Hello, world. Good morning from TinyTown. It’s sunny, and it’s a beautiful day, aside from the fact that we’re all still in the hellscape timeline. I blame Sonny from Google+, who once visited the Large Hadron Collider just because. At this point in time, I’m not 100% convinced he wasn’t a Time Lord up to no good.
We enjoyed a very lazy Tuesday afternoon. We watched wrestling and castle shows – two opposite ends of the spectrum of our spectrums. I did some data entry, but mostly surfed on Reddit. We went out to the secondhand shop in the afternoon, where I grabbed three odd bits of fabric for Halloween projects. I found a mystery roll of stretchy, striped velvet in the $1 bucket, so I grabbed that. I found a decent quality white sheet in the drop cloth bin, another $1, that’s going to make me at least one apron. A pink pillowcase will find a new life as a hat.
According to the Canada Post tracking, my last Temu order should arrive today. That has the main parts of my main Halloween costume: a cute little Strawberry Shortcake-style dress, and some striped socks (and a matching bra and panty set, because the smut machine demands content). I found a pattern I want to use for the apron a couple of days ago. I was looking for patterns for the OG Strawberry Shortcake hat last night, and wondering how I was going to do the little strawberries on it. While I found a cute, toy-accurate bonnet pattern, I had an epiphany while searching.
A guy with his dick in his hand is not going to give a single fuck that my hat isn’t 100% accurate.
I opted to make my own design, and skip the strawberry accents on it. I cut the pillowcase up into the main pieces, using a bit of 8th grade geometry in the process to ensure sizing was right. The striped fabric turned out to be three roughly rectangular pieces, which limited its use. I traced a pair of comfy panties to make a rough pattern, cut, and pinned the pieces together.
Shawshank has work today. I’m not 100% set on what I’ll be doing, but it won’t be in clown form because I don’t want to go nuts with that until I can restock my white. I might put Podrick in the bedroom for his afternoon nap, cut/pin/sew shit together, then stream later tonight.
