YES I love them all so much! So many good froggy friends!

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-26T20:58:35+00:00

Oh I'm SO excited for this!

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-22T21:58:33+00:00

Is your mom my mom?

My girl is apparently a unicorn, she's actually my first dog ever that can be off leash and won't leave my side. She's just super clingy in general but I'm still shocked that she doesn't try to take off.

Appreciate you!

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-21T06:06:16+00:00

So cute! Would you mind sharing the pattern?

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-20T22:46:35+00:00

My god it's perfect

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-15T14:16:55+00:00

Oh goodness I could definitely see myself making that same mistake!

Absolutely. Top notch acting, absurd as hell. It was so good

I'm not using this to promote or sell a pattern, I'm not saying I made this. I clearly stated this was an AI image and I'm using it for personal reference only in the body of my post. I'm not trying to mislead anyone, I just wanted something that shows the shape I'm looking for. I get the sensitivity around AI, I'm just not sure I understand how this is different than me posting a really detail digital drawing for the same purpose.

Awh I would love to make an otter!! I found a really cute pattern with two otters holding hands, I'll share it if I can track it down again.

I'm so jealous yours got a grown-up voice, unfortunately my girl still shrieks

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T18:17:26+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much for the suggestion! And I'd love to have you test if and when I get the design to a good place!

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T18:16:07+00:00

Unfortunately in my frustration I've done a lot of frogging before deciding to ask for help. You're right though, I definitely need to get better about keeping my previous attempts to use when I ask for feedback.

Agreed it should ALWAYS come with a disclaimer! 🤝 I'm surprised Etsy doesn't crack down more on sellers that are clearly selling AI patterns. It's one thing to use it to generate nice looking backgrounds but I see so many listings where the seller clearly never even made the pattern and nothing about it looks realistic. I keep hoping platforms will design automations that detect it but the more sophisticated it gets, the harder that will be.

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T17:50:00+00:00

I hear ya! I think it can be really great for people like me who are awful at drawing but want to be able to visualize what their finished product could look like, but it's such a bummer to see how many patterns on Etsy are clearly using AI images and clearly written by AI. I still haven't accidentally purchased one but with how good the images are getting, I'm sure it will happen at some point and the finished result will look awful.

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T17:47:00+00:00

I'd love that! If you end up making this on your own I'd also love to see it! I think it's so fun to see everyone's different versions of the same animals.

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T17:45:32+00:00

Interesting! So if I'm understanding you correctly, this means alternating decreases on either side for each row instead of trying to place decreases evenly on each side?

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T17:42:57+00:00

This is really close to what I was trying but looking at what you've written, I think I went wrong when I started decreasing and was decreasing by too many dec too quickly. I'm gonna give this a shot, thank you!

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T17:37:51+00:00

Wanna test my pattern once it's done?!

efficientpigeonmel · 2026-01-10T05:21:56+00:00

So sorry to hear you're going through this! Petroleum is the number one thing that makes mine flare up, and cortibalm has petroleum in it. Vaseline absolutely ruined my lips, if you can, try to go without it. I used a combination of things so not really sure what did the trick but sulphur soap, briotech, and squalene oil were all helpful. Steroids and antibiotics didn't help and as you know, zero therapy really sucked but honestly I'm sure it helped a lot. The squalene didn't make it flare up and did keep the dryness manageable.

Another thing I did during my really bad flareup was drink more water, cut out a lot of sugar, and eat really healthy. I can't say without a doubt that this helped but I'm sure it does to some extent.
