all for freedom & for pleasure

Well we are over here thawing out after the snow. When I posted Wednesday I talked about how much snow we'd gotten on Monday - well we got WAY MORE on wednesday! It ended up being a record - most snow we've had in something like 53 years?? Crazy! The backyard Wednesday night: The cove Thursday morning: So yeah Chase was off work again Thursday. He went in Friday, got stuck ...

white out

It's Monday again... it's snowing with a wind chill of NEGATIVE 3 WTF... but I'm in a good mood because... WE GOT OUR VACCINES SATURDAY NIGHT!! Yes it's just the first of two but I'm SO EXCITED and relieved to have this shot. Obviously we are not in any of the groups currently getting vaccines - we aren't healthcare workers/first responders/over 75 - but we got a lucky break. We ...

mini muffin monday morning

I got a pack of mini muffins at the grocery saturday to have for breakfast the rest of the week. This morning I wasn't thinking and brought the entire tray up to my work from home office (instead of bringing 1 or 2). They're tempting me to eat more than I should. Anyway I actually have some sewing stuff to post this week. First up, Chase's Chip jacket is mostly finished: I ...

all the things

I've basically got 2 weeks worth of stuff to post today. So hold onto your butts, it's going to be a long post! Let's separate this into topics. 1. Las Vegas So last week was Vegas for work. I didn't think I was going to have to do this show again but it got pulled together kinda at the last minute so there I was again. I was up at 5:30 Monday morning ...

a gigantic post

Warning you now, I have a ton of photos today. Going to start with probably the least interesting thing. Sims screencaps. And they're not even screencaps. I literally just took photos of my monitor, because I'm lazy. It never fails that anytime I'm in the final crunch of finishing stuff before a deadline, my brain is like, "Ok, let's play the Sims now." I started up a new game this ...

A giant art post

Yes it's a huge art dump. Well huge by today's standards, not so much by like... me circa 2001 standards. First up is a Amidala picture I've been working on for a while... I got bored after I finished the face so I'd do just a little bit each day because I didn't really feel like doing the rest LOL but I pushed through and it's finally done. It's a re-do ...

some stuff

They can't all be good titles ok? I drew Diana. just a time waster. I ended up liking just the lineart better than the finished thing so I'm glad I took a screencap of it. I did a little more than that but didn't like it so I'm leaving it like that one. In other news a couple of weeks ago I finally figured out how to work the portfolio ...

Glinda!

So mom and I have been working on a simplified version of Glinda's "Popular" dress from Wicked. I keep saying it's a theater project, but it's not really for a play - but it's for a theater related project. Anyway, we went a few weeks ago and picked out fabric, and mom has been working on the skirt. I'm in charge of the bodice. I sent the lining off with ...

Various art and stuff

Ok really there's no "and stuff"... it's just art. But the title seemed too short. First up is this Edith sketch from a month ago. I started colouring a while back but I got bored and haven't finished it. Don't know if I will so I thought I'd go ahead and upload it. Maybe I'll at least finish her hand, put some blood/weathering on the dress, half-ass a background ...

Is it Disney time yet???

So Friday and I had my "re-do" of my doctor's appointment from earlier in the year - the one I had the panic attack at and they sent me away! No panic attacks this time. BP was still high but not as bad as last time. It's over and done with for a year! But I for the past couple of weeks I've totally been stuck, like everything in my ...
