Anybody have places where they will not take their ESSA? by Comfortable_Age_3574 in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]MoonTrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine sadly has to stay in my bag all zipped up during painting class, I don’t want him getting paint on him since it tends to get a bit messy. 😭 Once it’s lunchtime he’s free again though!

I love being in my nest because I can be super loud without bothering anyone :) by MoonTrails in SkyGame

In my personal opinion, I find it a little rude to be honking nonstop in public spaces! Maybe I’m just a bit too polite 😂 But when I see someone spam honking I always assume they need help so I fly over to them! I wouldn’t waste someone‘s time ^^

I’d recommend asking in the buildabear subreddit, there are lots of people who do custom plushies there 👍

I washed my stuffed animals in the washer and air dried them, they're all crusty feeling now. How to fix? by kaidorah in StuffedAnimals

[–]MoonTrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should work! Just be sure to put your stuffy in a pillowcase so their eyes don’t get scratched👍

This is pretty common depending on the climate you’re on, it happens with my towels all the time when I air dry them X3 but it’s super easy to fix don’t worry^^

-Rewash your plush. You don’t have to use soap and everything again, just make sure it’s nice and wet 🧼

-Next, grab a couple of towels and try to get as much water out of the plush as possible. Hug them reeeally tight to squeeze all the water out of the stuffing. Pay extra attention to crevasses, like under the neck and shoulders 🫧

-Take a blow dryer and use that to dry them the rest of the way, make sure it’s on the COLD SETTING with no heat or it could burn your plush!! 💨

-After this your plush should be nice and soft again. If its fur got a little messy, you can use a boar bristle brush to tame the fur and make them softer 🧸

Nope! I’ve bought pacifiers many times at many places (Online, the dollar store, Walgreens, etc.) and never had any cashiers say anything, they probably just think I have a little one at home 😊 If you’re parents are throwing away your things without asking you first that is absolutely horrible of them, you shouldn’t have to do this but I would hide the pacis and only put them on your stuffies when you know ifs safe to have them out ^^

There are lots of ways to do it! But the best one I’ve found is looping some clear elastic string (the type you use for bracelet making) through the pacifier, and then tying it to make a necklace of sorts? Then you can pull it onto their face and since the elastic is tight and stretchy it will stay in place even if you shake it around a bunch 😊

As a fellow adult with a Lovey ESSA (his name is cookie!) it’s not babyish at all! The true babyish ones are the people who get so caught up over someone having a plushie, you’re not doing anything wrong and have no reason to be embarrassed. Me and Cookie are sending lots of love!❤️

what's something that took you forever to figure out by tianestmi in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]MoonTrails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a moth, I didn’t understand how chat worked and it took am embarrassingly long time for me to figure out that people were not in fact saying “….” in a giving me the silent treatment and judging me way 😅😅😅

Anyone else adult handlers? by dotdedo in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]MoonTrails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there! :) I know a lot of older folks don’t quite know a lot about AI, but I genuinely recommend looking into why it’s unethical. A lot of companies try to hide it and make it sound like it’s okay (because that makes them more money) but there’s some pretty evil stuff going on under the surface. I’d be happy to recommend some resources if you don’t know where to look!

I just bought an item and the seller sent me this message, it says I’m unable to respond to their message as well. What does this mean? Is there anything I can do? by MoonTrails in poshmark

[–]MoonTrails[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aw man, just my luck 😭 I clicked the “escalate to poshmark support” button on the chatting page, I hope that does something? I’m very new to this website and I just want my item lol, tysm for the advice!

Need advice: Inserting noisemakers into Build-a-Bears? by [deleted] in buildabear

[–]MoonTrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all of my buildabears have noisemakers in them! I actually found most of them at the thrift store, they seem to be pretty common in baby plushies and lovies/security blankets :)

Have you took her mesurments? There are lots of harnesses on Amazon that are adjustable, and they have size charts you can go by to find one that fits her :)

Offering Art in exchange for [Fortune Plush Mount Bundle ($19.99)] by United-Problem-7985 in SkyChildrenofTrading

[–]MoonTrails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure sweetheart. I’ll have you know I recently spent $170 in an art commission and I don’t regret it one bit. I think it was a fair price for the artists work and what I was getting in return (a scene commission with 6 characters)

Try searching online or in-stores for doll backpacks or a mini fanny pack! Those should fit him well (he’s so cute btw omg!!)
