Sew What?!

    I've been attached to my sewing machine making impromptu orders of rice bags! I posted on social media that I had made some for cozy season for myself and the crowd went wild! so I've been behind the sewing machine for the last couple of days! 

    Don't get me wrong I am so grateful, but I honestly just wanted to see if I still remembered how to sew! I taught myself how to sew during the height of the pandemic so I could help supply people with masks! I started off hand sewing them and then decided to invest in a sewing machine! 

    Now, many months later, I'm feeling my heartstrings being pulled by the machine again! I have always loved creating with my hands and this is such a fun way to create all the things! I want to learn how to make clothes next! 

    The only issue with this is that I am notorious for NOT following patterns. I always want to, "Figure it out for myself." I guess things have to like, "line up" when you're making clothes...semantics! 

    Anyway, I made 13 (two in the same pattern!) Last night and they just need to be filled once people confirm their orders, so onto the next batch of them I guess! 

    Anyway, I hope you're having a great week so far! If your kids went back to school, if YOU went back to school, teachers and personnel I hope your weeks are going swimmingly! 

    Happy educating! 


XOXO

Cookie Era!

  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

Adult Money...

Image
Having access to adult money is ridiculous sometimes! Gets notification: “Your TV will be delivered Saturday!” Gets another notification: “Your remaining packages will be being delivered several a day until Christmas” Like okay, Siri! Thanks for reminding me of my inability to stick to the budget I created each week! I go over it by an offensive amount each week! I should know by now that I can't even follow my own rules.  If you're good at this kind of stuff, I applaud you!  XOXO  Also, thanks for selling me out, SIRI- you bitch!

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
