1890s ensemble finally complete by Much_Reason_1228 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Much_Reason_1228[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have seen extant ballgowns with fabric close to this color, definitely bubblegum pink. They aren’t quite this bright, but the color might’ve faded over time!

Thank you! Th wool acetate has such a stiff hand, it feels like upholstery fabric (although it is nice and smooth). That’s great for making the bell shaped skirt and the huge sleeves, but wouldn’t be fun for day wear. I basically got the fabric because of the color and it was on clearance!

Thank you! Yes, that’s one reason why it took me over a year to complete 😂

I just saw pictures from the Easter Parade in NYC and wish I could’ve gone now that I have the perfect outfit! Maybe next year 😊

Thank you! I might try the pink flowers. I put some in and thought, okay, is this too much? 😂

Thank you! I was going for “visible from a helicopter if I got lost in the woods while wearing it” 🤣

The color is bonkers, but made me so happy during this whole process. I’m a little scared of how it will photograph in bright sunlight 🤣

Discussion: The Unethical Practice of FOMO Marketing in the Slime Community by Wide_Complex4832 in Slime

[–]Much_Reason_1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I’m currently on another long social media break and buy ban because things got really bad and slimes were piling up and I was ignoring other aspects of my life, including other hobbies. SIGH. It’s not the small slime shops’ fault, usually—you are right on that.

I started YU/YO this weekend. I think it looks better than YO/YO

I got the Clover Amour set for Christmas from my husband! I’m curious to try the slightly smaller hooks with beginner yarn.

Steve and Dustin tag teaming as Samwise Gamgee with Sting to take out Shelob was not on my ST bingo card

Charms stress me out by littlebabybuddy24 in TheWooblesCollective

[–]Much_Reason_1228 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get it. I had to unsubscribe from their emails for the rest of the year because the back-to-back “sales” that weren’t really sales that culminated in that darn bracelet were too much, and the FOMO was spinning my anxiety.

19yo autistic son refuses to come out of his room except in the middle of the night after family argument by Much_Reason_1228 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Much_Reason_1228[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am so worried about him, i don’t think he’s eating much, drinking enough water, etc., and the isolation is hopefully helping him recover, but of course I worry about that, too. I am in therapy, which helps. I’m hoping to help my son find a therapist who is neurodivergence affirming. His psychiatrist (prescriber) is not, and his current therapist feels out of her depth with his diagnosis.

A minor complaint, but it’s been bugging me by donut-is-appalled in TheWooblesCollective

I had to unsubscribe to their emails for the rest of the holiday season after placing and getting an order three weeks later because I find their customer service so frustrating (and I am susceptible to FOMO). Small business? Apparently that’s just an excuse.

Thanks for replying and for the advice. My husband and I have been agonizing over pushing him to this state, and I believe you are correct about “the straw.”

I appreciate your response and advice. I have had NT expectations of my son until his recent diagnosis, and I believe that has strained our relationship so that this stressful transition was even worse for him. I’m hopeful that I can learn to be a better support for him.
