and talk about the weather

I have just 8 more days of work before Disney. In those 8 days I am scrambling to have everything ready for work for me to be ABLE to go out of town without being stressed about it. I blocked off some time one morning this week to focus only on making sure all of the info for my coworkers is correct and make sure they have all the files they need. ...

Disney Projects Updates

Because I have anxiety brain and making lists of fun things is calming. Chip and Dale: So of course, Dale has been 95% done for ages now. I finally hemmed the top and put the zipper in last month, and finally finished the hat, too. So it's wearable as is, but I had wanted to do something other accessories for it, and also get new shoes, so... I bought a new ...

merry christmas

Do I already have a christmas tree up? Why yes, yes I do. It's officially Christmas time in our house. First up - here's the house Halloween night: I had brought the dressform downstairs with Sarah on it to take a video in front of the fireplace, then set it up in our front window. Fireplace: We actually had a few trick or treaters! 4 all together, 2 groups of 2. I had ...

good morning to everyone except covid-19

I had a dragoncon dream last night. It was dragoncon 2021 and I was so relieved they still had the convention despite coronavirus. And then I woke up sad. Chase and I took Friday off work and went to early vote. I feel like I'm the only person on social media without a cute mask. I've made a couple of masks but I find them too hard to breath in (and ...

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 pieces each. 12 pieces all together just for the pockets. WTF. It was ...

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 ...

it’s a very whiny post

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 guess what! I actually did some sewing over the weekend. Not a lot. And I didn't take any pictures. So uh... does it count? I'm not sure. Haha. But I'll get to that in a minute. Ok so first order of business is I saw a news story that The Princess Diaries is getting a 3rd movie. And that made me nostalgic for the books. I LOVED the books! ...
