Year end wrap up

By on January 1, 2020

Gonna be perfectly honest. Not much got done in the last few months. Just treading water over here, which is why I didn’t get this post up from September onward. Here is my review of my goals for the last few months and year end, and just basically a “what’s up!” post. Work is getting […]

Reflecting on 2018

By on January 1, 2019

Well, it was a year. The year started out with Meniscus knee surgery for my daughter and a shoulder surgery for my grandma.  This was followed up by new floors (finally), which led to a leak in our furnace and valves needing to be replaced due to jack-hammering of tile above it.  That same week […]

Focus – Week 17

By on May 2, 2018

It seems crazy that we are to May! My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – It was a nice night (though a bit chilly once the sun went down) to enjoy some softball.  The girls won two games and tied the third. Sewing – I should pretty much just say bye-bye to the 52 week […]

Focus – Week 1

By on January 8, 2018

I am going to add yet another weekly post (OOTD being at the beginning, so not sure how weekly it will end up being).  Several years back when I was largely into photography there used to be weekly and annual prompts people would follow to give themselves a creative impetus to go out and take […]

2018 Plans

By on December 29, 2017

Was it just me, or did 2017 just fly by like a bat out of hell? Our 2017 started out with our son puking all over the place, and it is ending with my Grandma Jo breaking her other arm and my girl needing knee surgery for a meniscus tear.  Throw in several funerals, and […]

July wrap up and August plans – a bit delayed

By on August 17, 2017

Delayed as the summer is slipping away!  Might be because we are pretty busy over here, too.  The first week in August the kids spent with family, so hubster and I spent our evenings eating out and drinking. I’m sure I gained 5 lbs that week. July was actually more productive that I thought it […]

July…time to get some work done!

By on July 5, 2017

I knew June was going to be hard to get into the sewing room, and I was correct.  When I did have day or a night that I could work, I was just too tired.  The only things I got done were ones with deadlines! My list for July is going to be trying to […]

June…the month of no time to sew

By on June 6, 2017

Of course, that does not preclude me from volunteering to sew up samples.  I currently have several strike-offs sitting on my sewing table that need to be sewn up.  One is finished, but I do not have an available model.  She has softball just about every night this week, so tomorrow I will have to […]

May plans…so many plans, so many games to keep me away from them

By on May 1, 2017

Ah yes, we have finally entered upon full on baseball and softball season.  It is 5-7 nights a week of either practice or games.  If it is practice, I can usually get something done, since we carpool with another family for baseball (hubby is the softball coach, so he is on for that!). During April […]

Let the cosplay costuming commence!

By on March 8, 2016

Well, it’s that time of year.  That time, when I pull my hair out and try to figure out how the heck I am going to finish these costumes in time! The kids are going to be Geralt and Ciri from The Witcher 3. So, to start I am going to detail what I have […]
