Tips for Getting Published in a Pinup Magazine

January 10, 2022December 9, 2021Leave a comment

The word 'pinup' came about from war times where those who were sent away for the war effort, pinned up photographs and posters of their wives, girlfriends and popular celebrities of the time on their walls. Such posters were popular and the girls depicted in them soon became known as 'pin up girls'. The relationship … Continue reading Tips for Getting Published in a Pinup Magazine

It's been raining a lot over here and I have to admit I adore this weather. I love watching the rain and I find it ever so calming; no matter show stressed I am, the rain allows me to take a deep breath and destress.
I really miss sewing so I thought I'd share a dress I made back in May which was #butterick6318 using a gorgeous vintage print cotton from @fabricdotcom
I'm still struggling health wise and I think this is my 5th or 6th week on bed rest. I'm exhausted all the time, pretty lonely and feeling flat but I'm starting to plan projects and ideas for the future.
Today was a good day; I felt well enough to do a little sewing and although I didn't quite get around to tidying uo, I certainly got my appetite back! It's the little wins right? What was one of your little wins for the week?
For all the socially anxious out there, I hope you all relate 🤣🤣
It's been a slow week, I need to remember to take it easy but I'm starting to feel more active and slowly become more social. Im starting to feel better but i definitely get tired easily and need to rest more. But today I thought about sewing again and started planning a few projects.
I think I've been asleep for an entire week but I'm sure next week I will be able to function a little more. I have so much work to catch up on and sewing to do! So many unfinished projects just waiting for me.
I've been told to rest up for another month and it's slowly driving me mad that I can't sew or work. It's getting to the point where I'm just oversharing as soon as a friend calls.
The past two weeks have been a big challenge for me, my body threw a tantrum and tried to give up on me and I've been recovering ever since. I cannot walk through my house without being out if breath, the migraines and pain are constant and to say I'm exhausted would be an understatement. I haven't had the strength to be online or to create content. I can't work or even sew, instead I've been reading. It's a calming escape to hide behind the characters of a book and go on huge adventures, it's almost like an addiction the want to escape. I'm hoping that next week I'll be a bit more active. Thank you for all the messages of love and support, I'm overwhelmed by all the love and as soon as I can look at a screen, I'll respond to as many as I can. Just know I miss you all 💙💙
I have an irrational fear of plugging in a vintage electronic and zapping myself across the room. It's never happened but one day ...
