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, but it'll be a step in the right direction. I ...
Another month & a half til vacation but I'm ready to go now. The past few days have been nuts, I'm tired of cold weather, and I want a vacation! Valentine's Day night, Chase cooked soup for dinner; he found a copycat recipe of Le Cellier's beer cheese soup and made it. Last time we tried this it made a HUUUUUGE amount and it wasn't great. But this time it ...
Ok this post is going to be whiny! Only because sewing was a pain in the butt this past week and then I had a DISASTER in my sewing room. But as usual let's start at the beginning. Last Monday we got Kevin's bed assembled! I'm hoping to paint it (the room not the bed) sooner rather than later. And get some curtains up in there - his room is ...
So it's been another week of unpacking and organizing. FUN TIMES. But the past week I've really dug in on the sewing room, which was equally fun and equally frustrating. One of the things I ran across that I didn't know what to do with was all of my CDs. I had a decent CD collection. But a lot of them was stuff I really don't care about anymore. Men ...
Starting off with the art today because I have it open so it's the easiest thing to post haha. This is based on a ROTS era concept. I tried it in some different colours but at the end of the day it's a battle outfit and having it be purple really wasn't working. I tried to keep some different tones in the greys so it wasn't totally grey and dreary ...
I really don't have a lot that is interesting today except MORE HOUSE STUFF... of course. I've been unpacking, organizing, breaking down boxes for a whole week but when I look around it's like I've done nothing. It's so frustrating LOL Tuesday at work last week was like, the day from hell... so I decided to go home and treat myself. Nana & Kristie got me this gorgeous display mannequin ...
At least I think it is. I'm too lazy to go look. So Thursday last week we TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR NEW HOUSE!! It was super exciting. I met Chase there as soon as I got off work, we had the alarm folks out to look at updating the alarm system that came with the house, and they got everything updated and ready to go on Friday. (it has an ...
and that's only because I totally forgot to come back and hit publish on my disney trip report post last week. So I published it this morning LOL. But, I don't really have a lot to post about today. Last week after Christmas was pretty boring. Work was quiet and boring. Didn't really do anything in the evenings. One evening last week I got sucked into watching some "Sims 4 100 Baby ...
WE CLOSED ON OUR HOUSE (wait that's the wrong Hugh Laurie) GUYS I have been DYINGGGGGGGG to post pictures. But I didn't want to until we had everything signed and it was a done deal. I've been sitting on these pictures for over a month now. Almost 2 months?! So here she is! And uh I don't have a picture of the front. LMAO. I just totally didn't think to take ...
Oh my GOSh I have so much to post about since last week. SO I have posted about this on social media at all because I DON'T WANT TO JINX IT. But we saw a house last Wednesday and loooooooooooooooooved it. We made an offer on Thursday. They countered on Friday and Friday evening we accepted their counter. So we are officially under contract for a new house. Closing is ...
