A couple of weeks ago we got some new hardware from Comcast/xfinity - the box it all came in turned out to be Luna's favourite thing. I put some towels down in it and she just hangs out in it sometimes. I went home for lunch yesterday and she was sleeping in it when I walked in. All the cat houses, cat beds and toys we get her and ...
I think it's starting to look like something. I got the skirt panels sewn together last night -- nothing fancy there. Just pinned them onto the form over my petticoat to see what they were looking like. It's too long but I cut it extra long so I'd have plenty to work with. I'm thinking I maaay have to make either a secondary skirt or a full on petticoat... the ...
I've had a cold since I got back from Disney, and on top of that had a migraine come on Saturday... ugh! Despite that I actually got some sewing done over the weekend! Saturday I got over to Joann's, hoping to find fabric for the bodice of my Dragon Con costume, and failing that, I figured I'd get the white satin I needed for the skirt. Well I ended up ...
I'm really very happy with how the photos turned out! My aunt had one huge candle holder that would have been great... if it didn't weigh like 20 lbs! I couldn't it up. But the ones I could pick up looked nice too. This next picture is not my favourite - the flash didn't go off correctly - but it's the best pic for showing my makeup and some of the ...
So for the past couple of weeks we've been planning on going down to Beale Street June 24th. Chase needed to get some footage for the movie he is working on, and it was Kevin's birthday so we thought we'd all go and eat at Dyer's that night. Friday while I was home for lunch, I discovered on twitter that that night happened to be the Zombie Walk on Beale! ...
Sorry I haven't posted in (checks) 10 days! My website's server has been up and down... looks like it's finally stable again now. Plus I haven't really had much to post; haven't sewn much in the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping to finish cleaning up my sewing room this weekend and get back to work. So let's see, what has happened since I last posted... I decided on my one Dragon Con ...
I sewed a little over the weekend, but not a lot. I got the design for the front panel of my Arianna dress finished and uploaded to spoonflower... but then couldn't find my spoonflower sample book. I'm pretty sure I want to do the Cotton Sateen, but I really wanted to feel the material first. Stupid sample book has been in my desk drawer for over a year, and now ...
Last night Chase helped me boil a ton of water and put it in a bin (because I don't have a pot big enough to properly do the stove top method) so I could dye all of my fabric. The dye took pretty quick. I did leave it in for about 30 minutes, but there wasn't anymore colour change between 5 minutes and 30 minutes. Chase hung a line up on the back ...
So back to the saga of my Rapunzel's mom costume (ok I Just googled it and apparently the king and queen finally have names thanks to the upcoming cartoon series? King Frederic and Queen Arianna. Thank goodness, that's so much easier to say than "my Rapunzel's mom costume.") Friday night I went and dug out the pattern I wanted to use for it, to see if the scrap of fabric ...
I've finished my Disneybound Leia costume and have added it to my portfolio!
