Below you’ll find my blog posts about my sewing rooms over the years, costume storage, and other related items.

the deep clean
The deep clean of the sewing room is almost done! I finally got to vacuum which I’d really been looking forward to it, and I brought the carpet cleaner up to try to get out some stains. Worked great on some and not on others. I’d like to get one of those bigger cleaners and do the whole room one…

im married to the hustle
I was starting to wonder if I’d be able to post today with the AWS outage – couldn’t upload anything to my photo server. But seems to be working now so let’s get on with it. Been mostly focusing on finishing my sewing room clean-up. Is it done? No because there is SO MUCH to do. I can’t remember if…

a blue rose case
Since I posted on Wednesday I really only have the weekend to talk about here. Friday Ash and Gabe picked me up after work so we could meet Chase downtown (easier for him to go there straight from work) to go to the Monster Market opening night! I wore Diane, because where the hell else am I ever going to…

could it be those irrepressible thoughts of death?
It’s not just any monday it’s the monday before my ~~**BIRTHDAY**~~ I kinda forgot about it honestly because it’s just not been on my brain. I’ve been kinda stressed out. Sewing room clean up continues. Finished putting the closet back together. Got a new bin to fit the homeless costumes in and reorganized everything that was hanging up. Now we’re…

it’s virgo season
Virgo Season is in FULL EFFECT. And i’ve decided i’m just gonna stay in virgo season for the rest of my life. It’s a state of mind. Since i posted so late last week I don’t have much to post about this week. This is one of the few things i bought at Dcon. I was thinking it was the…

the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
Not much in the way of wedding dress Leia progress this week – the only thing I did was sew the 2 back panels together and gather the upper edge. Yes that’s all I did in a week. Why? Because I decided to complete clean out and clean up my sewing room instead. Avoidant behaviour. Last week I posted a…

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’m the queen of disaster
BLECH. Chase had a head cold all last week, he’s finally mostly over it… but now I have it. Woke up Sunday morning feeling crummy and gross, and still do. I thought I had a bunch to post today but I really don’t. I got the Leia dress mostly finished last Monday: All that’s left is hemming the skirt, finishing…

fre sh vac a do
So this weekend I realized just HOW MUCH there is left to do on our house to at least get it to a state of “finished”! OMG. 2 weeks from yesterday we’ll be having a bridal shower at our house (YAY) and then a week and a half after that Chase’s brother Scott is coming down to visit for a…

i need a bat box
We did some yardwork yesterday morning and I got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos. I’ve been wanting to get a Bat Box for YEARS and now that we’re in this new house where we have to do a bit more yard upkeep, I gotta have it! I need some bats to move in and eat all these mosquitos. I was…

I wonder if anybody would notice…
…if I just crawled under my desk and took a nap? What is it like not feel tired? I honestly wonder. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t tired. OK! So anyway. I have pics from the Belle shoot and also the symphony from last weekend to finally post, but first let me get through last week’s sewing updates…

it’s a very whiny post
Ok this post is going to be whiny! Only because sewing was a pain in the butt this past week and then I had a DISASTER in my sewing room. But as usual let’s start at the beginning. Last Monday we got Kevin’s bed assembled! I’m hoping to paint it (the room not the bed) sooner rather than later. And…

break out! before you get bum rushed
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…

Vegas & Beyond
I’m BACK!!! And so glad to be back. Here’s a really long rambly post about my Vegas trip, weekend stuff… a whole lot of stuff NOT about costumes. Well, a little bit about costumes when you get to Sunday. First off look at my super happy Pumpkin man! And mom found these while cleaning out something and gave them to…

sickie
I’ve been sick the past couple of days but didn’t realize it til yesterday. Monday evening I started feeling kinda icky but I thought it was just being tired from the weekend combined with an oncoming migraine because of the weather shift. Tuesday I had a migraine that wouldn’t come under control but it wasn’t terrible. Yesterday I woke up…

Closet Fix
In going back through my recent posts last week to add tags, I realized I use “ugh monday” or “it’s monday again” or something similar as my post title A LOT so I decided I will not ever mention monday in my post titles again. Anyway, I we skipped out on Delta Fan Fest Saturday. I really wanted to go…

Monday again
Happy Monday 😛 It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I’ve been planning to make for our next Disney trip – just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a…

Halloween & sewing room
Chase gave me the pics he took on Saturday when I was in Anne! Showing my grandma pics on my phone… Kevin chilling out (his wig was making a backwards escape off his head…) The three of us I really need to learn that it doesn’t matter how good and balanced it feels on my head in the 10 seconds…
