No, I didn’t force feed models cake. Athough…not a bad idea…
It’s been one long weekend. I did a lot of sewing and went to see Mom. I know. That totally didn’t sound busy at all, but it was emotionally draining. I suspect I’ll get into that before the end of the week, but let’s start [...]

Here’s the 2-weeks-o’-torture dress. Keep in mind that Tina was bunching up her shoulders to keep the sleeves from falling down (yup, she a shorty).

Unfortunately, I tried it using flannel and it was CRAPTASTIC! So in an actual effort to be more thoughtful for next Christmas (and because i’m poor), I’ve designed our [...]

I don’t know how your day started, but mine started out with shaving Pascal’s butt. Yeah, you’re not that sleep deprived. I really did shave my dog’s butt this morning. “Why would a seemingly intelligent person do that?” you say? Because my poor lil Pascal had a traumatic experience at his first vet visit. [...]
