So for the past few months, Luna has decided her sleeping spot is my underbed storage container. It's soft-sided thing from ikea and I keep like my swimsuits and tights and stuff I don't need often in it, and I left it unzipped and she claimed it. She's always gone through phases of where she sleeps, she'll sleep in her cat condo for a month, then the back of the ...
Sorry for no Monday morning post yesterday. I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety the past week. Not much more I can say at the moment. Been trying to keep my nose to the grindstone and my mind on other things. So the good news is I'm officially done with SEWING on 3 out of 5 of my Dragoncon costumes. Let's recap! Tatooine Padme: First up, I finally bit the bullet ...
I've been trying to catch her in this pose and set the Huttslayer figure in front of her for ages. Finally got it. Not a lot to report on this week. The soft lavender and pale blue are making me wish I'd committed to doing only pastel costumes for dragoncon LOL Walker stayed over Friday, she watched the Eras livestream with me. THIS is what I've been dealing with the ...
Oh my gosh I have a ton to post today. So let's start at the beginning. Tuesday we took Kevin to see Inside Out 2. He did his best Mr Bean impression while wearing a tiny hat at Huey's. And then he posed with Wolvy and Deadpool. We wanted to take a group picture with this after the movie but there were people just sitting on it like a park bench, ...
Well here we are on another Monday. So here was my Padme to-do list last week, with updates: 1. Hem skirt - done! 2. Finish pleated front panel/attach - half done. I got it re-gathered and ready to go but wanted to wait til my beads arrived to make sure the two things together are sized correctly. 3. Do tacks on top - no, i am too lazy 4. Research stamp stuff for ...
Here we are again on another Monday morning. Today has been a very monday monday already. Feeling better about Padme. Got a bunch done this weekend. I think I've said about 5 times now that the top is done, but everytime I put it on, I find another place that needs tacked. It's currently sitting with about 3 pins in it for places that need to be tacked down. I also need ...
This Padme costume is about to be my 13th reason. The fabric is just SOOO thin that anytime I have to unpick something it either damages the fabric or I accidentally cut a hole in it. Trying to get everything to line up correctly and looking ok at the neckline has been the majority of my weekend. I guess let's back up. The top with the cape attached. Now with ...
I have a lot of puppy content. Let's get to it. Walker stayed with us last Monday from around 8 in the morning to about 3 the next day. My parents were out of town for a concert and she's too little to stay at doggie daycare yet like Skye did. She slept most of the day Monday and Tuesday, until I got off work Monday and then we played hard for ...
Not a ton to talk about this week. Actually I think the thing I have the most to say about is sewing progress! For the first time in a while. SO. I had gotten that fabric to use as lining for the top and the skirt. I got the skirt pieces cut out - it's basically a miniskirt - got the "lining" layer sewn to the scuba layer, got everything ...
Well I don't have as much progress to show today as I would've liked, but I did cross a big hurdle with my Padme build. But before I get into all that, let's do a puppy pic dump. Friday my parents had to go up to help my granddad with some stuff, and Skye went to doggy daycare for the day, but Walker is still too little. So she got ...
