Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

These are the things I am thinking of buying myself over the next couple of months. I am a part of the LGBT so the yearning and daydreaming about crafting gardening and sewing is a part of the experience. 

Montreal Melon seeds:
I live* in Canada and I have a seed shop I like to order from every year or other year. On my growing list is a certain millet grain, some buckwheat, two types of rice and maybe some indigo seeds to dye cloth with. But the TOP of my list is Montreal Melon. (And cut flower seeds.) You can check out what it is from this CBC article. 

I like you Sensei:
I plan to purchase this fujoshi comic and fandom game that came out last year. When I do, GOODBYE FREE TIME. I will become addicted. That's why I never bought it.

Cotton Fabric:
I'm so low of cotton fabric to make pajamas. I might patchwork pieces together but I'd like some cute material to make some going out dresses.

White or sky blue long or short sleeve button ups:
To go with the dresses and outfits I already have. I only have denim at the moment.

Round knitting needles for socks and yarn:
I'm working on thrifting these or doing trades for them, but I am making socks for myself this year.

Stepladder:
So I can change my decor wall and ceiling out seasonally.

Bra making pattern and supplies:
2026 is me just being me when I'm not around people and that means wearing a bra and having boobs. My boobs are big. I have to make my own bras. I'm a 32 G/H size. And I know where to buy fitted bras, I want to make them this year. I have been putting it off due to being part of a bad friend group that acted like me dressing up was for male attention and validation. It wasn't. Those guys don't wash their junk and I respect myself too much

Not a priority but on my personal 2026 shopping list because ya, this list is NOT serious. I'm not expecting to buy everything on the bullet point but it's part of the whimsy and fantasy. 

• Pink towels with pink flowers and plants (on my spring shopping list)
• Stand mixer to make milk bread
• Ice cream or ice cream maker
  
• Mini-freezer, for frozen spinach, smoothies and ice cream
• Canning machine to make honmei jam
• Glass containers for meal prep

Those melon seeds look really neat. Thanks for telling us about them!

The sewing/knitting projects for different clothing sound interesting! I wish you good luck with them 😊

I also want something to do canning with, but I probably should actually learn how to can in general first 😅 Maybe this year is the year!

I have a friend who got into sewing her own clothes and she has a similar problem with clothes (and commercial patterns) not fitting her bust. She's thinking of making a corset or a torsolette, kind of like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qoor5f82Ghg

The video series that she is rewatching for tips, by The Closet Historian:

Good luck with the sewing!
