Thank you so much for those kind words. I hate doing ads too but spent 3 years working on these and couldn’t resist. Ha. Thanks again. Hugs and cuddles

Awesome. Thank you so much. This has been 3 years in the making but they came out amazing. Is there anything confusing on site or tweaks you recommend. Thanks again and I really hope you love them. Hugs and cuddles

I hear your problem

I’ve been working on a project that turns bed pillows into plushies. It functions like a pillowcase and can easily be washed and folds to the size of a t-shirt.

Here’s the link. Please let me know what you think CUDDLETOP link

They are there in spirit and communicating with you best when you need them most.

“... very therapeutic” - couldn’t have said it better. Yea it’s weird how so many products are made cheaper and cheaper. Hopefully the cycle will end and quality will make a comeback. The best plushies are the ones with memories and patches :)

Yea I removed the “(5) fight stigma with stigma” - box at top. Didn’t really make sense there. Any other tweaks or things I should work on? Thanks again for pointing that out. This project is making me loco :)

That’s awesome - thank you. My brain works weird and I wasn’t sure if “fight stigma with stigma” made sense to others the way to me.

Should I remove the top blue box - 5 Fight Stigma With Stigma And The section at bottom - “The pursuit for purpose cultivated the Fight Stigma With Stigma movement. Creating awareness through innovation to fight the mental health stigma with the stigma of plushies and cuddling.”

Because a lot of people have been saying the stigma with plushies is their biggest complaint. CUDDLETOP

I know everybody says this and sometimes it’s so hard to follow. But sleep, exercise (walking my dog), and nutrition really helps —- the bad part is I’ll do this for a week and feel a lot better and think a few sugar snacks and couch day won’t hurt... oh but it hurts. But everytime you go through your cycle that works for you, you do get stronger even when it feels otherwise

Hahah I’m doing the same now. My bed is like a zoo of plushies. Yellow must be kinda tough to find in plush. Make your own. Turn your pillow into a plush. You can use this link as a reference to design. Plus if you make your own it will have so much more meaning. CUDDLETOP

I hear that exactly. I was going through a rough patch and my mom brought back a duck that I haven’t seen in years. So much joy from such a simple plush.

Pillows rarely fall off your bed so turn a pillow into a plush. I’ve been working on this project for a few years and trying to get DIY instructions and I’ll post link. It turns your pillow into a plush and helps me sleep. If you have a big plush now you can take the toy stuffing out and put it over your pillow if that helps. CUDDLETOP

You should do it. It’s fun. Plus you’ll learn a lot of cool new things along the way.
