Going back through some of my oldest posts about costumes I want to do and I found some hilarious ideas and notes and thoughts. I am going to comment on some of these. Here's some costume ideas I wrote down back in 1998... I underlined the parts I find funny.
Costume Idea #1. Chun-Li. So it’s been done to death. But I’VE never done it. And it would be ...I like typing in a subject for my post, waiting on the permalink to create the link with that subject... and seeing how many times I've used that subject before. I've apparently had 9 other posts also titled "blah" because this is "blah-10". Today is very blah. Work is stressing me out. I just want to go to Disney already! I was really hoping to be mostly done with the cape ...
new magic bands! I'm Jyn, Chase is Cassian, Kevin is K2SO. I may wear this new one instead of my Haunted Mansion band... my Haunted Mansion band will always kinda be my "AP Year" magic band. Speaking of which, our APs officially expire tomorrow. Anyway, Kevin got to open the box with me, he's excited! This is our first time getting the new packaging/bands, so that was exciting. ...
I finished my pants last night!!! Like I said last time I'd done the mock-up Saturday so I had a good idea of what I was doing, got the pieces cut out that night but then spent all day Sunday on the tunic. So when I got home from work yesterday I jumped into the pants... haha, jumped into the pants. I used Simplicity 1165 which was really straight-forward and the ...
So let's see where did I leave off? Friday after work I went and got Kevin (he's staying with us for about 2 weeks) and we went down to midtown to see dad's St Patrick's band play! After that went home and I worked on a mock-up for my collar but realized I really needed some plain cotton to get it right and didn't really have anything. So trip to Hobby ...
So I got home yesterday and instead of jumping into the last little bit of embroidery I needed to do, I decided I was mentally ready to dye my shoes and lining. Shoes were first and took to the dye beautifully: After they sat and dried for a while, I put them back in again during round 3 of dyeing the lining and got them a little bit darker: They could ...
Last night I got alllllllmost done with the big spires. I could've stayed up another half hour and finished the last one but I was tired, so I'll finish it tonight. Then I have that one little yellow bit to finish, and then I have to figure out the shadow Xs in the upper spires -- I didn't trace them in because they were so small and fiddly, so I ...
I had Friday off so I worked solid Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Didn't go anywhere. Just stopped to eat, sleep, bathe, find new thing to watch/listen to. The stupid weather being crazy made me have a migraine the ENTIRE TIME and it's still on-going today. I'm ready to rip my head off. I'm so so so sick of embroidering. On Sunday every time Chase would come into the room ...
...and hopefully it's not a train. I worked pretty much non-stop on Bespin all weekend. From the time I got home Friday through around 10:30 last night. Stopped Saturday to run to the bookstore and dinner with my parents. And for a couple of naps. Again not a great photo of it, the lighting in our bedroom is awful and yellow and I didn't bother to straighten it out very well, ...
I'm breaking this up into sections so I don't forget everything I need to talk about because my brain is fried. 1. Art I've done a few more in my little Star Wars project since last week. Here's Kylo Ren: whatever Here's Lando: meh not happy with how his clothes turned out. Heres Ahsoka: Pretty happy with her! I started out with a much different sketch - more of a static, ...
