Last night I finally got into the groove of pleating those yoke pieces and actually knocked out the last two pieces. HOORAY! But I don't have a picture of it. Instead I'm just here to update you on my spoonflower fabric's journey across the United States. Yesterday it left Wisconsin and arrived in Cleveland, OH in the afternoon. It left Cleveland last night, so who knows where it will show ...
So Friday I went and got my haircut, and he also cleaned up my Donna wig for me, and forbade me from every putting scissors to a wig again, LOL. I had to go home a funky way, because of awful construction mess on the freeway. It was rush hour and even my back way was slow going, probably took twice as long to get home as it would have ...
Just had a moment at work where I was trying to remember what year it was. 2014? That can't be right. It can't be 2014. Oh my God, it's 2014.
Today's question is... Can I rent/borrow your costumes? I'm mostly answering this question so I have a post to point people towards when they do actually ask this - usually around Halloween, or people asking to borrow/use my costumes for Halloween parties/events, or fanfilms, photoshoots, etc. I'm going to try to be as nice as possible in this post so don't read any sarcasm or ill-intent into ...
So, pretty much all the time I'm wearing a costume dress or skirt, I've probably also got shorts or pants on underneath it. Or, sometimes, for whatever reason, wearing jeans or something over a superhero costume. Exhibit A, B, and C: And for whatever reason, guys tend to want to comment on this in a condescending, snarky way. (I haven't had this happen recently; just something made me remember it ...
Strange coincidence. Or maybe not? All I can guess is strange coincidence. Hotel for the convention I'm going to tomorrow calls me on my cell phone yesterday. I didn't answer since I didn't recognize the number, but googled it afterwards to see who it was. No voicemail left. That wouldn't be all that unusual except I don't have a room for this con (it's close enough we just drive over), ...
Do I have time to rush-make a complete costume for your Halloween party? You've waited til exactly a week before Halloween to ask, and you want it for 1/10 the price of what I would charge even IF I did commissions? Oh, so now you're asking to borrow one of my costumes? So, overall, the answer is...
(recap: July 2nd I caught the side of my foot on a broken, bent sewing needle stuck in my carpet in my sewing room. 7/6 went to the dr and was put on antibiotics and got a tetanus shot.) So my foot got a ton better last week. I had finished the antibiotics Wednesday, and by Friday I was walking normal, I even rode my bike that night. Saturday morning I ...
So. I made & ordered four photo books through blurb.com as christmas presents. All wedding photos, nice hardback coffee table books for my parents and grandparents. I had it shipped to my parents' house, as I always do (less chance of someone walking off with it than at our house). I warned my mother not to open it when it arrived, that it had presents in it. I figured ...
So one day last week at work, none of the folks who normally accept our deliveries from UPS or Fedex were there yet when UPS started banging on the door. So I had to go do it, which I hate doing, but that's another story. The driver was friendly, he chatted about basketball and the weather while fishing our packages out of the various hiding places in his truck. One ...
