I will choose a path that's clear

Fabric.

I have too much.
I’m never going to wear a cotton shirt of any kind. Ever. Its so binding. No give. So uncomfortable. And tits & buttons don’t work.
Plus patterns look SO BAD!

Sigh.

So why do I keep buying cool fabric that I have no use for???? Dammit!

I did get to my flannel today

So people kept saying, "I wish there was a TOG munch." Fine, says I. I said, "We should have a TOG munch." and there were crickets. So I said, "I'll start this up but I can't possibly go to all of them every single time so I'll set up the 1st one and someone with experience can take over." And now I'm being congratulated for doing the long-awaited TOG munch.

Yeah, so I'm out here doing the The Older Generation kink munch this week if anyone wants to come take it over because it looks like I'm doing a damn munch by myself forever LOL

Wednesday is the only day I don't tie or teach so yikes!

Yard work! Spring clean up
5 bags of weeds. Lots of pruning.

Still more to do, of course.

So many boxes under the mulch. Amazon packages galore!

The 2nd best thing about ordering gluten free kalamata olives, bacon, & sliced tomatoes pizza every Friday are the boxes to mulch over in the garden! 😂🤣😂🤣

Today, I actually looked at the garden and saw why the hell I put so much work into that patch of earth. The basil is coming back. I planted cosmos & marigold seeds. I moved some rocks around and planted young ornamental pineapples. It’s all looking so pretty. I should take pics tomorrow.

You knew it had to happen eventually.

I felt bad for upcoming baby riggers who couldn't tie a single column tie. 1 in particular, she has problems seeing the knot but once she gets it, she gets it.

So I've been teaching rope for a few weeks. We all get together, have snacks, I bring in all my rope bunnies and I've taught them the basics and now beyond. When they go to rope classes now, they can keep up. They can learn the new things because they know the basics. Ok, well I said that but for the January class, I showed them my rope notebook. I showed them my phone notes with pics. They all came back with illegible notes and can't tie the basic arms in front harness.

Oy vey.

Next class is on the 19th.

Funny thing about rope dojo, I was minding my own business on Instagram and my teacher asked if I was going to come to class. I said, "But teacher, I know the basics." He said everyone needs to work on perfecting the basics.

Ok. Is he looking at my online pics and saying, "That is shitty rope and she's going to kill someone?"

I think it's because he wants to give me opportunities to learn and be better.

So the next time I was at the dungeon, I was sitting next to Stefan. He started when I did and now he's off taking fancy pics on Instagram, tying people for money too (photoshoots). I said, "Stefan, did Lunatic ask you to come to class?"
"He doesn't talk to me at all."
"Huh. Well he told me to come back to class because everyone needs to work on the basics."

And we looked at each other.
And we looked a little chagrined. And we simultaneously decided we should start going back to class for the fundamentals. I told all this to Lunatic and he guffawed! LOLZ

So I tie twice a week for funsies, teach once a week, and go to at least 1 class a month. Oh, and I usually tie at events or dungeon nights for shits and giggles. I do feel a lot more confident. Not so confident that I'm going to hurt someone but I don't have to make a list of things I can do and study it before I go to the dungeon.

I'd like to take more pics though. Maybe more artsy pics. Close-ups with boka. We'll see. I'm usually busy keeping them alive or giving an experience to taking the time to do art is difficult.

Everyone ready for Valentine's? I've got 2 Ghost Valentine-themed shirts and I did my Valentine shopping already. It was a win/loose situation that I'm both giddy and embarrassed about.

In my favor:
I went jeans hunting in...December? January? I ended up buying 2 jeans I like but there was the one that got away. It was from Dillards, "Free People," brand so it's, ya know, me. Loose things and Boho kinda things. Anyway, I tried on a pair of jeans from them, flares/bell-bottoms and I loved the color (faded) and I loved the bell-bottoms. The top fit a little odd. Just wasn't 100% but I could overlook it. I couldn't overlook the price of $98. I'm cheap and at that price, I want perfection.

So when I went shopping, I happened to glance over and saw 1 pair of faded bell-bottom jeans. 1. Just 1. Oh, and these had a pattern. Very cute! 1 pair and IN MY SIZE!!!! I tried them on and the top was different! They felt perfect! Soft but like a second skin that moves with me, doesn't bind anywhere. Oh, and I SALE! down to $34!!! Yeah, I grabbed those!

And then I saw 2 shirts in Valenetine's colors, all floaty and fey and gorgeous. I tried them on and they are dreamy! So dreamy! I never find even 1 item of clothing to buy but 3 is unheard of! What a day! I've never hit it out of the park like that! I always settle on a good day.

The Bad Part:
I go to pay for them and...$310.
Yeah, the damn dream shirts are $128 EACH!
Oh believe me, I spent like 20 minutes dithering. Obviously, I have to put one back. But which one? Dammit!

In the end, I know I can go literally years unable to find a thing to buy so, yeah, I bought both. I paid a shameful amount of money for mere shirts. Ugh.

How I love them!

My electric epilator is on its last legs so I experimented & bought a coil.

R.E.M Spring Facial Hair Remover... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FXUTUM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Holy shit! Gets rid of ALL the hair. Better than wax. Better than Nair. Better than powered epilators. Amazeballs!

I got more rope for xmas!

Do we need fabric?

Since fabric.com shut down, where do you get your fabrics from?

reddit.com

So, finished!

The buttons aren’t actually crooked. I mean, perhaps they’re not exactly exact but that image is a perspective thing.

And my god! Ain’t none of my vests big enough to wear a thick shirt under like this! Neato!

So I finally, after 35 years, got a dress form!!

And I’m trying to make a pattern fit.
Hips & ass, gotta add more fabric. Again.

Seriously, I added 6 sizes, still not enough. And you’re like, “Oh! You’re a fat bitch is all.”

But no!

My Halloween vest fits exactly like a glove. Can’t button it on the dressform tho.
🤔

So, working the problem.

Anyway.
Went to the fabric store. Well hell, people stopped sewing & it SHOWS! No one’s watching the people in charge of patterns, are they? My god, the ridiculousness going on with Butterrick, Simplicity, Burda, & McCalls! I mean…come on, go touch grass. Ain’t no one can wear that or will wear it.

I almost bought a shirt pattern but realized it has a zipper up the back 🙄

And thought about some pants but they were over the top.

So got fabric for the vest. It was a struggle, the fabric is so poor quality & rough. Then I spent a full 30 minutes finding a button. So few options. I settled for a plain blue button.

Ugh. Such an ordeal!
