So I posted a silly video on my tiktok yesterday about why I don't do commissions and I used Bespin Leia as an example of an incredibly in-depth costume project that I'd NEVER EVER do on commission - I mean, I'm not gonna do anything on commission but in particular THAT ONE - mostly because 95% of people who ask about something like that don't understand how much it would cost ...
I guess this means I'm entering year 25 of blogging. I started when I was 18, before the word "blogging" was even around. i called it "free talk" at the beginning. Anyway not much to post this week - again - except birthday stuff. Didn't do much on my birthday. Chase had his dates off and thought my birthday wasn't til the weekend so I just waited to see how long he ...
This morning was the first time my feet HAVEN'T hurt going up and down the stairs in our house, and I've regained feeling in the little toe on my left foot. Unexplained bruise, scrape on my ankle, and spots of eyeliner i still can't get off are still hanging around, along with a non-stop migraine I've had since before dragoncon. Anyway, this will not be my recap post -- I'll ...
Despite that title, I'm starting with art today just because I have a bunch to untangle from last week. Including a HOUSE INTRUDER, a LOT OF SEWING, some MOVIES, and DOG-SITTING! Since last post I've only focused on knocking out Clone Wars stuff. Here's what I kept calling "Loyalist Committee Lite" I totally just used the skirt embellishment from my own Loyalist Committee art, I did NOT feel like drawing ...
I've been down with a migraine since tuesday... which especially sucks because I'm working overtime this week so I can be off friday so my work days are extra long. I basically come home from work, eat, have a bath, and go to bed at like 9 because I'm so tired from the migraine. Hopefully it goes away today. Tuesday we got more snow. More snow than ice this time! While ...
It's that time of the year again... time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn't get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did I?! Not really. I redid the wig, twice - once for Visioncon, and ...
This weekend was nuts. But let's ease into it with a picture of Luna. Friday was a normal Friday at work, just steadily busy, until around 2 it was like the world went mad and like 10 hectic problems developed at once. And I had to leave on time because I was on a tight schedule. I ended up leaving about 5 minutes late, not terrible. Headed on out to pick up Kevin... ...
Uggggggggh I'm back at work today and feel like a zombie. Came back to a TON of stuff too so double Uggggggggh. BUT! It's time for this year's Dragon Con recap. So Chase had originally planned to be doing a scooter trip that weekend, so we were both going to be out of town - but Hurricane Harvey put a stop to his trip, so he stayed home all weekend. ...
Didn't get a whole lot done last night. Well maybe kinda. Finished painting my shoes, got the lowest ruffle sewn on. Got the sequins sewn onto the straps and got the first line of sequins sewn across the top of the bodice. Had to handsew those so it took a little longer - I have to do one more line of them tonight. Also finish hand-sewing the top ruffle, and ...
