this is halloween

Whoo! It's been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to start doing my makeup and for the second time could ...

this house has people in it

Welcome to Groundhogs Day where it's Monday in 2020 again and nothing has changed. I actually do have quite a bit of content to share today though. Let's start with random stuff from the past week. First up, we got our ruggable! I really love it! It's going in our bedroom at the foot of our bed, and this week we're going to go pick out paint to repaint the bedroom ...

ayyy yo

Sorry for no post last week. I really didn't have anything to post so I decided to wait. Aaaand... as of today I still don't have much of anything to post. I've spent the last 10 DAYS taking photos but have nothing to show for it. (Yet) I did not expect my little dragoncon weekend project to take 10 days. I thought I'd be able to do it all in the 4 days ...

constant state of irritation

that's me lately. no chill. just constantly, constantly irritated at EVERYTHING. Except cookies. And potatoes. Those are the only good things in life. I really don't have much to post this week. I DID get my domain name moved Friday. At least, I thought it was over and done with but the new company this morning said my old one hadn't transferred it yet. I hope it happens in the ...

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 and the weekend and all that. First up, new pins! ...

its a bittersweet symphony

I don't have a ton to post about this week! Didn't do much last week other than go to work. Saw Endgame again Wednesday afternoon. I had a migraine Tues-Thurs so it was a struggle to make myself go sew or do anything. I did get the yoke for Jedi Leia version 2 assembled. Here's the outer grey piece and the lining/batting piece laid out. I actually got pretty close ...

so many puppy pictures

I hope everybody had a nice thanksgiving! Let's start off with my overdue Amidala photos. First, a few from the con. Fancy couch (I want one like this) I probably posted this one last week but oh well. And at Overton: "I want to take a picture in that chair" And now on with the show. Monday I finished up Ursula! Took it up to the school and thankfully it ...

so magical

I don't have a ton to post today. Despite Saturday being a con day. Last week was play practices, me feeling crappy, going to see Fantastic Beasts 2. This BP medicine they put me on is killing me, just a constant nagging exhaustion and headache all the time. Fantastic Beasts 2 was fun. Not my favourite but it was fun and I liked the costumes. Saw one I want to make, I ...

dragoncon blues

HI! I'm home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let's backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless! Somehow! Well, except for my GPS trying to take us to ...

Dragoncon Eve

Happy Dragoncon Eve! It's happy because I FINISHED EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT. Well like 99.9% but still, everything major is DONE and if the stuff I plan on doing tonight doesn't get done, it's not a big deal. So my to-do list is: Run one errand after work Do laundry Trim that lacefront wig that's arriving today (the base for the Amidala wig I'm going to use as my hairline) Try darkening ...
