and is not a forgiving choice.
