Cuddle Party

[ysabetwordsmith]

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes. Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime. So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace. Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs. A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper. The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone. There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity. Come snuggle up!

(stickers she OR they, HUGS offered and cheerfully accepted once I know you're there)

Warning: with current medical conditions, startle reflex is high, and anything other than light touch feels like I'm bruising.

I had to go through our children's books today, because SlytherClaw Teen doesn't want kiddie cooking and history books taking up valuable shelf space.

Sorting through that is emotionally painful for a library technical assistant. But we made space, and I know younger kids who will be interested. :-)

Brought blueberry biscuits, chocolate chip biscuits, and the icing is on the side, in a nice little warmer. Also spiced cold cider, to suit the fall weather, but still humid and hard to breathe here.

I have Zentangle art supplies, and am looking through www.dharmatrading.com for tie dye supplies including clothing. I can't reach my sewing machine right now! :-)

Options:

* Stickers/buttons for pain or no touching.

* Put a cushion between you and other people to avoid accidental contact.

* If you want cuddles, have the other person lie still while you snuggle up to them.

Congratulations and condolences.

Oooh, Dharma Trading! I should look at them again.

My best friends here just discovered linen, especially for sheets. However, most places call bedcoverings "linens" while they're made out of cotton or polyester.

So if I can get real linen, they'll make SlytherClaw Teen real cloth yard napkins. 36" square hemmed, proper colonial napkins. :-)

I just really want to make mandala tie dye stars, as tallit and a tunic. ;-)
