I took these pics for a facebook last night so I thought I'd share them here, too, and expound on my post. Several years ago I was obsessed with the different variations of Disney Princess costumes at the parks. I collected photos from all the parks, the parades/stage show/meet-and-greet variations... I had a huge collection saved on my computer. Somewhere during that brief obsession I came across a ...
Wednesday night and last night I worked on the new shrug. Got it finished up last night: Besides being a bit smaller, I also opted to line it in the same black taffeta I used for the bodice lining, instead of two layers of the velveteen. That helped cut down on the bulk a bit. I also interfaced the collar this time. I ran to Hobby Lobby yesterday afternoon and ...
After curling and recurling the side ponys like 12 times I finally settled on some curls I like. They still stick out a little too far, and I messed one of them up (cut the elastic off by mistake, ugh), but I think at this point I'm sticking with them. And I finished remaking my shawl but I have no photos. Why? Because I'm still not happy with it. It's not ...
ugh! it's monday again. Starting to feel sad about not being at DragonCon Thurs-Fri. (Not really so much Sunday because usually by Sunday I'm ready to go home LOL) I think it's because I've been looking back at old pictures a lot recently and feeling nostalgic for "old" DragonCon. I've been wanting to do another "look back" post... I might do that after this one. I was off work early ...
So you know Monday my car had to have 2 new front tires and an alignment. Got that done. Today I went to leave for work, and my battery is dead. Wouldn't take a jump. Chase had to take me to work and then I had to beg a ride from mom since I'm off early today. Last night we had a good dinner, Chase put a roast in the crock ...
On Friday, I got a new dishwasher I had a major panic attack at the dr, didn't get to have my checkup, got sent away in a wheelchair with a prescription for xanax On Saturday, I had to buy two new tires for the Fit I celebrated not one but TWO 65th wedding anniversaries Went to a Harry Potter party On Sunday, I got a new laptop! I had a ...
I have 3 topics today. 1. The Flipping Dishwasher Chase and I have been without a dishwasher for over a year. It gave out last year... Chase tried to fix it but it was shot. (It was pretty old. Came with the house.) We FINALLY went shopping for a new one 2 weeks ago, picked one out at Home Depot - I talked about a few days ago. Mom offered to sit at ...
We had a nice weekend, spent Friday evening-Sunday morning at my grandparents. I also FINALLY got Snapchat to work with an animal face: A few weeks ago Mema was ironing and ran outside for something or another... the cat knocked the iron over onto the floor and caused a lovely burn mark. They are having to get new tile put in but I'm glad I captured Catty Bob's attempt at ...
Wednesday night, I focused on getting the sleeve mock-up finished up: Pretty happy with the shape. Somewhere I have a bag of tulle I want to stuff them with but I didn't have the energy to look for it. I also got the trim along the neckline quickly sewn on, though last night I went back and tightened it up a little. Chase helped me get my stencil cut out ...
I was going to work on the shawl last night but I didn't feel like it... instead I dug out some leftover pink lining to start looking at a mock-up for the sleeves. Beyond cutting them out and pinning them I didn't really do much more than that. I trimmed up the shape of the second one, but of course that's not the one I took photos of. Tonight I'll ...
