If you have a fabric marker that will show up on your fabric, you can use it to draw a face on your teddy bear. Draw eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Make your bear look happy, sad, grumpy, or surprised depending on what you want. For example, you could draw 2 circles with dots in the center of them and raised eyebrows for a look of surprise, a big toothy grin for a happy bear, or a straight line for a neutral expression.

Summary: Draw the eyes, nose, and mouth on the fabric for a quick and easy face.


Someone with schizotypal personality disorder may express unusual or odd thoughts or excessive social anxiety that tends to be associated with paranoid fears. For example, someone might believe they are being monitored by the government or that grand conspiracies exist in which they have privy information.

This person may believe they have special powers or magical abilities, such as mind reading or telepathy. This person may be overly superstitious and go out of their way to avoid superstitious places or events.

They may also talk almost exclusively in metaphors or in an overly elaborate manner. Their speech may seem stereotyped or as if it is parroted.  While you may not be able to put your finger on it, you may notice this person’s speech and way of talking seems odd or a bit off. For example, they might make overly-generalized statements such as, “Everybody knows that aliens live underneath the Earth. The government has been hiding it from us but everybody knows it.” Often, people with schizotypal personality disorder have a strange way of showing their feelings. They may not show a range of normal emotions such as happy, sad, complacent, or excited.  Or, their expression of feelings may sway heavily in one direction inappropriately, such as being overly upset or preoccupied.

Someone with this disorder may lack close friends outside of first-degree relatives, due to a lack of socialization. You might consider this person a loner or socially isolated.

Summary: Notice unusual preoccupations or excessive social anxiety. Identify odd, eccentric, or peculiar behaviors. Tune into their odd thinking and speech. Look at their expression. Recognize a lack of close friendships.


The best way to do this is by turning off the electricity supplied to the circuit on which you will be working at the junction box (also called a fuse box) for your home. Switch the breaker of your fuse-box so the fuse for the circuit supplying electricity to your fixture reads "Off." It's always a good idea to double-check the flow of electricity by checking the light itself before moving forward with this project. Flick the light on, and if the circuit has been disabled, the light should stay off. If the light you are wiring is in the ceiling, you should clean any cobwebs and dust before attempting to install your new fixture. The same is true for lights or switches in walls; a clean work area will improve your ease of installation. If you are using a ladder to reach your light fixture, or are in a less than ideal position, be sure the ground is also clear of debris or anything else that might affect your balance or safety. There is usually, but not always, a decorative globe, shield, or some kind of external feature covering your existing light fixture. This could also be something more involved, like ceiling fan blades. There will be a mounting bracket holding your old fixture in place. You will need to unscrew this from mounting bracket, usually with Phillips-head screwdriver, and then pull it from the bracket. Be sure you support the old fixture with your hand as you unscrew it from the mount. If you do not support the fixture, it could fall to the floor once you loosen the screws holding it in. Allow the unscrewed fixture you are supporting with your hand to descend a few inches below its mount. You will likely see three wires attached to your fixture: a hot wire, grounding wire, and neutral wire. You will need to use your free hand to uncouple these wires, twisting the wiring cap to free the wires from each other.  Hot wires are those that run electricity to your fixtures and grounding wires are intended to offer surge electricity a neutral point, like the earth, into which it can dissipate.  In some cases, a grounding wire might be attached to the mounting bracket itself, rather than a house wire. This is fairly common in new light fixtures. You should see plastic caps, called wiring caps (also called a wire nut), with two wires running into each cap. One wire will come from the light, the other from the main electrical circuit of your house. Disengage the wires by twisting the wiring cap until it comes free. Once you have released the light from its wiring, you can set the existing light fixture aside.

Summary: Cut power to your circuit. Clean the old fixture and installation area. Remove the old fixture covering. Unmount the fixture. Lower the fixture. Disengage your light from its wires.
