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…

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…

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…

hello good peoples
Seasonal allergies can DIAF. I took a benedryl last night before bed and this morning my eyes are still itching like crazy, it’s driving me mad. Anyway. Let’s talk sewing since that’s the first thing in my pics for today. Last Monday I got home from work to a happy mail day! Star Trek TNG uniform pattern! WOO White knit…

ummmmmmmmm
my brain’s not working today. Let’s start with fabric I bought in Atlanta. New Crait Leia fabric. This was the most expensive stuff I bought. Liked how it has that tinge of a browner-grey in some lights and desaturated grey in others. It’s got a texture that looked fairly close to the close-ups of the cape. It’s not exact, again,…

Snap back to reality
UGH We’re home. Don’t really want to be LOL Because Disney World was fantastic as always. Even though by day 7 we were EXHAUSTED and ready to be home, I still would rather be there of course LMAO. SO! Let’s start at the beginning. Chase and I both took half days off work Friday. I got home and got the…

this week is a test of patience
Well this weekend was weird. To start off with, last night, I woke up in the middle of the night totally confused. We have a clock in our bedroom that shines the time up onto the ceiling. We haven’t changed it since daylight savings so it’s been an hour behind. I woke up at one point and was like “it…

it’s a disney hype post
So I went in to find a pic from the December trip to Disney World Ash and I took…. and discovered Ash had dumped all the photopass photos in my account! Of course I’m currently super hyped for our upcoming trip, so getting to comb thru all these right now is just doubling my hype. Here’s a few highlights. The…

I forgot it was monday
I nearly forgot it was Monday and time to make my weekly post! So last week I took a break from working on Chase’s suit – we’d gotten the fabric ordered and it was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, so I took that time to do something fun before diving back into the horror that is men’s tailoring. First set was…

its monday again
So last week – I think it was Wednesday night – I had a complete and utter breakdown over the pants of Chase’s suit, cried a little bit, and threw the mockup in the trash. The suit pattern I’m using – do you know how many pattern pieces are in the pants alone? About 25. The front pockets are 6…
