make the friendship bracelets

I don't have a lot to chat about this week EXCEPT costume stuff. I worked on Honeymoon Leia every night last week and almost all of that was me monkeying with the back zipper. It took me forever to get it installed without it pulling at the bottom weird. TBH I don't know what I was thinking doing the zipper the way I planned and did - I kinda wish ...

2020 wrap-up

I always looking forward to doing my end of the year costume wrap-ups. This year is sad. I really didn't think a year could get worse than 2019 and that 2020 would be a great year. Instead we got a dumpster fire. I'm angry, sad, depressed. All I want is to get eat pizza in a restaurant. Anyway. I did actually get a decent amount of sewing done this year despite having ...

hooked on a feeling

Today I have the last bit of photoshoot stuff to post! And I'll also say the website is fully updated, 2020 projects added, new photos added (except Hera, she was the last set, I'll get her added soon.) Hera photos! Very happy with these. Padme nightgown shots! I did some with and some without the baby bump. I like the non-baby bump ones better... EXCEPT that I didn't realize one of ...

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 ...

constant state of irritation

that's me lately. no chill. just constantly, constantly irritated at EVERYTHING. Except cookies. And potatoes. Those are the only good things in life. I really don't have much to post this week. I DID get my domain name moved Friday. At least, I thought it was over and done with but the new company this morning said my old one hadn't transferred it yet. I hope it happens in the ...

hurry boy it’s waiting there for you

Another week of quarantine. Been doing ok. As long as I stay off news sites, reddit front page, facebook and twitter I'm ok. Although instagram yesterday said "hey, you've liked 3 posts tagged #quarantine this week, would you like to follow this hashtag?" Getting down to only "emergency" rations of food so put in a giant shipt order for today, here's hoping we get everything because I want to make some ...

animal crossing, padme and not much else

I mean I don't think I need to tell you guys how shitty the world is right now so I won't whine here. Let's just jump right into Padme stuff. When I left off last week, I was still trying to disassemble the last bit of the nightgown. Or, I think I'd just finished it? Either way it was in piece or close to being in pieces. Last Monday night ...

if I just ignore everything…

... then everything is ok? Seriously as long as I stay off reddit, facebook and twitter I'm not in a spiral of anxiety. But then I go to something I thought would be safe and BAM hi here's a reminder that everything sucks. Fun podcast? We're going to open with a super serious statement on COVID-19. Instagram? Here's everybody who is using the Stay at Home sticker! Tiktok? Here's 20 videos in ...

boredom sets in… Padme Nightgown and Belle

So I have nothing to work on - I finished my other puzzle, we can't finish painting... so I pulled out a couple of old projects I never finished. First up was Belle, my 3rd version of the village dress. I thought this was in pieces, but when I got it out and looked it over, it was really close to being "done" - I'm surprised I never finished it. ...

I've had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish... keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn't proposed yet and changed a lot of our plans for the year!! 1. Ceremonial Leia v.2 ...
