Dragoncon State of the Union: August Edition
I know I just kinda wrote out a to-do list in Monday’s post but my brain is screaming in anxiety today and it helps to write lists. So I’m going ahead with my August state of the union. 1. Dr Crusher is DONE! Finished her up last week, last few details like sewing in magnets for the communicators, styling the…

weird & wacky
When you have so few pics for today’s post that you don’t even have a good one for a header… So what a freaking weird weekend it was. I don’t actually have a lot of photos to show today. Last week I focused on finishing up Crusher – I got the shoulder pads in, shortened the sleeves, got the magnets…

more than a feeling
I don’t have a TON to show today because even though I worked nonstop every night last week, it was all finishings on the jacket/redoing the sleeves/getting all the closures put on and taken off because they’re not right and put back on and oops it needs to be a half inch lower, etc. That being said my vinyl for…

Two Tales of 90s Child Abandonment
I can’t remember what it was that made me think of one of these stories, but then while I was thinking about I remembered… hey I kinda got left somewhere by myself for a long amount of time probably around the same timeframe. And stuff like this doesn’t happen anymore without somebody calling the cops or CPS but back then…

MEH
So to conclude the saga of the artist who won’t send out the stuff I bought from him… doing a chargeback with our bank today. Disappointing to say the least. So let’s see, what have I done the past week? It took me a few days to recover from ABC so last week I didn’t get a ton done. Started…

walking the children in nature
what a week! I am a permanently exhausted pigeon. Since I last left off, Scott got in Tuesday! Chase took the rest of the week off so the two of them could go get in to trouble and just hang out. Meanwhile I still had to work and was up at 5:30 every morning so I could work extra to…

Dragoncon 2019 State of the Union – July Edition
It’s been about a month since I posted my Dragoncon State of the Union. I thought it was time to update since then. As a reminder: I put everything on hold for about 2 weeks while I quickly whipped up a Misato costume for Anime Blues Con this coming weekend. It was nice to take a break from stuff and…

might as well be walking on the sun
We are now beginning WEEK FOUR of having no AC at work. UGH. They were here last week on wednesday working on it, had a crane lifting parts in place. And yet its still not working today, what is happening?! The biggest issue with it is I think this is the reason my face is broken out like a hormonal…

My Fav Podcasts
Yes it’s 2 posts this week again! Wow! (And you may have seen this post up earlier this week… I’d originally meant to schedule it for Friday 7/5 but accidentally published it earlier and didn’t catch it til later. Guess I could’ve left it but I like to space things out, so I went in and rescheduled it to post…

oh my
what a busy weekend. My whole body hurts and I don’t know why! So to back up. Didn’t get a whole lot of sewing stuff done last week, was still working on the house. But I did get my fabric for Hera on Monday…. Ummmm not an immediate love here. I set it out and decided to just think about…

white & nerdy
Chase has JURY DUTY today!! I’m so relieved somebody OTHER than me finally has jury duty. But at the same time hoping he gets done quick and doesn’t have to be down there all week. Because going downtown for that everyday sucks. Especially today, it was raining all morning and he had to walk a couple of blocks from the…

fre sh vac a do
So this weekend I realized just HOW MUCH there is left to do on our house to at least get it to a state of “finished”! OMG. 2 weeks from yesterday we’ll be having a bridal shower at our house (YAY) and then a week and a half after that Chase’s brother Scott is coming down to visit for a…

Dragoncon 2019 State of the Union
It’s the rare second post in a week but I decided it was time to do a big ole’ Dragoncon post so it’s not taking up room in my next weekly post. 1. Dr Crusher! NEW and almost done! YAY! Seriously I got my lab coat material yesterday, it looked great, no need for dye, got it washed and dried…

i need a bat box
We did some yardwork yesterday morning and I got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos. I’ve been wanting to get a Bat Box for YEARS and now that we’re in this new house where we have to do a bit more yard upkeep, I gotta have it! I need some bats to move in and eat all these mosquitos. I was…

Art is… a rambo
I had sinus stuff all last week (with accompanying sinus headaches) which transitioned into a migraine on thursday and then I had a migraine all weekend, bad enough on Saturday that I laid on the couch nauseated and feeling awful a good portion of the day. Every once in a while my medicine would kick in and I’d be able…

the saga continues
So my big plans for sewing all weekend and getting lots of stuff done were foiled by fabric! Namely by the fact I can’t buy/find the fabric I need locally anymore EVER (*cough*Joann*cough*) so I have to buy online and hope what comes is what I need – either that or pay, wait 2 weeks on a fabric swatch, go…

our watch has ended
Well mine never started because I didn’t even watch last night’s GOT finale. I haven’t really watched much of GOT the last 2-3 seasons? And for this last season I got spoiled so didn’t feel like watching it. Well, I got partially spoiled, then dived on into full spoilers because why not. LOL. But I keep seeing people talk about…

I wonder if anybody would notice…
…if I just crawled under my desk and took a nap? What is it like not feel tired? I honestly wonder. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t tired. OK! So anyway. I have pics from the Belle shoot and also the symphony from last weekend to finally post, but first let me get through last week’s sewing updates…

its a bittersweet symphony
I don’t have a ton to post about this week! Didn’t do much last week other than go to work. Saw Endgame again Wednesday afternoon. I had a migraine Tues-Thurs so it was a struggle to make myself go sew or do anything. I did get the yoke for Jedi Leia version 2 assembled. Here’s the outer grey piece and…

crazy train
I’m honestly very surprised I didn’t already have a blog post called “crazy train” considering how often we used to sing it at my old job. But I didn’t! This weekend was CHOCK FULL OF EVERYTHING! First up, let’s look at some sewing stuff. Last week I mostly focused on jedi Leia. My suede came in on tuesday so I…
