our shadows taller than our soul

So it's been another week of unpacking and organizing. FUN TIMES. But the past week I've really dug in on the sewing room, which was equally fun and equally frustrating. One of the things I ran across that I didn't know what to do with was all of my CDs. I had a decent CD collection. But a lot of them was stuff I really don't care about anymore. Men ...

it’s been one week

I really don't have a lot that is interesting today except MORE HOUSE STUFF... of course. I've been unpacking, organizing, breaking down boxes for a whole week but when I look around it's like I've done nothing. It's so frustrating LOL Tuesday at work last week was like, the day from hell... so I decided to go home and treat myself. Nana & Kristie got me this gorgeous display mannequin ...

Vegas & Beyond

I'm BACK!!! And so glad to be back. Here's a really long rambly post about my Vegas trip, weekend stuff... a whole lot of stuff NOT about costumes. Well, a little bit about costumes when you get to Sunday. First off look at my super happy Pumpkin man! And mom found these while cleaning out something and gave them to me. I guess I have Thanksgiving decorations now, LOL. So ...

sickie

I've been sick the past couple of days but didn't realize it til yesterday. Monday evening I started feeling kinda icky but I thought it was just being tired from the weekend combined with an oncoming migraine because of the weather shift. Tuesday I had a migraine that wouldn't come under control but it wasn't terrible. Yesterday I woke up feeling "ok" - I packed up my breakfast and some ...

Closet Fix

In going back through my recent posts last week to add tags, I realized I use "ugh monday" or "it's monday again" or something similar as my post title A LOT so I decided I will not ever mention monday in my post titles again. Anyway, I we skipped out on Delta Fan Fest Saturday. I really wanted to go but adult life called. As I mentioned a few posts ...

Monday again

Happy Monday :P It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I've been planning to make for our next Disney trip - just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a lot of kids there and Chase and I enjoyed looking ...

Halloween & sewing room

Chase gave me the pics he took on Saturday when I was in Anne! Showing my grandma pics on my phone... Kevin chilling out (his wig was making a backwards escape off his head...) The three of us I really need to learn that it doesn't matter how good and balanced it feels on my head in the 10 seconds I wear it when trying it on. I always need to ...

More office work

Last night after dinner we ran out to Hobby Lobby so I could get a couple more glass jars for beads (so I could free up our tupperware to return to the kitchen....) and Home Depot for some command hooks. It didn't leave me a lot of time to work last night but I did make a dent. Over in the corner I put the hooks up to hang my ...

The Deep Clean

I decided last night it was time to clean my sewing room top to bottom... as usual throughout the summer working on Dragoncon costumes things just get stuffed in places and things get disorganized, so it was time to redo! At first I was just going to clean up the two fabric bins I keep in my office for "current projects" - which at this point, are just receptacles for ...

Car, etc

I forgot to post about my lovely incident last week. So Tuesday I'm on my way home, Kevin is with me, we're going down the interstate 70mph. When I hear a LOUD "blumph blumph blumph" - my front passenger side tire blew out. Luckily I was RIGHT at an exit and was able to throw my hazard lights on, roll off the interstate and limp into a gas station. Kevin ...
