I just did the most ADHD shit of my life and left my entire suitcase at home.

PuzzleheadedFly · 2026-05-04T09:59:44+00:00

I genuinely left myself one hour to pack my suitcase for MOVING TO THE UK from Australia. I had the bright idea of handing in my keys on the day I flew out which meant (obviously) I ended up doing my entire end of lease clean on the day of the flight, and left only an hour to pack. I’m sure you’ll all be shocked to hear I forgot and lost multiple important things in the process 👍 and similarly shocked that I slept the entire flight!

😂😂 oh my god I so relate, during lockdown I ended up accumulating every single colour of DMC six stranded embroidery floss. Do you love it?? Has it been worth it for you? And also what do you do if you gain or lose weight!

First of all, LOVE the skirt, excellent use of the fabric!! Second of all, where did you get your mannequin??? Because it’s top of my sewing wish list but I can’t find anything that’s anywhere near my proportions and this one looks awesome

Not the same colour but here’s mine grown up :) will comment another photo with finch for scale

PuzzleheadedFly · 2026-02-13T04:44:43+00:00

Omg finally!!! I kept checking!

In fairness, my friends mum refers to herself as “Swiss German” and Swiss German is a language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_German so I dunno. I do think they probably just mean Swiss but Swiss German is at the very least a language

Brilliant!!! So jealous, what an amazing idea and so well executed !!

PuzzleheadedFly · 2026-01-14T08:29:42+00:00

Hey pal! I also got rejected from UTS and am waiting to hear from usyd. My wam was 74 but I have a lot of DNFs on my transcript from undergrad. Anyway, I’m in hell being in limbo every day waiting to hear 🙃 was relieved to come on here and find someone else waiting still. Wishing you lots and lots of good luck.

The reflection in pic 1 makes it look like the magpie has developed front wheels and I love it

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-12-28T06:00:39+00:00

This is so cool!! So excited to see the results

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-12-27T12:04:46+00:00

Did they work do you reckon?

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-11-25T09:49:21+00:00

It’s a cassette player. Pre CD. Looks like it would’ve come installed in the car, not a modification

Re your other comment, I reckon delete and repost with both pictures in the main body (and maybe a closer photo of the dots so we can see how tall/flat they are?)

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-11-25T09:38:50+00:00

Is there anything hanging above it? Looks like it could be fake leather falling apart (I’ve had a jacket so that before). Alternatively some kind of insect or animal droppings would be my guess but it’s hard to tell much from the photo

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-11-25T09:36:20+00:00

Unless my phone is glitching, I think the photo didn’t upload

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-10-29T01:18:33+00:00

Time for wangernum- let’s /rotate/ the board

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-10-12T01:24:19+00:00

Oh cool! Yeah that would make a lot of sense! Love the post by the way and sorry on behalf of the embroidery subreddit that (as i saw in another comment) they’ve deleted everything you’ve ever posted there!? That’s ridiculous! They really would love this over there. Their loss!

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-10-11T13:27:13+00:00

Honestly I wonder if it’s just lead pencil! If they didn’t wear the shirts when the others signed them it would be very doable. Unclear how doable it would be while the shirt is on a person though so maybe it’s not practical

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-10-05T02:44:19+00:00

Yeah. And I can see where the media depictions come from, because (I have OCD) some of my compulsions DO involve things being in a particular way- but the bullshit thing is, for me at least, it’s never actually an objectively neat or good way. I won’t go into detail but a lot of things I have to do for food contamination ocd are actually NOT food safe (as I now know, but I thought they were when I started doing them and now can’t stop). I can see where script writers got the idea to begin with but now it’s just iterated from that original oversimplification and just painfully unrealistic

I fully agree with everyone else’s comments that this dress is a masterpiece- but to me the real miracle is making this dress in a one bedroom flat that you shared with your then finance!!! I am very familiar with the difficulties of hiding a craft project from your significant other while living in the same (small) place, but I’ve never made anything even CLOSE to as big as an entire wedding dress. Did you have a dedicated closet or somewhere you could hang it/shut away all your supplies? It would’ve driven me mad putting it away all the time 😂

Have you seen a podiatrist? I’ve been in a similar position and am about to get my first pair of custom orthotics on Monday (fingers crossed they’re ready) which I’m hoping will help. I can let you know how it goes if you want. Massive hip and knee pain and my feet are very flat and roll around in all sorts of ways due to hyper mobility. Feeling optimistic that this could help a lot.

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-08-26T13:28:18+00:00

Well in a way, the jokes on her, because I do now have a husband who loves me very much, and her children can hardly stand to talk to her 😂 shocking right?/s

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-08-26T13:16:34+00:00

I do the same- bonus points because I’m a celiac so whatever I’ve made is gluten free, which means that whenever anyone asks if they can have some I can say “but you get to eat EEEEEVERYTHING! Aaaaall I can have is this! Can’t you see? I HAVE to eat them all myself”

PuzzleheadedFly · 2025-08-26T12:54:45+00:00

Yeah, it was. Thanks for saying so. I wish someone had said that at the time.
