Some Tinkerbell, some art
I put off posting yesterday hoping I’d have all my Tinkerbell photos ready to go, but I’ve only got about half so far… but I’m gonna go ahead and post today anyway.

MidSouthCon 2018!

My fingertips are burnt off
Everytime I have a lot of hand-sewing to do, my fingertips get so sore they feel like they are burnt. That’s how they feel today. So yeah that’s mostly what I did this weekend. Hand-sewing and beading on Tink. Didn’t use my sewing machine once because everything left had to be done by hand. Did a whole lot more beading.…

Peter Pan Pants Pattern
I hope nobody finds this post by googling “Peter Pan Pants Pattern” because I’m not actually talking about Peter Pan’s pants pattern. It’s just something Kevin and I kept saying last weekend as a tongue twister LOL So I’ve spent the bulk of this week focusing on finishing up Peter Pan. Tuesday I was all like “I’m going to finish…

a waste of a day
Friday Chase and I used our moviepass for the first time and went to see I, Tonya. It was good but the theater was FREEZING. Usually in the winter I take a blanket with me… I got this tiny little Olaf blanket from the Disney Movie Club a couple of years ago that fits in my purse and I can…

Tink progress, Amidala fabric
Ok so wow… my expensive fabric I ordered for Amidala is ALREADY HERE. I was prepared to wait a month for it, because it was coming from India. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived Tuesday. WOW!
