I recently cleaned out my folder where I keep all my photos for my blog posts, there are some in there that have been there for ages. Among them I found this one: My sweet girl Speaking of cozy puppies, Skye stayed with me for a day while my parents went on a day trip. First up today I have some NEIGHBOR NEWS. The house behind us with the BEACON ...
I am right back in the deep hole of sadness and anger I was in back in like April 2020. Mostly because of the CDC mask announcement last week. I am so tired of all this. Also because my boss let us know last week he is leaving the company and I'm completely bummed over it. And dragoncon announced their guidelines and it's what was expected but it's still got me ...
Here we are beginning the last week of July. It's not a great Monday as it is, I have a migraine and 2 conference calls today which means my brain is basically saying "no" to any other work. I swear a call may only be an hour long but my brain is like, we have to build in an hour before the call to prepare and then an hour after the ...
Oh my god we're in the second half of July now. I am feeling the PANIC set in, mostly about Padme. My fabric for the gathered sections came in on tuesday and I've spent every day since then working on getting that done. Finished them up Saturday and then Sunday focused on finishing EVERYTHING else. I think the real one is all one piece, that goes through a small opening ...
I know I just posted yesterday, it's dragoncon season, I'll post as much as I want. I came up with what I think is my finalized line-up. So let's go through 'em, because I was finally able to order a ton of stuff yesterday and I have a better trajectory than I did in yesterday's post. 1. Wanda Got my HTV ordered and it'll be here thursday. I also bought boots! ...
Well here we are, it's monday again. And it's been another week of panicked flailing around for something to do to work on while dragoncon stares me down in the horizon. I spent pretty much all of last week doing little repairs on older costumes and what not. I fixed my broken Arwen necklace, finished sequining my Dorothy shoes (I started on that in 2006 then stopped halfway around a heel. ...
remember how I called a post a couple of weeks ago "lost weekend"? Well I take that back. This was it. This was the lost weekend. Ugh! I was so excited to have a 3 day weekend and get a lot of costume work done. I ended up being so stuck that by Sunday I didn't do ANYTHING. We ending up binging the last 3 episodes of The Queen's Gambit (which I ...
So I have been getting. stuff. done. So I had 4 costumes in mind for dcon this year. Let's just go through the list. 1. Padme (and Bail) No progress here since last week on my end - still waiting on my fabric swatch for the pleated sections, and switched gears and ended up not experimenting with the applique stuff. I was going to start on the Bail pants, but did other ...
What a strange few days it's been. I've still been having an off and on again migraine the past week - it's getting old. I'm hoping I'm over it as of today - woke up feeling ok, but there's also storms/pressure change coming through today, so who knows. First up, Luna is... Luna, I guess. Chase brought her home from her surgery Wednesday afternoon. Look at that poor thing. ...
Well hi here we are again with the increasingly regular mid-week update. So Monday the mobile vet never called us, which was disappointing. And by Monday night Luna hadn't peed in her litter box at all during the day so we knew there was some kind of blockage going on and we couldn't wait on this mobile vet, so Tuesday morning we got an appointment with a local vet. (She ...
