You're so funny, YawnGirl!

Rhinestones!!! Bedazzler: https://www.mybedazzler.com/Default.aspx?mid=523535. I actually don't know if that would even work. It's just the first thing that came to my mind when I saw you wanted to add some bling.

Ha, Ha, I actually considered that, but I think the material would be too thick for the bedazzler!! I have a couple of other options I'm considering. I'll post pics if I ever decide on what to do!!

I think you're right that the material is too thick. I have another brand of CPAP machine, so I wasn't sure what your case looks like. I'd love to see pictures if you make something. When I'm waiting in the sleep specialist's reception area I've noticed that every case looks the same. It'd be fun to have something just a little different.

I'm sorry your teddy bear has sleep apnea, but hope he/she is responding well to cpap therapy.

Here's my handy work! I crocheted my hose cover and it worked really well to stop the rain out! Notice my "cheap" hose hanger! Yes, it's a rubber band!

Fischdream,
I like the Mardi Gras colors on your custom hose cover. Very nice.

The crocheted hose cover is beautiful, fischdream! And you look so cute all geared up too!

Many people use hair scrunchies and ties to hang their hoses too. A very clever group, we are!

Jules, your panty elastic solution is the ultimate in recycling! That's very funny, but so practical!

Well, I wont be getting any bonus points for decor matching here. I grabbed the first bag of yarn I could reach in the storage unit and none of it matches my bedspread

That's okay if it doesn't match your decor, Jaylee. You get points for even making one. Most important is that hose rainout is eliminated. Be sure to post a photo when you finish!

Yes poor teddy - he is really my husband's bear. And yes he believes in cheap - this is the soyala FFM gear. The whole thing is these work better (for me at least) than original headgear that came with the mask.

If anyone finds a good source for the neoprene used in the headgear, PM me...all I found was much thicker.

It's an outdoor fabrics store in Seattle. They have 2-5 mm thickness, it's expensive though.

Yeah expensive but the headgear is really too big... Thanks for the link! Will investigate.
