{A Homemade Halloween: Pin Cushion}

October 30, 2020 by kelerr

I was so excited when I found out we were still having our work Halloween costume competition this year. As usual, I had a plan. I had already decided last year that I was going solo this year, so learning that there would be no group costumes was no problem for me. I was going rogue and solo and perfectly on brand for me as… a Pin Cushion! For added fun, I decided to also include a measuring tape scarf […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Books 81-90, Mysteries 19-22, Super Mystery 1 & Portrait Collection: Claudia’s Book & Dawn’s Book}

October 27, 2020 by kelerr

You know the drill by now. Here’s my latest installment of my nostalgia reading of the BSC! We must be at least partially in the realm of when I started to outgrow the series, though I know from upcoming titles that I at least read some of them. To be honest? I kind of gave up after Dawn left, even though in this installment she hasn’t quite left officially yet. In fact, she’s initially back… but then swiftly gone again. […]

{Halloween Memories}

October 23, 2020 by kelerr

A week from today we are holding my annual work Halloween costume contest for the staff. It’s a little different this year. No group costumes and only two categories, but it is our tradition and I’m really happy we’re still doing it! So today I’m doing what I call a “fake new episode.” I needed a post for today but had no idea what to post. Remote teaching is so much busier now than it was back in March when […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Books 76-80, Mysteries 15-18, Super Specials 11-12, Shannon’s Story, Secret Santa & Portrait Collection: Stacey}

October 20, 2020 by kelerr

As you can tell from the title of this post, this is a doozy of a BSC reread installment. There were a whopping fourteen books, in a number of different categories, including another one of the special letter books (Secret Santa). This installment also introduces the Portrait Collection, which focuses on one BSC member at a time and, after a couple of posts without a single super special, this one has TWO! Still reading these in hyper-drive to keep listening […]

{October Sewing Update}

October 16, 2020 by kelerr

It’s amazing how being back to regular work just strips all the of sewjo right out of me. I’m not even that busy outside of work hours, but I’ve found myself just coming home and vegging out more than anything else lately. I’ve been reading more than sewing lately, which I guess makes sense since I’m home more than usual and don’t really need to wear my regular fancy clothes. Really looking forward to the day I can again. Don’t […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Books 71-75 & Mysteries 13-14}

October 13, 2020 by kelerr

Two BSC rereads posts in a row! I try to space these out a little more, but I’m in between sewing projects right now and it was either a BSC reread post or nothing for today, so here we go. I believe at this point in my rereading the BSC journey I am more than halfway finished with the regular series. However, I also believe there are at least five more super specials, a number of mysteries, a few super-mysteries, […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Books 66-70, Mysteries 10-12 & Chain Letter}

October 9, 2020 by kelerr

I have to start reading these books more fiendishly as I just finished binging all the episodes of The Baby-Sitters Club Club podcast of the books I’ve read, and I want to events to be fresh in my mind when I listen to the guys talk about the books! So we’re going to jump right into this installment. Book sixty-six, Maid Mary Anne, was fun mainly because it was all about sewing! However, storyline-wise, it was more “meh.” Mary Anne […]

{Recreating Mrs. Maisel: Miami After Dark Dress Revealed!}

October 6, 2020 by kelerr

A week and a half ago, I posted my update on my second Marvelous Mrs. Maisel dress recreation, hoping that I would soon be able to post the finished product. It’s a dress I began working on many months ago, and have probably been planning since last September when I first saw it in the Miami After Dark scene on the show. A few days after that post went live, I was determined to finish the dress once and for […]

{What I Read: September 2020}

October 2, 2020 by kelerr

Though I’m busier than I’ve been in months, I still found time to read tons of BSC books and an additional three “regular” books this month. If I’m being honest, it’s getting harder and harder to read regular books after reading all these much lower level books so much, so I should probably amp up the adult books for next month. As I said last month, Viveca Sten’s books are hit or miss for me, but as they are a […]
