Happy Saturday!
I woke up alone today and it was just so quiet. Skylar slept at my sister’s house last night with her cousins Nora and Jesse. I will be picking her up later today. Not sure what I’ll do to kill time until then. First, I must start by fully waking up. lol
Last night, since I was all by my lonesome, I decided to read comments. I was free to use my naughty words. And one of my favorite words slipped out. It always slips out but I always cut it out in the editing. This time I left it in but as a blooper at the end of the video. Watch if you want. Watch if you dare! lol
Not sure what I’ll be recording today. Skylar wants some boots for school so we might head to Biddeford after I pick her up at my sister’s. I also wanted to go to the summer concert tonight at Wells Harbor, but at the moment I’m not feeling it. Need to wait until later to see how I feel.
Oh shit! I have to sew for Skylar! She has an outfit in her head that she wants me to make. I need to get that done! I can’t really work on that without her here, but I can at least start to get an idea of what I want to make. I don’t think I’ll be recording any of that. I need to just be able to concentrate with no cameras.
I also sold out of my Half Yard Cuts of fabric yesterday in record time! They sold out in just over 2 hours. I need to finish cutting those and get them ready for my lovely mail carrier to pick up on Monday. He better do his job right this time!
Not too much else to say, at least not that I can think of right now. Just feeling sad. That’s okay. At least it’s a gray day so that always helps my mood.

TGIF!
I have been using this daily chat as my diary lately. That’s pretty much how blogs started. It was to document life. A web log. Blog. Now that I’m bringing mine back to what it was meant to be, my views are going up. I like that.
Yesterday I let loose in a video. I have been completely drained by Skylar’s visit. It’s not because Skylar is here. I love being with her. But it means my schedule is upside down. It means I must communicate with family members that I don’t normally chat with (family stressed me to the max). It means I’m constantly looking at a little girl that I love and will suffer for as she goes through life’s struggles. I hate all that.
I’m surprised by how many people sort of feel the same way I do. You can read the comments to see what I mean. Warning, I’m finally coming out of the closet as a non-believer in god. Not only do I not believe, I can’t believe anyone would believe that shit. And I find it very offensive when people push god on me or on anyone. It’s very self serving to say “I’ll pray for you” and stuff like that. If you want to pray for me, that’s between you and your god. You don’t need to tell me about it or post that shit for others to see. Not everyone believes. So if you push it on me, you’re going to get a smart ass reply. So over it.
With Skylar’s trip coming to an end, I’m going to be very down and out. Might not do any more videos with her. I still have one to upload on her channel about the kids at the rec. Hard for me to even watch that. Everything is so painful. I hate creating memories.
Cheerful, right? lol Just being honest and open and real. Don’t like it? Leave.

Happy Thursday!
Yesterday, we ended up going to the Springvale Rec to meet my sister who had Nora and Jesse. Skylar had fun swimming with her cousins then they enjoyed a picnic then it was playground time. I recorded some of that for Skylar’s channel but I have not uploaded it yet. Hope to do that today.
Last night, I put a t-shirt dress on eBay and as I expected, no bids. It’s hard with clothing due to sizing and I also left the dress long and I know many won’t want to cut it for fear that they’ll do it wrong. I have zero interest in altering and will even have the dress packaged before the auction ends. So I don’t think clothing will work for me on eBay. Not unless I make something very free fitting that will fit many sizes and that it’s not long so no one has to cut. But when I used to make custom clothing, so many of my ladies said they needed long and could not get long enough anywhere, so I like to have a long option out there. I may keep playing with it.
And just to explain, I’m really only doing eBay as a way to bring new viewers to my youtube channel. I get so many emails asking if you can just buy something off me directly, and that’s really not a line of work that I want to get in to. If I make something, I want it to use that item or garment as a way to help me out… by putting it on eBay for others out there to see. When they read the description, they see a link to my channel and that might get me a new subbie. So that’s why I do it the way I do it.
Today I need to decide what I want to do for Fabric Friday. I have the fabric here but I have not decided on a cut. I also have tons of laundry to do and I want to start cleaning up before Derrick gets here. We were good at picking up as we go but I’ve been slacking with that the past two days and our desks are quite cluttered. The craft table is too. I don’t do well with clutter.
I’m also feeling horribly down in the dumps because Skylar’s trip is coming to an end. Very sad. I have such a hard time to enjoy anything because I’m always dwelling on final outcomes. I know everyone says we are creating memories and I totally get that for most people creating memories are a good thing. I don’t like memories, not even good ones. I just don’t. I’m too realistic for that. In the end, we all die. Plain and simple. I don’t enjoy the death journey. I just don’t. Not looking for support on this. I’m just stating my feelings. I’m using my blog as my diary. You are invited to read it all you want. But I’m not willing to discuss. Like I said, totally down and out right now. I’m not even putting this post on social media. If you happen to come across it, cool beans.
Then Skylar and I hit Walmart to get a roll of paper for an old printing calculator so Skylar can have fun doing some calculating. We also picked up a cake for Sandy Pro‘s birthday then visited with Sandy’s family for a bit. That was very nice!
I did 3 loads of laundry yesterday too. And that was just dish cloths and a few towels. I have a serious issue with using too many dish cloths. lol Today I need to wash clothes. I probably have 3 loads of that too.
I also want to figure out what I’m doing for Fabric Friday so I can start cutting fabric. I already have all the fabric because I picked up 2 weeks worth last week. I need to get busy with that.
And Skylar and I need to pick a winner for her Mystery Giveaway (it’s closed now)! Forgot to do that yesterday. If you entered, please check your email later today to see if you won! And expect to see more giveaways from me after Skylar leaves. I have been wanting to do more of those for a long time but never quite figured out how I want to run them. I don’t want my giveaways to be only about gaining subscribers. I also don’t want to pick a random winner who may not even be watching my videos. I want my winners to be devoted peanut gallery members. So I have a little twist planned! Stay tuned for that!
As for videos for today, just not sure at all. There is a possibility that we go to the rec today. Not sure about that either. If we do go, I might record some of that. If not, I just don’t know. Can you tell I’m not sure? lol Might be able to put together a snippets video. Those are usually fun and easy. Going with the flow!
Oh, I just had an idea! I’d like to put a T-Shirt dress on eBay! I have some extra T-Shirts here and some extra fabric. I bet Skylar would like to see us do that. She’s very interested in my eBay listings and auctions. And since my mannequins are now in my sewing and craft room, I don’t have to go to the hot bedroom upstairs to take pics! Must do!
