It's dcon time. Well almost. Uuuuugh I still have to get through a day and a half of work. I just wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seeing everybody already on the road or already there is driving me crazy. I've got everything packed and ready to go, except the headdress since I'm still hand-sewing on it... I've got a space left for it in my duffel bag. I've got it down to: The 1 ...
Finished up a few things last night. Got it all packed up. Still working on Lucy's headdress -- but I think that's about it at this point. I've got to finish the handsewing on that and it's taking forever and making my fingers ache. Everything is packed except for that lower part of the headdress (that I'm still sewing on), and my regular clothes: I've got everything in this one ...
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 ...
Ugh... so over a year ago -- almost two years ago now -- I voluntarily changed my work schedule so I could be home earlier in the day but it meant getting up earlier. It was hard at first to get up an hour earlier than I normally did, but I figured I'd adjust. I have never adjusted. Every morning is like death. But I won't go back, I like ...
This is also some non-Sunday stuff, but it's mostly Sunday. I spent the morning being lazy because I was so tired (and sore) from Saturday. Chase actually got out and did some yard work. Then we went and had lunch, picked up stuff for dinner, ran some of dad's equipment out to him (we loaded up in both our cars the night before). Then I came to do the 3rd ...
Yes it's a huge art dump. Well huge by today's standards, not so much by like... me circa 2001 standards. First up is a Amidala picture I've been working on for a while... I got bored after I finished the face so I'd do just a little bit each day because I didn't really feel like doing the rest LOL but I pushed through and it's finally done. It's a re-do ...
I mentioned this in yesterday's post, but that post was so long I didn't want to jam this in there too... besides I wanted to get some pics of them on to add to it, also. So, timeline - From 2004-2015 I used the same brunette extensions that matched my 2004 but hasn't matched since 2011 when I went lighter for Donna. I FINALLY updated to red extensions that matched in 2015. And ...
So, I finished Yoke #3 and it's all right. It's not greeeeeat but it'll do. It's not like I could try again, there's no fabric left! After that photo I did take the collar off and inset it into the yoke so there's no ugly seam sticking out between them. This resulted in a kinda ugly stitch line where it's sewn on, but it's a trade-off. So since that was finally ...
