    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…

    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,…

    I forgot it was monday

    I nearly forgot it was Monday and time to make my weekly post! So last week I took a break from working on Chase’s suit – we’d gotten the fabric ordered and it was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, so I took that time to do something fun before diving back into the horror that is men’s tailoring. First set was…

    its monday again

    So last week – I think it was Wednesday night – I had a complete and utter breakdown over the pants of Chase’s suit, cried a little bit, and threw the mockup in the trash. The suit pattern I’m using – do you know how many pattern pieces are in the pants alone? About 25. The front pockets are 6…

    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…

    break out! before you get bum rushed

    So guess what! I actually did some sewing over the weekend. Not a lot. And I didn’t take any pictures. So uh… does it count? I’m not sure. Haha. But I’ll get to that in a minute. Ok so first order of business is I saw a news story that The Princess Diaries is getting a 3rd movie. And that…

    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…

    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…

    I really don’t have much of anything to post today! But if I don’t post today I may not post at all this week since we leave for our trip Wednesday! REALLY early Wednesday. Like super early. Speaking of really early, I had to come in to work early today… I was here at 6AM YIKES. And the drive in…

    shalalalala my oh my

    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 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…

    PUPPY

    Friday was PUPPY DAY! I rode with my parents up to Nashville to pick up my new “little sister”! I got off work early Friday and drove on up to my grandparents in Jackson. Met my parents there and hopped in their car for the rest of the ride to Nashville. Got there at 6:30 and walked into a puppy…
