i need some incentive.

Someone sent me this a while back and I never got a chance to look at it til today - random forum where some of my costumes were posted and I had to share one of the replies: "I wonder if she was auditioning for a series, or trying for an acting job and has downloaded her portfolio? Otherwise that is pretty strange. But, yet another thought, maybe she was ...

a sketch and a wig

I've got a very rough sketch for you today... Well I didn't get any major work done on costumes last night - I spent the majority of the night trying to figure out how to do my Amidala hair now that I have shorter hair. I thought it would be easier actually... but it wasn't, I didn't take into account my shorter layers. I couldn't get it to work. I ...

exhausted

I didn't post yesterday at all! I was just exhausted yesterday, mentally and physically. It was a push to get myself to sew last night... I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall with these costumes and it's just so tiring and depressing. so here's a sketch... I have no idea. I know I drew it in the car going to St Louis a while back, but I ...

Jane progress

I do have a finished piece for tomorrow... I almost finished it tonight but ran out of time. I need to draw a few simpler things - these Amidala ones take too long! Anyway today's sketch... Poison Ivy It doesn't come across in the scan... but there was a delicate-ness to this sketch that I really liked. I stopped working on it because I knew if I kept going I ...

yuck yuck yuck

today was pretty icky. My migraine was still hanging in there, but my nausea was off the charts and I almost went home after lunch. But I hung in there... got home and took a little nap. Then Chase took a face cast of me for my Ms Marvel mask, which actually felt really good on my headache LOL and then a shower. Right now I feel ok. I think ...

More Jane progress, kitchen updates

I got a lot of sewing done last night, enough to make me feel like I accomplished something. I got Jane's top done, except for the little belt piece. Got the zipper put back in, the collar finished, and the sleeves finished. I've got to make the separate little piece for the collar now, and like I said, put the belt piece on. Btw, here's pics of our kitchen cabinets ...

Kevin Buffington

Kevin is here with us, breaking in the futon. I'm thinking about taking him to the midnight release of New Moon on dvd tonight. Haven't decided yet. I thought it would be fun but i'll have to see how I feel closer to the time. Tomorrow we're going to the flea market! I haven't been in ages. I'm going to be looking for a small chair - hopefully a small ...

Snow White sketch

today's sketch is another one from the same time as the Aurora in the last post. This Snow White either has some long arms or short legs LOL Yesterday was Day 3 of Insanity. My legs are really sore... it's great. It's really hard, and I can't do all of it... but I'm getting a great workout. I have a doctor's appointment today so I'm FREAKING OUT. It's just my standard ...
