totchipandaA very relaxing weekend if I do say so myself :D
Friday I had a very delicious but wheaty bun with my lunch (it was free) and after the cheese buns all week and cupcakes and other wheaty items through the week, my tummy was BIG MAD. I ended up not having a proper dinner at all, I was so uncomfortable. Saturday I had a granola bar and a GF sandwich and nachos through the day, so that was good. Yesterday was granola bar, GF grilled cheese, and parmesan roasted potatoes. And the wheaty graham cracker crumbs on the bottom of the cheesecake I baked.
Yes, I made a cheesecake. I haven't made one in literally 20 years. I bought 2 packs of cream cheese, which was not nearly enough for a 9" pan, but I had it and I wanted to use it, so there we go. I will definitely do it again, it is very yummy! I did not use a water bath and only had a couple of cracks and browning on the edges. I was inspired by "cheesecake gate" on Threads, where someone ordered a cheesecake from a home baker that had been recommended on their newly-local neighbourhood Facebook group and it was really expensive for what they got. It went viral and it was a really fun weekend of cheesecake everything.
Sewing wise, I put the bra together as much as I could without having any elastic. I will have to get it done up fully to assess fit, but just holding it up, Lefty is busting out lol. It's a soft fabric bra, cut on the bias, so not intended for heavy use. We'll see.
Yesterday I cut out K's dress at LONG last, I bought the fabric at the end of February. I even made myself clean off the table (by tossing what was on it somewhat neatly into the pantry closet, which was useless because the cats got into a LOT of trouble trying to climb it) because the skirt pieces are so gigantic. And I am now very sad because I need to order more fabric. My scaled layout was very tight and I did not account for needing to adjust if the width was less than 44". I got everything cut out except for sleeves. The shop is local to me at least, and they only have a couple yards left. Honestly considering just getting the whole lot. I'll use a little over a yard for sleeves, and the rest would be for me.
Towards the end I was getting hangry which is when I had the granola bar (because my bread was frozen and too little was left to force apart, I would have had chunks and I really wanted a grilled cheese). Then I HAD to make the cheesecake because the dairy components had been sitting out for a couple of hours already. Finally got to rot with the cats and never went back to sewing.
Not gonna lie, part of it was because I need to change the serger thread.
Also put a couple threads into the cross stitch. I added a different colour which was more exciting than the near-black I've been working on, and hit the top right corner. Very exciting to see that right angle lol.
