the horrors persist, but so do i

Whelp. Remember how last week I talked about my dressform breaking? Well, it broke AGAIN. I was readjusting the waist measurements and the entire interior waist components popped off. Ugh. Guess a new form is what I'm spending my christmas money on -- though apparently they dont make the burgundy one anymore? I'm going to have to get the beige one and hope it works ok without the wheels. But ...

happy june

It's June which means we are now FULLY into Dragoncon mode. But first Kevin's room. I talked about the trim colour last week but I took this pic with the swatch of the colour and I SWEAR how are these the same? They do look closer to each other in non-direct light, but here in direct light in the window they are completely different. But I'm not freaking redoing it ...

card declined

I love having to get a new debit card because of the "potential" it could've been leaked and having to go through and update my card everywhere. You never guess every single place it needs to be updated. Woke up this morning to a message that my card had been declined on a subscription I'm currently on, never even thought of that. I just went in and canceled it because ...

what year is it??

I think I mentioned last week we'd been having internet issues? I can't remember. Was having issues UPLOADING mostly, downloading was fine but -- for instance on friday? It took TWO HOURS to upload a tiktok video. Geez. We'd have occasional internet blips too, wi-fi would stop working for a few seconds, maybe a minute, and then come back. We called our provider last week and they had a tech ...

treat yo’self

The days are changing - the sunlight in my work office in the morning is absolutely killing me. It's reflecting off the glass of my desk and directly into my eyes. I've had to pull up the ends of the curtains to lay across the glass to block it. And this is why, last week, I built a blanket fort in my sewing room and just worked from my blanket ...

this house has people in it

Welcome to Groundhogs Day where it's Monday in 2020 again and nothing has changed. I actually do have quite a bit of content to share today though. Let's start with random stuff from the past week. First up, we got our ruggable! I really love it! It's going in our bedroom at the foot of our bed, and this week we're going to go pick out paint to repaint the bedroom ...

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 today. I've still been slogging through the photoshoot pics. Both ...

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 long it was wearing it around the house, but that ...

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 up here. Best coworker She was a good girl all ...

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 think they'll be here today. The eyelets were the next ...
