    Anime Blues Con Post – Part 1

    HI! I have a lot to post today. It was a long weekend! And it all started Thursday night, Ash and I had tickets to go see Trixie Mattel! We went and had dinner first and then headed over; we had pretty darn good seats (like 7th row center I think?). It was miserably hot in the venue, the chairs…

    ANNOYING

    OMG since Wednesday our AC at work has been making this AWFUL noise. It hasn’t gone out (thank goodness, still nice and cool in here), but it is making this grinding, shuddering noise interspersed with LOUD BUZZING! And of course the unit on the roof is DIRECTLY above my office so all day long I get the brunt of it.…

    YAY it’s done!

    Despite that title, I’m starting with art today just because I have a bunch to untangle from last week. Including a HOUSE INTRUDER, a LOT OF SEWING, some MOVIES, and DOG-SITTING! Since last post I’ve only focused on knocking out Clone Wars stuff. Here’s what I kept calling “Loyalist Committee Lite” I totally just used the skirt embellishment from my…

    well so much for that!

    After my excitement about maybe going to Star Wars Celebration next year in my last post, today I have to let all of the air out of the room. Since then all the 5 day passes have sold out, as well as Saturday only. We were going to have to wait on tickets til we got Chase’s bonus at the…

    This weekend was busy. Friday night was more work on the house, I got a little sewing in, but mostly it was getting ready for Saturday morning’s yard sale. Saturday we were up at 6AM. Chase ran and put the signs out and got breakfast. We’d put on the ad that we were open at 7 but of course people…

    Hooray for 3 day weekends! Not so hooray for spending pretty much all 3 days packing and moving stuff D: Yeah I don’t have a ton to talk about today because this weekend was like 85% packing, cleaning, and moving stuff to the storage unit.

    Thursday last week was our 10th wedding anniversary!! It’s crazy to think it’s been 10 years! On Thursday I posted all my fav wedding pics to my instagram story…. I’ve had a few friends get married recently and seeing their day on social media made me sad I didn’t get to do that (since instagram didn’t exist when we got…

    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. I’ve still gotten no sewing done at all. Haven’t stepped foot into my sewing room except to move stuff out of it. Kevin helped me last week move…

    MidSouthCon 2018!

    I have Tinkerbell and Peter Pan pics! But first let’s back up to Friday. I had Friday off, with the intention of maybe going up to the con, but definitely for finishing Kevin’s Peter Pan.

    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…
