thats enough slices
First up, I finally got the portfolio updated with the disney costumes. The hold-up was my wacom tablet wasn’t talking to photoshop 2020 and thats’s where I do my drawings of the the little dressform images for the menu. The tablet WAS working fine in Photoshop CS2 but that doesn’t have the smoothing option I use when drawing. I updated…

wake me up
Ok so Disney is over and normally my brain would automatically switch into dragoncon mode but this year, it’s not. 2020 totally effed up my natural brain rhythms. I am trying to get myself back into a pre-dragoncon mindset, but neither my body nor my brain is ready for it. I’m still physically tired from disney. I’m finally over my…

Ok this isn’t really trip report but I uploaded Chase’s pics and the pics off the camera last night so here’s some selections from those. Black Widow Grand Flo selfie View from narcoossee’s. Chase takes much better iphone pics than I do. See? Like here’s his photo of his meal at Narcoossee’s. mine looks amateur in comparison LOL View from…

disney trip report part 1
Well HI (said like the viral cat video) We are obviously back from Disney and I’m still recovering. I had WANTED to post about the trip on Monday (before I forgot everything…) but I was lazy over the weekend and didn’t download our pics. I got my iphone pics downloaded Monday and then had to struggle through individually downloading photopass…

it’s another flashback haul
Yeah I know I just posted yesterday but if I don’t post this stuff before the trip, it’s NEVER going to get posted. I went through that bag of stuff from my parents’ attic! All of these clothes were originally in an old white garbage bag that totally shredded into nothing when I tried to pick it up. so I…

there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow
Mondays aren’t so bad when you have an impending Disney trip. I don’t have any new sewing updates on anything even though I said I was going to try to start on Padme — and even though I was off Friday. Instead I became a whole-ass new person over the weekend. I took off Friday for my lash appointment: the…

and talk about the weather
I have just 8 more days of work before Disney. In those 8 days I am scrambling to have everything ready for work for me to be ABLE to go out of town without being stressed about it. I blocked off some time one morning this week to focus only on making sure all of the info for my coworkers…

easterrrrr
Good grief this weekend was busy. Busiest we’ve been since this whole pandemic craziness started. I bought this bunny years ago at goodwill because I felt sad for him. He’s missing an arm and his hat is messed up. I was gonna fix him this year but didn’t. I’ve left him out to fix one night this week so he’ll…

and we will come back home
Under a month til our disney trip!! AHHHHH Only disappointing thing is that I didn’t realize I needed to book Savi’s Workshop for making a lightsaber. I blame that on the fact that last year, once it became apparent our May 2020 trip wasn’t going to happen, I totally tuned out of everything disney parks-related because I just didn’t want…

big mad
Today is Chase’s bday yay!! Well I don’t really have much of interest to post this week. I’m sure I’ll talk a lot anyway. I did do a bit of sewing last week – mostly, I worked on the little corset-bra thingie. Which I have no photos of it, because it’s not really for public consumption. I finished it up…

its not always going to be this grey
It started out rainy, dark and cozy this morning, especially with the time change, and now the sun is stabbing me in the eyes. WTF. I had to pin a blanket over my window just to get some work done. Also yall can pry DST out my cold dead hands. People who want to switch to winter time year round…

Disney Projects Updates
Because I have anxiety brain and making lists of fun things is calming. Chip and Dale: So of course, Dale has been 95% done for ages now. I finally hemmed the top and put the zipper in last month, and finally finished the hat, too. So it’s wearable as is, but I had wanted to do something other accessories for…

young rich & tasteless
Just one more week before Daylight Savings Time. I can’t wait. I hate the current state of light right now. I’ve been having to pin a blanket over my work office window in the mornings because of the light stabbing me in the face every morning. Also I like the summer “time” best. So last week was… rough. I was…

here we are again
Another week of fresh hell. I’m so tired of this timeline. But in good news my parents are getting their vaccine today and we have our second shot scheduled for this Saturday. Yay, I guess. I mean I’m glad to have it but the doom-loving news just keeps telling us that nothing will ever be back to normal even with…

all for freedom & for pleasure
Well we are over here thawing out after the snow. When I posted Wednesday I talked about how much snow we’d gotten on Monday – well we got WAY MORE on wednesday! It ended up being a record – most snow we’ve had in something like 53 years?? Crazy! The backyard Wednesday night: The cove Thursday morning: So yeah Chase…

walking in a winter horrorland
Hey look… I’m posting on a Wednesday, only 2 days after I last posted… what is this, 2001?! Well a lot has happened since I posted on Monday. The “snowpcalypse” was no joke. This is the most snow I’ve seen here in… possibly decades? Remember that pic of our cove on Sunday that I had in the last post? This…

white out
It’s Monday again… it’s snowing with a wind chill of NEGATIVE 3 WTF… but I’m in a good mood because… WE GOT OUR VACCINES SATURDAY NIGHT!! Yes it’s just the first of two but I’m SO EXCITED and relieved to have this shot. Obviously we are not in any of the groups currently getting vaccines – we aren’t healthcare workers/first…

mini muffin monday morning
I got a pack of mini muffins at the grocery saturday to have for breakfast the rest of the week. This morning I wasn’t thinking and brought the entire tray up to my work from home office (instead of bringing 1 or 2). They’re tempting me to eat more than I should. Anyway I actually have some sewing stuff to…

i cant think
I can’t think of a title. But here we are with another low-effort week. I really have nothing much to post today. I finished my hat. I ended up having to take the top part off, take it apart, cut it in half (height-wise), put it back together and sew it back on. It was just too tall and made…

arrrrrrrrrrrrgh
That’s the only thing I’m feeling today. Is arrrgh. I just want the world to go back to normal. And I never want to hear the phrases “mask up” “in these difficult times” “flatten the curve” “new normal” “stay the eff at home” ever again. Also if some filmmaker 20 years from now decides to make some Oscar-bait movie about…
