Welcome to the life of Sew Yupik
Small town Yupik girl living her dream one stitch at a time.
Happy Halloween!
Here are more to top off the end of the month! BUT I will be rushing home at lunch to whip out my husbands costumes we are going to be Coke and Rum! And they will be homemade costumes so I will be posting photos tomorrow after I have them made! I decorated the outside of the house last night and just need to add more spooky things and spooky tunes!
Stay tuned!
Happy Halloween! Be safe! & Eat lots of candy!
Just a few more days to whip out more products for the month of October!
Whew!
So nuts! A month filled of crafting, political antics, classes, traveling to the villages, and school, oh and I forgot to mention HOME life which all together can be stressful.
This evening is dedicated to halloween bag, qaspeqs, and class. OH and decorating my small porch for Halloween so the kids can have a little scare before they get their jumbo size candy bars!
Will post photos later!
For the meantime ENJOY!
Another busy bee.
Who says 13 credits, full time job, part time job, teenager, husband, pupper-do and sewing wasnt possible?
I guess you can say I like to stay busy as a bee, and do a very good job of that.
We are half-way thru October, which is insane! Where has summer gone? Where has fall gone?
As winter nears I get excited but sad because of how quickly time passes us, and sometimes I dont stop to enjoy the moments.
I enjoy what I do.
I enjoy my full time job.
My part time job working with the political frenzy is coming to an end. Only 12 more days and then the big boom of rush to the polls. So vote early, and just flat right vote.
And I love sewing. I love when winter nears because that means it times to bust out the fur and get fuzzy.
If I could just sew and go to school I dont know if that would be busy enough for me hence the two other jobs and all the other hats at home.
BUT enough rambling.
Heres the latest and greatest and I should have more projects to share before the end of the year!
Enjoy!
Do what makes you happy.
Do it often and with joy because life is all about being happy and finding joy in the little things such as sewing or beading.
Lets just say its been a busy few months of harvesting berries and greens, sewing like a maniac, and taking time to breathe.
But here is what I what I have whipped up so far. Its been a crazy few months but as winter is approaching I will be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Nothing like feeling rich with good food, friends, and family.
My heart is happy.
5:30 morning phone calls that boil my blood
sewing
sewing
and more sewing
I will elaborate on my fun 5:30 am phone call. Everyone wants that phone call. You want that phone tell, let me tell you. It starts your morning out with a bang.
6 Qaspeqs
in
6 days! Was fun and fun! Tiring but fun!
They turned out amazing!
Miss Megan Leary is representing our Kuskokwim region as I type!
Check out my handy dandy work! These qaspeqs were beautiful and I had a good time sewing them!
Hope you enjoy my work!
5:30 phone calls cant bring me down as long as I keep pushing.
5:30 comes and goes everyday twice a day and I remind myself I am better than that. I am better than her. I am a stronger person. I dont deserve to be rudely awakened at 5:30 am to be cussed out and called all sorts of nasty names at such an early hour. I am a better and stronger person.
Ring, ring
Its 5:30 wake up.
Ring, ring
Hurry its 5:30 wake up
Oh, must be important.
5:30 wake up calls are unusual.
Oh, wait am I 7 again? or 10? or 14?
I remember those awful calls.
Dad unplugging the phone.
Me unplugging the phone.
Who else would be waking me at an ungodly hour.
Ring, ring.
Maybe if I ignore it she will hang up.
Nope
On comes the answering machine
and there it is
that
dreadful
awful
voice
its her…
My blood is boiling, the tears are swelling, and the assholes, bitches, mother effer’s come out
its 5:30 why not
lets start the morning off right.
Nothing but F you’s and you stupid B’s and all that jazz.
5:30
Oh how I hate you
I hate those memories
those horrible tired mornings
You stupid B just rot in hell please and leave me be
Because 5:30 comes and goes
but her
shes always there
waiting for the next morning to
call
harrass
and
ruin
my
life
one
day
at
a
time.
Thanks mom!
Did I mention that I hate you.. Yup, sure do.
So bring it on 5:30 I’ll be ready.
Its nights like these where,
I wonder if anything is ever going to get better…
Its nights like these where,
I wonder if I am ever going to be able to move forward with my life…
Its nights like these where,
I wonder when its going to stop, the calls, the texts, the anger, the hatred…
Angerness fills my soul in moments like these,
Its moments like these where I want to just want to run away…
Run away from her.
Run away from the anger, and the sadness.
Tiring.
Tiring to have these feelings and emotions day after day, night after night.
I feel like I am breaking into a million pieces, and never have the chance to be put together.
Hatred text messages dont solve the problem.
Telling someone you hate them over, and over again doesnt solve the problem.
Telling yourself you are over her and dont need her wont solve the problem.
Nothing will ever solve the problem,
until
she
is
gone
for
good
Until then, I guess I can be fine.
Just fine.
Lets just say its been a busy couple of months for me…
I have somewhat become addicted to sewing…. Its been a busy few months for me on the sewing machine, in the office, and at home dealing with home life.
My mother never fails to pop into my life when I least expect it, and when I welcome it the least. She has the worst timing. She manages to step into my life and stomp me further into the ground. Her drunken voice boils my blood. Her laughter makes me want to strangle her soul. Its amazing what one phone call can do to my well being. It brings me back to a damn spiral of anger and disgust. And in the moments what I wouldnt do to hurt her with all my might. But then I realize shes nothing to me. Shes been dead to me for years and I just need to let it go like a dead fly. Moments like those rotten phone calls remind me that I will never heal until she has left this earth for good.
Until then I just keep on kicking. Keep on breathing. Keep on moving.
A few weeks ago I decided to go all in and try a new product to increase my energy, motivation, and muscle mass.
I usually dont go for products, and try to do it the old fashion way. BUT. Its been too long. Ive been tired, and fatigued daily. SO. I did the jump and decided to try this new product Isagenix.
Now I know your probably thinking its another one of those diet weight loss products that dont give any results, and like throwing money down the drain. BUT let me tell you.
Its day 1. I started my morning off with an Isalean Pro shake with peanut butter, and yogurt and some morning supplements. Now let me tell you that I have the toughest time taking pills so I struggled sucking down the morning supplements but I did it. I didnt need a cup of coffee till about 9:30 am which is unusual for me considering if I dont have my first cup at 7:30 the pounding starts and does not stop. I stayed about full until 2 pm which is another amazing thing. Usually I need to eat about every 3-4 hours since my metabolism is crazy fast. Afternoon snack was a 6 inch subway sandwich. Thank goodness I was off work at 3:45, and hit the gym at 4:45 pm.
Before my workout I popped one of the Energy e+ shots and immediately had a burst of energy! My workout consisted of 25 minutes on the treadmill, and lunges, and lunge kicks with 25 pound weights, and dumbbell curls with 25 lb weights.
And THEN as I got home another burst of energy came out which is crazy! I usually never have this much energy after work. I would have to think that maybe this Isagenix is starting to work its magic. A replishment shake, and Ionix supreme powder were replacement drinks after the workout.
Dinner consisted of baked salmon, corn, and lentils with rice. Overall I would say day 1 has gone fairly smooth besides the hiccups in the morning. I definately feel that my energy levels after work were much higher than any other day.
I am trying out this product to increase my energy levels, motivation, and to try build a little mass. I am not overweight but I am ready to make some life changes.
Here are my before photos I am hoping in the 30 days I will lose the love handles, and build muscle mass 🙂

Tired of feeling exhausted? No energy? No motivation?

Its been a wild month of January for me!
2 weeks of training in Anchorage!
BUT I was able to squeeze in a fur hat, and a new bag pattern with more techniques.
It was filled with pain, and mass amounts of anger just from ONE phone call from my mother… Its amazing how one phone call can bring you back to a bad place… Brings back awful memories where you just want to punch a hole in the wall… Scream at the top of your lungs until you cant breathe… Its ridiculous… I will have to elaborate on this at a later date.
For now, here are my awesome projects!
AND I am in the process of making a fish skin bag! Heres a sneak preview!
More pictures to come!
