So guess what! I actually did some sewing over the weekend. Not a lot. And I didn't take any pictures. So uh... does it count? I'm not sure. Haha. But I'll get to that in a minute. Ok so first order of business is I saw a news story that The Princess Diaries is getting a 3rd movie. And that made me nostalgic for the books. I LOVED the books! ...
OK! So in my last post I talked about being done with the Little Mermaid costumes! Well, Monday afternoon I rode with mom over to the theater to help add some straps to the mermaid tops - even though the mermaids were all wearing black leotards under the tops they were still having some issues keeping them on and in place, so we just added some quick black straps to ...
I hope everybody had a nice thanksgiving! Let's start off with my overdue Amidala photos. First, a few from the con. Fancy couch (I want one like this) I probably posted this one last week but oh well. And at Overton: "I want to take a picture in that chair" And now on with the show. Monday I finished up Ursula! Took it up to the school and thankfully it ...
Spent the last week going to play practice, having a migraine, and working on the nun. The robe isn't much to look at. Followed the pattern exactly for this -- I did make it a little bigger because I'd rather work down than have it be too small. This is a really thin black satin and I there are times it's almost leather-like, especially when interfaced, so I think that's ...
Last week was nuts. We had Kes starting Saturday and Kevin starting tuesday. I was working overtime plus having to go after work to check on this or that meant I wasn't getting home most nights until 6-6:30. So I was totally exhausted every single night. I was working overtime so I could be off on Friday -- spent the day helping Kristie with her book stuff, went out to ...
Warning you now, I have a ton of photos today. Going to start with probably the least interesting thing. Sims screencaps. And they're not even screencaps. I literally just took photos of my monitor, because I'm lazy. It never fails that anytime I'm in the final crunch of finishing stuff before a deadline, my brain is like, "Ok, let's play the Sims now." I started up a new game this ...
So mom and I have been working on a simplified version of Glinda's "Popular" dress from Wicked. I keep saying it's a theater project, but it's not really for a play - but it's for a theater related project. Anyway, we went a few weeks ago and picked out fabric, and mom has been working on the skirt. I'm in charge of the bodice. I sent the lining off with ...
Ignore the packing going on behind me. I got the hook and eye attached and the sweater I'd been wanting from modcloth came, so I put it all on together. I do wish I had some yellow flats I could add red bows to to wear with it :) Last night I packed all my clothes for the trip which was probably dumb because I'll likely have to break into it ...
I've never had free time in August. It's so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better for us so we just grabbed umbrellas and went. I ...
Happy Monday :P It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I've been planning to make for our next Disney trip - just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a lot of kids there and Chase and I enjoyed looking ...
