Tickety-Boo Trunk

There is so much potential for so much cute!

My capelet still needs a clasp, it's too big, but it's still cute. My partner saw it and said "it looks like a PanAm Wizard" and now I feel obligated to do a mid century witch costume including a broom.

My baby sister joined me for class last night! (This is an old photo). We did the same floor combo this week that we did last week AND I REMEMBERED IT!! It might sound silly, but with my brain fog, that is such a HUGE victory. I love this weekly little treat. I have missed dance SO much 😭💕

Okay, so I semi rescind my "not shopping at Target" after reading an article (sadly lost due to a feed refresh) about how it is more important to shop the brands that will be affected by DEI cuts than to stop shopping Target all together. Gonna look for these brands next time I am in Target.

I just banged out a cape in less than 24 hours. I don't plan on doing much other than checking to see if some of my other communities have found other homes, and in a few months, I plan to delete them all together 🙃

@thesamantharei.bsky.social has been a sewing inspiration since before I ever even considered sewing a single stitch! Her creativity is infinite 😍

This is my new favorite one. It'll cost more than the others, but it was worth it to make it look this good.

My supervisor is telling me to take a snack break. I am working on the #charmpatterns Charm Scout Cape. I made a rookie mistake by 1, not making a mock up thinking "it's just a cape" and 2, forgetting to account for finished garment measurements. I guess this will be a useable mock up?

😂😂😂 so much potential, so little follow through 💔

A sadly horrible dad, but such a very good boss 😭

Star Trek TNG season 7, episode 15 "Lower Decks" will always be one of the more memorable episodes. Worf having recommend Sito for the promotion gives big feels.

One of my new favorite joys is hearing quotes used in sound drops on @greatesttrek.bsky.social. I'm now going to hear "get out of my chair" all day. #starttek is my comfort, so it tends to be my background noise while I stress sew.

We have been making efforts to shop small whenever and wherever we can, but ughhh. The monopoly on EVERYTHING feels impossible to avoid more and more every damn day.

Kowalski's is my current go to for groceries, but it is often cost prohibitive. My partner has started baking bread, and I would garden in a heartbeat if I could handle the heat of our summers, but my health said no 💔 I do what I can where I can, but it never feels like enough, ya know?

Our household is very much unable to purchase in bulk but damn if I wish we could! Our house doesn't have enough storage space 💔 ugh.

Well. With very few other options I feel stuck. Mom and pop shops have all been basically erased. I guess it's time to double my efforts of shopping small even more than I already do and get over my anxiety of driving to do so. I'm never shocked by this kind of news, but always disappointed by it.

Awesome!! Thank you! I'm still trying to get the hang of a new space. This is super helpful!

Someday I'll think ahead and utilize something like The Plotted Pattern or actually take this to be printed on larger paper. This is tedious but worth it!

Sign me UP. This sounds like a fun read! 😍

😭💕 I love that even more! That is such a thoughtful thing to do

My wig had an attitude problem last year, so I'm still debating if I want to give Tendi one more go next year. I also have a ton of badge ribbons left soooo maybe?? Also looking for my fellow #friendsofdesoto and #starttek friends.

HAVE FUN!!!

Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure will always be superior to the movie. ALWAYS.

Once upon a time I was HUGELY involved in fantasy pins and pin trading. It has been so fun setting up my it's bags for the first time in YEARS. I have some real treasures in my collection ✨ #fantasypins #disneypins

This morning's quick reminder: generative AI is a natural resource-guzzling plagiarism machine that exploits creatives to enrich tech bros.

Do not use it to create art or writing.

Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is.

There is no ethical use for AI.

Let it die.

"only you can decide what breaks you". I think it might be an Aurora? It had a very strong green/gold shimmer in some angles, but I could only get the larger glitter particles to show in photos. You can kind of see it in the bottom corner of the bottle

Ooooh that looks heavenly!

Gotta get a photo of my manicure before I change it tonight ✨

I was about to say I feel like I need art inspired by this quote in your style 😍

I'm also glad February worked out timing wise because I can't imagine masking up in 90⁰ in high humidity in Florida 😶. I am still trying to figure out how to pack because mornings and evenings will be chilly, but the middle of the day could be 70-80's! A far cry from a high of 0⁰ here in MN.
