First step to cleaning up my office is getting control of my massive pattern collection. I just don't have room to keep them in the plastic bins they're in, it's taking up too much room - I need to find a more space-saving option. I could possibly fit a small file cabinet or similar under one of my desks - but the problem is all of my patterns (except the ...
So last night, I doodled this in photoshop. Not too many changes, mostly just cosmetic things - I want my bookshelf and side table painted white, and I want those two shelf/cubby hole things for holding stuff/as a tv stand. I also want to get my posters and pictures on the wall. I want to get all of that stuff done before I tackle what I want done ...
Last night was spent sewing on ruffles, and then finishing the edges of what's left to hand sew onto the bodice tonight. And also on wigs. I hate my wig for Surprise #2. I tried to make it work last night - added some wefts, straightened it (though it didnt like that much) and just tried to make it NOT look like a cheap $15 costume party 1950s-style wig (which it wasn't, ...
I know folks are probably tired of hearing about my stupid closet, but it's finally finished! So I'm going to go over it once more :) So a question I get asked a lot is "Where do you keep all of your costumes?" When I lived with my parents, the question was pretty easy to answer - we had converted a small half bath into a closet for me to keep ...
Nothing else to say today. Frustrated with my bins at the moment just because I can't find 3 of the tops. Where the heck did they go?? eta: Ok I'm back. I found the tops so I mostly finished off the closet, still got a bit to do - haven't seen some of my costumes yet, but mostly older and small costumes like Lum that I'm not worried about - probably ...
My mini moo cards came yesterday! They have them in a neat new box. I felt kinda sad having to just tape them to boxes, but I got about 20 extra to hand out at cons - not that I ever handed any of my original 100 out - but hopefully I'll remember them at dcon this year. I put as many of them on as I could last night, and was ...
So yesterday when I got home I cleared out the closet in the prop room and started moving my boxes in. Right now I've just got index cards taped to the outside until I get the rest of my moo cards in (hopefully they'll be here tomorrow.) I need to unpack about 2 more big bins, and everything is pretty much done. I'm excited with how it's turned out. (Now I ...
first, today's princess, Padme again :) Last night I really dug in and got all of the costumes I have here right now into boxes. It's a mess! But it's mostly done. I need to go get a few more bins of stuff from my parent's house tomorrow, I reckon I've got about 20 costumes not currently in a new bin. Kevin has been with us this weekend so I didn't want ...
So I've finally dug in and really started my costume re-organization project. To recap - When I lived at my parents house, we converted a half bath into a walk-in closet once they outgrew my room. (And, I swear I used to have a picture of it where it didn't look like crap. Like one of what it looked like when it was clean. But I can't find it, so ...
I'm off work today - going to NYC today! Flight's not til this afternoon - still got a few errands to run, etc. Anyway. I got my office cleaned up and made work-able again. I got some little baskets for my cabinet, so I can eventually organize stuff in there. I also got that new stool - it's much more comfortable than the plain black office chair I had before, ...
