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 ...
1. Introductions Every year in October I do the Fall for Costume challenge, which always has a lot of fun prompts for posting different costume pictures. This year it wasn't vibing with me and I gave up on it last week, the prompts just weren't doing it for me. I'm still checking the prompts each day to see if it's something I want to post, so it may make a return ...
No, i don't have the christmas trees out yet - I probably mentioned it in the last post, but we got a new hot water heater last monday! YAY! Our old one hadn't gone out yet, but it had gotten very inconsistent, like one time the water would be piping hot and then the next 5 days lukewarm. It's nice to consistent hot water again. But because we had to clear ...
It finally got a little chilly here. Went outside yesterday morning to get some catgrass for Luna and it was COLD! I'm normally a summer girlie but I'm ready to wear my hoodies. (I'll be ready for summer again by december LOL) Let's start with sewing updates -- I started on my Stevie top. I thought I'd get this in one go, because I based it on my duct tape ...
It's finally FALL YALL I finished getting the inside mostly decorated. I still have a few more lights to put up and I plan to put one of my dressforms in the front window in a spooky costume again. Thinking about using my Edith costume with my Donna Noble runaway bride veil for a spooky bride look? Gonna wrap the form in blue lights. Outside is partially decorated too... Put ...
Saturday I said goodbye to my old Honda Fit... And said "HELLO!" to my brand new mini cooper! OH MY GOD it's so cute I can't stand it. I'm currently sitting with naming it Agent Dale Cooper and calling it "Coop." I did also test drive the larger countryman version, and it drove pretty much the same, but at the end of the day I liked the look of this ...
Sorry I'm a day late! Chase just sent me the pics he took of my Valkyrie costume Saturday last night so I wanted to wait til i had those to post. But before i get to Valkyrie let's rewind to last week! First up look at all this fabric I donated! I was able to give all of this to an art teacher who has a sewing machine in her ...
