    Art is… a rambo

    I had sinus stuff all last week (with accompanying sinus headaches) which transitioned into a migraine on thursday and then I had a migraine all weekend, bad enough on Saturday that I laid on the couch nauseated and feeling awful a good portion of the day. Every once in a while my medicine would kick in and I’d be able…

    the saga continues

    So my big plans for sewing all weekend and getting lots of stuff done were foiled by fabric! Namely by the fact I can’t buy/find the fabric I need locally anymore EVER (*cough*Joann*cough*) so I have to buy online and hope what comes is what I need – either that or pay, wait 2 weeks on a fabric swatch, go…

    our watch has ended

    Well mine never started because I didn’t even watch last night’s GOT finale. I haven’t really watched much of GOT the last 2-3 seasons? And for this last season I got spoiled so didn’t feel like watching it. Well, I got partially spoiled, then dived on into full spoilers because why not. LOL. But I keep seeing people talk about…

    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…

    its a bittersweet symphony

    I don’t have a ton to post about this week! Didn’t do much last week other than go to work. Saw Endgame again Wednesday afternoon. I had a migraine Tues-Thurs so it was a struggle to make myself go sew or do anything. I did get the yoke for Jedi Leia version 2 assembled. Here’s the outer grey piece and…

    crazy train

    I’m honestly very surprised I didn’t already have a blog post called “crazy train” considering how often we used to sing it at my old job. But I didn’t! This weekend was CHOCK FULL OF EVERYTHING! First up, let’s look at some sewing stuff. Last week I mostly focused on jedi Leia. My suede came in on tuesday so I…

    hello good peoples

    Seasonal allergies can DIAF. I took a benedryl last night before bed and this morning my eyes are still itching like crazy, it’s driving me mad. Anyway. Let’s talk sewing since that’s the first thing in my pics for today. Last Monday I got home from work to a happy mail day! Star Trek TNG uniform pattern! WOO White knit…

    ummmmmmmmm

    my brain’s not working today. Let’s start with fabric I bought in Atlanta. New Crait Leia fabric. This was the most expensive stuff I bought. Liked how it has that tinge of a browner-grey in some lights and desaturated grey in others. It’s got a texture that looked fairly close to the close-ups of the cape. It’s not exact, again,…

    Snap back to reality

    UGH We’re home. Don’t really want to be LOL Because Disney World was fantastic as always. Even though by day 7 we were EXHAUSTED and ready to be home, I still would rather be there of course LMAO. SO! Let’s start at the beginning. Chase and I both took half days off work Friday. I got home and got the…

    this week is a test of patience

    Well this weekend was weird. To start off with, last night, I woke up in the middle of the night totally confused. We have a clock in our bedroom that shines the time up onto the ceiling. We haven’t changed it since daylight savings so it’s been an hour behind. I woke up at one point and was like “it…

    a thousand rainy days since we first met

    It’s been raining like crazy here the past couple of weeks. Which means it’s been migraine city as the weather shifts back and forth. This weekend was rather uneventful. I mostly worked on Chase’s suit since I was waiting on the new fabric for recutting the top of my dress. New fabric came in Friday but I was on a…

    i am ready for orlando

    Another month & a half til vacation but I’m ready to go now. The past few days have been nuts, I’m tired of cold weather, and I want a vacation! Valentine’s Day night, Chase cooked soup for dinner; he found a copycat recipe of Le Cellier’s beer cheese soup and made it. Last time we tried this it made a…

    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…

    it’s 2 posts in one day

    and that’s only because I totally forgot to come back and hit publish on my disney trip report post last week. So I published it this morning LOL. But, I don’t really have a lot to post about today. Last week after Christmas was pretty boring. Work was quiet and boring. Didn’t really do anything in the evenings. One evening…

    2018 Year in Review!

    Another year, another year in review! 2018 was a crazy year of packing and moving. Trying to make stuff in between packing, in between moving, while living with family with 90% of my stuff in storage, has been hectic to say the least! So to start off with, here are the projects I said I wanted to do in 2018……

    OK! So in my last post I talked about being done with the Little Mermaid costumes! Well, Monday afternoon I rode with mom over to the theater to help add some straps to the mermaid tops – even though the mermaids were all wearing black leotards under the tops they were still having some issues keeping them on and in…

    that girl sheds like a labrador

    THE PLAY IS OVER! It was really fun but I’m glad it’s over! I totally stole the pic in my blog header because it was a great pic of the whole cast showing the whole stage. Program cover which I drew in case you couldn’t tell. I had about 30 seconds of time onstage where I needed to look like…

    so many puppy pictures

    I hope everybody had a nice thanksgiving! Let’s start off with my overdue Amidala photos. First, a few from the con. Fancy couch (I want one like this) I probably posted this one last week but oh well. And at Overton: “I want to take a picture in that chair” And now on with the show. Monday I finished up…

    so magical

    I don’t have a ton to post today. Despite Saturday being a con day. Last week was play practices, me feeling crappy, going to see Fantastic Beasts 2. This BP medicine they put me on is killing me, just a constant nagging exhaustion and headache all the time. Fantastic Beasts 2 was fun. Not my favourite but it was fun…
