Dragonsies

I am a 22 year old massage therapist and I live in Montana, but I currently work as a server in a restaurant. I have three cats and two bearded dragons, and a boyfriend I've been with for over two years. I'm getting back into my interests like art, video games, and books after a long bout of depression that I'm learning to manage. I use the blog to unwind, focusing on pop culture, art, animals, video games, and comedy. I also am trying to become fluent in German after taking a 5 year break from learning it, and I'm attempting Japanese for the first time too. Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Over 25 Things You Can Add To Your Bullet Journal

This post was inspired by this article here. These additions are in no particular order. 

1.  Daily To-Do Lists: Sometimes it’s easy for busy people to forget important calls we need to make, things we need to buy, or work we need to get done. 

2. Blog Post Ideas: Personally, I have a note app in my phone for this. But I can see why it might be better to dedicate a page in my journal for such. 

3. Fitness Log: If you are anything like me (a.k.a. lazy), this could seem like a challenge to even add to your journal. In my habits log, I have a spot in my chart for physical activities. For you athletes, it’s probably best to have an entire section. (Tip: add the hours/minutes you work out, how much water you drink, and what activities you did)

4. Food Log: Keeping track of what you eat is super important. Sometimes we overeat and others we go to bed realizing we only ate breakfast. For those who want to be super-journalers, you could even add the calories/sugars/carbs to your log. 

5. Gift Lists: Whether someone’s birthday, a holiday, or special occasion is on the way, or even in the future, keeping a list of gift ideas is so smart. 

6. Grocery Lists: Personally, I do not agree with putting your grocery list in your bullet journal. My reasoning is that I am a creature of habit and I have always used a small notecard or note on my phone of the things I need to buy. Afterwards, I throw it out or delete it. But if you are someone who likes to bring a journal into the store, go for it. No judgement here. 

7. Goals: You can keep up with goals by year, month, week, and/or day. It’s nice to have a written reminder of the things we want to accomplish. 

8. Recipes and Food Prep Ideas: I’ve seen many journals that have recipes written down in them. It might even be smart to create a small folder in your journal for cut out recipes or ones you print off the Internet. 

9. Daily Affirmations: YES! Tell yourself in words how important you are, how great your life is, and that you can do anything! I would do this on the top of every new page or create a page and write one a day. 

10. Business Plans: For all of you that have your own business, this is a great idea. I have a section of my journal dedicated to my photography business. 

11. Birthdays: Keep track of all the important birthdays; parents, siblings, celebrity crushes, dogs, presidents, great-aunts, great aunts, etc. 

12. Work Hours Log: Incredibly important! When I babysat, I kept a log of which family paid me, for how many hours I was there, and with what kind of payment. 

13. Wishlists: Make a list of things you are saving up for or hope to one day be able to have. Boats, cars, food, pets, cameras, etc. 

14. Gratitude Log: It doesn’t have to be a holiday for you to be thankful for things. I have a page of people that I’m thankful for and a page for things, events, etc. that I am also thankful for. 

15. Quotes: It’s good to keep yourself inspired. Write down quotes that make you feel good, sad, smile, etc. Song lyrics count as quotes! 

16. Illustrations and Doodles: I actually have an entire other journal for doodling. It kind of looks like the Burn Book from Mean Girls, but that’s beside the point. (I can post pictures if you are curious)

17. Jokes: Ever think of a joke and scold yourself for not writing it down? I have and do constantly. You could also write down jokes that you didn’t come up with just to look back on and smile. 

18. New Discoveries/Interesting Facts: I love finding out new things. Writing down what cool things I’ve learned might actually be a good idea since I am continuously learning and sometimes forget things I just discovered. 

19. Travel Log: Did you go on vacation? Log it! Did you got to the mall? Write it down! Did you walk to the mailbox? Well…I guess you can log that too. 

20. Family and Friend’s Favorites: Make a list of things that people like. Scents, places, colors, tv shows, etc. Know the people in your life. 

21. DIY Projects: I have so many boards on Pinterest with DIY ideas. My room is like a huge DIY mess! I love it. 

22. Chore List: Remember the trash? Oh that’s right, you didn’t because you didn’t have a fancy chore list in your journal! Dedicate a page to the things you need to get done around the house. 

23. Bucketlist: I’ve seen some good pages for these. Crochet a blanket, skydive, travel across the country, go backpacking, write a book, buy a car, kill a man, drink some water, etc. 

24. Story Ideas: Sometimes I will be driving to school, watching tv, dancing, and an idea for a story will hit me. I have a page of just short synopses of stories in my journal. 

25. Period Log: People with periods, this is a great tool. I have an app and pages dedicated to my period. I keep track of my PMS Symptoms like acne and bloating, my Period Symptoms like cramps and nausea, and my Blood Flow. Sorry people without periods if this grosses you out, but guess what it’s not gross and it’s important for us to understand our period. 

26. Words That Make You Happy: Some words are fun to say and others are fun to write. Put both in your journal! You could also add words that you want to use more often. 

27. Things That Make You Happy: For example, in my journal, I have my favorite tv shows, scents that I like (freshly mowed grass), feelings I enjoy (a sunned carpet under my bare feet), or just random things that make me happy (mature oak trees with orange and yellow leaves next to a well build fence). 

28. Monthly Habits: Get to know yourself and improve yourself! Things I keep in my habit log are my hydration levels, if I blogged that day, did I work, did I study, did I spend money, did I go to the movies, etc. 

29. Story Titles: Sometimes a phrase pops into my head and I just think, “That would be a good book title.” 

30. Made Up Words: This is something I recently started doing. I was playing Scrabble and I was trying to make a word, as the game goes, and I had the letters “B-O-O-L-I-E-S.” For some reason, it made me laugh. 

[dangerous-ladies]

So on Friday I told you how to make superhero boots. (By the way, 1800 notes? Thanks!) Today I’m going to show you how to make custom thigh-highs (or socks in general.) We’ll just call it the sock weekend.

Here I’m making Tomoe Mami’s thigh-highs. (I’ve intentionally made them in brown, as I didn’t like the purple.) Do you know how hard it is to find thigh-highs in the right color, with that pinstripe? Not to mention, not everyone fits into those “one size fits most” socks; my thighs never co-operate with the things and they end up around my knees constantly. As a result I’ve taken to making my own.

You will need:

Standard sewing tools (measuring tape, scissors, pins, sewing machine.) I used a serger for much of it but it’s really not necessary at all.

Sufficient amount of a stretch fabric; the stretch will have to run around your leg at the very least. I used about 30"x45" and had plenty of scrap, so you should be safe with a yard.

Enough wide elastic to make bands that fit snugly around your thighs.

That’s really it.

Cut your fabric into rectangles, the widest enough to fit the widest point of your leg. I freehand this because you really don’t need that much of it. Put one rectangle aside and focus on the first sock. Sew up the length and across the bottom. You have essentially just made a large wine bag for your thigh.

Sexy.

Stick your foot in this Sexy Wine Bag. Start pinning it so that your wine bag clings to you more like a sock. Go down to your ankle; it’s way easier to do this in two parts. When you are pleased with the tightness, carefully take it off your leg without disturbing the pins. It’s usually necessary to make a few adjustments to the pins once you have it off, just so they’re laying flat/even. 

Sew up that fit you just made. You should end up with a sock that ends up with a club foot. (See picture. Laugh.)

Now do your foot. You may want to round it out over the toe so you don’t get little elf points. Doing the seam along the bottom of your foot is the absolute easiest, imho, because you get a better fit with less finicking, but you will also end up having the seam along the underside of your foot, which I know bothers some people. If this is weird to you, then do the seam along the side… you just might not have as good of a fit as you want without a lot of finicking if your fabric doesn’t have a lot of stretch.

Carefully take it off, adjust the pins for neatness, and sew again.

Trace this finished sock against your other Sexy Wine Bag and sew that one, too. If you’re super into it, trace the sock off on paper, too, so that you have a pattern you can reuse next time without having to do any pinning/fitting. 

YOU HAVE SOCKS NOW :) 

But these socks don’t have finished top hems, are let’s be real, are liable to fall down if they’re left all on their own. You could just fold them over and hem ‘em, but I like elastic in there for support.

Put on your socks (inside out!), make your elastic bands, and slide the bands on overtop your socks. Fold the top edge of the sock down over the elastic band and pin it in place. Go all the way around your leg –– be careful doing this, as it can be tricky to pin against the underside of your thigh when you can’t really see what you’re doing, but it’s doable. When you’ve finished pinning, take it off –– it should look a little weird, as the fabric is no longer stretched. No big deal; sew it in place, making sure you stretch the fabric out as you sew it. I like to catch the needle along the edge of the elastic just so it doesn’t roll/do weird things inside the casing. 

And then voila. You have finished socks.

Go kill Witches.
