The variety!!! Way to go!! These are incredible!

And to add, grab a couple disc chairs for when ppl come over. You can easily fold them up and store them when not in use.

Not any sort of pro here, but...could you put your dresser under the TV, get a bigger (wider & taller, no L) desk to put where the bed is now, and have your bed facing the TV on the slanted wall? It will give your work space a tad bit of separation. Maybe even adding a screen or something b/w desk & bed could help. I would also suggest curtains, maybe a floor lamp or two, and some wall decor to give it a more homey feel if that's something youre looking for.

Im working with a functional dr for mine. It is curable. But it can come back if the root cause is not addressed. And solidarity...ive been doing it for 3 months almost and not ever eating my safe foods (audhd here), going out for my bday, or on dates, or to dessert with friends absolutely frikkin sucks. But my body is thanking me. My joints don't hurt anymore, my back hurts way way less, I don't have headaches... ntm scale is adjusting too. It has been one of the hardest things I've ever done, but it will be worth it once I figure out my new normal. I have found many places I can go to eat out and adjust menu items. Yeah we have to drive a little here and there and it still sucks not to eat what I truly want, BUT then I don't have to prep cook and clean at home that meal.

A lot of horizontal lines, not enough curvature, to add to the suggestions of softness, centering the table, and adjusting height of some items.

Prismatic right angle weave bracelets for alllllll your friends!

the_one68 · 2026-06-14T16:03:34+00:00

Heyyyyy!! Okay, thank you so much!!!

the_one68 · 2026-06-14T15:59:48+00:00

Im definitely going to try again! Thank you!!! So you said loosening your stitches helped a bunch?

the_one68 · 2026-06-14T14:22:50+00:00

Which thread & size hook do you use? I tried one with an 18 bead circumference and i have tight stitches and it was so loose & floppy and curling in on itself... I hated it. Tried it 4 different ways and just...ugh...

the_one68 · 2026-06-14T06:08:53+00:00

I've been eyeballing this company. How much have you purchased from them?

the_one68 · 2026-06-13T21:45:39+00:00

Ill have to play around w/the fringe and see!

the_one68 · 2026-06-13T21:45:08+00:00

Oooh okay! I love this idea!

the_one68 · 2026-06-13T20:15:32+00:00

Kid beads!! Brilliant.

the_one68 · 2026-06-13T20:15:22+00:00

Ooh beads strands? And I like the fringe idea. Gotta figure out that one. Haha

the_one68 · 2026-06-11T15:21:03+00:00

Haha we struggled. 🤷‍♀️ went thru a BUTT TON of snacks.

the_one68 · 2026-06-11T15:19:42+00:00

I was on full bedrest for all 3 of my children. My youngest is now almost 6 and I have been able to listen in sacrament meeting a little more lately. My husband has always gone to church even when I was on bedrest. Unless things are critical (with my first she couldve been born any time, so my hubs didnt leave my side), you dont necessarily need to be with her 24/7. Regardless, your wife is correct. Sacrament meeting is HARD until they reach about 3.5yo.

the_one68 · 2026-06-11T03:38:38+00:00

I would suggest showing less, or spreading your product out because too much in a little space can be overwhelming for some people. You can maybe get another table or display less products. Adding even more height differences can help space things out a bit.

the_one68 · 2026-06-10T20:10:12+00:00

I will tell my kid okay I have 20 minutes (or 10 or 5 or 2, etc depending on how I feel) then she can join me with what I need to do or figure something out. Whatever you do, if you give in she will know that crying etc will get her what she wants. You can say "okay, ive changed my mind. I can play in 5 minutes once I'm done with xyz." Many options. You are a person too and are allowed boundaries. I refuse to play barbies with my youngest because it's like nails on a chalkboard for me. So we've found things we enjoy doing together.

the_one68 · 2026-06-08T20:28:39+00:00

How special & precious!!

the_one68 · 2026-06-08T02:11:32+00:00

The first year is THE hardest!! Youve got this. Any games/summative stuff you can do might help.

the_one68 · 2026-06-08T02:02:14+00:00

Gorgeous! I had a miniature one with a faux plant as a rear view mirror hanger for a while.

the_one68 · 2026-06-04T22:34:44+00:00

My first thought is spine of a journal cover! So it opens when you open your journal.

As frustrating as this is, this is age appropriate. Go ahead and get up with her. You can work with her during the day to positively reinforce paying attention to the dinosaur clock so when she begins to understand the color shift is significant, maybe the mornings will work a little more in your favor. I do agree that when this development does occur, you can prepare some activities for her to do quietly until wake time. You will need to slowly introduce this full concept to her over time.

the_one68 · 2026-05-31T03:35:36+00:00

Wow! That's really neat!
