Seeking advice!

only my second quilt (first was normal, this ones supposed to be a rag quilt)

just set out about half of my squares to start sewing some strips and i'm a little underwhelmed by how it looks together? I don't know if its just the way i've set them out (if theres a problem area thats just throwing it off) or if i should try and make more of a pattern rather than just the random squares, but i'm not sure if a pattern would match the vibe of a rag quilt?
Any advice please?

(Also, this was supposed to include some squares of sage green gingham, but i decided i had enough already so didnt cut it-- do you think that would help balance it out?)

Transformable backpack/shoulder bag?

okay so i LOVE the look of this bag, its everything i'd want in a tote and a backpack, my only issue being the closure.
I need this bag for Uni (must fit a laptop, books, food etc) but my Uni city is VERY rainy so the closure must be a zip or flip over so my stuff doesnt get wet. I REALLY want a bag that transforms from a tote/shoulder to a backpack as i prefer a shoulder bag for accessibility, but my bag can get heavy through the day with books or shopping bits etc.
I've found similar bags by googling keywords but nothing as simple and chic as this one, theyre all covered in pockets and buckles. The thing is is that this specific bag doesn't show up on any of my searches so i have to assume there are others out there somewhere that might also just not be showing up.

to summarise, bag must:
transform backpack to shoulder; ideally be brown/tan 100% real leather (or plastic free vegan alt); mostly waterproof with full closure; a few pockets on the inside (phone, airpods, lipgloss); be able to fit a laptop, book, carton of milk etc; not be covered in buckles and pockets on the outside; still look cute, chic, girly

Any recommendations please tysm? 💕🤭

Chai powder

sorry if this is the wrong space to ask as i'm only vegetarian but trying to move more vegan.

I switched to soy milk a month ago (ive tried other plant milks before but this is my FAV) but its gone a bit cooler in the uk so i reached for my just-add-water chai powder for the first time since switching and remembered it had milk powder.

I love the taste but most importantly the convenience of just boiling the kettle and mixing, wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a chai mix with plant based milk powder? if thats a thing??
Thanks!! 🌷

I want to paint a star map on my daughters ceiling of the constellations from her birth time and location. i have a projector but it cant cover more than say a metres width at one time. i have ladders and metalic paint. i also have her full detailed star map downloaded and ready to go.
Just wondering if anybody has done this before/has any tips (especially about projecting/mapping it out)

Fun clothing?

So i've been trying to shop more sustainably, and some things you just can't find in charity shops (though i love them) especially if you're in between sizes etc.

I've done so much research trying to find cute sustainable clothing brands, and don't get me wrong, ive found tonnes!! but theyre low key all so boring 😭

Why is EVERY brand just 'simple basics', like goddamn give me graphic tee!! give me beadwork and embroidery!! if i'm paying that much i expect at least something unique!!
And if it is 'unique', its sometimes a little too unique yk?? like its some fresh out of fashion school designer making transformable skirts out of old handbags in limited drops

Sorry 4 being a h8r im just young and i go out and i want to wear FUN INTERESTING pieces 😔😔😔Any recommendations PLEASE 😭😭😭??

character surname

first name similar to 'Lillien'
Must have like a dark magic feel to it, VERY old money vibes, and a little bit evil but in a family way not her character. Ideally a long or double barelled name.
Family is supposed to be sort of southern-european area (greek/Italian) ish vibes
Really struggling so any help would be great 😭

separation?

only on day three, but same thing happened last night too. Towards the bottom of the jar, where it starts to taper, the starter seems to be separating with a thin layer of yellow liquid-- is this normal?? this is my first starter and I'm just using a really basic recipe 50g-50ml.
*not too visible on this picture but was a very strong line last night

climate change and acceptance

is it bothering anybody else that all people seem to be talking about with this heatwave is what AC theyre gonna buy??? why are we just accepting this unpredictability as the next stage?? just accepting extreme weather events as something to buy a solution for?? why are we not INSISTING change on a global level?? why are we not ANGRY?? you barely hear anybody talking about the fact that re-greening spaces would help the MOST with the heat, that maybe going after our biggest polluters might be a solution. idk its just been bothering me, we need change and we need people to recognise that this stuff is RELATED to climate change 😭

Copyright?

Rest assured i am NEVER a shien buyer, but this was advertised to me on google when looking for merch.
Surely this is a copyright violation? I wonder if the band team could do anything to get it taken down as i imagine they wouldnt want to be associated

pesticide?

had this guy at our neighbours property this morning, only here for about ten minutes, sprayed something on a swarm at their roof and left. Problem is the pray blew onto our garden and we work very hard to ensure ours is pollinator friendly. Worried for the bees, though not sure what was swarming (worried for all pollinators honestly, i hate the discrimination the "scary" ones face) i'm in the UK too where im pretty sure its semi illegal to kill bees with pesticides
