Fucking mylar balloon next to our pond. DON'T LET MYLAR BALLOONS LOOSE. Livestock and wildlife eat and drink here. They're bad for the environment. Keep them inside.

Stopped in to Joann's with the notion that I was only going to get the stuff I needed or was a good deal. Still dropped $100. Employees friendly, store still packed, others not falling for the 20% off sales Strong smell of weed in the back & rock/pop blasting over the speakers.

Proudly flying the bear flag.

Finally sharing my Chicago Bears puffer jacket made from 3 jerseys. It has a quilted lining & slanted welt pockets. It was a fun project to work on & I look forward to making another one. (Not sharing pattern as it sucks & took many alterations to fit my muslin) #garmentsewing #sewing

I told you earlier that my coping mechanism lately is sewing. So here's the beginnings of dress #3.

Finished my crushed velvet 1970's does 1940's witchcore dress. I often wear stretch velvet dresses for daywear, but this one looks pretty shiny and more "evening", so I guess this is my V-Day dress. (Franken pattern dress inspired by the Hell Bunny Galactica) #garmentsewing #sewing #fatsewing

My favorite Christmas present: Garth Brooks debut album on vinyl. Not sure why this hasn't been reissued, which I find annoying.

Listening to #TaylorSwift TTPD Anthology on my husband's vintage Thorens. The bad reviews of the vinyl of this album are ludicrous. If you have a quality turntable, the pressing is A+. You don't need a $3k+ turntable BTW, the sound is solid on my $200 audio-technica. (Throwing shade at crosley)
