On Friday, I got a new dishwasher I had a major panic attack at the dr, didn't get to have my checkup, got sent away in a wheelchair with a prescription for xanax On Saturday, I had to buy two new tires for the Fit I celebrated not one but TWO 65th wedding anniversaries Went to a Harry Potter party On Sunday, I got a new laptop! I had a ...
I have 3 topics today. 1. The Flipping Dishwasher Chase and I have been without a dishwasher for over a year. It gave out last year... Chase tried to fix it but it was shot. (It was pretty old. Came with the house.) We FINALLY went shopping for a new one 2 weeks ago, picked one out at Home Depot - I talked about a few days ago. Mom offered to sit at ...
We had a nice weekend, spent Friday evening-Sunday morning at my grandparents. I also FINALLY got Snapchat to work with an animal face: A few weeks ago Mema was ironing and ran outside for something or another... the cat knocked the iron over onto the floor and caused a lovely burn mark. They are having to get new tile put in but I'm glad I captured Catty Bob's attempt at ...
Wednesday night, I focused on getting the sleeve mock-up finished up: Pretty happy with the shape. Somewhere I have a bag of tulle I want to stuff them with but I didn't have the energy to look for it. I also got the trim along the neckline quickly sewn on, though last night I went back and tightened it up a little. Chase helped me get my stencil cut out ...
I was going to work on the shawl last night but I didn't feel like it... instead I dug out some leftover pink lining to start looking at a mock-up for the sleeves. Beyond cutting them out and pinning them I didn't really do much more than that. I trimmed up the shape of the second one, but of course that's not the one I took photos of. Tonight I'll ...
My little weirdo snuck in my office the other night and was in fur heaven. I had to kick her out when she started trying to eat it, though. I didn't get to do a ton of sewing this weekend. Saturday was move day for my grandma. After my Pawpaw passed last year, we got her into an assisted living place, but it was all very fast. A few weeks ...
A couple of weeks ago we got some new hardware from Comcast/xfinity - the box it all came in turned out to be Luna's favourite thing. I put some towels down in it and she just hangs out in it sometimes. I went home for lunch yesterday and she was sleeping in it when I walked in. All the cat houses, cat beds and toys we get her and ...
I think it's starting to look like something. I got the skirt panels sewn together last night -- nothing fancy there. Just pinned them onto the form over my petticoat to see what they were looking like. It's too long but I cut it extra long so I'd have plenty to work with. I'm thinking I maaay have to make either a secondary skirt or a full on petticoat... the ...
I've had a cold since I got back from Disney, and on top of that had a migraine come on Saturday... ugh! Despite that I actually got some sewing done over the weekend! Saturday I got over to Joann's, hoping to find fabric for the bodice of my Dragon Con costume, and failing that, I figured I'd get the white satin I needed for the skirt. Well I ended up ...
I call this, "The Agony of Dragon Con"
