So I can’t sit up for very long but I loved make my own press ons. I miss having hobbies but they’re kinda awkward to try doing laying down. Also, a picture of some I did!

How is that? Ive never cross stitched. I find the nail to be really hard because it messy. I kinda wanna try making felt figures. I feel like that might be easier? Idk 😭

It’s ok but not great. You need both hands so it’s hard to do without a position that won’t make some fingers fall asleep eventually lol. I paint my own nails laying down over a lap desk and hold the polish bottle between the fingers of the hand I’m painting, but idk how I’d stabilize it for press ons I’m painting off my nail. Just really big drop cloth for spills?

Yeah. With the nails I have spilt so much. And I use gel polish so if you get it on your skin too much you can become allergic oof. The press ons I basically have to hold the polish and the press on holder between three or four fingers and use my other hand to paint 😭 very much to ideal. But I feel like the cross stitching I would like bc I hate the feeling on pins and needles you get when shi falls asleep

I assume normal people could do it lying on their backs to avoid that problem. I’m like a cow, I lay on my back and my own weight crushes my organs and makes my tummy hurt 😅 (I’m kidding it’s vascular abnormalities that messes up my gi but it’s much funnier to be a cow) so I gotta do it on my stomach propped up on my elbows
