    its my birthday too

    I think I’m going to have to change my weekly post date. Mondays have become too hectic. I like to post Mondays because the most stuff happens over the weekend, so I remember most everything. But I think I’m going to have to start looking at Tuesday or something. But I’m here to try to get a quick post out…

    ayyy yo

    Sorry for no post last week. I really didn’t have anything to post so I decided to wait. Aaaand… as of today I still don’t have much of anything to post. I’ve spent the last 10 DAYS taking photos but have nothing to show for it. (Yet) I did not expect my little dragoncon weekend project to take 10 days.…

    the week of despair

    It’s Dragoncon week. I should have only been working today and tomorrow. I should’ve been heading to Atlanta Wednesday morning. But instead I’m stuck here at work, and I’ll probably be in my pajamas all week. I posted on my instagram that usually, the night before we leave for Dragoncon, I have what I call my “Annual Wash and Wax…

    there is no sign of land

    Hey first I have some sewing stuff WOW I finished the lake shrug. Here it is from the front. I think I had the front finished when I posted lat week so if I did, well here it is again. So last week I was struggling with not wanting to cut the excess off the back because I loved how…

    this time baby ill be bulletproof

    I once again skipped posting on Monday because I had nothing of importance to post. I did actually sew a little bit last night so I’m posting today. I spent most of yesterday afternoon listing stuff on ebay. For a couple of months now we’ve been stacking stuff we want to sell/donate in the dining room, and I just hadn’t…

    i waited…

    …until I had more content to post this week, thus why I didn’t post Monday. Monday would’ve just been a whole bunch of gifs I made on the reface app. LOL. I did not do much sewing the past week. I guess I did so much last weekend that I took a break LOL. How often do I get to…

    hi hello hi

    I gotta level with you I am not doing well right now. Last night going to bed, having nothing but another week of work to look forward to, and another week after that, and another week after that… just an endless desert of work…. Anyway you’re not here for crying. House is kind of a mess. I’ve turned the dining…

    i have things

    For the first time in a few weeks I actually have things to post! WOW First let’s talk about the pet dramas. My parents rented a cabin and went on a short vacation last week. So Skye came over and stayed with us. It was nice to have company in my work office all day, since Luna won’t ever come…

    it’s another post with no content

    Hey look it’s Monday again and again I have nothing of interest to post today. I had wanted to finish up Sleeping Beauty this weekend. I did not. My eyelets for the bodice were supposed to arrive Friday and they didn’t. They show delivered but they’re not. And amazon won’t let me report it until tomorrow because they seem to…

    hooked on a feeling

    Today I have the last bit of photoshoot stuff to post! And I’ll also say the website is fully updated, 2020 projects added, new photos added (except Hera, she was the last set, I’ll get her added soon.) Hera photos! Very happy with these. Padme nightgown shots! I did some with and some without the baby bump. I like the…

    a 4 day weekend and nothing to show for it

    Like seriously I don’t have much of anything to post today. I had big plans for the weekend… I took Thursday off, and had Friday off. Pretty much everything got derailed. One of the main projects I wanted to work on this weekend was redoing my closet. I didn’t get to do that because… oh wait. Did I ever mention…

    haha i like it but not a lot

    … i dont like it. So we were holding out hope that things would look better to be able to go to the rescheduled Huntsville con next month. But obviously they are not, things are worse here where we are. So last night we canceled our hotel. Going to see if we can roll our tickets to next year, if…

    i put on a spell on you

    I’ve got that song stuck in my head and it has no bearing on the contents of today’s post. But then again, do my titles ever actually relate to the post? Sorry for no post last week; since I posted on friday the week before I didn’t have much to share. Now I’m back with a bunch of stuff. Last…

    Into the great wide open

    I have meant to make a post ALL WEEK but it kept slipping my mind. Last week when I posted I totally forgot to include the photos from the Padme Lake dress shoot! So ever since I kept meaning to come back and post them but here we are… over a week later. But I do actually have more content…

    tired

    man im so tired. As I think I said last week my motivation to do anything has just evaporated into thin air. I’ve been trying to make myself work on ceremonial Leia without much success. My greatest achievement in the past week is that my Animal Crossing island got to 5 stars. I dunno how because last week I decided…

    FAQ Friday: Why I can’t sell my custom patterns

    Wow! It’s been a loooooong time since I did an FAQ Friday! (Fun fact: I wrote the majority of those FAQ Fridays between 2012-2014 because I was in a terrible place with my then-job and it gave me something to write and focus on to relieve the stress…) Anyway. There’s been a question I’ve been getting a loooooot lately mostly…

    imagine a world where time has no meaning

    because that is the world I am living in. It’s like time stopped in March and there is nothing to delineate the days from each other except some days I have to sit at a work computer in one room and some days I lay on the couch with my switch. Like I go outside and it’s like… how is…

    sew what

    Oh look another weekly blog post where I have nothing to talk about because I can’t go anywhere and everything is canceled and I have no motivation to do anything. Well actually we did go to Home Depot last week. While there we got paint for the upstairs bathroom so we can finally start redoing it. I was going to…

    a little bit of happy

    I’m starting off this week’s post with maybe a heavy link: The Discomfort You’re Feeling is Grief. My aunt sent me this this morning and it put a word to the way I’ve been feeling. I hadn’t thought of it as grief. Sadness, disappointment, frustration, anxiety – but grief sums it up best. So now that that is out of…

    constant state of irritation

    that’s me lately. no chill. just constantly, constantly irritated at EVERYTHING. Except cookies. And potatoes. Those are the only good things in life. I really don’t have much to post this week. I DID get my domain name moved Friday. At least, I thought it was over and done with but the new company this morning said my old one…
