Well, the good news - Indy got a check up and she is 100% fine. I'm so relieved. What a massive stress off of me. I guess it was the perfect storm of her schedule being off, new food, stealing cat food, and Chase and I being closed up in our individual work rooms (which we don't usually do, but needed to keep the kitten out). Anyway, yesterday I finished altering ...
Yesterday got home and did some little things - ironed Peggy again, put the insoles in my Anne shoes, fix the hook and eye on my corset, put the hand loop on my Anne skirt, finished altering my Peggy shirt, etc. Got started on the "bark" of my Johanna shirt. Which basically means I stood there with my arm out while Chase glued stuff to me. And no it's not ...
Indy's been sick all weekend. Drinking a lot of water and peeing way more than usual. She's had several accidents, just since late last week. At first thought she was just off her "schedule" after she got sick to her stomach weekend before last, because that's happened several times before - but now not sure. Hoping it's just a bladder infection of some sort. I'm making myself sick over it. ...
I have this great Johanna gif that I have not gotten an opportunity to use so I'm just going to use it everytime I make a post about my costume. I got the chiffon overskirt cut and sewn together, and pinned in place. I'm going to have to handsew it in place before trying to machine sew it. Then, onto ruffles. so many ruffles... I got a good many made ...
Can it just be time for Dragoncon yet? Tuesday night I got nothing done. Headache was so bad I just laid on the couch and slept until I got up and went to bed. Last night back on the horse, dyed my Donna wig slightly darker, worked on Johanna. Got the top section totally finished - yay! So now I can start on the bottom section. I didn't take any ...
I finished my Johanna wig last night. Then I played with paint on my leather strips, and then I worked on the upper section of the dress. But I didn't take pictures of any of that. I did get up early this morning and cut out some ruffles, gathered them, and pinned them onto one of my insert pieces to see how they were looking. I'm pleased with how fast ...
I went home sick again. Feeling worse than the day before, I'm pretty sure it's sinus stuff. But I'm better today, head's still foggy but better. I did get a little work done last night. I got my base shirt for the "wood" part made. Got the front pleats sewn back down correctly. But I forgot to take any kind of pictures. I watched Project Runway on the couch and ...
Yesterday I ended up going home at lunch with a bad migraine. Meds weren't doing much of anything I felt pretty puke-y, probably from trying to take too much medicine. Went home, slept, felt a little better after that and tried to get some work done. Today it's more of the same. I think it's sinus stuff that has turned into a migraine. Anyway. I got my garment rack out ...
I got the top section of chiffon sewn in place and the edges cauterized. Started on the second section - after I took this picture I got it sewn in place, too. Tonight I've got to finish the back edge because it's really hard to pin and work with stuff on it when it's all droopy because there's no closure. I'm going to go ahead and finish the chiffon upper ...
Got my Anne Boleyn jewelry mostly finished last night - got one more pearl to attach - and the crown to go, but that's one thing off my list. I played around with my Johanna chiffon and got at least the top section figured out. It's not going to be exact but at this point I'm just hoping for a finished costume. Tonight I want to go ahead and get ...
