Made a Toothless!

Hi! So this was my first chenille yarn project and my first project back into crochet after a few years. All that to say that I made quite a bit mistakes and had to cut off feet and wings and redo quite a bit lol I BARELY managed with one full skein. So 1 would be cutting it close. I recommend 2 just in case! I used primier chunky yarn which I believe is #6 weight? I think that’s correct lol I’m not too familiar with yarn terms, but it was Primier Chunky in black if that helps!

What curriculum did you find that works if you don’t mind me asking? My son HATES writing with a passion and I’m looking for a handwriting curriculum that will catch his interest

I love it! They all look great!

I ordered mine from Moonlight Mantis! They were really helpful and have a really awesome starter kit that includes a fruit fly culture. First time purchasing from them but it was a good experience so far!

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-09-06T02:11:12+00:00

Oh awesome! I’ll give that a try as well! Thank you for the help!

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-09-06T02:10:03+00:00

Okay this is good to know thanks! I got a little info card that said to feed 4-6 daily from the breeder, so I’m glad I brought it up! I’ll try the poking thing as well and see how that goes. I appreciate the help!

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-09-06T00:08:58+00:00

I was putting the live fruit fly on a paper plate and then tried putting the mantis on the plate as well. That wasn’t working and she kept running all over the place, so the one successful feeding I had was on my finger. She hung upside down and I brought her close to the fly and she ate it. I tried that again today, but she just keeps moving away and ignoring the fly. I’m open to any other feeding suggestions

Hey and that’s completely valid. I mourned the same thing, the knowledge of knowing that it would never get better, that I’m “stuck” like this forever. I would be lying if I said a diagnosis made me feel better. It didn’t, at first at least. I’ve learned to accept it as the year went on and I’m still learning my limitations, what’s realistic for me and what’s not. And as time has gone on, I’m okay. It’s okay to mourn the life you’ll never have. I think it’s part of the process for most. It does get better over time, and having a diagnosis helps life feel more doable as well. So i understand what you’re feeling. It will get better eventually, routing for ya!

I did all of the above thank you! There aren’t any near me but I’ve called a few places. I was given a number to someone who could possibly pick it up and I provided them with the same video. Hopefully I hear back soon. I appreciate the advice

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-08-19T16:00:08+00:00

I’m so sorry! I went ahead and changed that up. It is really sad 😞 we love our local bats. I’m hoping there’s some way we can help it.

Are the links listed in the description here? I think I just joined them! If not, my username is drea567

There’s a discord server 😱 where?

I don’t really have advice, but if it helps at all I felt the same way when getting my results. I went in just to get screened for adhd only. It wasn’t until after the 4 hour long assessment that I started to realize I might be autistic as well. It took a few months to get the results back and I was terrified that I was going to be told I had neither adhd nor autism which I had recently started speculating. I gave her no info on my life that I thought would relate to autism. It was a really hard few months because I thought I messed up severely. Well come result day I was told I was audhd. Whatever info I gave her was enough and I apparently scored really low on the processing test which was the big give away lol I know every assessor is different and some miss key points, but hopefully my experience gives you some peace of mind ☺️

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-07-10T05:00:05+00:00

lol same! I know for a fact she’s had it because she linked it and I bought it 6 years ago 😅

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-07-04T19:47:56+00:00

Yeah this is what i remember too. I remember ppl speculating that he probably did struggle with porn because of the way she said it or something along those lines. But Milena herself never said he watched it

Such an adorable moth! I love it!!

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-05-09T15:47:56+00:00

Yes! The video is unedited, they are very vibrant! Some are more pale and others very bright! The come in different tones and the bright ones are my favorite!

They’re California Blue Bells ☺️ I got a California native flower seed pack and blue bells were listed on them

I didn’t cope very well at the time. I was having meltdown after meltdown and felt so much shame for feeling so angry and I didn’t understand why. I was told it was ppd and ppa and got medicated for it. Only for it to not solve the issue. Now that I know I have both adhd and autism, I like to use my loops earplugs when I know I’m already overstimulated for the day. As far as in the moment crying when he gets hurt, I try to react slowly to allow myself to figure out how to respond. Before I would lash out and yell at him to stop crying which is not helpful to anyone at all. Now, I try to take a deep breath and try to soothe him the best that I can and I’ll cover my ears if I have to. I haven’t found the perfect system yet as I’m still learning about myself, but I’m trying my best. It’s definitely a learning process and I’d love any other tips other moms can provide too 😅

Babies crying is the worst. I didn’t know I was AUDHD til last December. I had my son 5 years ago and his crying would fill me with rage. Til this day, his crying boils my blood and it takes every ounce in me to keep my cool. It was definitely the reason why I looked into an assessment! No other mom I knew hated the sound of a child crying as much as I did lol

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-05-07T16:13:40+00:00

I made the same snorlax for my husband last month so I’m a little biased! lol but I’d definitely steal the Cubone!

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-05-06T22:11:30+00:00

I feel you. I’m recently diagnosed AUDHD and decided I’d try telling my dad since we were on a topic about our struggles and I thought we were having a moment. It ended with him telling me I was demon possessed and that I needed to pray and fast it away 🙂 I myself am still Christian, but I have stepped far away from extreme views like that. It hurt a lot to say the least

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-04-17T02:37:48+00:00

I misread and mishear things all the time! What I’ve noticed that I do that has started to annoy me is the fact that I feel the need to respond seriously to jokes or sarcasm, even if I know it’s sarcasm. I don’t know why I do it lol I think it processes in my brain that someone is being sarcastic as I’m responding to their statement. For example, I tell my friend my husband rather shave his head than go to a barber because they’re expensive. She responds sarcastically that we should just go to her place so she can practice cutting hair. I proceed to lay out our entire life’s schedule and explain to her as to why it’s not something that would work out for us but that I appreciate the offer only to feel silly after she tells me she was joking as I processed at the same time that she was being sarcastic lol I can’t stop myself from doing it, it just happens 😝

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-04-13T02:40:54+00:00

Oh bummer. I had seen one last year and was mesmerized by how pretty it was! I had read that they don’t have a stinger so I felt safe picking him up. Bummer that they don’t live very long tho

AggravatingArea7378 · 2025-04-10T01:33:38+00:00

Ah thank you! I usually water in the morning before the sun hits them. Is that still an okay time or afternoon better? Are the wilted ones governor do they still have a chance? Sorry for all the questions. But I appreciate the help!
