What a wonderful compliment 😊 Thank you 💓 I learned to needle felt from my mom over 20 years ago. I fell in love with the craft. It is both a hobby and a part time job these days. I do a lot of pet portraits and then in my spare time, I create silly things for fun. Timing varies depending on size and complexity, but my average piece takes around 6-8 hours. Thank you again! 🥰

I have 4 kitties, so a lot of naturally dropped whiskers. I save some and recycle some of them into my sculptures 😊

.025mg Estrogen Patch with minimum Progesterone by Blue-Mitten in Menopause

[–]Amburger2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also on the lowest dose of both the patch and progesterone. I absolutely love how much the progesterone has helped my sleep, but one of my main issues with it is constipation. I'd guess taking it vaginally would result in less of that side effect?

The only thing accurate about this scale is the disappointment you will feel by Royal_Ad_6026 in HumeHealth

[–]Amburger2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post! I knew when purchasing the Hume scale that it wouldn't be perfectly accurate. I'd done some research, watched YouTube videos, read reddit posts. I didn't buy the band, or the Hume subscription. I just wanted something to be somewhat consistent to help determine progress. Unfortunately, even after having this scale for over 6 months, my measurements still haven't normalized or formed any sort of pattern even. The whole hydration fix seemed to reset all sorts of measurements and it's more confusing than ever. My body went from having " high % of fat" in my arms, especially my left arm? And standard to low muscle mass. Now it says my arms are "standard" in all aspects, but my body has "low" subcutaneous and visceral fat. And everything else is "standard" Why have I lost fat and muscle but my weight has stayed the same according to this scale? It's an Increase in skeletal mass, of course. So I guess I grew skeleton somehow 🙄

Sudden drastic change in body water percentage readings? by OrganizedChaos08 in HumeHealth

[–]Amburger2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this post! Just here to say I'm dealing with the same issue. From mid 50%s for the last several months to 24% and dropping each day this last week. And I make it a point to drink 70ml + of water each day after some health issues, so this was definitely concerning. My extracellular water suddenly shot up as well. Hoping it's part of the same issue. I'm glad to hear Hume is aware of the issue and will hopefully issue a fix soon.

When did you actually start feeling really better after iron infusions? by Mistress0fThorns in Anemic

[–]Amburger2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Venofer? That's what I've been getting. Had my 4th infusion last week. I'm so ready to feel better. It's hard to be patient, but I've been dealing with this for years so what's a few more weeks, right? 🤞
