The fams are doing well. Work is going good.
We just got back from our honeymoon in Curacao - I wrote all those updates in my journal app on my phone. That's kind of where I moved all these updates to. it was absolutely perfect to say the least. Everything about it, coleson was beyond incredible & so serving the whole time too so yeah, just literally the most blessed time. So so grateful. After he had said that he feels each year at the end of Harvest that we need to do something even if it's just a week away, time to reconnect before winter & the downtime.
Work is going good, looks like were going to Florida mid January and going quarterly so next year is going to be crazy. We might also be moving into the parents house by february so well see. I hope to keep these updates going next year because it's going to be just... a lot but I want to remember it all.
anyway, that was super short comparatively but honestly overall Im just really happy. My moody days have finally come down to like 3 or 4 days a month vs like 2 solid weeks at minimum, which obviously has a lot to do with Coleson & Is communication but that's just been beautiful to unfold. He's such an amazing man, honestly I'm just so blessed that God gave me him. Im looking forward to christmas this year, looking at some fun games we can do to make it memorable. Friday Kamber & Tyson are coming over again for games, Im surprising Amber with a best friend awkward photoshoot in two weeks (she quit her job & is currently in nicaragua on a yoga retreat!)
Anyway, I want to get started on ambers wedding present so Im going to work on that now. Hopefully Ill post again soon.

I briefly skimmed part of the last post. Man has the last half of this year really just turn around & flourish. Praise God honestly.
To super recap, Colesons golf tourney in cranbrook at the end of Aug was his last time having chew. The time between July & August definitely was rock bottom, he had scheduled an appt with a councilor which went well & worked on honesty. Since, he has been honest even when it's been hard & i've seen the immense growth & strength. That's just over 3 months quitting cold turkey.
It's been overall pretty good since. I started going to a health clinic that does everything & started acupuncture to help my mood swings & cramps which has helped a lot. My birthday this year was really wonderful. Steven & amanda came out to visit that night. My mom had come out the weekend before & just really loved me (I wasn't sleeping much). Oh because we had Kambers dogs while they were in Bali. Harvest went pretty smooth this year, though longer than normal but our communication was pretty good. There were some days but that's normal & the week I was at Kambers dog sitting was pretty rough but Coleson had really turned around & acknowledged & apologized which showed a lot of character. We celebrated our one year anniversary! It was on a sunday (I think God purposefully actually made that happen this year so i wouldnt be so triggered) and we had a really lovely day, dinner at the water tower with no phones & watched a movie. It was really nice. My birthday (before that - im all over the place) was really lovely ^^ even though I just said that but im emphasizing because that's been such a massive trigger in my life so that was just... such a blessing.
We got through the rest of October and harvest. It was extremely busy. Constant games nights with Kamber & Tyson (we finished our betrayal game!) and time with Kamber, and time with Amber. Continued the prayer nights which have been so good. Its amazing that it only started last year in the summer but we've all grown so much. Stacey bought a house, Amanda is currently on leave from work, Alyson & Adam had bought a house. It's been really special to have that group & to be able to lean in & for prayers.
Amber & Naythan are getting married next year - did I even mention any of this? Im one of her maid of honor, dress shopping for her was really wonderful. Kamber asked me to be her maid of honor too which is awesome, we're dress shopping on the 27th this month. Got back in touch with Sasha which is nice.
I know I know... I disappeared again XD
It’s been a while since my last entry but I am really taken by work right now :(
I have a few commission to send out before August (when I will be on holiday...finally!!) and I am sewing 24/7!!
I hope to be back soon with some updates, I worked on new cosplay patterns for my Etsy shop and I got new dolls (a cheap MSD from Aliexpress and a couple of Barbies from my parents’ house) to test new dolls patterns.
I can’t wait to sew new dolls clothes!!
Meanwhile I wanna show you the dress I sewn for my niece Silvia for her baptism last Sunday (when I finally met my family again since Christmas!! due to the pandemic :( )
My brother’s girlfriend send me the picture of the style she liked and I made this initial sketch (sorry for the quick drawing)
Then I bought a soft lace, tulle and cotton satin to make the dress and I used some crystals to decorate the bodice. I did also a matching headband with a ribbon.
In the end is like making a mini wedding dress!! And after all those dolls clothesit wasn’t very different (my dolls are 54-58 cm tall and my niece is 60 cm XD)
I stared from the bodice (made with one layer of lace, one layer of cotton satin and one layer of soft lining inside) and I sewn all the crystals before attaching the skirt and finishing the edges.
(Then I dedided to remove the little bow on the neck because my niece was always looking down XD and I moved it on the belt)
The skirt is made with a half circle skirt in cotton satin and 4 layers of hard off-white tulle, then outside it has 4 layers of gathered soft white tulle.
I thought they weren’t enough but the result was amazing!
To join the bodice and the skirt I made a little belt in cotton satin fully lined and I sewn it over the seam.
The headband is made of white spandex and the ribbon is made in cotton satin with the same crystals of the bodice and a bigger crystal on top.
(This ribbon was originally made for the belt but in the end I decided to use it for the headband)
And this is the final dress! (I left all the tulle uneven because I decided to see the dress worn before cutting the hem)
And this is my beautiful niece SIlvia on her special day <3
I really hope to see her again very soon
I hope you liked this dress, it was a little detour from my cosplays or my dolls but I was really happy to gift her this dress, just the first of many!!
I still do not know when the next entry will be up because this week I need to ship all the commissions I am working on and finally from August the 2nd I will be on holiday for a few weeks!! I am really tired, mentally and phisically, these last days so I am really longing for some rest!!
Check all my social pages for more updates in the next weeks!
Until next time...

Lo so lo so... sono sparita di nuovo XD
E’ passato un po dall’ultimo aggiornamento ma sono davvero presissima dal lavoro in questo periodo :(
Ho un po di commissioni da spedire prima che inizi Agosto (dove finalmente andrò in vacanza!!) e sto cucendo non-stop!
Spero di tornare presto a pubblicare dei nuovi aggiornamenti, ho lavorato su un pò di cartamodelli cosplay nuovi da mettere nel mio negozio Etsy e mi sono arrivate delle nuove bambole (una MSD economica da Aliexpress e un pò di Barbie che ho preso a casa dei miei genitori) per testare un pò di cartamodelli per bambole.
Non vedo l’ora di cucire nuovi abiti poer le bambole!
Nel frattempo oggi voglio parlarvi un pò del vestito che ho cucito per il Battesimo della mia nipotina Silvia domenica scorsa (quando finalmente sono riuscita a rivedere la mia famiglia da Natale!! a causa della pandemia :( )
La fidanzata di mio fratello mi aveva mandato alcune foto di abitini che le piacevano e ho fatto questo schizzo iniziale (molto velocemente XD )
Ho comprato del pizzo, del tulle morbido e del raso di cotone per fare il vestito e come decorazioni ho usato dei piccoli cristalli argentati sul corpetto. Ho realizzato anche una fascia abbinata per la testa con un bel fiocco.
Alla fine ho realizzato un mini abito da sposa! E dopo tutti gli abiti che avevo fatto per le bambole ultimamente non c’è stata poi cosi tanta differenza (le mie bambole sono alte 54-58 cm e la mia nipotina 60 cm XD)
Ho iniziato dal corpetto (fatto con uno strato di pizzo, uno di raso di cotone e della fodera morbida interna) e ho cucito tutti i cristalli prima di proseguire oltre con l’assemblaggio.
(Poi ho deciso di togliere il piccolo fiocchetto sul collo perche Silvia stava sempre con il mento all’ingiù e le dava fastidio XD perciò l’ho spostato sulla cintura)
La gonna è fatta con una gonna a mezza ruota di fodera, 4 strati di tulle più rigido color crema e esternamente 4 strati di tulle morbido bianco.
All’inizio pensavo non fossero sufficienti e invece indossato era stupendo!
Per unire poi il corpino e la gonna ho fatto una cintura in raso foderato e l’ho cucita sulla cucitura in vita per nasconderla.
La fascia è fatta di lycra bianca e il fiocco di raso, decorato con gl istessi cristalli del corpino e uno più grande al centro.
(Avevo pensato questo fiocco per la cintura ma alla fine era troppo grande e non mi piaceva perciò l’ho usato per la fascia)
Ed ecco l’abito finito!
(Non ho pareggiato il tulle in fondo perchè volevo tagliare la lunghezza giusta una volta che la mia nipotina lo avesse indossato)
E questa è la mia stupenda nipotina Silvia nel suo giorno speciale <3
Spero tanto di rivederla presto! Questa era la prima volta che la vedevo da quando è nata a Febbraio...maledetta Pandemia!
Spero che vi sia piaciuto questo vestitino, leggermente diverso dai miei soliti cosplay e bambole ma mi è piaciuto tantissimo realizzarle questo vestito, e sicuramente ne farò molti altri!
Ancora non so quando farò il prossimo post perchè in settimana devo decisamente spedire tutte le commissioni che sto facendo questi giorni e poi dal 2 Agosto finalmente andrò in vacanza!! Sono veramente stanca utlimamente, fisicamente e mentalmente, e non vedo l’ora di staccare un pò!
Visitate le mie pagine social per aggiornamenti nelle prossime settimane!
A presto...
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a tumblr but I decided to make this so I could document my journey as I study Hellenistic paganism. Today is literally day one for me, I hope to keep up with this account daily to show everyone what I’ve learned, and maybe I’ll even help others once I’ve gotten out of the baby witch phase haha.
I’ve chose the Hellenistic route because it’s what resonates with me the most. I know I have a lot to learn but I’m feeling confident in my choice. So far, just from the research I’ve done, I feel a pull towards Apollo and his sister Artemis, as well as the goddess Tyche and the god Dionysus. (Dionysus just keeps popping up in the back of my mind, not sure why. I also have a large grape vine literally right in my front yard so I feel like I could really use that to my advantage?) I really like the idea of having both feminine and masculine energy to sort of keep a balance. My only problem so far is there’s very little information I could find about Tyche, who i feel could potentially be very prominent in my life as I go further into this. I don’t know much about the kind of signs she gives, or the offerings she enjoys so it would be a shot in the dark.
As for divination I’ve been thinking about the use of candles or possibly tarot cards? I still need to research those more but I’ve always liked them, and I’ve used tarot with a friend who practices before and it was crazy accurate. I’ll keep it updated once I’ve decided.
Anyways, if anyone has any friendly advice on what I should be looking at, maybe book or website recommendations on the best information that would be greatly appreciated. (Also hope I don’t offend anyone with how I’m describing things bc I have zero clue about any of this! I’ll learn though!)

Tumblr won’t let me post my photo because the file is too big. It’s a picture I took at Mt. Herzl which is a famous cemetery in Israel. My cousin Mo is walking through a flower garden at the heart of the cemetery. He didn’t know I took the picture.
I feel like I'm letting the same guy hurt me over, and over, and over again. I don't know why I can't move on. Every time I try to talk to him, he actually TELLS me I'm annoying. He's done this to me tons of times before, and I honestly don't know why I put up with it. We're not even together! And I think that just makes me the most stupid girl in the world. Maybe I put up with him because he was the closest I got to those kind of fairytale shit. He was my biggest crush and the relationship we had has become a dream come true.. and then it turned out to be too good to be true.
It's hard, and I know I've said this a thousand times before, I'm gonna move on. I have to. This can't keep up. There is absolutely nothing good I get from this; whatever this is, all I get is pain and depression. Maybe I love you, I don't know. But, whether I do or I don't, I'm gonna move on. And to the girls who feel the way I do, I have something to say to you. Kill the butterflies and suppress the feelings. You can do it, you will. Little by little. You'll soon realize how he's wrong for you and even if he seems like he's you're dreamguy/soulmate/etc, there's a person out there that's truly right for you. A person you truly deserve. Just be strong.
