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 our plumbing issues here? I can't remember and I'm too ...

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 now to post than just the Padme photos. Let's start ...

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 to totally dig up and renovate the entire front of my ...

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 it 90 degrees? It was just March and still cold out. ...

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 it a bit while I started messing with a mockup. ...

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 back, buy fabric, wait another week on fabric ...

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 and the weekend and all that. First up, new pins! ...

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 the lining/batting piece laid out. I actually got pretty close ...

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 jumped into making the yoke immediately. Cut out using the ...

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 for jedi Leia! But I wasn't super stoked about the ...
