Its been a busy few months :)
Cats in the Hats where do I begin!
Its been a busy busy few months since I last blogged! But I have been a crafting fool!
Its been bags, bags, and more bags. I have been the crazy bag lady and it has been FUN! Some of these have been spoken for but some are ready to go to new homes!
Its been a busy December
Lets just say it was a busy busy December with sewing, sewing and more sewing!
Because homemade gifts are the best it was a busy sewing month. Frozen quilts. Christmas qaspeq vests. And just call me the crazy bag lady it was a busy month of bag making.
I have decided to move forward and start my own sewing business. Coming up with the business name was tough but I nailed it down to Sew Yup’ik.
Lets just say its been a busy month. With the new year approaching I am so thankful for my amazing supportive family and my obsessive personality to never sit down and rest and to always keep busy.Â
May your new year bring on happiness, good cheer, and all smiles!
Holy HUT damn.
Lets just holy, frigging canolly.
Lets just say I was a sewing mean machine and no one was getting in my way.
You ready…
This was one weekend of some serious sewing! I joined a sewing guild here in my hometown and I think it has released a beast in me! But I love it!
I cant wait to whip out more things! The owl heating pads are going to make great gifts, and those owl organizers are great for sewers!
BUT!
How the heck can one get excited for Christmas when its 40 degrees and raining?! UGH! Small world problems, I guess I should just be grateful, right….
Anyways! Enjoy! Its November 13th and we are nearing to a new year, a new leaf, and a new sewing machine maybe! 🙂
Happy Thirsty Thursday for those of YOU that celebrate 😉
Healthy start to Movember
November is off to a great start!
Halloween was a hit! We had a great halloween gathering with our friends and it was ahhhhmazing!
We had costume winners! We had scary treats! Bobbing for beer! Nothing better than to start November off to a BANG!
Had to whip out this quick qaspeq vest for a welcome to Bethel gift. But it didnt fit so its up for grabs its about a size small for $65.
Im trying this whole meal planning and hopefull it will kick me off to a great start. SO far so good, although it might be TOO much food. who would have thunk that.
Lunch:
I roasted all the vegetables at 425 degrees with a little bit of oil, salt and pepper.
Asparagus, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower.
I cooked up some brown rice in the rice cooker and put a cup in each dish.
For the chicken I cooked them on stovetop and seasoned with cumin, paprika, garlic salt, and pepper. They are delicious!
And of course hard boiled eggs for a snack here and there, great protein!
These breakfast burritos are very hearty and filling! Probably should have kept them light.
Breakfast burritos:
Eggs
Potatoes
Peppers
Spinach
Chesee
Voila!
Let them freeze and then wrap then in foil. When you are ready to heat up wrap in a wet paper towel for about 2 minutes.
Of course I had to add some humor to my scary meatloaf fellows. 🙂
I was googling couples costumes and found this great idea to be crown and coke! These took me about an hour and they turned out awesome! I cant wait to start brewing up ideas for next year!
Here are the few decorations we decided to put up last minute. We scared many kids and adults and had children crying even before getting to the door. We were also blasting scary music in the entryway which freaked me out a little.
Happy Halloween!
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!
October, its not over yet…
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!
October= Sew busy
October is half way thru and I feel like a sewing machine! I love the holidays and making stuff for the kids so I whipped out a ton of halloween trick or treat bags, and some table runners for those festive mamas.

A whirlwind of business…
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…Â
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.
