sometimes i think i'm not that much "my dad but a lesbian" and then sometimes my dad unpacks my old baby toys so our baby can play with them and literally all of them are the same brand as the toys i've been favouriting on vinted for the last few months

I’m still mad Kishi showed us Rin reuniting with Obito (and ofc shes acting like the perfect gf bc gods forbid this 14 yo child soldier has any feeling or opinion abt her best friend murdering half the ppl she knew) but not Izuna and Madara. I just want to know what the fuck Izuna thought of all this bullshit bc from the little we’ve seen of him he seems to be quite reasonable and level-headed like I just want to know how he reacted to Madara setting the world on fire SEVERAL TIMES OVER for him.

Strawberry hearts quilt progress!!! I love most of it (let’s not talk about the bottom middle block lol)
I was going to add a border between the blocks, but I think I might sew it together as-is

this week because i had so few orders i brought my quilt stuff to work on at work and i got three hours of work in yesterday and five in today. then i was so stoked i spent three hours sewing this evening. my body hurts so badly and tho i did the math for 1/4" seam allowance i misjudged the size of my presser foot and sewed at 5/16-3/8" which amounts to a heartbreaking amount of size lost.
okay i did the math and actually my initial estimate was correct i only lost two inches which is frankly impressive and not difficult to supplement with the border i was already planning to do

Some days I don't feel like sewing because the projects involve measuring and cutting up the fabric (the worst part for me) but I just might finally get on it because I cannot keep spending money on new clothing items when I know damn well I can make it myself.

made tote bags!
#mine#such a simple project. i think genuinely the most mishaps of any sewing i have done all year.#first i spent 15m wondering why the bobbin thread wouldn't go into the machine.#realized i was turning the wheel thing backwards and not forwards.#then spent like 30m making the initial seams only to have the back thread absolutely matted#before realizing it was a tension issue#then also somewhere in there realized my plan for french seams was maybe not working out#since i started with the fabric facing the wrong way so the flappy bits would have to be on the outside when done#tried welting it but this was before the tension was fixed so that meant horrible matting on the visible part of the fabric#fixed tension went over all the seams#just let the one bag have flappy bits on the outside whatever it's kind of trendy i guess but i fixed it on the second one#it was mostly fine from there except i couldn't sew over four layers of thick canvas with my machine so i had to sort of just not sew some#parts anyway handsewing will fix that or i'll just leave it idk#one bad also has twisted handles but i don't think i care enough to fix it it looks fine enough#also the things that move the fabric through weren't working at first but fixing the tension sorted that out whoo#they do look good i'm not mad at the result#and i needed new tote bags so this is great and the fabric is beautiful i got it on holiday as one of the few things i got myself then#it was a beach bag which i pieced and that was the plan was to make tote bags because i carry around my sewing or knitting in them#and my current bag has too many holes in the bottom to be the best option anymore

I’ve been hearing different kinds of art advice and I’m torn on them.
Should you go through and finish something even though it doesn’t look good and is flawed in many ways OR scrap the piece and do it a different way/abandon the idea altogether?
#im a person who doesnt want to waste resources. If im unsure of the outcome then i dont do it#i dont know how to sew or bake because i dont want to waste fabric or ingredients on a fuck up#but i want to have fun DOING SOMETHING. Like haha baking cupcakes would be fun haha oh no its burnt#i havent gone through with ANY STORY IDEA ive had because i dont know how it willbegin all the way to the end#and im hearing advice like make that shitty make that shitty game but i cant bring myself to even start it#like i CANT make things without a purpose. If i dont have the finished product in mind#im too afraid to mess up im too afraid to fail#but like doing nothing is worse than failing no?#the other advice i saw was just leaving things as sketches. Not everything needs to be finished and not everything needs to be seen#and thats another issue i have. Not only will i not do things unless i know the productis good#i wont show you guys anything unless its appealing. And combining those two..li just dont make anything anymore#like…i cant take either advice because of how embarassed ashamed and afraid of failure i am#i want to let loose. I want to be free. I want to create nonsense from the heart rather than thinking everything through and through#every meticulous detail. Every sketch upon sketch upon sketchto deliver on something no one will see#i get that. I get that im not hot shit. Im not big or important. I have nothing left to bring to the table and#i guess knowing that stops me from doing anything because i think that the only thing im allowed/forced to do is make things worthy#i dont display my art in my room anymore. I dont doodle random things anymore. I open commissions because my drawings need a purpose#and thats stupid because im nobody. I have no purpose. My purpose is just to enjoy life. And being like THIS isnt enjoying life#its not even drawing its just anything. Socializing being with friends or family. Watching movies or playing games#i cant enjoy myself. Because i dont know how its going to GO. Thats not living. Life isnt fucking planned. Its spontaneous#but i cant DO that. And I dont know how to fix it.#but thats enough about me. What advice to you go by? Just going with it or redoing it?

lighthouse painting quilt planning bc @humblexwanderer is a terrible, terrible influence <3
(less planning and more rambling every thought i have about this i am So Sorry. i am always like this)
Tumblr media
i must preface this that ive never made a quilt before but i do sew and have the gay audacity to believe i can pull off all these hard seams with 0 experience
the plan here is to buy nothing except thread and maybe binding. im gonna steal the fabric from my works scrap bin so i will be a little limited on what colours i can get- half the reason im considering going through with this is i keep remembering theres practically a whole roll of fabric in the scrap bin that i could use for the back of the quilt, and thats basically all the extra encouragement i needed
here's my general plan (blocked colours arent supposed to be accurate, more representative of which areas will be the same fabric)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and a lineart plan- ill be printing this out and sticking it together to make my pattern
Tumblr media
im calling this a quilt but really im /thinking/ its gonna be more of a blanket- the fabric ill be getting from work is upholstery weight wool, thicker than a coating, so itll weigh a lot as is and have some decent chonk without any batting.
im undecided on the size right now- not sure if i should go for a single blanket size or limit myself to a bed runner kind of size. i think the design is one that gets easier the bigger it is, and itll make a better blanket if you can wrap yourself in it, but i imagine most the time ill be displaying it on the bottom of my bed and id like to be able to appreciate the full design.
for reference: single bed size is: 150 x 200cm (60in x 79in) a bed runner is around 100cm x 50cm ( 40in x 20in ) these are approximations as id obviously be trying to keep the design in ratio. (the design is about twice as long as it is wide)
my quilting plan is probably to just follow the seams, maybe add a motif in so i get a nice design on the back? perhaps some light from the lighthouse (this'd also help quilt down those big patches in the middle!
ive got a few bits im totally undecided on: whether ill do a kind of afterquilt on the back on just leave it entirely plain, how im gonna do the fine details on the lighthouse (im thinking maybe a button for the top? or even just embroidery?) im also debating if it should have the white border like its framed or not- i think itd probably look nice, and would be great to have brown binding to represent the picture frame, but white is probably a really hard fabric to grab from work sooooo
if you read all this i am giving u a forehead kiss <3

spent the evening wondering why i was SO determined to install or build some kind of shelf for the laundry room or bathroom before my roommate gets back from the business trip she’s been dreading for over a month and only on my car ride home did i realize it’s because acts of service and gift giving are high up in my love languages esp when they coincide into a labor of love
