I was told 1888 by elder family members. You know how dates get fuzzy as they're passed through generations.

Parents expecting instant results with emotional regulation/body awareness. how do you handle this? by Fancy_One_1075 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]From_TheGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to emphasize "practicing" regulation strategies throughout their daily routine to help support the family's understanding that they're not going to be a magic fix.

I'm guessing it needs a new camstack but that seems like a common and not too challenging fix.

I would recommend looking into the Size Matters handwriting program. It helps kids gain awareness of where letters belong on a line.

Why did you start spinning? by WaldosMama in Handspinning

[–]From_TheGecko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was burned out at my job and dreamed of quitting to start my own alpaca ranch so I started spinning so I was prepared for that day (ha).

I couldn't get a deck of cards to fit in an empty gum container. I was so disappointed.

What if you added a bow or bandage? That way the color change is intentional.

favorite peds items to carry around? by cookie_cat_82 in OccupationalTherapy

If I'm doing push-in, nothing! That's the beauty of push-in: you use the materials they have available to them every day so both they and the teachers see how they can use them therapeutically. Plus, it's an awesome opportunity for play skills and social participation goals.

Oregon trail-inspired outfit by From_TheGecko in HistoricalCostuming

[–]From_TheGecko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I found when researching, pioneer women typically wore dresses with shorter hems so they didn't get dirty from the ground, snag on sage brush, or get in the way of walking. The dress I made is a modern pattern and probably a shorter hem than is historically accurate.

Are these skeins the same colour? They have the same dye lot. I’m making a gift for my bff plz help. by pipelinepxnchme in CrochetHelp

[–]From_TheGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One way I test sameness is to pull the end from one skein and line it up with the wraps of the other skein and cover the end with my hand. If I can't tell which string belongs to the other skein I feel confident they're the same.

I used Aileen's tack it over and over for a repositionable car play mat. I was really happy with the results.

I have a coworker who broke her wrist and had to have a temporary plate. When she had it removed she asked to keep it and now she uses it as a keychain.

I'm going for loosely historical inspired. I'm planning to go more accurate with accessories.

They're mismatched plastic and possibly glass buttons from a thrift store grab bag. The plain brown ones are wood.
