suddenly something to dress FOR
I was musing on Facebook about what would I do a video on if I wanted to join Cocovid and Dave from Victorian Photography studio suggested we take a trip to Gettysburg and do a video about colors and how they translate in collodion photography. "you'll have to get tintypes of all your dresses" GEE TWIST MY ARM. I actually am excited about this, a ( Read more... ) -
I should work on posting
Lets see highlight of the day has been weeding away at the flower beds and pulling out a clump of poison ivy. I am sometimes glad that nurses learn about taking things off carefully. I stripped off gloves, all clothing and shoes. I washed very well with soap and water and then added a layer of hydrocortisone for my psychosomatic itching. I've had ( Read more... ) -
I'm celebrating tiny victories
I have always been someone who struggled with motivation. but if I'm honest with myself the downturn started on a certain night in November 2016...it did get a bit better when I started my current job and Rob was working so money wasn't as tight but I still had this deep sadness that such a large part of my country just didn't have my world view.

it's possible Rob and I are starting to crack
otherwise things are keeping on here. I've neglected housework, and sewing and pretty much all the productivity. I apparently will not meet the apocalypse with a can-do attitude.
I'm supposed to be sewing for our PEI trip but If I'm honest with myself there's no way I can afford to go with Rob unemployed most of the year (even if they managed to go ( Read more... ) -

I've stopped being at my second job due to the fact no one is going to the ( Read more... ) -
ruh ro
I've done almost nothing on this spencer. I made a mock up and I made a new sleeve pattern as the body is fine with just 1" added for length so why bother. but this wool was $30 a yard and I'm scared to cut it. also it's a heavy weight and I'm worried about sewing it without giant bulky seams...basically I've laid the pattern pieces on it and walkd ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm hanging in Rob's office while he finishes my second "travel by map" bit for my Williamsburg vlog and then that sucker is done and I can post it! WHEEE that was my biggest goal for today. Second goal is to get a mock up made for my black spencer for Emma. But that requires taping the pattern together and Rob likes if I keep him company when he's ( Read more... ) -
