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…

oh wow
Starting off with the art today because I have it open so it’s the easiest thing to post haha. This is based on a ROTS era concept. I tried it in some different colours but at the end of the day it’s a battle outfit and having it be purple really wasn’t working. I tried to keep some different tones…

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…

It’s the first house post of 2019
At least I think it is. I’m too lazy to go look. So Thursday last week we TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR NEW HOUSE!! It was super exciting. I met Chase there as soon as I got off work, we had the alarm folks out to look at updating the alarm system that came with the house, and they got everything…

HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE
WE CLOSED ON OUR HOUSE (wait that’s the wrong Hugh Laurie) GUYS I have been DYINGGGGGGGG to post pictures. But I didn’t want to until we had everything signed and it was a done deal. I’ve been sitting on these pictures for over a month now. Almost 2 months?! So here she is! And uh I don’t have a picture…

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…

Building a shelf
So this past weekend after Christmas, Chase and I finally got the ikea shelf put together – we bought when we were in Atlanta for Dragoncon and the four massive boxes have been sitting in our hallway ever since, driving me crazy. It was a butt to put together. Throughout the week we’ve been working on it in the evenings.…

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…

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 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…

Finished floors!
Saturday morning, while Chase was off shooting stuff for a documentary he’s working on, I put the house back together and got everything cleaned up. It took forever! I didn’t take pictures until that evening when the sun was already heading down, so these pics aren’t the best, but… Before: After: Kitchen Before: After: Living Room before: After: I need…

All floors, all costumes, all the time
Floors are done! He had to come back for a bit this morning to finish the transitions between the carpeted areas and the new floor. Now to spend the next couple of days putting everything back together. Here’s Luna playing in the hall last night. She is having a hard time getting adjusted to slippery floors LOL In sewing news,…

Yay Floors!
The installer was at the house all day yesterday and got the hallway nearly done, the kitchen and living room nearly done! Here’s the hallway around noon yesterday. He still has to go back and do a small strip along the left side of the wall, the area in front of bedroom door and the entryway. Then the quarter round…

Getting the house ready + sewing
This week through Sunday we are getting the house ready for the new floor! I started packing up stuff on shelves last night, and Chase started experimenting with pulling up the carpet in the hallway. I took some before pictures (even though I already took down a lot of knick-knacks): The flooring will be here on Thursday, and has to…

An Almost Functional Sewing Room
I finally buckled down, found some energy and attacked my sewing room. Part of the thing that helped is the fact I made room in our hall bathroom closet for a lot of my wigs & hair styling stuff that had previously just been sitting around my office. Having somewhere to put all the wigs and wigheads kinda got me…

Luna & stuff
Luna is almost all grown up. And while she’s calmed down pretty significantly, it still feels like we just have this random wild animal living in our house sometimes. Haha. For Valentine’s Day, we bought her a big present – a big kitty jungle gym. We’ve been wanting to get her one, because she loves being high up. We had…

House and Teeth Cleaning
So I went and got my teeth cleaned for the first time in waaaay too long and boy are they sore. Not so bad today. But last night I was hurting. They looked good except I’m going to have to have a crown replaced. Ouch. (the ouch is more financially speaking than physically, though) I’ve been on a mad house…

work, work, work
This weekend was kinda busy! Friday night I got all my costumes ready for the photoshoot, which was supposed to be on Saturday. I burnt myself on a glue gun so bad I got a blister! That’s a first. Saturday morning we ran errands, but then it was too cold for us to shoot, so I went to work cleaning…

Hammering away
More work in my office last night. Tackled the giant pile of fabric and stuff in front of the closet. Didn’t quite get through it but made a dent. Mostly worked on the cabinet — cleaned it out, got rid of some stuff, found $30 worth of change and a ton of foreign money. Moved all my CDs up there,…

Organization
Trying to get my sewing room clean; it’s slow going. I’ve been trying to tackle it for over a month now. I did have to rearrange my patterns. I was bursting at the seams – I used to keep them in 3 little fabric square drawers, with some oversized ones stuffed under one of my chest-of-drawers and more in plastic…
