They have restarted a lot of cancelled subscriptions I hear. Even people just opening the app re-starts it. That’s one way to get 6 million new subscribers and a fancy headline in the news.

That would be not good at all!

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Oh that would be a relief. I just feel like as a mod I can’t not not see comments.

To add: it’s a very good comment though. We should think about this and the value of what we make even when it’s early and not perfect. The progression is important.

Well that’s true but I feel like if it’s an item I use a lot it should be revisited and fixed. I didn’t really improve on it (like replace a dinged rivet). I actually repaired it to give it a longer life: I fixed an open seam, I turned around the buckle because it was holding but really not as it’s intended. I refinished the edges before they get too awful. And I am adding a crossbody strap to make it more versatile. I think that’s why I started out with naming the topic “repair”.

My first bag is totally fine as is. It’s far from perfect but I didn’t make structural mistakes so I won’t touch it. Just because of that “see how far I have come” sentiment.

However another example would be if the design or maybe colour choice of thread or hardware doesn’t allow me to use it much, I would go back as well. It’s no good if you don’t use it. At least that’s how I operate. I make mostly handbags lately and I really think hard about the design of a bag before I make it. I am not a collector of handbags on the shelf. I want to use them.

Don’t be a prick 😉 you know what happened to him!!

100%. What a prick indeed. He is an amazing actor.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Totally! They sell it here as Freckles (which is actually a cute name!) as well. It’s an old Austrian variety and I find the name nice and unique. I also speak German so I have an unfair advantage.

Don’t get me started when they drink coffee from a cup that’s clearly empty🙄

 

I am having some issues burnishing some chrome tans. I would love to hear what everybody is using to burnish edges please

My first one to flower is literally the most unexpected. I had bought several a few years back and I had a lot of root pieces left in the box. I dumped them in a corner of the chicken garden. They were doing super well and now the first to flower if from this “leftover bits” planting. Lol

Lesson here is plant every single piece!

 

I would love to start a (maybe monthly?) WIP showcase. Any interest? I’ll comment on what I am working on below. Feel free to add yours as well

 

Is there a mod 101 or something? I have two communities but I am unsure how it all works. No issues yet but how do I remove a post etc? Also can I see somewhere who the users are? One of mine has 29 subscribers but that surprises me. Is there a way to check if that’s true/who they are?

 

I got a message a couple of times now over night that a shortcut was activated. I am pretty new to this so I don’t have much. I only get these messages on and off now since I created a shortcut that activates when I switch to fitness focus. I have other automations, mostly manually triggered (outlet on/off stuff). And one that is timed for Sunday night. I can’t figure out what triggers these messages now. Like last night at 10:40pm while I was asleep and my sleep mode on.

 

I would love to discuss designs and esthetics here as well. I got this new closure for a handbag and I am wondering if I need to go with a somewhat round or even just rounded corners?! Any ideas?

I am still fairly new to Leathercraft and just got into making handbags. Here are some pics of my first two handbags made from my own designs. Leather is Hidden Water from Sepici (green) and Blue Tidal from Arif & Sons (Blue)

 

I love this community here! So many creatives. I am into Leathercraft right now and I’ll be posting some of my items soon. I also created a more specific community over on Lemmy.ca If you are a Leathercrafter check out: https://lemmy.ca/c/leathercraft

 

Small niche sub on Reddit with some excellent and knowledgeable members over there. So I set up a home here in the hopes we can create a community for makers. https://lemmy.ca/c/leathercraft

 

I created a community here. Hopefully people are interested in joining. This Apple service has literally changed my life and I loved the sub on Reddit. https://lemmy.ca/c/Applefitnessplus

 

Hello anybody here? I would love to chat Ted Lasso!
