Hand Crafts, baking, Swiftie raising a Swiftie.
I’ve been playing too much Mario Cart, because when presented with this my brain said “RAMP IT! Get the speed boost”

Christmas Stitching underway:

I found this printed panel kit at my local quilt shop and thought it was just perfect for my 2 year old niece.

It was just cut, sew, and stuff!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I think when Danny Elfman was writing the lyrics for The Nightmare Before Christmas, he must have been around at least one pre-schooler.

Little Bit’s favorite phrase right now is “What’s this?”

Hey!
Calling all Wonder Women!
We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.
50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

This is the kind of thing that I mean when I ask for systemic change in industries!

There are return bins around the stadium. You are also allowed to bring in your own empty reusable cups and water bottle and it is free to fill them up!

Little Bit has been playing with my old Samantha doll recently, so I thought it would be fun to make her some clothes for Christmas.

I went to Hobby Lobby since they are the only place left that sells patterns.

Made a list of 5 patterns.

Went to the drawers and found 0 patterns from the list. 😖

This may seem like a silly question, but I’m honestly not sure the answer.

Is there an organized effort to pressure congress to re-open the government? Should I be calling my house representative or my senators? I know all of mine are republicans, I just want to know who I should be harassing.

Watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” with Little Bit this morning. She is heavily into her rock collecting era so unlike Charlie Brown, she would probably like rocks just as much as candy from tick or treating.

The local Ren Fair is happening soon, so of course I decide that I need to make Little Bit, and all of her friends, hobbit cloaks!

I traced one of her hoodies to get the size/shoulder right, and picked fleece in all of their favorite colors!

A recent observation about Dropout 🧵.

We’ve been subscribed for a few years now, and have really loved watching their creator community grow and become more inclusive.

In the last 12-18 months several of their female cast and writers have announced pregnancies or births, and this is fabulous.

I heard the end of the year called the “Blur” months by other parent friends, and in September I was counting and we had around 4 Saturdays that didn’t already have something scheduled on until January, only one in October.

We just got a text invitation to a birthday party on the October date. 😖😴

A friend has been trying to figure out how to make a Cakey costume for a few weeks now.

Her daughter has already vetoed the dress options as “not Cakey enough”

I found the perfect base this morning at Sam’s!

Yesterday I made a quick trip home to attend my Aunt’s funeral.

New life goal, live in such a way that my nieces and nephews want to come to my memorial service out of love, not because they are afraid of me haunting them.

After boarding my first flight this morning the Cabin Attendant remarked to the Gate Agent, “That was a great boarding”

It’s good to know we got an A on our group project this morning. And it’s totally normal to want to get an A at boarding an airplane right?

When the flight is at 6:00 AM but you forgot to take in the straps on the dress!

One Clarabelle Cow headband!

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to fabric paint other back of the ears black, or cover them with fabric. Because the costume industry does not understand that not all cows, not even most cows are white and black spotted.

I hear this at least once a month as a bidder for a small manufacturing company:

“I want to give this job to you because your company always does a great job and meets deadlines, but this other company will do it cheaper, is there any wiggle room in the bid?”

The response I want to send:

Working from home means I will have no idea if the rapture happens.

I know that my team in office is still answering. And the daycare is still posting updates. But like 🤷‍♀️.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

We are Halloween season READY!

Minnie Mouse dress finished, I used pattern M4948 for the basic pattern. I had to draft the collar, and did a circle skirt instead of the gathered one. I also added the white belt and fully lined the dress so I could add some crinoline to poof out the skirt.

When you are asked to bring treats for a 4 year olds “Pokemon/Fairy” birthday party.

Oreo Pokeballs!

The best part of Little Bit loving circle skirts? There is always room to cut pockets out of the same piece of fabric!

WIP Minnie Mouse (from Bow Toons) for Halloween.
