could it be those irrepressible thoughts of death?

It's not just any monday it's the monday before my ~~**BIRTHDAY**~~ I kinda forgot about it honestly because it's just not been on my brain. I've been kinda stressed out. Sewing room clean up continues. Finished putting the closet back together. Got a new bin to fit the homeless costumes in and reorganized everything that was hanging up. Now we're onto the fabric clean-up. Cleaned out all my fabric storage ...

it’s virgo season

Virgo Season is in FULL EFFECT. And i've decided i'm just gonna stay in virgo season for the rest of my life. It's a state of mind. Since i posted so late last week I don't have much to post about this week. This is one of the few things i bought at Dcon. I was thinking it was the ONLY thing because I'd completely forgotten the other things I'd ...

the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room

Not much in the way of wedding dress Leia progress this week - the only thing I did was sew the 2 back panels together and gather the upper edge. Yes that's all I did in a week. Why? Because I decided to complete clean out and clean up my sewing room instead. Avoidant behaviour. Last week I posted a pic of the little new storage drawer thing I got for ...

arrrrrrrrrrrrgh

That's the only thing I'm feeling today. Is arrrgh. I just want the world to go back to normal. And I never want to hear the phrases "mask up" "in these difficult times" "flatten the curve" "new normal" "stay the eff at home" ever again. Also if some filmmaker 20 years from now decides to make some Oscar-bait movie about the coronavirus pandemic you couldn't PAY me to watch it. I ...

i’m the queen of disaster

BLECH. Chase had a head cold all last week, he's finally mostly over it... but now I have it. Woke up Sunday morning feeling crummy and gross, and still do. I thought I had a bunch to post today but I really don't. I got the Leia dress mostly finished last Monday: All that's left is hemming the skirt, finishing the edge of the trim in the back, and a ...

fre sh vac a do

So this weekend I realized just HOW MUCH there is left to do on our house to at least get it to a state of "finished"! OMG. 2 weeks from yesterday we'll be having a bridal shower at our house (YAY) and then a week and a half after that Chase's brother Scott is coming down to visit for a week (YAY)! Ok I initially typed out this giant block of ...

i need a bat box

We did some yardwork yesterday morning and I got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos. I've been wanting to get a Bat Box for YEARS and now that we're in this new house where we have to do a bit more yard upkeep, I gotta have it! I need some bats to move in and eat all these mosquitos. I was miserable itching all night, on top of having ANOTHER migraine. ...

I wonder if anybody would notice…

...if I just crawled under my desk and took a nap? What is it like not feel tired? I honestly wonder. I can't remember the last time I wasn't tired. OK! So anyway. I have pics from the Belle shoot and also the symphony from last weekend to finally post, but first let me get through last week's sewing updates and the weekend and all that. First up, new pins! ...

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 ...

break out! before you get bum rushed

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! ...
