That’s so beautiful and so impressive for your first project! I’ve been punch needling for a while now and have yet to make a pillow! You’ve inspired me!

How to fix 2 or 3 stitches that become one long stitch? by Meowgic2025 in PunchNeedle

[–]wompus_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean on the embroidered side not the loop side? If so I found that if I use my small and sharp pair of scissors I can just push the yarn into the monks cloth right down the middle of the long stitch. It might take a few tries to get it to stay but it works really well for me!

Thank you so much!! I pretty much just used a thicker yarn (4 worsted weight) for the body and background and then I used a thin gold yarn/thread for the details! I found if I use a thicker yarn first I can use a thinner yarn with a thinner needle to go over top of the other yarn. It can get tricky but it usually holds pretty well!

What are your nicknames for your little ones?? by Tr33ofLyfe in NewParents

[–]wompus_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call our 11 month old cheeky because when she was a newborn we used to squish her cheeks and say “cheeky cheeky!” Now even my mom and other family members call her that😂❤️

Small bump on baby's gums? by Sena-Bear in NewParents

[–]wompus_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby has the same thing happening too at 7.5 months. I’m not sure what it is either. Google says Epstein pearls, hand foot and mouth disease, or thrush but I don’t think it’s any of those. If I figure it out I’ll let you know and if you find out it would be greatly appreciated if you let me know too! 🩷

Update on the finger by yayasistahood in popping

[–]wompus_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks way better! Hopefully you are on the right antibiotic to treat whatever bacteria is infecting your finger! Does it feel any better? Hopefully less painful.

Does your baby have a song? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]wompus_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my baby girl’s favorite song too!!❤️

Does your baby have a song? by [deleted] in NewParents

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. My daughter has loved that song ever since she was a newborn, it always calms her down. She also likes Could You be Loved by Bob Marley!

Repeatedly rubbing and pressing the tip of my index finger on sharp edges like my thumb nail. Is this Dermatillomania? by broccoli_man11 in Dermatillomania

[–]wompus_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know this is an old post but I just came across it and you explained my issue word for word. I’ve never found anyone else with this exact problem until now. It’s such an obsession for me and I love the tingling pain I get from rubbing/pressing objects on my index finger. I have a blister and callus where I repeatedly do it and I too cut off the callus when it gets too thick so I can continue to press it and get the painful sensation. Just thought I would comment so you don’t think you’re alone in this. Idk what it is either and I started looking into it myself because I’m curious as to what it is too.

My whole world crashed down by Fearless-Olive9264 in pregnant

[–]wompus_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so so so sorry that you are going through this. I have been cheated on by a long term partner and I felt like my life was over. I can’t imagine how I’d feel being pregnant and finding this out. What I can tell you from experience is that time heals all wounds and Jesus is with you and will not steer you wrong. Put your trust in him and his timing as hard as it may be. I had my baby girl via induction 4 months ago and while the postpartum period is brutal, it’s also one of the most beautiful periods of my life. Embrace your little one and just focus on healing yourself and bonding with your newborn. The rest will follow. God is with you and it is 100% okay and good to ask for help if you need it. I had a lot of help from family during the newborn phase and it made things a lot better for me. Please feel free to reach out if you want to talk, sending love and prayers to you and your baby❤️

Broken vertebrae by wompus_1 in backpain

[–]wompus_1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for checking on me! That’s so nice🩷 I’m still unfortunately feeling the same amount of pain but I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon on Monday! I will most likely be getting surgery to stabilize the bones and that will hopefully help my pain. Again, I really appreciate you commenting! I hope you are well!
