    Mara art

    to start today’s post on a happier, non-bitchy note, today we have Mara Jade. And also, I love Clif bars. So last week of March (the 26th) found out I had to have another iron infusion, right? Nurse said she’d call back that monday the 29th to schedule it. She didn’t, we put in a call, no call back. So…

    Leia Ewok art

    Weird day. My computer went down with a virus this morning, so I left it home running antivirus stuff… Chase got home and fixed it for me, everything seems to be good now. But it’s always weird not to have my computer at work, plus Kevin had today off so it was really quiet in the office. I worked a…

    exhausted

    I didn’t post yesterday at all! I was just exhausted yesterday, mentally and physically. It was a push to get myself to sew last night… I feel like I’m beating my head against the wall with these costumes and it’s just so tiring and depressing. so here’s a sketch… I have no idea. I know I drew it in the…

    Happy Easter!

    I forgot my sketch post yesterday 🙁 I spent most of yesterday sewing. I finally got the skirt hemmed. It’s not perfect but it’ll do. Now I’m having zipper issues, I’ll have to wait and tackle that again this afternoon. But I got my lace sewn onto the edge, and one spat made, and I made the back swoop-y piece,…

    The girls came over last night and we watched Rifftrax New Moon. It was hilarious! Today is Leia… her proportions are a little off but I like it anyway. Tomorrow night we’re doing a promo at the Memphis Grizzlies game for Star Wars in Concert. I’m really excited about it 🙂

    Jane progress

    I do have a finished piece for tomorrow… I almost finished it tonight but ran out of time. I need to draw a few simpler things – these Amidala ones take too long! Anyway today’s sketch… Poison Ivy It doesn’t come across in the scan… but there was a delicate-ness to this sketch that I really liked. I stopped working…

    yuck yuck yuck

    today was pretty icky. My migraine was still hanging in there, but my nausea was off the charts and I almost went home after lunch. But I hung in there… got home and took a little nap. Then Chase took a face cast of me for my Ms Marvel mask, which actually felt really good on my headache LOL and…

    MidSouthCon 2010 found pics!

    Went out with the girls last night – got home around 2am-ish. But even before that I felt a migraine coming on. I did everything I could to divert again but no luck, around 4am it kicked into high gear. Blah… and here I’d gone nearly 5 weeks without one. today’s sketch is Rogue. I don’t know when I did…

    More Jane progress, kitchen updates

    I got a lot of sewing done last night, enough to make me feel like I accomplished something. I got Jane’s top done, except for the little belt piece. Got the zipper put back in, the collar finished, and the sleeves finished. I’ve got to make the separate little piece for the collar now, and like I said, put the…

    Obsolete jobs, netflix, etc

    This is a neat article about obsolete jobs, relinking from Ash. One of the things that stands out to me is that we had a milkman/milk delivery when I was a kid. The article says only 7% of homes had milk delivery by 1975. I think we stopped getting it around 86 or 87? It’s a weird little leftover sort…

    I got my Jane pith helmet!

    I got my pith helmet yesterday 🙂 It’s a little too big, I mean it fits my head fine but the silhouette is a little big, but it’ll have to do for now. I’m only 3 weeks out! Gotta get it finished! I added this to my costume progress page.

    MidSouthCon 2010 pics

    Our pics are here. There’s not a lot – I spent most of my time at the con either in the dealer’s room or in panels 🙂 I got my helmet for my Jane costume today, too. It’s a little too big, but it’ll do for now.
