A list of summer things

Summer is not yet over, however here are the highlights. I'm not yet ready (will I ever be?) to get all up in my feelings and give full disclosure so I've made a 10-mile list. I love lists. I've even made lists OF lists. I know, I'm bananas but that's besides the point. Most details are locked away in my diary (does anybody keep a physical diary anymore? just me?) and will remain there until the end of forever. I believe that some things should stay private but enough rambling. Here we go guys:

• My 21st birthday was quite possibly the worst night of my life thus far. After causing my mother to burst into tears I was given a "self-harm intervention" involving both of my parents and all of my siblings which lasted about 5 hours. Keep in mind this was the middle of the night. Absolutely nothing was solved. Which is no surprise because I. did. not. want. this. I was humiliated and honestly a little pissed. I'd never cried so hard in my life. I was literally shaking. My eyes remained swollen for three days. THREE!
• The events prior to my actual birthday were great, however. Family portraits, concert with my sister in the city, saw an old friend, and good old fashioned family dinners.
• I've been trying to be a bit more social. I go out maybe once a month, almost always with the same person(s) but it still counts. I always have a good time no matter what we're doing. It feels good to have someone to hang out with and talk to on a regular basis. In the beginning it was difficult to be myself because I'd been so used to seeing the same 5 people on a daily basis and adding new people to the mix was hard. But I'm happy to have new friends. And even happier that I get to spend so much time with them!
• MY SISTER IS PREGNANT! WOOO! BABY #2!
• This summer since putting my work out there on FB and various other places around the internets I've gotten so many requests to make things for people! Adult clothes, baby clothes, curtains/home decor, and miscellany! It feels really amazing to be validated as a seamstress and to have support and recognition for something I'm so passionate about. I couldn't be more thankful for all of the opportunities that have been coming my way. But I will say that I am also completely overwhelmed! One thing I have to learn is how to say NO. Or at least Not Now...
• I feel like my family is functioning at optimal levels. That sounds like we're a computer program or a washing machine or something... but that's the only sentence I can think of to describe it right now. My dad comes over pretty often which brings me so much joy. My siblings and I talk more often which brings me so much joy. My mom and I are getting along which brings me so much joy. I mean, granted they all get on my nerves at times and I know I get on theirs but that comes with the territory right? I love them and they love me. Things are good.
• As I've said in a previous post my self-esteem is getting better. Scale of 1-10 with 10 as the absolute worst I'm at about a 7, which for me is pretty good. That being said I still have a ton to work on. Like, I'm still unhappy with myself but I am making progress. A conscious effort to get better and be happy. That's what's important.
• Since this time last year I've only picked up a blade on two occasions. I mean, I still think about it more often than not. The urges are definitely still there. But I've only acted on those impulses twice. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF

May Happenings

As of late my blog posts have unintentionally been all sewing all the time. Which is fine, but I want to keep it from being impersonal. As I've mentioned a million times before, I'm more of a stay-at-home kind of person. Although I do have my fair share of adventures. (And by adventures I mean actually leaving the house for any reason other than work.) Last month was both weird and very very good. Lots of productivity. Now because of the way I live my life- work, sew, read, sleep, repeat-  I was either too tired or too busy to blog day to day. I thought about doing a huge post on the last day of May talking about everything that happened all month long... but that would be too long and too boring! So instead here's the Cliff Note version. A summary, if you will:

1. Babysat for the neighbors and got paaaaaaid
2. Then I had to pay bills and was brooooooke lol
3. Got a ton of sewing done, lots more to go but still
4. After having the same little cell phone since grade 11, I finally got a new one!
5. Quickly became a social media addict
6. Walking. Lots and lots of walking. About 4-5 miles every other day
7. Also, spent plenty of time in the sun.
8. As a result of #7, I got a few shades darker. The blacker the berry...
9. Got back on track with healthy eating!
10. Was really sad for about a week
11. Hung out with a good friend of mine
12. Got happier, much happier
13. FINALLY got the internet working upstairs
14. Spent quality time with mi familia
15. Spent most of THAT time with my perfect adorable niece
16. Cut my hair - just a trim, really. And boy has it grown since the last time!
17. Made progress on unpacking and decorating
18. Finished two books. Can hardly wait to get started on the next one!!
19. Got an offer for a side job (holla!)

 Cheers to the month of June. We're only 5 days in and I'm already seeing great things!

Scooter Shorts! Simplicity 8698

Thank God for Etsy! I've been going a little crazy over patterns lately. And I finally came across some vintage skirt patterns about a week ago. Naturally I snatched 'em all up! This first one I tried out has mini skirts about 15" long. Skorts, scooters, culottes, whatever you wanna call them. I like the name scooter, so cute!

I made view #2- it's basically a pair of shorts with one pleat on each leg with a front panel. 15" is much too short for me to wear to work so as usual I lengthened the pattern by 3". All it took was 1 yard! This time I'm using a medium weight stretch denim. Now, because the pattern is vintage they tend not to use linings. Facings are the name of the game. So that little section in the top right corner is perfect! All I need is my main fabric and a zipper.

As you can see there is one faux pleat on the back of each leg, one faux pleat on each front leg, and the panel in the center front acts as the center pleats. I've sewn about a third of the way down on the outer-most pleats and an inch higher on the center panel just to give it a nice effect. I don't have buttons picked out yet but I'm still deciding whether or not to go with them. What do you think? Overkill?

Here's the skirt so far right now! I'll hopefully have it finished up by the weekend.

Quarantined & Miserable

I was sick on Easter, well technically I was sick since Saturday. Needless to say that I miss out on so much this past week. A whole week of being sick! My sisters came over for Sunday dinner. I had already made the decision not to attend. I was actually gonna hang out with my dad, maybe have bible study, watch a movie or something. Instead I was quarantined to my room. Literally every time that I get sick it goes from 0 to 60 in no time flat. Saturday it was a sore throat. Just a little scratchy. Then BOOM aches all over, stuffy nose, the works. Kind of bummed because I had an outfit all planned WITH ears and whiskers mind you! More importantly on Friday morning I babysat my neighbors daughter. So I'm hoping that I didn't get her sick in addition to my coworkers. Speaking of his daughter, she's adorable! And so much fun! While we hung out I finally watched Frozen! I am now officially part of the cult ha ha! (wow look at all these exclamation points!)

I took some medicine and on Monday I was feeling okay. Tuesday I misjudged my 'progress' and stupidly went to work (fingers crossed I haven't gotten anybody sick). If anybody asked I'd tell 'em I just had allergies (lies) so they wouldn't send me home. I literally cannot afford to miss work. Of course I came home that night completely drained. Wednesday came and it was like my body was punishing me for overexerting it the day before. That's what I get I suppose... Called in sick yesterday and got some much needed rest today and last night. While we all know being sick is the worst the last day or so of sickness is the worst of the worst. It's like it won't go down without a fight. Thursday was my most miserable day of them all. I could barely walk myself out of my bedroom without feeling like I was gonna pass out. Back aches, dizziness, loss of appetite, chills, coughing, I mean look at me! I sound like the commercials for prescription medicine in the last 8 seconds when they run through all the side effects!

It used to be that I would curl up in bed and watch a million old movies, drink juice and waste time on the interwebz all day when I was sick. This time I stayed mostly in my room like a good little girl. Occasionally I'd try and make myself get up and walk around the house to get the blood going and avoid stiffness. Or I'd walk out onto the front porch to get some fresh clean air after being in my stuffy room for 9+ hours. My parents were so sweet the whole time. Almost to the point of being annoying with the amount of check-in's. There are only certain times when 'babying' me is approved. This was one of them. My sister pretty much kept her distance from me but I don't blame her. She can't really miss work either, plus who the heck wants to get sick?! Every now and then she'd ask how I was doing though, so that still counts.

It rained like crazy today. If I wasn't still coming down from this fever I would have opened my window like I usually do when it rains. But I just settled for opening the blinds. I feel really good today. Like 90%. Calculations indicate that I will be operating at 100% come tomorrow morning. Also, I already agreed to come into work for the afternoon shift. All in good faith. However I will be taking my medicine and cough drops in my bag with me! Not taking any more chances.

Also- the medicine pictured above may 'look' orange but it tastes like battery acid.

Emotional after effects

I feel really dreamy today. Does that make sense? Like I'm in a dream. I'm not 100% here.

I don't feel good. But I don't necessarily feel bad either. Just... neutral.
I don't feel empty. More like open? Vulnerable?

Last Thursday I slipped up. This is just the emotional after-effect.
As I go on I'm probably making less and less sense. But I know what I mean.

Also, sorry for the melodrama in my last post.
But if you've been with me for a while you know I get like that sometimes.

On a lighter note, the sun was shining earlier this morning. The sun coming through my window felt warm.
The next few days the weather is going to be heating up for strange but very good unknown reasons.
Plus I've got a few days off this week! So I've got plenty of time to get my head on straight.

Hope y'all are doin well.
Thanks for the love.

I'm still alive!

Hello! Long time no talk, I know... But as I've mentioned before we moved to a new apartment, again. Which I'm sure 99% of you will agree is no easy feat. The bedrooms, the bathroom, and kitchen are pretty much the only rooms that are functional at this point. Literally everywhere else is piled to the ceiling with bags and boxes of stuff. We're constantly rearranging the things that are out. It's been almost a month and we're nowhere near settled in! But it's not like we've got a deadline or anything so I'm not worried about it. Although I would like to be done in the next month. By the end of April? Fingers crossed!

I don't usually take a hiatus from the internet but we haven't got internet in my place yet so... I mean, I can use my mobile but it's just not the same, you know? Also, no TV. I KNOW! CRAZY! But I've never been really big on television with the exception of a handful of shows. So when I really want to watch something I just hop over to my sisters house and binge on Hulu. Which works out great for me because she works during the day. So I just pop over and get the living room to myself! Plus she has a microwave in her kitchen and I do not. So there's that.

This month I've gotten a lot of reading done, too. I've always been a bit of a book nerd (I get that from my dad) and in high school I could be found with my nose in a book or after school in the library. I used to lose my mind when the librarians would throw out old books and give 'em to students for free! But I'm getting off topic... I've been hanging around booktube (the side of the youtube community where reading fanatics reside) and have been getting all kinds of recommendations from the last year or so. Some of y'all will remember me talking about the books I ordered from Amazon. Well, I've gone a bit bananas and ordered a few more. And by few I mean 7. Ooops! But who cares, I love reading. And so far this month I've read 5 books!! Right now I'm in the middle of Delirium by Lauren Oliver. If you're a book lover too or if you just wanna see what I'm reading/my favorite books you can now find me on Goodreads!


Between sewig, going back and forth to work, organizing and reorganizing, cleaning, walking, and reading YO GIRL IS TIRED! But it's a good tired. A 'getting things done' kinda tired. I've got plenty of things I wanna share from this month so stay tuned!
XOXOXO

Five things

1. I've been channeling all of my negative energy into sewing. So far so good: countless Christmas gifts, 12 dresses and skirts, 2 fleece blankets. I'M ON A ROLL! This has been serving as a really great distraction from my urges as well. It's been cut down pretty significantly! At first I was a little disappointed in myself for buying first-aid supplies. But you know what, it's better to be safe than sorry. I've relapsed enough times to know that I need to be prepared. Especially with the troubling times ahead of me.
2. I've been giving sewing lessons to my neighbor. She's 51 years old, has three kids, a husband, three dogs, loves cooking and is obsessed with The First 48. She found me taking pictures in the common area and I was like oh no I've been spotted! I already had an alibi in an effort to play off the fact that I was taking a million pictures of myself all the time. I was taking a photography class and the assignment was a self portrait, everyday for a month lol. A little ridiculous and unnecessary but it's worked in the past so whatever. This time though there was no need for a back story. She simply approached me and asked where I got my clothes from. That lead to a pretty cool conversation. She told me she was trying to get into sewing herself and it just so happened that she recently bought a sewing machine. We chatted for a bit and later that day I walked over to her house and gave my first sewing lesson! It felt really good to not only make nice with a fellow neighbor but also the fact that I actually taught someone something useful.
3. After more than a year I bought some hair dye. While I was at it I decided it was time for a haircut as well. Please ignore my hot mess of a face, tired eyes and smudged eyeliner, it was a long day...
   
4. I'm thinking of making things to sell again. But this time hardcore. I get asked all the time about my clothes and little accessories that I wear and people are pretty surprised to know that I make them myself. I've got the techniques down. And I've had plenty of practice. Plus I have so much doggone fabric in my stash!! I have tons of ideas and since my nieces have come into the world I've been experimenting with lots of baby-related things. I've got time on my hands and nothing to lose. I've sold things before I don't see why I couldn't do it again. And I could really use the money, so there's that.
5.  We're moving this weekend. All 4 of us are moving downstairs while they redo the floors upstairs. Then we're going right back up. It's gonna be a little bit of a challenge I think to move the majority of our stuff downstairs all by ourselves only to go right back up in two or three weeks. But it's worth it. And it's a heck of a lot better than having to stay in a random motel and live out of suitcases until it's over.

Lately...

I've been quite a busy bee as of late. So far this month I've been: 

1. Reconnected with a couple of old friends
2. Giving sewing lessons to my neighbor
3. Sewing like crazy in my free time
4. Hunting for a second job

I know that's only 4 things, but those four things take A LOT of time and A LOT of energy! But this is good for me. Even though I'm really tired at the end of every day being busy is the best feeling ever! I love having a full schedule, something to wake up for, lists of things to get done, places to be... I love to feel useful. And I love making people happy! Which is exactly what I've been doing all month. Reconnecting makes me and my friends happy (win-win!). Sewing lessons help my neighbor feel great about herself and I get a sense of accomplishment from being a good teacher. Making things in my free time for friends and family (and a few thing for myself ) makes everybody happy! Looking for a second job makes me feel good because I know that I can handle the responsibility. I wanna be able to help out more with taking care of whatever finances at home and also that second paycheck will really help me with saving money. So everybody wins!!

Hello blog, it's been a whole week!

Hai guise!It's been a whole week, did ya miss me?

No? Oh, okay. Well I missed you! I've been a really busy bee this holiday season, as I'm sure most of you are. So I don't have as much time (or will power) to blog as frequently as I'd like this December. But here's a little peek of my days over the last week.

1&2: The living room now has 3 functions. My bedroom, the TV room, and my sewing room.

3: I bought this hat at Walgreens and I've worn it basically everyday since.

4: My nails haven't been this bad in my entire life. But because of work it's so hard to keep 'em pretty :(

5&6: I went to a tree trimming party on Saturday and I found this sweet ornament at Target!

Things I want to mention but don't really wanna talk about

There's so many things on my mind lately. A lot has been going on and we're only half way through October! I've been so busy working almost every day, sewing, de-cluttering, and exercising that I literally spend all of my free time sleeping. Because of this I often use some time on my days off (in between naps of course) and write out a few posts and schedule them throughout the week so y'all don't think I'm dead or something. Today I'm off, but I honestly don't even feel like writing out 15 different posts about all the things that sounded like really good ideas last week as I wrote them down in my notebook. So instead I'm just going to make a list of all the things I really want to mention but just don't have the energy to make separate posts about. Plus some things don't really need a whole post. So I suppose it's my mid-October honorable mentions. Off we go!

I now have three pen pals! I get SO excited when I get a cute letter in the mail and I got my third one on Monday :) I wrote letters to about 6 or 7 people earlier this year and was a pretty heartbroken to never hear from them. I almost gave up writing letters because it made me sad to take the time out to write to people who didn't care to write back. But then some lovely ladies in blogland wrote to me! Nothing huge, but a sweet card introducing themselves and saying hello (which is huge to me). Today I sent out my little cards in reply and I hope it gets to them very very soon!   you know who you are -wink-

As I've said earlier, most if not all of my free time is spent sleeping. Personally I don't mind it, I mean it's not like I have a social life to keep up with and appearances to make other than the usual visits to one of my sisters houses. Two and a half weeks of work down and I'm not fully set into my routine yet. My internal clock wakes me up somewhere between 9 and 10AM everyday but the rest of my body hasn't quite caught up yet.


I'm getting plenty of exercise as of late. Which is fantastic because I hate working out. I hate any and all unnecessary physical activity to be honest. COUCH POTATOES UNITE! I walk about 2 miles almost everyday and I've been keeping track of how many miles I've walked this month and so far I'm at 13! Go me!

Slowly but surely I'm getting through my fall to-do list. In THIS post I shared with you some of the things I needed to get done. I have a thing about deadlines and so there isn't reeeeally a set timeline but as long as I finish everything before winter hits I'll be satisfied. Right now I'm in the middle of making a tutu for my niece and so far so good! Next I'll start on the skirt for my sister. Just as soon as I can get her measurements. Shouldn't take me too long. I've got the pattern/tutorial saved on my computer. The fabric and stuff is all picked out, I just need to double check with her that it's the color she wants. Also, after about two weeks of procrastinating I'm ready to give my nephew back his jacket that I talked about over HERE. woops

After a year and some change, I've made the decision to dye my hair purple. Unfortunately for me, my job prohibits me from dyeing my hair any 'unnatural color.' So I have to wait and wait and wait. But that's okay, because in the meantime I can get my hair to the healthiest possible state I can. Because after going banana-pants researching the best possible way to achieve long lasting purple hair without going to a salon I'm gonna thank myself for all the time spent really taking care of my hair. P.S. Any tips YOU have would be greatly appreciated!


I still hate fall weather. Transitional weather just sucks for so many reasons. Other people in blogland rant and rave about all the lovely festivities going on and the lovely chilly weather and the lovely crunchy leaves and lovely Starbucks drinks and the blah blah blah. Well over here it's still warm enough to wear shorts everyday, which I've been doing. The trees are still green and there are plenty of annoying bugs all over the place. My eczema is flaring up all the time and it's driving me mad. So I kind of hate you if you're in one of those cities/towns that is experiencing the 'ideal' fall season.

I hate birds. That is all.

99% sure that I'm gaining weight. Roll your eyes all you want. But after spending most of my life between 110 and 120lbs it's a pretty big deal! Nobody I know (except my grandmother) has a scale and it's been bugging me. That couch potato stuff is probably catching up with me. My clothes still seem to fit just fine but I swear I feel 10lbs heavier. Hopefully all this walking will make that go away. We'll see. But I don't want you to think I'm doing anything crazy about it! I'm not dieting, working out like a maniac, or developing any kind of body image issues. I just feel... heavier you know?

That's all for now. I'll probably do this again at the end of the month... But don't hold me to that. Right now it's 6 o'clock and time for me to make myself some dinner so until next time, take care! XOXOXO

Bits from last weekend

 Look what I found at Safeway!! Do you remember these shows?! I can see how Mr. Bill would be a good dog toy, but Lambchop??? I didn't buy them, but I kind of want to add them to my stuffed aminal collection. Yes, I said aminal and no that wasn't a typo.

 

Went to my nephew's 20th birthday dinner on Friday night. There was actually a live band on the opposite side of the restaurant. A really bad live band... Food was great though! I've never heard of apple butter before, but omg it is gee-double-oh-dee GOOD ^___^  There was all kinds of tri tip, ribs, sirloin, blah blah blah. And being a vegetarian, I was beginning to be regretful of coming. But thankfully most places have great options like they actually had a veggie burger, shrimp meals, and catfish. I went with the BBQ shrimp and garlic mashed potatoes. Delicioso!!!

Saturday I got up 'round 9AM to get ready for a full day. I opted for all of my brightest things! I don't have t pictured but I wore a rainbow dress, orange bag, rainbow/silver earrings, hot pink lipstick, and sparkly pink bow! My sister invited me to spend the day with her at a food festival called the "Eat Real Food Festival" in Jack London Square and to the Jamaican street market in Berkeley. I felt that bright colors were an absolute requirement.

 My sis and I went to her BFF's house to get her make up done and take some photos for her website. And then it turned into a mini photoshoot for her friends side business! We had a lot of fun. So much laughter went on at her house. It's funny how you can tell people are best friends. They both act like the same person- total goofballs.

After that was over, I met up with my other sister and my nephew and headed out to the market.

 

All the colors, beads, woods, and just the overall ethnic feel of everything was so great. I loved getting to hang out and bond some more with my older sister :)<3 I got a lot of inspiration from that street market. OH! And there was music!! So much music. On the far end of the lot there was a huge circle of guys with drums (many of them had been handmade by them!) and they were JAMMIN! I mean it was so cool to see everyone really feeling the music. There were some hippies hanging out just off to the side too. Men and women with very strange clothes and unwashed hair hula-hooping like mad. I'm not judging- do yo thang girl. I love hula-hooping myself. But it did make me giggle.

Some hours later we headed off to the food festival. I'm mad that I didn't think to take pictures but there was so much commotion I guess I just forgot. Anyway, food trucks everywhere you turned all with cute names and pretty decorated trucks to boot! Shut You're Hole (donuts & donut holes), Me So Hungry (sliders), Grilled Cheese Bandits, Bite-Size Happiness (mochi ice cream), and about 16 more I can't remember. *Mental note, take pictures of cool things every time you go out*

Sunday was laundry day. Womp womp. I watched Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited on BBC which was cool because it gave me some insight on the doctors 7 & 8. Dad brought me candy, and then I almost killed the dog because I left it out on the table while I fell asleep (it was chocolate. But she's alive I swear!). Dad got a lil mad but I argued that I did not kill her and even if I had it would have been an accident *wink* and proceeded to eat more chocolate. Chocolate that i stole from my mom I might add.

While I'm half-writing this post half-cleaning the living room I found MORE chocolate in my purse!!! It's from the restaurant from Friday night! You know how some places give little mints or something as you leave? Well, this place had full sized tootsie pops! Technically, you're only supposed to take one. But the waitresses will look the other way if you take more. So I did. I took 3 without shame.

That concludes my weekend! Now I'm gonna make tea and paint my nails.

XOXOXO

'Round these parts

Monday, September 23: A "life lately" post. What you're up to, how you're feeling, how you're doing on your goals, etc. 

Welp, aside from preparing myself for the holiday season, I've been taking a bit of time for some self care. Self-nurturing is never selfish! And it means different things for different people. Like my homegirl said:

Quite aggressive, but still true. I've been sort-of blogging here and there lately, online window shopping, eating, binge watching a million shows on Netflix, messing with my hair, dancing in my room for hours, talking on the phone, cleaning out my closet, just STUFF.

I've had a few days where I was feeling a little frustrated and did not want to do anything or go anywhere, so I didn't. Then there were days I felt really energetic and happy and wanted to go out, so I did. Honestly I've just been riding the waves going with the flow of everyday life. That in itself is sometimes difficult because I like the feeling of having a routine and being on a schedule or being able to plan out and control my days/weeks/months but at the same time I find it almost liberating to 'go with the flow' and take everything in stride stopping for brakes when it's needed. So cheers to that!

Goal-wise everything's peachy! I'm on track with the things I want to accomplish this year. Job? Check. Getting out of the house more? Semi-check. Gifts for nieces/sisters? Double check. I have my to-do list on my desk as we speak and everything is going according to schedule.

Feelings @ the moment: a cocktail mix of excited, nervous, and thankful. With an extra shot of 'giddy.'

PSA!

If you're currently reading this on my blog (which you are, obvi), then you may notice a bit of craziness goin on.

BEAR WITH ME

I'm trying to learn all the ins-n-outs of designing my blog myself! As many of you know, this can be a long and frustrating process... 

So far so good but it's not 100% where I want it to be. More like 60%.

So certain links they may be out of whack, graphics are lookin kinda janky, and the like...

Not the greatest thing but I'm a fast learner and I honestly think I'm getting the hang of it :)

Thanks for being patient while I figure things out yall!!

 P.S. it may or may not be "finished" by Saturday. That's what I'm shootin for anyway... ya girls got thangs to do and naps to take lol

So feel free to stalk my blog, I'll still be posting on a regular basis.
Nothing has changed... just the aesthetics!

Everything in my archives and categories section is fully functional despite this :)

*****edit:everything is finished now!!! How does it look?

<----look! I even made a snazzy signature for the end of all my posts!!!
