Bathing suit done, so mini vacation! I'm planning on taking pictures of it tomorrow.
I love the ocean...

I decided against shortening the straps, so the bathing suit is done. I knit about half the belt, but then decided I was happy without it. So done! Although maybe I'll change my mind for Costume College!
Check In: Day 14

Happy Saturday! How has writing been today?
-Awesome!
-Pretty good!
-Haven't written today (yet)!
-Haven't written today (life)!
-Taking a rest!
Today's question: where do you like to write? At a specific place in your home? A cafe? A local library?
-Awesome!

The shoes are done and I'm very happy!
I decided to try wax resist on a scarf. It was clear it wasn't going to work, so I washed the wax out. Only it didn't wash all the way out. And the color was wrong anyway. A polka dot skinny scarf will be here from Amazon Sunday.
Two failed attempts, I threw the wax away 😂

Happy Friday!! Time for another check in! How was everyone's writing today?
-Awesome!
-Moving along!
-Life has taken priority!
-I rested!
Today's discussion:
Do you have any favorite planning methods? (Bullet points, writing it all vaguely out, the three act/six act structure, etc.)

I felt like making the shoes today, so I did. They're done except for the grommets because my downstairs neighbors might not appreciate it this late. I did set two though, just to get an idea of what the laces will look like.
I'm glad I made them! They went together smoothly and it was a nice distraction

Happy Thursday! Time for a quick check-in!
How has writing been going today?
-Awesome! :D
-Coming along! :)
-Life has taken a priority (rest, busy etc)
When you're feeling a bit burned out, how do you fill your "creative well"?

I'm not sure I'm going to finish them, but I sewed the soles for bathing shoes tonight. I pinned the mockup I made last year on top of them, and they turned out surprisingly close to good. If I feel like it, I'll make another mockup tomorrow.
This morning my mom's seven month old phone was totally dead. Not battery wise, but just dead. It had randomly turned off a few times in the last few days. It was a 2023 Motorola Razr--the foldable one. So this morning was spent setting up her new Pixel 9a. I have the Pixel 9 pro XL, so it's familiar to me.
This afternoon one plug on my power strip lost power. That was weird. And I guess I'm getting muscle memory for my new automatic, because when I was setting up Bluetooth in my mom's car, it wouldn't start because I forgot to clutch. I still really miss shifting, so it's probably a good thing I'm at least adjusting.
I also went to the boardgame cafe with a teacher friend. So it was a very full day!
