I dropped a bag off this morning. Reuse! It is much easier to decide if a scrap is worth keeping, when you know it is moving to another artist.<br/>#sewing #quilting<br/> <img src="https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/116/025/486/458/897/452/original/92df96069609118d.jpg"> <br/> 2026-02-06T20:07:47Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspdrdhflqn5wge5mdwta6trzxeyqkkrs9auujkpvjvlq5vwgaqh3qzypxfss9m36xe2u5yn3k3pexvsmugtzt550sefm4reudmamxywl23yujw62a The December Christmas socks are coming along nicely.

One teacher wanted colour coordinated supplies for each class.

A mother would give plants from mom&#39;s garden, to the daughter to plant at her new home, in the early 1800&#39;s. So if you see day lilies in random spots on roadsides or by hiking trails, there used to be a farmhouse there. Think of them as a bit of Carleton County history. 2025-06-27T16:23:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvlyk9acdp870wegmplwztxn6pnznpe4d2add74pgl2rrwdzm0mxqzypxfss9m36xe2u5yn3k3pexvsmugtzt550sefm4reudmamxywl23yxaxgum In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvhxner3855yp2dn7mtdkw8mp2kls4tfxspwpaujav0vw7a98fl0gkp0tu4'>nevent1q…0tu4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>in my purse, in my other purse, in my car, in my tote bag... 2025-06-10T20:23:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8tprq4n7f7lgatklzhdqaeaqc97lh5zucy2vruah6a7td9n6gjtqzypxfss9m36xe2u5yn3k3pexvsmugtzt550sefm4reudmamxywl23yzr0ghs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz3sj6d5s087ajym3v3az3xugfw9pgmu6mcn46zkrxeklwfaq0z4gahkwl6'>nevent1q…kwl6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I am an indoor cat owner. They are currently in the screened sunroom, listening to the cardinals. <br/>My first thought was Nerf gun, but just as effective as a throwing can. Find a metal can with a metal lid, drop in a piece of chain, bolts, anything that will make a loud noise when it is tossed. put the lid on tight, maybe add some duct tape to keep the lid on. Then toss it near the cat, not at but near. You don&#39;t have to worry about throwing it every time. Intermittent tosses can often work better, since the cat never knows when that loud projectile is coming.<br/>It is both humane and very satisfying. 2025-05-14T13:51:19Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsy6ydynwrre3x2satalg4pcvqnfwqe82q9uv5e0geym49j9q0e3agzypxfss9m36xe2u5yn3k3pexvsmugtzt550sefm4reudmamxywl23yxf378j After the contractors who made loud noises all day have left, they are recovering together.<br/>#caturday<br/> <img src="https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/445/069/332/733/951/original/0475abf6e4a5504d.jpg"> <br/> 2025-05-03T17:27:45Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszhdxazr7pe3m899jsayl4f6quqfrs3pjt654y7t46vty27zydjlczypxfss9m36xe2u5yn3k3pexvsmugtzt550sefm4reudmamxywl23yfyknru In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswghacuraqas9dyutec9gws4p82ys38zasyx9exemu3ga8r92kwvcd46wl4'>nevent1q…6wl4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I use a tubular cast on. I started doing it a few years ago, and after you get the hang of it, it makes a nice stretch cast on for ribbing. <br/>I use 5 DPNs so I knit my socks one at a time. I learned to knit on DPNs when I was about 10, so it just feels natural. Besides, DPNs turn your socks into sock muppets after you turn the heel.
