I mostly get a fuckton of coupons for weaves. Every so often I get lucky and hit enough to put me just a bit ahead on coins. Got like 2500 or so now, but most of them came from the 7th anniversary games.

Someone asked me to post seed pics, but unfortunately I haven't been cataloguing their development super well!

In Oregon, the weather has been cold and lovely and also I'm a bad plant mom. But anyway germination rate was like 95%, which surprised me, but the sprouts mostly languished in apathy hell.

I told my dad to have a space made for my aliexpress seeds so I could see what happens. It's in the faaar back so if they accidentally sold me real titty gourd seeds, my shame will be hidden from the world.



So here's some cucumber sprouts and stuff I put in. Some tomatoes are in too. Everything seems to be coming in as the plant promised but, like I always say, there's still time to be disappointed!



It was me thank you! I'm excited to see the titty gourds

Can confirm. My phone case fits perfectly, has a nice no-slip rubber feel to it, and the cool image (three skulls stacked up with smoke whisping out of them) seems to actually be pressed into the mold rather than silkscreened. Also, when I'm fidgity, I can play with the corners, pulling them off and pushing them back on as a sort of bubble-wrap style popping satisfaction. All for around three bucks. Very happy with the purchase.

I love that they put all those dorky nametags on the monsters

I'll join the silk poster gang. Got one for the movie Labyrinth (yes the David Bowie one) and the title and description all said it was Pans Labyrinth. But it looks awesome and nicer than a normal poster. If you frame it, just know they are kind of see through, so plan your backing accordingly.

Today I got a hundred tiny magnets for magneting stuff up.

The customs declaration listed them as "screws." I wonder if there's some restriction on importing magnets? I know that those buckyball magnetic ball toys became problematic after kids started eating them and getting horrible intestinal emergencies where the magnets would snap together inside their guts and constrict a fold of tissue until it died and turned septic :unsmigghh:

idk about importing them, but those are legal again now, but maybe someone didn't tell the sellers yet.


Although usually the custom declaration is only vaguely related to whats actually in the package anyway.

It's a toss up between worris about this and the person shipping it being unable to remember the word "magnets," or the spelling. I've gotten a lot of packages where the declared item name was only sort of related to the actual item.

My favorites so far are "Pins for head" for jewelry-making head pins, and "plastic meltinger" for one of those little cheap heat-using plastic sealers.


Also, I ordered a couple little (so I thought) patches during the anniversary sale, and it turns out they are A. massive and B. possibly not even patches. They're definitely not iron-ons, they have a mesh backing. I guess you sew the mesh to whatever? How do you hide the thread? If anyone knows, please tell me. I'm tempted to throw one on the back of an old denim jacket and sell it for $50 to DePop kiddies, but I dunno how to attach it.

I probably should have mentioned it's made entirely of sequins, which I'm guessing would melt.

No, I did not think this $0.38 purchase entirely through. Which is why I'm fine with sewing it on, if that's woukd work.

Here are pics in case anyone knows how this is supposed to be attached to anything

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

Trim the excess mesh and sew it in from behind, you should be able to sew into the mesh without it showing at the front.

InvisibleMonkey
Jun 4, 2004


Hey, girl.
Are you sure the mesh isn't some sort of iron-on glue? It looks vaguely plasticy and like that mesh iron-on seam tape.
You can try putting it on the outside of the fabric and then ironing on the inside of the fabric, if that makes sense. Otherwise just sew it from the back and make sure to pierce only the mesh and not the entire patch.
