It really was such a thrill to experience this today with my family. I’m still in my feels over it. Pictures can’t capture that feeling of standing outside with my neighbors and family, marveling at a natural wonder that we probably won’t get to experience again. 🖤🖤🖤

Just a little pic of baby, 7 weeks in, wearing the onesie I decorated for him at my baby shower! I used fabric markers to make this little Tajín bottle that says his nickname, “Baz” on it! He already fills up so much more space on his boppy than he did a month ago 😭

I might go in and embroider the design just to have it for a keepsake later on 😅

I had my baby! And he’s a squishy little love muffin 🖤 I’m slowly but surely working through all the video that I have to edit still and yes that means I’ll have belated Preggy looks which will make me feel like oh yeah, I looked like a person before postpartum 🤣 I didn’t disappear!

So grateful to for these gorgeous pics of the belly dance performance at the Cirque Noel () show! Belly dancing while pregnant has been a great way for me to have an exercise time, I got to meet this amazing group of women and make new friends, and I challenged myself on the costume! There’s a few more that I want to post but the orientation of the photos is different so I’ll be posting them separately!

I crocheted a headband! I followed Wonder.Netting’s tutorial on YT and it taught me some Tunisian crochet and I also winged my own headband part using double half-crochets!

There are a lot of strings that I’m supposed to weave in but I kind of like the danglies.

Just a little collection of all the things I’ve crocheted! And this isn’t even everything 😅

We’re heading to the ren faire today and I got to wear my crochet dress! Which means I got better pictures of it! So far, it has been growing with me and it hasn’t disappointed me yet.

This week was a doozy and after focusing so much on helping w the set and making sure props were good for , I’ve been officially so pooped.
I also don’t have my BP meds until they restock them at my pharmacy, which is making me nervous for the next few days 😅 Time to get back on it for my Ren Faire outfit!!

Got to watch the final dress rehearsal before the opening night of Wait Until Dark at The Weekend Theater and it was SO GOOD!

Anyone in the LR area should definitely come and check it out if you want to get creeped out this spooky season!

Unpopular opinion/crochet hot take:

I think NOT weaving in the ends is cute 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yarn overflowing? Make another yarn hammock! I’m actually super proud of this one—and I’m gonna try to make a tutorial though tbh if I do, then I’m just gonna end up with another yarn hammock and I don’t actually need it. I might squirrel it away for Christmas gifts though… but I’m not gonna confirm or deny that that’s my plan in case I don’t stick to it!

I am so glad that summer is coming to a close and that all of the plays are done! Children of Eden was a beautiful experience and I made a waterfall (more on that later!), went swimming with my family, my kiddo was in her FIRST musical ever and did an amazing job, but I am ready to get back to a consistent routine and schedule, especially once school starts back up. I’m working on catching up with my posts and my sleep and housecleaning—I might post abt the struggles bc why not!

Whenever my ✨look✨ is super put together, it usually means I haven’t showered in a while. My partner told me I had a “pastel tank girl” vibe going on today. I’ll take it! Still struggle bussing but it’s getting better. 🖤

Don’t worry, this set is just unpainted—we are not setting Lysistrata in a high school! 🤣 (Though that could be a wild take!) Memorizing 21 pages of lines has been a lot and I definitely feel like I have a whole ton in my brain right now, but I feel good! Each run through gets smoother and smoother and I can’t wait for our opening next weekend!

Copy and pasted from : The Weekend Theater has been busy at work this last week pulling together Lysistrata, a classic tale just dripping with innuendo. When the women of Greece decide enough is enough and demand peace, they do so by withholding the only thing their men love more than war - s*x.

Lysistrata will open June 9 and run through June 25, with showtimes at 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday nights, and 2:30pm on Sundays. Tickets available NOW at www.weekendtheater.org!

In case you missed it: I’ve been gone because of working on and being a part of Batboy! the Musical but then IMMEDIATELY went into working on ! It’s the next performance that I get to be a part of with and though it is a much smaller, chiller, less intense experience as Batboy, there’s something really freeing in being able to light-heartedly perform a character that’s s*xually empowered and gathers the women to work toward peace!

A quick look at some ✨ looks ✨ since I haven’t had time to edit ALL of the footage I have from being in The Weekend Theater’s production of the musical! We did get a positive review and they even mentioned me!! I could have cried from it but instead I kept crafting and then had occasional spurts of “AH THEY LIKED ME” and then would go back to making things 🤣 (Pls check out my birthday fundraiser for the theater on my profile!!)

There were a lot of days where I couldn’t do much but focus on the play, however my little “just for me” has stayed my so here’s a few parts of looks that I was happy with during the last two months!

I also started playing around with make up again—nothing as extra as I USED to do, but finding ways to be a liiiiittle extra and playful with s.

I havent posted in way too long but too be fair, I’ve been in a musical! I was not only asked to work on props as the props mistress for ’s production of but have also had the honor of performing on stage as Meredith, a character who has really hit me right in the heart.

The amazing people that have all worked on this to put it together have blown me away and I’m glad to have a new batch of really close creative, talented, musical, and supportive friends locally!

PLUS, I agreed to be props mistress after not having a clue how to even do any of the things I did! I have so much video so don’t worry, once I manage to edit it all, I’m going to definitely be showing progress on things though some stuff had to just be whipped out a little faster near the end. I also found some neat things for props that I’m excited to get more familiar with!

This weekend is our last run and Friday and Sunday are my last days—if you’re local, come check it out! If not, then help me in supporting a nonprofit theater who wanted to put on this musical as a response to the upsetting anti-lgbtq legislation and BS decisions happening in our state!

(Look in my b!0!)

Aw and I haven’t even been able to post all the things I want to post!

Twas simple but lately I’ve been working on some bigger things and they’re taking a while!

A crochet stroller bag for a dear friend! I used vintage buttons and played around w different stitches—and I’ll be putting it in the mail (late) this week!

I found one online that’s more of a hidey hole for a cat so I can’t wait to add to this one and give him a whole cover for it!!

03/06/2023

Oops if you saw the last one! 🤣

03/03/2023

Should I try and review other crochet kits? This was fun and it does end up leaving you with a pattern—and I kind of wish I personally had had a visual review of it beforehand from someone that knows at least a little about crochet! I also want to see if I can reuse this pattern with BIGGER a yarn and make a bunch of sushi pillows!

I don’t understand the diff between posting as a reel or as a post buuuut I’m gonna try to do both
