#nova2017

I sewed my own clothes for the first time!! Captain Eleanore Cosplay helped me and showed me how to use a sewing machine. I'm so thankful QwQ I thought it would be really hard and I was super daunted, but it was easy and I enjoyed doing it x3 I wanna do more. I actually need a cosplay to go with my White Fang mask, so I'm thinking of making their vest next. I only made the top, but I'm so proud of myself because it fits so well :') we used one of my own tops as a guide for this one. Thankfully, my pants from my Korra cosplay matched this one perfectly~~~~ this went really well x3 Do you know who I am? I'm Connie from Steven Universe :3 I'll be at Supanova in Melbourne as Connie this Saturday~ #art #artist #artwork #cosplay #stevenuniverse #connie #conniesu #suconnie #sucosplay #stevenuniversecosplay #stevenuniverseconnie #sewing #swordswoman #supanova #nova2017 #supanova2017 #melbournesupanova

For some reason my yard is being taken over by turkey vultures this morning. #wellofaith #weirdwildlife #NoVa2017 #nofilter #winter2017

*Happy dance* Nap won today! Sure, I'm not getting anything done, but this little bug is getting some much needed napping in. 😴 #wellofaith #ohlenirae #snuggletime #sleepwins #NoVa2017

This is never more noticable than while I'm waiting on an installer to show up. The vague 8-11 time slot makes it really hard to go into the basement to unpack when I won't hear him knock. These could be usable napping hours, but I have kids, so that's out too. #wellofaith #livingtruth #life #anxiety #firstworldproblems #parenting #NoVa2017 #whoneedssleep

#Teething has definitely brought sleepy #snuggles back into our routine. #wellofaith #livingtruth #life #anxiety #parenting #cuddleswithbaby #ohlenirae #messyhairdontcare #NoVa2017

After two months of transitional upheaval, things are finally starting to come to an end. Today I have a job interview to work at the local YMCA 🏋️‍♀️and by this time next week we should be in our own home. 🏡 #wellofaith #livingtruth #life #anxiety #workingmom #breathe #NoVA2017

Today this crazy girl turned 10. Ever day she gets more sure of herself and more independent. It won't be long before she is a teenager, with even more drama than I'll know what to do with. Until then I'll try tontale a step back and embrace our daily struggles right along with the giggles, grins, and deep discussions. 💃 While we are still technically homeless as we continue navigating this transition, our family of the heart made sure she had a wonderful day filled with midday cake and Ice cream, birthday songs, and gifts. Between our special birthday outing yesterday (My Little Pony Movie and Bottomless Shrimp), and today, she has definitely been celebrated. 🎂Happiest of Birthdays to my Mini-me!🎂 #wellofaith #life #10yrsold #birthday #NoVAorbust #ohkaleakat #NoVa2017 #growingup

My eldest daughter loves to draw, and this is her newest artwork. She pointed out how she made the cat's hind legs realistic. ❤ #ohkaleakat #artistinresidence #homeschool #life #NoVa2017
