the bold and the tired

It's Monday again. Working overtime Mon-Thurs this week to be off Friday... I think this is my first time doing this since I started working from home? Last year I had a bunch of extra time to burn at the end of the year so I didn't have to ration my vacation days. Anyway, the past week has been ALL JACKET ALL THE TIME! What jacket, you may ask? Because ...

that crying audio bit from tiktok

That's me today. Because I found these shoes for my disneybound Leia and they were too dang expensive and there's no way I'm spending that much but now everything else I look at is just (me crying thinking about the jordans). I think what I'm going to do is find some cheap plain white high tops and just do some silver vinyl rebel symbols for them on my silhouette. Anyway. ...

i wish you would find your chill

Speaking to myself. I normally don't sew much in Dec-Feb. I've made 2 full costumes (accessories not withstanding), and half of a disneybound already. I'm glad I'm getting ahead but also... like, calm down a little bit and stop feeling anxious if I don't have anything to sew. Like it's ok. I don't have a con til March, one in April, and I'm not making anything new for either. Well I ...

it’s a very useless post

Hey so remember how last Monday's post I talked about being sick with a head cold? Well just repeat that because I still have this freaking head cold. I was feeling much better by Friday of last week but then Saturday it came back with a vengeance - or rather, it came back with a migraine. I just felt absolutely awful all day Saturday, so that sucked. I say all ...

i’m the queen of disaster

BLECH. Chase had a head cold all last week, he's finally mostly over it... but now I have it. Woke up Sunday morning feeling crummy and gross, and still do. I thought I had a bunch to post today but I really don't. I got the Leia dress mostly finished last Monday: All that's left is hemming the skirt, finishing the edge of the trim in the back, and a ...

climbing in the garbage can

Got one more Christmas present from Chase. My work phone needed a case so Carrie Fisher in a garbage can seemed perfect. Got a good bit of sewing done this weekend. Not as much as I wanted... another storm, another migraine. But made good progress anyway. More work on the underdress. I decided to change the shape of the top and make it more curved - that straight across cut ...

back on my bs

I've had this post open and nothing written for like 3 hours. Brain's not working today I guess. Back to the normal everyday grind of brain not working. Got Christmas decorations taken down last week. As excited as I was to put them up, I was equally excited to take them down and get the house cleaned up, LOL. This is where the nativity was. Now it's a Luna. I forgot ...

so long 2019

and good riddance! This year has been a doozy. I'm ready to start 2020 on a good note. I did post last week but it was just my year in review, so I gotta dig back and see where I left off. Let's separate this one into chunks instead of going day by day. 1. SEWING! I'm starting with sewing even though this is my Christmas post, because, if you saw my ...

It’s the 2019 costume wrap up

I'm writing this a little early. It's December 10 and I still have 21 days to go in the month... and I think I may get the sewing done on Raddus Bridge Leia by the end of the year. In which I'd have to count it for this year... so I'm writing this in advance and scheduling to post closer to the end of the month, and if I finish her I ...

lots of whining

Sorry for no post yesterday. I was off work! But not like a fun day off work, Chase had another appointment for his back problems and I had to have him there super early and to drive him home and what not. I felt like I really didn't have much to post about sewing today but looking back, I actually do? What! how did that happen. So last post I ...
