Hacking my sleep when so much keeps us awake.

March 27, 2020 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

What do you wear when it's time to take the train into Tokyo to sign a work contract and you know that Japan is not socially distancing? I've made many styles of mask but by now there are 20 times the online tutorials that there were towards the end of February when I first made … Continue reading Hacking my sleep when so much keeps us awake.

ADHD: PeeWee and Mari

March 9, 2020March 9, 2020 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

My friends know this: my love of Mari Kondo (known here as KonMari) the writer of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying-Up, is deep and unshakable. Many of my friends have also known this: if I am hyper-focused on organizing to the detriment of other aspects of my life it might be a sign of my … Continue reading ADHD: PeeWee and Mari

My apartment is spacious and cheap. It's why I refuse to move. It's also damned hot in summer. When I first moved here 8 years ago I tried to go a while without an air conditioner. By early September I was googling the signs of heat stroke daily and bought an air conditioner for my … Continue reading A space for my craft.

It's been a month since my last post. A dooooozy of a month...but not as bad as last year.

My birthday gift to myself was shelves. I needed them. I've lived in this apartment for 8+ years and will never see my security deposit again so why not live how I need to live. The room was messy because this was 5 days into the new job (6am wakeup schedule) and I'd managed to … Continue reading My gift to me.

Coffee Nook/Doll Trunk half.

Let's see if I can use my craft backlog of undocumented work to create...dare I say it...multiple entries based on a theme? Welcome to the rabbit hole of Doll Trunks I've fallen into. Alice was my first entry into the idea. The two entries for the construction of Alice's doll trunk are: Part 1 Part … Continue reading Coffee Nook/Doll Trunk half.

I am Alice.

Brain: You leave for America on the 16th and you only have one full day off between then and now.  However will you do all the things you need to do? Also Brain: Why don't you redecorate your toilet room? So I did. Wednesday is usually a day off for me but today I substitute … Continue reading I am Alice.
