Oh nooooo lol! I bet you can figure it out!! Maybe there is a YouTube video that will help you solve it

Done is better than tidy I suppose

Iโ€™m guessing the strings are too thick for the channel

โ€ฆthen you should be able to pull on both sets of strings at the same time to cinch the bag closed. You might have to use a narrower, rounder string for this to go smoothly, rather than twill tape

I canโ€™t tell if there are two openings on opposite signs of the top of the bag? If so, you would go all the way around from one direction with one string, then all the way around from the opposite side with the other stringโ€ฆ

Just realized the 45 hour non-fiction (civil rights history) audiobook Iโ€™ve been listening to is part one of a trilogy ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Thank you, I was not trained or equipped or even really willing but here we are, right? Neck deep and treading water. Itโ€™s fine, we do what we must. Hopefully Iโ€™ll have a few years to recover in the After Times. I had no idea home hospice was so hollowed out. Thatโ€™s an actual shame.

Hugs, thanks for sharing your painful experience. Iโ€™m head-to-toe caregiving my 91 yo disabled mom in her home 24/7. 8 years in, no idea how it ends.

13 circles of wool felt with little glass beads sewn in the centers. They are variously browns, reds, blues, one is gray & black, one is rainbow.

Here are some lil oddball felt brooches I finished yesterday. Not my usual colors or sizes but it was either complete them or let them go. Feels important to make things instead of destroy.

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

Slender white dude with a beard & mustache sits on a gray couch & holds a margarita with salt rim, and gold balloons that say 62. there is a banner thatโ€™s says Happy Birthday hanging in the giant window behind him. He looks lightly amused.

A pic from 2018, here I am in wide-leg orange pants as proof I am not afraid to be bold, and a little weird!
