All rightie it's that time of the year when we compare last year's to-do list and see what I got done. At the end of 2022, here's what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2023... 1. Finish Wedding Leia -- YES! I did finish wedding Leia! 2. Rebels Leia -- YES! I have been saying I was going to do this for a few years and I can finally mark it off now. 3. ...
As I mentioned in last week's posts, I had a stomach bug or something last week after getting back from NYC. Even after getting past the pukey-ness and stomach cramps, I still was exhausted and had no appetite. Saturday we had to run a few errands and that was the end of that day for me. We were supposed to have family game night that night but I was too ...
So like I said, I didn't post last week, just didn't have much to say and we were busy getting ready for the trip. Not a lot happened out side of trip preparation, so I'll just touch the few highlights. First off I got sick as soon as we got home from NY Tuesday night. I was up all night sick to my stomach in a way I have not ...
Get it? The New York Post? Haha Sorry I didn't post last week; didn't have much to say and we were busy getting ready to leave -- but I will make a separate post of updates after this one, just to have the vacation content separate from everything else. So let's start with Wednesday! We went out to my parents' house, picked them up and headed to the airport. We ...
I actually don't have much to talk about this week EXCEPT a little bit of progress on honeymoon Leia. I can finally see it coming together! Sleeves! So last week I mentioned I gave up on lining the skirt and just did french seams. I planned to finish the edges with white bias tape - machine sewn on the edge and then flipped up and finished by hand so the ...
Well. What a week. Last Monday was HVAC install day. Our front yard with all the old stuff was a disaster area. They were here for nearly 12 hours that day. The new ductwork takes up SO MUCH more attic space :( I could just barely fit everything back in. I had just cleaned this space and our closet spaces out and was proud of how much room I made... now the ...
Whelp. Remember how last week I talked about my dressform breaking? Well, it broke AGAIN. I was readjusting the waist measurements and the entire interior waist components popped off. Ugh. Guess a new form is what I'm spending my christmas money on -- though apparently they dont make the burgundy one anymore? I'm going to have to get the beige one and hope it works ok without the wheels. But ...
What a weird couple of days. Monday we went to the Tiger game. Fun times. I spent the last week slowly getting christmas set up. I told Chase I'm doing "Maximalist" christmas this year. Basically I have never put up ALL of our christmas stuff. I decided this year i was putting EVERYTHING out. Everything ended up being less than I expected. Really it doesn't look any different. It's all ...
Halloween now feels like a month ago. But it was just a week ago! Since it was cold out I wore Leia so I could layer under it, and it's comfortable to sit in while waiting on trick or treaters. I ended up being home alone most of the night. Chase had to go over and help my aunt and uncle with something so I figured I was in for ...
Hey hi boy have the last few days been busy! Earlier last week I did finish up Stevie: But more on that later. Wednesday had dinner with the girls! Thursday a mysterious box showed up. Well, mysterious to Luna, not to me. Tiktok Shop finally got me, I said I'd never buy anything from there but... I did. This cat scratcher furniture thing. She has never liked actual cat scratcher ...
