HI. We are back from Disney and I want a do-over, LOL. The weather was actually worse than I anticipated. Forecast was showing us a few days where the upper temps in the afternoon were high 50s/60s, so I thought that's shorts weather for the boys, I'll be fine in the warmer stuff I brought with me. Nope. Weather was AWFUL the ENTIRE trip. Even on the days where ...
Finally! Ok as usual let's start with what I SAID I wanted to make in 2024 at the end of 2023, and see how I did: 1. Honeymoon Leia - YES! This was kind of a given considering it was mostly done when I made this list in December 2023. 2. Star Wars Cruise Dress - YES! Turned out so cute! 3. Baylan and Shin - YES! Though I still need to drag Chase in front ...
Well more like 2 days late but at least I made it over here to post. Not a lot to talk about this week but I do at least have new photoshoot pics to share. Last shoot was my 3 retro style dresses plus Pirate Ariel. Like I literally do not care that this is made of parts of other costumes and stuff I bought, I think it's so cute. The Star ...
We're back from Atlanta! We went down to celebrate Chase's birthday. But, as usual, let's start at the beginning. Finished Honeymoon Leia FINALLY. Just got to put a closure on the belt and add the 3d printed pieces Chase is working on. And it needs steamed really bad because it's been manhandled like crazy the last few weeks. Luna says hi I've been wanting this bag for a while and ...
Yall I had over 1500 photos to go through when we got home. So it's taken me a hot minute to get everything lightened (every iphone photo inside had to be lightened...), uploaded, culled, etc. So let's dig in! Thursday 2/15 we got up bright and early and hit the road. I felt SO BAD the entire time leading up to the trip that Kevin wasn't going with us. It felt weird ...
I'm not 100% done... still have one very important thing to finish and one thing i want to do if I have time... but I have finished the dress and the bags and the magnets and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. So of course I sewed alllll last week. I was honestly feeling a bit frantic. Here's the top as of last Tuesday. I decided ...
Well I am back on track but really feeling the time crunch. My fabric and interfacing all finally came in and I dug into the bag project. These took longer than I thought; it took about an hour and half each purse just to sew them into the frames -- mostly because I had so much trouble getting the needle back up through the hole from the wrong side so ...
Well I didn't expect last Monday's snow to completely wreck my entire week of sewing, but it did. I was expecting 2 shipments of interfacing - 1 of a lighter weight for the bags and 1 of a medium weight for the Star Wars dress. And as I mentioned in last week's post, I ordered a couple more yards of the Star Wars fabric and hallelujah they shipped right away and were supposed ...
I just realized I didn't post last week. I don't think I had anything to say LOL Not much has been going on. The head cold I had over New Year's came BACK with another round of stuffy nose and drainage. Bleh. It started snowing yesterday and hasn't stopped! This morning: And the amazing part... no ice! I can't remember the last time we got snow with no ice to ...
