The Happiest Place on Earth!

And no, it ain't Disney!

Hogwarts Castle

Hubby & I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood!

We got wands from Olivander's, and tried them out on spell areas around Hogsmeade

I was pretty horrible, but Hubs did pretty well!😁
We also had some tasty treats!

And because this was a business trip, I got some pics of my Go Stitch Yourself apparel in action:

We had such a fun time geeking out!

And although that 2-hour drive is brutal, we'll definitely be be back...because annual passes!🤣

Book Haul!!

So there was this sale...

OMG!

Book Outlet seriously knows how to feed my addiction! I got all of these lovelies for a total of about $41! I know, right?!?

I saw the "Dorothy Must Die" series mentioned on Insta, and I had never heard of it! After a little poking around and reading some reviews, I decided I needed it!

And I had to make $35 for free shipping, so I snagged some Christina Henry lovelies. I haven't read her yet, but I've heard great things, so here's hoping...

Social Cues

My favorite social media platform is Instagram!

I had started with Facebook (like everyone else) but once the last presidential election mud really started slinging, I was saddened to see just how ignorant and hurtful people could be to each other in posts and comments. And since I can see that crap every day IRL, I didn't want to scroll through it too. So buh-bye FB!

My original Instagram account is @liv2knitnsew and, duh, is dedicated to my quilting and sewing pursuits (I haven't circled back around to knitting again...yet😁). The peeps are so positive and generous and are so helpful and supportive of each other, no bad vibes allowed! It's such a wonderful place, and I've "met" some people I consider friends.

Then I discovered #Bookstagram! Have you seen this?? Amazing book nerds all over the world making gorgeous pics of books, and reading and geeking out about books all freaking day! It's beyond my wildest imaginings. Of course I made an additional profile @go_book_yourself_ so I could join the fun! I love that community, they are totally my peeps!

And now I am starting a business which actually combines these 2 passions of mine. @go.stitch.yourself is where die-hard fanatics can get amazeballs clothing and items to help them "Rep Their Fandoms", whatever they may be. I'm starting with Harry Potter samples because Harry Potter!

 More to come...

Welcome, Welcome!

It's a wonderful day to start a blog, ain't it? 

Our community lake is purty!

Well, I think so! 😁

I hereby declare this is where I will celebrate all things nerdy and geeky and obsessively fandomy; my love for books and the people who live within the pages, and my undying support for hockey and my LA Kings (especially our tendy #32, Jonathan Quick 😍).

So, yeah, it'll be random stuff!  

And I will also feature fantabulous items I'm creating for my fledgling business "Go Stitch Yourself", which will be chock-full of fandom-based handmade amazingness!

Just wait and see!😉
