Finally, Witcher Pajamas

I'm sure most of you remember a few months ago when I got a little tipsy and decided I needed some Witcher fabric that turned out to be entirely appropriate for the massive dumpster fire 2020 has turned into. Well, I've finally turned it into some pajamas you might want to toss a coin to. 

Yes Geralt, we all feel the same way about 2020.

They're super comfy and my only regret is that I didn't get enough of the coordinating fabric to make some pants instead of the shorts I ended up with. I have a feeling that once the colder weather hits I might be wearing the shirt with warmer bottoms. I like the shirt so much that if it weren't for the F bomb I'd probably wear it as a regular shirt. 

I've also been working on some things for the kiddos. I cut out some cute overalls for my son the other day, now I've just got to find some time to put them together.

SPACE CORGIS!

I'm also working on a Halloween dress for my daughter that, being the spider and fruit bat loving toddler that she is, I'm sure she'll wear even after Halloween is over. I don't have pictures of that fabric right now, but hopefully I'll have it far enough along by next week to post about it. 

Financially I'm doing okay. I was able to save enough money to get the cutting table I've been wanting for my craft room. It delivered today and once I get it set up I'm sure my husband will be happy that I'll no longer have to use the island in the kitchen to cut all my fabric on. I'm hoping to get it all set up this weekend and then I'll just have to move my shelves over from my daughter's room (which used to be my craft room before I moved to the smaller spare bedroom) and hang up my pictures and then my room should be finished, aside from possibly getting more cupboards or something for storage at some point. I'm not in a big rush for those though.

Ongoing Projects

And I'm back! This week I'm going to talk about how I plan to tackle my hobby spending. As I mentioned in my previous post I have a lot of unfinished projects and projects that I have supplies for that I would like to work on. I also have a lot of sewing and knitting patterns I've bought and never used that I'd like to get some use out of. I also have a MASSIVE stash of yarn and fabrics that I've been hoarding over the years. BEHOLD! My craft room closet in all it's, er, glory? Please not that that's not even all of it. I have yarn stashed all around the house as well as fabric that I've washed but haven't boarded and stored in the closet yet. In order to attempt to organize this madness I've created a couple of different means of tracking my projects. For my sewing I have made myself a spreadsheet with tabs for each pattern maker that I've purchased patterns from. I've made a row for each pattern with columns for a picture of the

Why Are Fabric Companies Trying Me Right Now?

Image
Hi all! Here we are on financial update Wednesday. I know I missed declutter Friday and Makeup Monday but I've been recouperating from a minor procedure I had on Friday and didn't feel up to blogging. Nothing serious, and I'm fine, just needed some rest. Of course one of the things that I tend to do when I'm not feeling well is to spend way too much time looking at things on my phone I have no business looking at which led me to notice that a bunch of fabric companies have really cool fabric out right now that I'd love to buy but can't. While it's been tempting I managed to not get anything so I'm pretty proud of myself. Some of the preorders are going to be open for a while yet so I have to keep not buying them until the end of the month. I'm dodging fabrics with images ranging from The Witcher to Rainbow Brite here so it's not going to be easy. Helping me along the way is the fact that Awesome Con just announced that the cast from Back to the

Low Buy Update

Image
 The first week of my no buy was up on Sunday. I meant to post that night but for some reason I also decided I wanted to be Martha Stewart so I made some home made blueberry jam and then made some muffins with it.  Delicious, yet time consuming.   So by the time I finished with all that I didn't have time to write a blog. So I've decided to save all but $30 from every paycheck. I can do whatever I want with that $30 per paycheck except spend it on makeup or fabric, unless it's a small piece of coordinating fabric I need to finish a project. I'll be buying some solid colored flannel to use as a contrasting fabric for a nightgown I'm going to be making my daughter with next week's pay.  Last week I went to visit my grandmother. I meant to eat lunch before I left but the rolls I bought two days before were already growing mold even though they didn't expire until a week later (thanks Food Lion) so I ended up having to grab something while I was out. I met a fri
