Today's project completed: one large tote bag to carry my meals to work. The fabric is designed for outdoor furniture, with a lining of the type of fabric used for packs and sportsbags. This should mean it will last well - the old bag got quite manky because of the condensation formed by ice bricks. It did make it hard to sew though, both because of how thick it is and because the lining fabric was slippery. Miss Meow did her best to assist. Spoiler: it didn't help.

Damn. That looks amazing. Is there anything you can’t do?

Many things. Drawing. Sports. Remember people's names...

What about separating two bowls stuck together ?

Please. For the love of god.

The only solution I've got is variations on the hot/cold theme, generally heat the bottom bowl and cool the top bowl. Are they ceramic and could have absorbed a tiny amount of water? Maybe try some dry heat, like in the oven on low for a while.

That is very uncanny.

Today I was going to buy a bag that is very similar, same shape and size, heavy tapestry in the same colour palette. I just wanted it for the fabric, to repurpose as chair upholstery, so declined at the price .

seriously uncanny
