    well im still here

    I was supposed to finish up moving my site last week but I still haven’t done it. I mean all the content is moved I just haven’t repointed the domain yet. I guess at this point I’ll try again tomorrow and for now go ahead with my weekly post… otherwise I don’t think I’d ever get around to posting this…

    moving on up

    I forgot to post yesterday! It was a busy day. Website move is chugging right along. At this point I think I have everything moved and it’s almost time to repoint the domain. At which point I’m sure a bunch of stuff will break and I’ll have to go through and fix it all… but I’m ready for it. I’m…

    hurry boy it’s waiting there for you

    Another week of quarantine. Been doing ok. As long as I stay off news sites, reddit front page, facebook and twitter I’m ok. Although instagram yesterday said “hey, you’ve liked 3 posts tagged #quarantine this week, would you like to follow this hashtag?” Getting down to only “emergency” rations of food so put in a giant shipt order for today,…

    animal crossing, some art, and not much else

    I mean I don’t think I need to tell you guys how shitty the world is right now so I won’t whine here. Let’s just jump right into Padme stuff. When I left off last week, I was still trying to disassemble the last bit of the nightgown. Or, I think I’d just finished it? Either way it was in…

    … then everything is ok? Seriously as long as I stay off reddit, facebook and twitter I’m not in a spiral of anxiety. But then I go to something I thought would be safe and BAM hi here’s a reminder that everything sucks. Fun podcast? We’re going to open with a super serious statement on COVID-19. Instagram? Here’s everybody who…

    leave me alone to die

    Well it’s been a week. When I posted last week I wasn’t all that concerned about our disney trip getting canceled. I figured things would have blown over by then. I was a little more concerned about our con 2 weeks before disney but only like 20% worried. Now, I’m pretty sure both are going to get canceled and I’m…

    can i do something real quick

    What a week. I don’t have a lot in the way of photos today, but I did get a decent amount of sewing done this weekend, which I’ll post at the end. Last week was mostly a fat lot of nothing. What the heck did I do all last week? I can’t even remember. I know Thursday night I cleaned…

    sail away

    It’s Monday again. And once again I really don’t have much in the realm of sewing to show you guys this week. I did do a little. Excited about my new fabric, I decided to start messing around with Liberty Dies Padme. Decided that my smallest hoopskirt was closest to the right shape. It’s not 100% but it’ll work as…

    please leave me alone

    It’s a Monday after I took a Friday off so of course I am super busy and everybody needs something from me all at once. Please just let me breath LOL. Also the internet keeps going down. I’m writing this post while it’s down… hoping it comes back up soon so I can plug my photos in. I’ve got no…

    the bold and the tired

    It’s Monday again. Working overtime Mon-Thurs this week to be off Friday… I think this is my first time doing this since I started working from home? Last year I had a bunch of extra time to burn at the end of the year so I didn’t have to ration my vacation days. Anyway, the past week has been ALL…

    that crying audio bit from tiktok

    That’s me today. Because I found these shoes for my disneybound Leia and they were too dang expensive and there’s no way I’m spending that much but now everything else I look at is just (me crying thinking about the jordans). I think what I’m going to do is find some cheap plain white high tops and just do some…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…
