Coming down to the wire. I'm in much better shape this year than I was last year but still have a few major hurdles to get over in the next 2 weeks. Out of curiosity I had to go look at where I was this time last year and... uh, yeah I'd say I'm still in a slightly better place this year than last but not by much LOL At least ...
Well here it is, Monday again. 3 weeks and some change until Dragoncon. In the realm of things that are annoying me currently -- I realized about 2 weeks ago that I only put in for Thurs & Friday of dragoncon to be off, somehow I missed the Wednesday. Not a big deal, I went in and added it... but still has yet to be approved. I'm going to give it a ...
Today is starting off great with multiple problems at work after a relatively quiet (aka no problems) couple of weeks. Why do things come in waves like this? Anyway, I won the Lucky Seat lotto to buy cheap tickets for My Fair Lady at the Orpheum. Mom and I are going and I'm mostly excited but also mostly anxious because last time I had to drive downtown it was an ...
So where I left off with Jessica last week was I was pretty close to get it finished. I had to tweak that sleeve pattern once more. But as I kept working on it I was really unhappy with it. The darts I'd had to add just looked awful, the sleeve openings were too low and droopy looking and everytime I tried to press the darts it just seemed to ...
Hey I actually got a good amount of stuff done this past week. I finished hemming the Jessica veils, and then I got the dress pieces cut: It's been kinda hard this past week to show any progress of this on IG, because I'm trying to avoid putting pins in it so I never had the panels pinned together until I went to actually sew them together. She's beauty, she's ...
Well my old desktop computer has once again decided it's not going to connect to the internet so I'm back on my laptop. Blah. I hate writing my blog entries on the laptop. I kept working on my Padme sleeves last week. And I came to the conclusion that this poly charmeuse doesn't hang right. It's just slightly thicker and stiffer and just doesn't hang like a silk would. So ...
We are one day away from June and fully into Dragoncon season now. I finally feel like my brain has "switched over" and it's not a fight to go make myself sew. I'm gonna go over the non-costumey stuff first so I can get it out of my photo feed -- First, last week Chase surprised me with some new Disney wax melts! Friday night we had game night and ...
Well hi I don't really have much to share this week either, though I do feel like I got a lot done. I'm just at the point of both costumes where I'm still in the planning stages for a lot of it so I don't have much to SHOW. For Packing Padme, I got in my lining fabric for the sleeves but I feel like it might be slightly the ...
I really don't have much of anything to post. But I'm here anyway. I did get the site updated last week - new stuff added to the portfolio/costume pages. Also discovered that when I added my Utena page back in february I apparently linked it to the 2007 Utena instead of the new one. I've still been feeling like a slug. No energy, stuffed up, migraine. Today I finally feel ...
So what did I do this past week? Well first I finished off the Marvel outfit. I apparently don't have a "finished" photo and I'm too lazy to walk the 15 feet to take one so use your imagination. The elastic came in and I got it finished up. I meant to put it on this weekend and take photos and a quick video for a making-of video for tiktok and ...
