    Well it took me longer than I thought to get the rest of these cropped and uploaded but here they are at last. Started the shoot with Dapper Leia because I wanted my “real hair” costumes to go first. I forgot to do any pics with my sunglasses but not too upset about it because I really didn’t like the…

    no resolutions

    I generally don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to “pet more dogs” and that’s what I’m going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year’s resolution. I didn’t post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend.…

    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…

    im tired of my winter clothes

    We get one nice day and then a storm blows in and makes it cold again. Had to wear a sweater to Easter. Can’t remember the last time I had to wear something warm on Easter. Like the title says, I’m really tired of my winter clothes at this point and I’m ready to move on to shorts for a…

    I don’t know what we’re yelling about

    It’s another Monday where I feel like I have nothing to show for the past week. On Saturday I was thinking about what I was going to post today — like what have I done all week??

    take a look, it’s in a book

    Boy it has been a busy week, I actually have a lot to talk about for once. I spent most of last week finishing my dapper Leia shawl. Rebel symbols about 50-7% done? Symbols done, shawl hemmed. The hemming wasn’t as neat as I would’ve liked, but I did it by hand and I’m still babying my right arm. (It…

    where’d all the time go

    How is February almost over? I mean I’m not complaining because it’s one step closer to disney but also I keep getting further and further behind in my projects. I am actually nearly done with Utena. FINALLY. My new shoulder trim came in last weekend so I spent last week sewing the tassels together to make big tassels. Finished that…

    Or rather another week of me being too tired to do anything. Tuesday we went and traded in our old phones for new ones. It took hours, like we were there til the store closed and we didn’t think it would take that long so we had planned to eat dinner afterwards. Anyway I got the blue iphone and I…

    Well hi I don’t have anything exciting to share this week. I’ve basically done nothing since my last post except work on some art and a little sewing this past weekend. No progress to report on Utena, it’s still not done, but Chase sanded all my 3d printed pieces and got started painting them. Can’t really do anything else til…
