"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus DumbledoreHi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!
A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

^my forum, liven it up a little?
advice
Hello:) my boyfriend just graduated highschool and his party is coming up within three weeks. I want to give him a PLAIN forrest green fleece blanket (his favorite color) with a message that takes up the whole blanket (not just a corner logo or mongram) that says
"Today I don't feel like doing anything." It's an inside joke and its for his dorm.. but I don't know where and how I can make this blanket?! can somebody help me please? Thank youuu guyss:)
Hey, I did some pretty extensive searching, and the best I could find was a couple companies who offer block letter embroidery and it wasn't very big; definitely NOT what you're looking for.
Just from what I know about embroidery (my mom's a pretty avid seamstress/sewing addict) it's wicked complicated, expensive, time-consuming, etc. Plus, it makes the back of things scratchy, at least by blanket standards.
Have you considered making it yourself? You can buy a fleece blanket almost anywhere these days. LL Bean, Kohl's, Target, etc. And forest green shouldn't be a difficult color to find; I found it on almost every site I encountered.
A couple ideas you could try:
- Buy stick-on felt (or regular, whatever you can find) and trace/cut out letters that are the height you want. The adhesive isn't suited to being on a blanket, so sewing along the edges will probably be required.
- Buy scraps/remnants of fabric and cut out letters the same way. If you do this, you could stuff the letters like you would a quilt, making it puffy.
Do you know anyone who does screen printing on t-shirts? They might be able to do something similar for a blanket, and would know what to use on fleece fabric.
Good luck, and remember that making something homemade makes a gift even more personal :)
