OMG I am so tired.
Friday I stopped and got more pink thread on my way home, and Friday night I finished sewing the sequins onto all my ruffles.
Saturday we had errands to run and Ash came with us down to Joann. I found new TFA Leia underdress fabric. Then we went next door to Toys R Us and I found the Endor Leia Forces of Destiny Doll! OMG.
I saw photos of this doll last week and told Chase I wanted it. They also had the Hoth doll but I really wanted the Wicket. I’d love to collect all of these.
When we got home I found my fabric sample from dharma trading I’d ordered had shown up – for my TFA Blue Dress Leia underdress that I’d just bought fabric for. I think I like the fabric sample from dharma better :\ haven’t made up my mind yet.
Then I had a long nap and swung into sewing. Stayed up late that night and alllllllmost got all the ruffles on. I ended up having to make one more ruffle, and shorten and rehem the underskirt.
After trying it on is when I decided I needed one more lower ruffle.
YAS.
It was a pain the BUTT trying to sew all these ruffles on. The uppermost one I’m having to hand-sew – it’s too close to the boning channels of my bodice. I got it halfway sewn on Saturday night and planned to finish that, and sew the new lower-most ruffle on, on Sunday, but plans got changed.
Sunday morning I got up and painted my shoes:
Still need to give them one more coat and get the ends of the straps!
Then we went over to Nana’s for Mema and Daddy Bob’s anniversary lunch, and ran some errands – I realized Saturday night I was down to my last sewing machine needle.
I had plans to finish up the ruffles Sunday night, etc. Then around 4 a storm blew in… and one thunder crash sounded like something blew up in our backyard. Knocked our power out. We have a transformer right behind our house but it looked ok. So I dunno if it did hit something or what.
So we ran out in the pouring rain. Went to Barnes and Noble for a bit. Then to dinner with the parents. Went back home and power was still out, so we just turned right back around and went out to my parents to watch Game of Thrones. When we got home from that, power was back on, yay!
Around 3AM I woke up and realized the AC unit did not sound right. I told Chase. We got flashlights and went outside, and the line was frozen up. We were outside for an hour while Chase took it apart, cleaned it out, replaced the foam covering over the line (thankfully we have random stuff like that sitting around…).
We left the AC off to make sure everything was unfrozen. Took a while to get back to sleep. So when my alarm went off at 630… that sucked. So I’m dragging today. And I work longer hours today… ugh.
So if I don’t get anything done tonight… that’s why!
