HSV Expo Wrap-Up and What-nots
Before I jump into the weekend photos, I’ll cover the few things from the week before… I’m going to have to get more fabric to finish the mock-up for Padme. I do think I finally figured out the hood pieces — I transferred the hood and cape mockup pieces to paper. I still need to figure out fitted sleeves, the…

it’s a world of tears
Well hi I’m back from Disney World. The trip was great, but also weird. It felt rushed. How does a week+ trip feel rushed? I’ve no idea. Luna knew something was up and was saaaaad Wednesday night I went and picked up Kevin. I got to do the surprise I’ve been planning for months. “Hey Kevin are you ready to…

2021 Wrap-Up

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…

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…

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…

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…

i need a fix
Hey look I’m posting twice in one week. Because I’ve got disney on the brain and need to dump it all out in a post. So I’m feeling pretty good about our re-re-re-scheduled Disney trip (was May 2020, then Nov 2020, now April 2021) is actually going to happen this time. While I know there’s still going to be restrictions…

help me wanda
First off I loved WandaVision. I grew up watching classic tv shows like the Dick Van Dyke show, Bewitched, etc and I loved having that aesthetic mixed in with Marvel. I can’t wait to see how it all unravels. Also, looking forward to WandaVision is the only thing that has held me together for the last few months. I’m glad…

what fresh hell is this
I wrote this subject like an hour and haven’t had the brain cells to actually write the post. And now I wrote that sentence a half hour ago. LOL. I am struggling today. I’ve had a migraine since Saturday afternoon and I’ve just felt kinda blah all over. Tired, mentally and physically. I don’t feel like doing Monday. I don’t…

2020 wrap-up
I always looking forward to doing my end of the year costume wrap-ups. This year is sad. I really didn’t think a year could get worse than 2019 and that 2020 would be a great year. Instead we got a dumpster fire. I’m angry, sad, depressed. All I want is to get eat pizza in a restaurant. Anyway. I did…

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…
