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 ...

my brain doesn’t work

I swear my brain has just ceased all function since starting to work from home. My days are all mixed up. My weeks are all mixed up. How is Christmas in 2 weeks? WTF. I haven't bought any presents at all. I haven't hardly thought about it. What is happening?!?! I am in a constant bubble of confusion. And work has been crazy the last week because my email was down ...

who totally forgot to post yesterday

I remembered late last night. I was like, oh today was Monday and I forgot to post on my blog. My schedule is all flipped upside down between the holiday and still adjusting to working from home. I have a ton of stuff to post so I'm going to break it up into sections. 1. SEWING! So after last week's post I got a little bit more done on the Raddus ...
