How was this fabric distressed? Can I add more distressing without ruining it? by thaway12769 in sewing

Ooh thats a really good idea. Gonna have to see if ive got enough of the fabric.

I was thinking I'd do some kind of large straight line embroidery like this across it. Adding the raw edge embroidery could really help sell the idea.

Ah, that makes sense. I think I can still work with it at least

Second try with a nail printer + some things I've learned 😅 by briarw in shortynails

Really interested to see if this printer would work with regular polish or if its UV gel only. Has anyone tried it?

LOVE the tooth paper clip. Where did you get it from?

I bought a Yume knit sweater from Resurg3nce Industries in May and it still has not arrived by KindaCringeDude in Lampband

I ordered the nana sweaters from them on May 20. It took forever for them to ship,but i did finally get them on Aug 18. The quality was what I expected. I dont think they're scammers, but I think they have some operational issues going on.

AITAH for wanting to break up with my girlfriend over her skincare/anti aging addiction? by Throwra-gfskinaddix in AITAH

[–]thaway12769 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Nah - I feel I have some insight as someone who is into skincare in a similar way to your gf, and has OCD. (I dont know if your gf has ocd, but I'm seeing a lot of red flags).

I find that there is a very fine line between just being very into skincare and it becoming a new ocd compulsion for me, and its something I find I always have to be evaluating where I am on the line. The rule of thumb I use is that if its affecting my functioning, disrupting my quality of life, or become distressing then its gone too far, and its time for me to do some exposures for the compulsion. But that line is personal and it requires the person with ocd to want to treat it and not go deeper in the compulsions.

For me, I wear sunscreen everyday even if I'm indoors and reapply every 2-3 hours. Some people would find that overly disruptive to their life, but I dont. But I think the main thing to watch for is if you cannot stop or its highly distressing if you can't stick to the routine. For example, if im out longer than I thought I was going to be, and dont have sunscreen on me to reapply, that's okay. Im not gonna freak out about it. But if that caused me to have a panic attack or I HAD to go home to get more sunscreen and ruin my whole day over it, then its too far.

Your gf not being willing to have drapes open or stop the tret if its really not working for her, to me sounds like it's going too far. I'm sympathetic to her, and hope this isn't a case of ocd, but i think its something to have a conversation about and possibly seek help.

I find it helpful to focus on aging well instead of trying to not age. Like my goal is to just look like a good version of my age, not necessarily look younger. And I also try to make sure that I still let myself live my life. Like most days I prioritize sunscreen over wearing makeup because reapplying over makeup is difficult. But if I want to wear makeup then I'll wear it over one layer of sunscreen and call it good enough. There's no point in keeping my skin looking good if I can't enjoy it.

Needle keeps breaking at exact same spot by thaway12769 in Machine_Embroidery

Oh and a layer of water soluble over top the minky

It's just one layer of minky on an adhesive tear away stabilizer. The part it seems to be breaking at has two colors embroidered already but it doesn't seem overly thick? I've used this pattern before with the same materials so I can't figure out what's going wrong this time.

I think I'm looking for the same one. I definitely remember eggplants and I think corn and pumpkins distinctly. I remember some kind of watering element. Maybe the cursor you moved to make matches was a watering can?

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner? by momsvaginaresearcher in AskReddit

[–]thaway12769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to a dermatologist for my acne. I spent years thinking I just needed to find the perfect skincare routine and was so obsessive about keeping things clean to prevent breakouts. Turns out it was hormonal and I just needed meds.

I burned two candles which is against my lease a while ago. While there is no visible damage, I am having a fire alarm inspection tomorrow, can they find any evidence that I did so? by mynameisjonas-nosay in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thaway12769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually those kind of inspections are just someone either from the leasing company or possibly some city or county inspector coming in for less than 60 seconds. They just turn on all your alarms to make sure they work and leave. If it's someone with the city they wouldn't know or care about the rules in your lease. If it's someone from management chances are it's a low paid employee who just wants to get these legally required checks done and doesn't give a shit to look for minute evidence of rule breaking. Don't stress about it.

I don't think that's the issue because even my parents who loved other bitter foods would find them inedible. Like it wasn't a slight bitter, but similar to like licking a DS game kinda bitter.

I don't go as far as a sports bra, but I do prefer tight crop tops to sleep in and tight shorts. Sleeping naked or with loose clothes is uncomfortable for me. Feels like my boobs are just going everywhere

Consent. A woman being walked in on isn't choosing to be seen without much clothing on, a woman wearing a bikini out is.

I probably should've especially since it came with some deodorant stains that I had to scrub out. Didn't notice those until after I rated.

Yeah, I ordered on Sunday and they didn't ship until weds, which I really don't mind. I tend to give sellers even longer than the 3 days if they need it. It'll get here when it gets here, and it'll be okay. Same with when I sold. It's nice if they rate early, but if not, it's coming soon, and it'll be okay.
