Happy Monday :P It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I've been planning to make for our next Disney trip - just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a lot of kids there and Chase and I enjoyed looking ...
Wednesday night and last night I worked on the new shrug. Got it finished up last night: Besides being a bit smaller, I also opted to line it in the same black taffeta I used for the bodice lining, instead of two layers of the velveteen. That helped cut down on the bulk a bit. I also interfaced the collar this time. I ran to Hobby Lobby yesterday afternoon and ...
After curling and recurling the side ponys like 12 times I finally settled on some curls I like. They still stick out a little too far, and I messed one of them up (cut the elastic off by mistake, ugh), but I think at this point I'm sticking with them. And I finished remaking my shawl but I have no photos. Why? Because I'm still not happy with it. It's not ...
ugh! it's monday again. Starting to feel sad about not being at DragonCon Thurs-Fri. (Not really so much Sunday because usually by Sunday I'm ready to go home LOL) I think it's because I've been looking back at old pictures a lot recently and feeling nostalgic for "old" DragonCon. I've been wanting to do another "look back" post... I might do that after this one. I was off work early ...
On Friday, I got a new dishwasher I had a major panic attack at the dr, didn't get to have my checkup, got sent away in a wheelchair with a prescription for xanax On Saturday, I had to buy two new tires for the Fit I celebrated not one but TWO 65th wedding anniversaries Went to a Harry Potter party On Sunday, I got a new laptop! I had a ...
I have 3 topics today. 1. The Flipping Dishwasher Chase and I have been without a dishwasher for over a year. It gave out last year... Chase tried to fix it but it was shot. (It was pretty old. Came with the house.) We FINALLY went shopping for a new one 2 weeks ago, picked one out at Home Depot - I talked about a few days ago. Mom offered to sit at ...
We had a nice weekend, spent Friday evening-Sunday morning at my grandparents. I also FINALLY got Snapchat to work with an animal face: A few weeks ago Mema was ironing and ran outside for something or another... the cat knocked the iron over onto the floor and caused a lovely burn mark. They are having to get new tile put in but I'm glad I captured Catty Bob's attempt at ...
Wednesday night, I focused on getting the sleeve mock-up finished up: Pretty happy with the shape. Somewhere I have a bag of tulle I want to stuff them with but I didn't have the energy to look for it. I also got the trim along the neckline quickly sewn on, though last night I went back and tightened it up a little. Chase helped me get my stencil cut out ...
I was going to work on the shawl last night but I didn't feel like it... instead I dug out some leftover pink lining to start looking at a mock-up for the sleeves. Beyond cutting them out and pinning them I didn't really do much more than that. I trimmed up the shape of the second one, but of course that's not the one I took photos of. Tonight I'll ...
My little weirdo snuck in my office the other night and was in fur heaven. I had to kick her out when she started trying to eat it, though. I didn't get to do a ton of sewing this weekend. Saturday was move day for my grandma. After my Pawpaw passed last year, we got her into an assisted living place, but it was all very fast. A few weeks ...
