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…

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…

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…

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…

Another year, another year in review! 2018 was a crazy year of packing and moving. Trying to make stuff in between packing, in between moving, while living with family with 90% of my stuff in storage, has been hectic to say the least! So to start off with, here are the projects I said I wanted to do in 2018……

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…

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…

poor unfortunate souls
So this week was a lot of stuff to do with plays. Play practice, painting play backdrops, making play costume… Halloween itself was kinda lame. As usual. It rained allll day.

the final frontier
We’re past the halfway point in the first season in our Star Trek TNG watch/rewatch! (rewatch for me – watch for Chase) I’m enjoying it sooo much. And Chase is too which is making me really happy!! So anyway. I think this week I’ll start with sewing. So last week I left off not being able to decide between the…

in which I have a birthday and suddenly have a new costume to make
Thursday was my birthday! And it was a rather important birthday in relation to my blog — this is the 20th birthday I’ve blogged about here. And funnily enough, I celebrated this birthday the exact same way I celebrated it in 1998 – we went to Molly’s with my family and we sat in the exact same place and they…

scraps
I didn’t post yesterday because I didn’t really have much of anything to post about. So I gathered up some various scraps of photos and things to cobble together a post for today. Chase was out of town this weekend so I mostly just cleaned up the living space, organized some stuff. Played some video games. Went to Joann Saturday…

i got the black lung, pop
No it’s not con crud. I’ve never really gotten con crud except that one time I came back from WSMI in Columbus sick in 2006. But the weather is changing and I’m still worn out from dragoncon so I feel like death warmed over. I slept a lot this weekend. Vague aches and pains in the back of my head/neck.…

the beadings will continue until dragoncon
So let’s see, what have I done since last weekend? Oh that’s right, I sat on the couch and beaded every single day. Ok so first. I was telling Kristie that I didn’t like the bugle beads and was going to take them off that first test piece and redo them. She looked at my reference and was like, “uh…
