    it’s another post with no content

    Hey look it’s Monday again and again I have nothing of interest to post today. I had wanted to finish up Sleeping Beauty this weekend. I did not. My eyelets for the bodice were supposed to arrive Friday and they didn’t. They show delivered but they’re not. And amazon won’t let me report it until tomorrow because they seem to…

    hooked on a feeling

    Today I have the last bit of photoshoot stuff to post! And I’ll also say the website is fully updated, 2020 projects added, new photos added (except Hera, she was the last set, I’ll get her added soon.) Hera photos! Very happy with these. Padme nightgown shots! I did some with and some without the baby bump. I like the…

    a 4 day weekend and nothing to show for it

    Like seriously I don’t have much of anything to post today. I had big plans for the weekend… I took Thursday off, and had Friday off. Pretty much everything got derailed. One of the main projects I wanted to work on this weekend was redoing my closet. I didn’t get to do that because… oh wait. Did I ever mention…

    haha i like it but not a lot

    … i dont like it. So we were holding out hope that things would look better to be able to go to the rescheduled Huntsville con next month. But obviously they are not, things are worse here where we are. So last night we canceled our hotel. Going to see if we can roll our tickets to next year, if…

    i put on a spell on you

    I’ve got that song stuck in my head and it has no bearing on the contents of today’s post. But then again, do my titles ever actually relate to the post? Sorry for no post last week; since I posted on friday the week before I didn’t have much to share. Now I’m back with a bunch of stuff. Last…

    Into the great wide open

    I have meant to make a post ALL WEEK but it kept slipping my mind. Last week when I posted I totally forgot to include the photos from the Padme Lake dress shoot! So ever since I kept meaning to come back and post them but here we are… over a week later. But I do actually have more content…

    tired

    man im so tired. As I think I said last week my motivation to do anything has just evaporated into thin air. I’ve been trying to make myself work on ceremonial Leia without much success. My greatest achievement in the past week is that my Animal Crossing island got to 5 stars. I dunno how because last week I decided…

    FAQ Friday: Why I can’t sell my custom patterns

    Wow! It’s been a loooooong time since I did an FAQ Friday! (Fun fact: I wrote the majority of those FAQ Fridays between 2012-2014 because I was in a terrible place with my then-job and it gave me something to write and focus on to relieve the stress…) Anyway. There’s been a question I’ve been getting a loooooot lately mostly…

    imagine a world where time has no meaning

    because that is the world I am living in. It’s like time stopped in March and there is nothing to delineate the days from each other except some days I have to sit at a work computer in one room and some days I lay on the couch with my switch. Like I go outside and it’s like… how is…

    sew what

    Oh look another weekly blog post where I have nothing to talk about because I can’t go anywhere and everything is canceled and I have no motivation to do anything. Well actually we did go to Home Depot last week. While there we got paint for the upstairs bathroom so we can finally start redoing it. I was going to…

    a little bit of happy

    I’m starting off this week’s post with maybe a heavy link: The Discomfort You’re Feeling is Grief. My aunt sent me this this morning and it put a word to the way I’ve been feeling. I hadn’t thought of it as grief. Sadness, disappointment, frustration, anxiety – but grief sums it up best. So now that that is out of…

    constant state of irritation

    that’s me lately. no chill. just constantly, constantly irritated at EVERYTHING. Except cookies. And potatoes. Those are the only good things in life. I really don’t have much to post this week. I DID get my domain name moved Friday. At least, I thought it was over and done with but the new company this morning said my old one…

    well im still here

    I was supposed to finish up moving my site last week but I still haven’t done it. I mean all the content is moved I just haven’t repointed the domain yet. I guess at this point I’ll try again tomorrow and for now go ahead with my weekly post… otherwise I don’t think I’d ever get around to posting this…

    moving on up

    I forgot to post yesterday! It was a busy day. Website move is chugging right along. At this point I think I have everything moved and it’s almost time to repoint the domain. At which point I’m sure a bunch of stuff will break and I’ll have to go through and fix it all… but I’m ready for it. I’m…

    hurry boy it’s waiting there for you

    Another week of quarantine. Been doing ok. As long as I stay off news sites, reddit front page, facebook and twitter I’m ok. Although instagram yesterday said “hey, you’ve liked 3 posts tagged #quarantine this week, would you like to follow this hashtag?” Getting down to only “emergency” rations of food so put in a giant shipt order for today,…

    animal crossing, some art, and not much else

    I mean I don’t think I need to tell you guys how shitty the world is right now so I won’t whine here. Let’s just jump right into Padme stuff. When I left off last week, I was still trying to disassemble the last bit of the nightgown. Or, I think I’d just finished it? Either way it was in…

    … then everything is ok? Seriously as long as I stay off reddit, facebook and twitter I’m not in a spiral of anxiety. But then I go to something I thought would be safe and BAM hi here’s a reminder that everything sucks. Fun podcast? We’re going to open with a super serious statement on COVID-19. Instagram? Here’s everybody who…

    leave me alone to die

    Well it’s been a week. When I posted last week I wasn’t all that concerned about our disney trip getting canceled. I figured things would have blown over by then. I was a little more concerned about our con 2 weeks before disney but only like 20% worried. Now, I’m pretty sure both are going to get canceled and I’m…

    can i do something real quick

    What a week. I don’t have a lot in the way of photos today, but I did get a decent amount of sewing done this weekend, which I’ll post at the end. Last week was mostly a fat lot of nothing. What the heck did I do all last week? I can’t even remember. I know Thursday night I cleaned…

    sail away

    It’s Monday again. And once again I really don’t have much in the realm of sewing to show you guys this week. I did do a little. Excited about my new fabric, I decided to start messing around with Liberty Dies Padme. Decided that my smallest hoopskirt was closest to the right shape. It’s not 100% but it’ll work as…
