LOL I have apparently already had 10 other posts named "Blah." This is "blah 11." I am almost done with everything. Should be finished up this weekend... in fact everything is looking good enough that I'm switching my days off around. I'd originally put down I'd be off next Thursday and Friday (even though we aren't leaving til Friday). I'd planned to have that Thursday off to finish up last minute stuff, ...
So as I've mentioned I won't be there Thursday - we aren't coming in until Friday morning, we'll probably get into town around 1 and after getting to the room, getting our badges - probably won't be "done" and ready to actually do stuff til like 3 probably. At the moment, here's what I'm definitely bringing: The Pink Thing Mon Mothma TFA Leia Medieval Leia Bespin Leia Dolores Trillian Donna - Journey's ...
I'm not off work today unlike my entire family so I'll be watching the eclipse from the parking lot at work. And I don't have any glasses or anything so I won't actually see the eclipse. I do have some welding glass but according to what I've read it's not dark enough. And I also forgot to get new breakfast stuff to bring to work with me so no breakfast ...
I have had an on and off again migraine for an entire week now. Rain keeps moving in/weather keeps shifting and it keeps making it flare up again. This is frustrating. I really don't have anything to share today. All of my progress pics are secret for the moment because they would give away what the pink thing is. I'll post them all closer to the con. Tuesday night ...
Everything is back to normal in our house. Luna is no longer in hiding. We will try again after Dragon Con. I was just exhausted yesterday and ended up with another flipping migraine. Still got a decent amount of work done on the hat. Can't show any photos tho. Sorrrrrrrry. I bought some big pearls for this project and can't find them ANYWHERE. Chase is going to help me look ...
So this weekend was...strange. Thursday I had a hair appointment after work -- to get my Mon Mothma wig trimmed! This was the before. I didn't think to take an after. He cut a lot off to thin it out! Looks much better! And also my ribbon for the white medieval dress came in: So pretty! I got some more done on the dress that night, too, but it ...
Got home from work yesterday and discovered that my fabric from Dharma for my 4th dragoncon costume had arrived! I got 10 yds of their "Essex" cotton/linen blend. It's really nice, I was really happy with it! Night before last I'd gotten all my pattern pieces out and ready so after dinner I got all the pieces cut out pretty quickly. I frankensteined two patterns together - McCall's M5155 and ...
Hi! First up is the great news that my international shipment of stuff for the Pink Thing IS IN THE US!! It went through customs yesterday!! The projected delivery date was 8/8-8/22 and 8/22 was pushing it WAY too late so I'm so relieved that it's here in the states and hopefully will start moving my way later today/tomorrow. I wouldn't have had this problem if anybody in the US ...
I've spent the past few days working on the sequin applique for the bodice. I made a pattern, then cut that out of my leftover pink satin and the sequin fabric, folded the sequin fabric over the satin and stitched it down, pressed it, and then hand-sewed it into place. Then I went around the edges with my sequin trim. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I still ...
So I had a long weekend; had friday off. Wednesday and Thursday I finished up my Bespin updates. Thankfully it ended up being easier (and quicker) than I expected. I took the trim off the tunic, opened it up at the back seam, flipped it and cut off three inches. Flipped back around, pressed it, tried it on - I had intitally been also planning to take up the side ...
