Very true. Also I sometimes price things high because I am actually ambivalent about letting them go. ARGH.
Interesting - sometimes the favorite acquisitions are different than the favorite scarves - when something feels like a bargain, or was hard to find, or you win an auction at the last minute, or you bid on it from a train with spotty internet and didn't know whether you won or no - that stuff is really "acquisition fun"!
DH tells me I should list everything I own, just price the things I really like at super high prices! I don't understand this logic at all.
 
I am also really attracted to the idea of making sourdough bread, so nurturing. And also intimidated by the idea of having to keep the thing going, like another living being that I become responsible for (basically the reasons why I both love and hate cooking... I love the feeling of feeding my brood, and I resent the feeling of being responsible for feeding my brood, if that makes sense :amuse:)

Plus I live in Germany where you can get great bread around every corner!


You remind me how much I love this scarf specially in this color way. It is not easy to find nice ones with both good colors and lots of white. Perfection.
Thank you!
Here´s what I did with a vintage scarf I liked very much:

I wouldn´t ever have worn it...
Wow! this is so cool! you are so creative! :heart:
It´s such a beautiful scarf @keodi! It must feel very special to own a piece like this. How do you style it?
Thank you! I mainly style it with jeans and a blazer, sometime with a t-shirt and a pencil skirt. I love this scarf so much!
I don't think so, but I'm afraid to look... One might come home with me! :lol:

Eh - that's not so bad....
< speaking from experience over here :angel: >
lol! agreed!

I don´t understand it, either. Going by how this worls usually works the highly expensive favourite items will sell in the blink of an eye while the cheap things you actually want to part with stay put... Plus why ever should you list what you really love and want for sale at all?
 
That looks great! It's a wonderful idea. Lately I'm not very motivated to make things.

Thank-you @whateve! The pram I made this quilt for is an English Marmet Queen model and made me think of the Queen of England. The headscarf fit the picture perfectly. My head pictured corgies and wellington boots, too- the pram got lucky I didn´t find a way to incorporate them into the design...

At the moment making things doesn´t happen for me, either. My motivation is getting lower every darkish day. I´ve been having a pram chassis to clean up on my table for days and can´t muster the energy to work on it. As it simply blocks my table sewing isn´t possible, either.... so I sit at the computer.

I have a bag sitting, waiting to be painted, for awhile now. I didn't have any problem doing the rest of the rehab, just not looking forward to the painting. It's not an overall paint job, just enough to fix the fading and cover the stains.

Good luck with the painting! Do it when you feel like doing it. It won´t run away, I guess... The "just enough to fix jobs" tend to be tricky and need full committment.

Maybe put the pram aside for a week or two.

I think we all seem to be stuck at the moment . I have a dog portrait sitting on my easel that I need to finish. It will get done but I am just not motivated. Luckily it is not due till December.
