Embroidered Cotton Italian Gown
Embroidered Cotton Italian Gown
Yo waddup, my peasants? It’s ur gurl back with another post, are you surprised?
So with the world coming back to life this year, I needed to further up my wardrobe game! This summer, I had quite a few gigs in the summer which meant standing outside in the heat or in a historic building without air conditioning, so to keep myself from melting while looking fab, I knew I had to make a cute AF…

Dionysus Made Me Do It
Dionysus Made Me Do It
Yo waddup, my peasants? It’s ur gurl successfully recovered from a wild Halloween and inspired to actually blog!
So I’m sorry I haven’t really updated the blog in a while, I just haven’t really had the time to do it… Nor have I really had the desire to which I feel bad for saying. It’s not like I haven’t made anything nice this year to blog about, I’ve made this beautiful white cotton gown…

OMG We got to Perform!!!
OMG We got to Perform!!!
Yo waddup, my peasants? It’s ur gurl trying her best to survive 2020!
In the hot mess that is 2020, things have been surprisingly busy for me in spite of a severe lack of performances… It’s mostly been wrangling a mischievous cockatoo determined to hide under the bed and hiss at me like the little gremlin she is.
In addition to birb wrangling, I’ve been sewing like a maniac making things…

Becky Franks Has a Plan
Yo waddup, my peasants? It’s ur gurl rediscovering her love of science and chemistry without all the trouble of balancing equations because screw that I don’t do math.
So, for some ungodly reason, I’ve gotten into historical food and baking. Don’t ask my how, don’t ask my why, it was merely a whim and now I’m totally into it. I’m not really much into the whole hearth cooking thing, that seems…

it really disappoints me that jkr didn’t bring back the ford anglia in any of the books after chamber of secrets. like how great would it have been if, in deathly hallows, when harry is in the forbidden forest, ready to die, the car just comes speeding through, plowing down voldemort and all the death eaters…just imagine that
