disneybound leia
Below you’ll find my blog posts about my disneybound Princess Leia-inspired outfit. I made this for our May 2016 trip and have worn it several more time since.

crash out
Yesterday was the day of reckoning for the new disneybound Leia dress. But first, let’s rewind and talk about the rest of the week. First shipment of fabric came in for picnic Padme. I definitely did not get enough but at least I got a coupon I can use to buy some more. Finished painting the buttons and got them…

ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Well as I left off last week, all I needed to do on my new disneybound Leia was to sew the buttons on. And then Saturday morning around 4am I crashed out. Mostly over the belt. I just felt like it was too tall on me and the proportions just were not right. So Saturday morning I dug around on…

i am a material girl
February is flying by. I can’t believe it’s halfway over. Which is nice because normally this time of the year drags. Finished the Lake Tahoe puzzle. This one was fun. I got a new one, same kind as the Jane Austen one – Oscar Wilde this time. It’s a little harder because there’s more areas that look the same. And…

it never rains in california
Another Monday at work and work continues to be a source of anxiety – I had a dream one night last week where my whole family had gone to Paris and as we were leaving, like getting into the security line at the airport, I remembered we’d brought Luna with us and we’d forgotten her at the hotel. So we…

its been 84 years…
We’re on day 4,528 of being iced in. It’s all solid ice. It’s snow. No kids have been out making snowmen or having snowball fights in this – if you threw a chunk of this at somebody’s head, you’d kill them, it’s like throwing a brick. Hasn’t really stopped us from getting out and about as needed though, Chase’s car…

a sad sack
Well obviously, if you’re a regular to my site, the biggest news is that I’ve set up a new wordpress theme! It was a hard fought battle but overall I’m pretty happy with it. Lots of changes to get used to. Originally, I had bought a different theme. $60. And I ended up hating it. I was so frustrated –…

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
omg hi I haven’t posted this week. I was trying to wait til I had all the new photoshoot pics uploaded, and now that I’ve got them I’m like… augh I haven’t done my wrap-up post for this year! So I’m doing this first instead of a regular post and I’ll do a post about Christmas next. So at 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…

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…

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…

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…

hi hello hi
I gotta level with you I am not doing well right now. Last night going to bed, having nothing but another week of work to look forward to, and another week after that, and another week after that… just an endless desert of work…. Anyway you’re not here for crying. House is kind of a mess. I’ve turned the dining…

i wish you would find your chill
Speaking to myself. I normally don’t sew much in Dec-Feb. I’ve made 2 full costumes (accessories not withstanding), and half of a disneybound already. I’m glad I’m getting ahead but also… like, calm down a little bit and stop feeling anxious if I don’t have anything to sew. Like it’s ok. I don’t have a con til March, one in…

Snap back to reality
UGH We’re home. Don’t really want to be LOL Because Disney World was fantastic as always. Even though by day 7 we were EXHAUSTED and ready to be home, I still would rather be there of course LMAO. SO! Let’s start at the beginning. Chase and I both took half days off work Friday. I got home and got the…

8 miles outta memphis and I got no spare
I have more photoshoot pictures!! Unfortunately some of them did not turn out. TFA Leia’s pics not turning out is my fault – because of the wrinkles I didn’t think to iron out. So we are going to reshoot that one. Then, the lights on medieval Leia were weird and made the whole thing look super weird, so while we’re…

Coolers were welcome so we packed up sandwiches and soup and camp chairs and headed down there. I thought it might be chilly at night by…
