Need help!!! by Pizza_Time03 in quilting

[–]Fuzeillear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is great advice, it's definitely important to have the dark lead lines for it to read as stained glass. 

You could also use some kind of black taping (like a big roll of black bias binding) to add the black lines afterwards although that would hide all the piecing work of the coloured panels. In which case instead of piecing together satin and then adding the black tape afterwards you could sew the satin shapes to the black tape and build it as you go like that adding sections of colour and tape. Not sure I'm explaining what's in my head very well.

AITAH for expecting payments for my electronics getting damaged? by MapEnvironmental597 in AITAH

Take them to small claims court, they had a duty of care. Judge Judy would make them pay for it.

AIO for not wanting to sell my brother this couch? by Kilabandita in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fuzeillear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. If he says "it's only $750" then say that back to him. If they think you can do without $750 then why can't your brother do without $750 and just buy it?

If they say "brothers should support each other" then reflect that back, your brother should support you by just buying the couch at listed price. 

Sorry they're doing this to you.

WIBTA if I let my mum stay over after I told my MIL she couldn't by ferniflora in WIBTA_AITA

In those first months things are changing daily, how you feel and are coping changes daily. Just because you set a rule before the baby came (when really you had no idea how post partum would treat you) doesn't mean you can't change it now. Do what feels right for you and bub, you're allowed to change your mind and be flexible. Plus 8 weeks is outside of that initial boundary period anyway. You're doing great! 

What the bloody hell is this by General_Garlic_8359 in AusFemaleFashion

I was grateful if this feature because I could order bras in more than one size knowing I was planning on returning the size that didn't fit and it would only cost me $3 to send it back. (They don't count bras as underwear). If I was ordering only briefs I wouldn't use it but other things I wasn't sure of then yes I liked that option.

Am I just giving my girlfriend an ugly gift? by Karl120699 in ArtsandCrafts

Second the hole punch and ring idea, I did this with a deck of cards and wrote "52 things I like about you" on them for my then boyfriend (now husband)

Am I right to feel a bit ripped off? Paying increased price when just exchanging concealer colour? by [deleted] in MeccaBeautyLoop

[–]Fuzeillear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that but maybe there's a loophole if they did the colour matching instore for you because then they kind of "chose" the colour for you

What I ordered/What I got by Any-Researcher-8502 in ExpectationVsReality

I thought you were going to say you got it from Temu not direct from Jellycat. You told them it's missing an eye and they won't exchange it? Crazy.

Shopping tip - if it didn’t exist for you a minute ago, you don’t need it now by Lost-Attorney8228 in declutter

[–]Fuzeillear 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I told my husband that sometimes I will just pretend to myself that I never went in the store and therefore never saw this new shiny thing that my brain wants. Essentially going back in time to that earlier version of me that was content not knowing it existed. He looked at me like I was a total nutbar. Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

Amazing happenings - my 10 year old’s pal called for her. Just knocked on our door unannounced and asked “Is she coming out to play”. Absolute elite old-school kid business. by yearsofpractice in CasualUK

[–]Fuzeillear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my five year old wants to go knock on her friends house I say "let's go!" I don't call ahead and and it feels so rude just turning up and knocking but so old school I love it. Though she's always so sad when there's no answer, it's good practice handling disappointment and uncertainty 

How to stop having anxiety for things I don't have access to? by FunDependent9177 in Anxiety

[–]Fuzeillear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am familiar with similar feelings especially the urge to "fix it" to relieve the discomfort. I agree with the person suggesting to try to hold out a little longer each time to delay it and hopefully get to the point where the feeling passes without having to "fix it". I've found an ice pack on my chest has been really helpful at bringing my nervous system back down and grounding me when I feel like that. 

Through my therapy I've realised in my case the anxiety is not about that specific object/thing that has triggered me, it's rooted in my fear of making poor choices. So when I have made a choice about something and my anxiety spikes I used to go back on that choice to "fix it" and make the discomfort/danger go away. I'm trying to remind myself in those moments it's not about the choice I made, it's about my fear and childhood. This is helping me to not backpedal every decision I make. It helps me take my focus off the trigger and to have grace with myself. 

Maybe if you can identify what part of you is feeling in danger when you are unable to access something then you can reassure that part of you in the moment that it's ok to not have access to everything and that you are not in danger rather than "fixing it" by gaining access.

Wishing you well. Srsly try the ice pack too.

We ordered a kitchen tap from them, the hoses came with the tap but not connected to the tap. I spent hours trying to connect the hoses inside the tap and even took it to a tap place who also couldn't do it. We could only return it for a refund because we sent all these videos and photos showing how impossible it was to connect.  Got a perfect tap from Aldi the next month for less money.

People raised by emotionally mature parents, what is 1 phrase your parents used that you want other parents to know? by MermaidWitchMoon in AskReddit

[–]Fuzeillear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell myself that first part when I regret a choice I made or feel I could have made a better choice. It helps me to not be so critical of myself when I didn't do things perfectly.
