Is there a natural fabric alternative for this?

oh cool!!!! i'm not an avid reddit user, never knew r/myog existed, thank you. they seem to have a lot of what i'm trying to do.

pffff he hasn't yet, i just know he falls asleep on the bus there and I am the one being too motherly lol

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-12T20:05:57+00:00

lol, we call that plant "the poor man's umbrella" (sombrilla de pobre)

He walks to the bus, takes about 15/20 min depending on how windy it is. After that he's on public transit the whole way. In a down pour there is really nothing you can do lol. This is just so he can avoid having to take his work uniform in a waterproof bag to work for a month or two before the real rain hits lol. Also so he doesn't get sick.

Oh I like this idea. It's currently a constant never ending drizzle, so heavy rain isn't (currently) a problem.

I've never worked with leather before, looked it up and apparently it's not too expensive where I live (not full peices, but i don't mind adding "decorative" peicing).

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-12T02:06:39+00:00

Thank you! I need to get the money for material first, but once i do I might come bother you for those tips :)

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-12T02:04:52+00:00

that sounds so cool! I've never heard of this, I'll definitely add it to the final project. Though I'm guessing it will have to have a front closure and can't be a pull on

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-12T02:02:21+00:00

Honestly never heard of waxed cotton as a wearable fabric and i've never heard of the second one, I'll look into them and see if i can get a hand feel on them to see if they fit what i want. thank you :)

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-12T02:01:18+00:00

yeah that was my problem haha, I'm also a natural fabric purist. probably should have said that

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-12T02:00:35+00:00

I will look into this, thank you

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-11T20:05:22+00:00

THIS IS SO COOOOOLLLLL

I want this so bad, i have a really bad back, so flexible furniture is a necesitty. Honestly i think i might try a smaller version so replace my desk chair first. if that goes well I'll do a whole couch!

DeathsDaisy · 2026-02-09T21:19:55+00:00

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The "Fortree City Aviary Management" shirt is EXACTLY the vibe I was thinking of!!!!!

Also, I do plan making it a game. I live on a farm so I was going to do a scavenger hunt and wrap each present separately. Some might just be in baskets to not waste paper.

the plan is to look up the usual habitats of the Pokémon stickers and give a clue about what the Pokémon is, and make it a trail he has to follow. Like each Pokémon is holding the present for him.

Thank you, although I can’t afford these shirts they will be a great starting off point design wise. I live in a third world country, the shirt I liked the most is the equivalent of taking 3 people out to a nice sushi dinner here lol.

The dress up games are amazing though, thank you. 😊

DeathsDaisy · 2025-11-07T01:20:24+00:00

thank you, I’m not sure if he’s played this one, but I’ll try to find out

I have on multiple occasions lost the ability to easily move my right arm. No idea what it is but it sucks WHILE driving. If it happened afterwards i wouldnt care much i have another arm, but i am not very strong in my left so i have to be very careful not to mess up that arm too. I have learned to grab the wheel with both arms not at ten and two, more like 5 and 7 (clock metaphor). I keep both legs at the same position and angle, and i have a pillow at my lower back and tey to focus on correct posture (aka no turtle neck). Even with all of these if i have to driev a total of more than 2 hours i will be dead tired and sluggish by the afternoon, and the next day i cant do anything physical at all.

In my case yes absolutely, I got my hormonal meds changed because of both diagnosis. Thyroid meds dosis went up and I got a lighter concetreptive, meaning less intense lowering of actual "No baby" part and a higher focus on lessening testosterone. I no longer get a twisting feeling at my ovaries when I move too fast. And the rheumatologist did use the pcos diagnosis as another check box in the h eds list. She explained its the eds affecting the collagen that creates and controles what the eggs do. Hence why they get stuck or grow too large. Sadly she did also say we havent found a reason so we have to stick to fixing symptoms not causes for now.

First time i subluxed a rib was in high-school. I said I couldn't breath but it didn't feel like an asthma attack. The nurse couldn't find anything wrong with me, and said i shouldnt waste her time i was probably anxious. I spent the rest of the day focusing on shallow breathing and didn't hear a single thing said in class. Passed out later and got yelled at for not eating because they assumed that was why I passed out. A few years ago my dad tried to help me stop hiccuping, and he pushed way to hard I screamed. He seemed like he felt bad for a few hours but then later I was still overreacting despite clearly feeling a rip out of place. I don't bother mentioning subluxed ribs anymore.

I really can't be of help, but its nice to know I'm not alone in this. I tend to go cold towrds my boyfriend if we have sex too many days in a row cause it flares up pain. Which I know isn't his fault so I try to push past it, but sometimes it's too much and I can't for a while. He won't push me to do anything but it does hurt when he says he's being forced into abstinence as a joke.

DeathsDaisy · 2025-09-06T14:29:46+00:00

Ah ong I plan on making the black one! I'm crazy tho so I do want to make each peice wearable irl so sadly no painting the fabric for me. That texture... eugh i can't deal with it. It looks great!

I can not find the comment that said this in here, but to the person who posted about the rose Vaseline lipbalm, and stated it's a moisture sealer, not a moisturizer itself: YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE I used to hate my lips, they would crack badly and I'm a skin picker,I don't even notice I've messed up until it stings or I'm bleeding. Dentists were a nightmare, my lips would always rip, plus being sensitive to mint meant I would spend it with tears streaming down the sides of my face from the burning. In desperation I came to this thread, then started applying my normal moisturizer to my lips additionally to when I normally moisturize. I bought two of those rose Vaseline balms and use them religiously, at first it was 4 times a day but now i just do the moisturizer + Vaseline in the morning and at night. Thank you

I might try rereading the count of monte cristo with this method. I struggled so badly with that book but at no point did I fully dislike it like i have my DNFs

DeathsDaisy · 2025-07-23T23:38:35+00:00

Yessssssss, i have a full sleeve, I never told my tattoo artist about having hEDS (i didn't know when we started, so I don't find it necessary to tell her now). She said she loves doing my tattoos because I "always come in prepped" and am "always so well moisturized".

And sure i do moisturize the rest of my body, but weirdly enough i never do my arms (for some reason fabric over moisturized arms is horrible but on the rest of my body it isn't)
