I meant to spent last night getting some small things done - donna troy belt, mara jade bracelets, etc. I ended up spending the entire evening cauterizing the edges of my chiffon ruffles, and I didn't even get halfway done. I really should have done it before I started sewing them on but hadn't made up my mind at that point whether I wanted to cauterize them or not.
Had a small disaster when the dye I had for my ruffles ended up not looking right. Ran out, bought some dye remover and some other colours to mix, came back and dumped all the ruffles in the remover, then redyed them. They ended up right after that but I wasted a lot of time with it. Once they were dry I cleaned them up and started attaching them... Last ...
I've been playing "Godfinger" on my phone for the past couple of days. Silly little game, but fun. Anyway - after work today I came home and cleaned the house so we wouldn't have to do it later, then we Chase got home we ran errands. Another fabric store trip (more chiffon and a zipper), the beauty store (blonde wefts that I think will work well for the Gaga wig), ...
I woke up in the middle of the night because my head was hurting. I couldn't decide if it was just one of those little headaches I tend to get at night (and go away when I get up in the morning), or the beginnings of a migraine. I went back to sleep and kept waking up with my head still hurting. I was worried about taking one of my ...
firstly, sewing updates! This is Surprise #1. I have pinned, re-pinned and re-re-pinned those ruffles so many times. I've got to make a few more, and then some smaller different shaped ones. Haven't attached the collar piece yet, it's just pinned on. once i have them all made they get thrown in the dye. So anyway, yesterday I had my doctor's appt about my migraines. My 3rd time trying to get ...
I feel like I accomplished nothing this weekend. I made a decision about one of my costumes - it's still happening, I'm just having to cut back on fabric and do it a different way, which makes me sad but if I want it to happen, thats what I have to do. So I've felt frustrated about that all weekend. I have no pics to show because I hardly did ...
last night's viewing: mst3k, Laserblast! I dug around looking for various bits and bobbles but couldn't find what I was looking for at all. :( I pulled out Surprise #1 again, got the zipper put in and the sleeves finished and on. Now! I've got previews of both Surprise #1 and Surprise #2. #1 is on the left, #2 is on the right. #2 is not staying like that, as sad as it makes me, because ...
last night's viewing: more mst3k - since chase had my computer, couldn't watch netflix. Mostly did stuff on Surprise #2 - was working on the embellishment on the front. I'm not 100% happy with it but I don't want to tear it off and re-do it in something else, so I'm just going to have to figure it out. Bought more stuff for Gaga today - namely, my wigs. Saturday I ...
last night's viewing: The rest of the Anne Boleyn segment, half of the Jane Seymour segment. I'm getting too into it; wanting to watch it instead of sew! Last night was all more work on Surprise #2 (Supergirl). I'm going to have to get spandex in a matching colour to my vinyl to finish the shoes, the vinyl won't curve around the shape. I got some of the trim cut out ...
last night's viewing: The Six Wives of Henry VIII. Finished the Katherine of Aragon part, started on Anne Boleyn's. Finished the other boot for Surprise #2 (Supergirl), and now I want to revisit the first boot because I like the way I did the second boot better. Here's an update on the bodice and skirt section - time to start on the trim:
