Well here it is, Monday again. 3 weeks and some change until Dragoncon. In the realm of things that are annoying me currently -- I realized about 2 weeks ago that I only put in for Thurs & Friday of dragoncon to be off, somehow I missed the Wednesday. Not a big deal, I went in and added it... but still has yet to be approved. I'm going to give it a ...
that's me today. everything is annoying. I got my replacement Dragoncon badge - found someone selling theirs on ebay. Now I have all 20. After this year I'm going to look at getting them all framed with my carpet piece. You ever make something and think "this is trash" and then 20 minutes later you're like "this is amazing" and then 20 minutes later back to trash? That's me with this thing. I ...
Today is starting off great with multiple problems at work after a relatively quiet (aka no problems) couple of weeks. Why do things come in waves like this? Anyway, I won the Lucky Seat lotto to buy cheap tickets for My Fair Lady at the Orpheum. Mom and I are going and I'm mostly excited but also mostly anxious because last time I had to drive downtown it was an ...
A little less than a month and a half to go before Dragoncon. I'm feeling the pinch. I also really need to figure out what I'm taking besides the new stuff. Ugggggggh Most of my progress this past week was on Padme but it's not a lot to show. I got the panel for the beading and embroidery made. Gargoyle Used the silhouette pen attachment to draw my beading/embroidery ...
Sorry about last week's post. I think I got distracted before setting up a photo header and forgot to go back to it... I remember at one point going thru and closing tabs and seeing my wordpress edit area was still up and thinking that's weird... but surely I already published it. Thankfully it was saved in drafts so I was able to go in on my phone saturday, add ...
7/9/22 - APPARENTLY I forgot to hit publish on this on Tuesday. Oops. Well here it is now. I backdated it to the date it was written. yall I am tired. Last week was spent getting the house ready for company. We got the backyard cleaned up, lights put up and ready to go. Friday Chase's sister and family arrived. We went out for pizza that night. Saturday they went down ...
hello i am here to ramble about dragoncon costume plans because this is what I do when I am anxious. It's now officially July and I have no idea what costumes I'm taking to dragoncon besides the 2 I'm working on. I've just been so tired since disney and so out of sorts since last year I just feel tired when I try to think about it. I've thought about a ...
Today I'm starting out with the non-sewing stuff. Friday was Kevin's birthday! He had just gotten back from his summer camp that day and his mom invited us over for spaghetti (his fav) and cake. Saturday night we took Kevin out for dinner at Celtic Crossing and to see a showing of 1984 Dune at the Pink Palace imax. They had a display of art and props from the movie: Then ...
So where I left off with Jessica last week was I was pretty close to get it finished. I had to tweak that sleeve pattern once more. But as I kept working on it I was really unhappy with it. The darts I'd had to add just looked awful, the sleeve openings were too low and droopy looking and everytime I tried to press the darts it just seemed to ...
Hey I actually got a good amount of stuff done this past week. I finished hemming the Jessica veils, and then I got the dress pieces cut: It's been kinda hard this past week to show any progress of this on IG, because I'm trying to avoid putting pins in it so I never had the panels pinned together until I went to actually sew them together. She's beauty, she's ...
