Can you use a piece of graph paper to map out what you want to do, and then transfer it over or something to the canvas? I’ve never done cross stitch but I love embroidery

I have very little aesthetic sense, though… I would love if there was some kind of software? If not maybe I will try playing around with a Google doc and then transfer to graph paper.

I printed a computer image onto graph paper once and then made a few manual adjustments. It worked pretty well!

Can I bake cake layers in the evening and ice the next morning, or would they get stale?

Is there a way to block a friend from seeing uour posts in a Facebook group but not on the rest of Facebook? (I don’t want my mom seeing my buy nothing activity anymore)

If you have a photo or image of what you want the design to be then there are a lot of free websites that will convert that into a pattern. I can’t find the one I’ve used before but it worked great!

Absolutely. Just wrap them up in Saran wrap after they have cooled.

Google suggests only works if the group is “closed or secret”, my BNP group is “Private”. I will keep reviewing.

I’ve done this! Did not notice any staleness, and it was definitely preferable to a melty mess of trying to get icing on before fully cooled

My cakes always last a few days (well, when not eaten straight away)

Yes! They will cool properly
What Pokemon is this? It’s a sticker.
Also is there a good way to display the stickers Kiddo earns without taking the sticky backing off?

There definitely is software but I don’t think it’s free. If you want I can ask—pretty sure someone in my craft group has mentioned it.

Has anyone ever made a successful, cost effective at home Luna bar type recipe? They’re absolutely essential to my diet but $1.50 each and I’d prefer them not as sweet anyway

Asking for a friend - does anyone have recommendations for a career/life coach (or places to start looking) who could help someone think through how to navigate professional life while caring for a family member with long-term illness? @Pbkmaine maybe?

I have a friend who does life coaching and has experience helping care for family members with illness - may not be a perfect fit but he’s often willing to do a trial session. PM me if you’d like and I can ask and put you in touch. No pressure.

Sorry, misread your question and thought the person with an illness was looking for work. I had recommended finding a vocational evaluator but I don’t think that applies here.

I do not have any career coaches to recommend, but I would stipulate “flexible” and “remote” when talking with recruiters.
