I was off Friday, did I get much done? Not really, but I have accomplished a bit. I was hampered by sinus mess that came on with a sinus headache, which my migraine meds don’t work on — until it BECOMES a migraine a day later and then I can start taking imitrex LOL I do not know why it…

the tomb of doom
I actually did make some good headway on sewing this week, but I don’t have a lot to show for it. I put the skirt on pause until I can think about it a little more. I decided to move onto the bodice base instead. I pulled out that old Simplicity look-a-like pattern for the picnic dress, and cut the…

I still don’t have much to talk about this week LOL Tuesday we went to see Project Hail Mary with my parents. I went into it knowing nothing about except Ryan Gosling in a fox sweater, space, and a creature of some sort named Rocky. I loved it! Now I want to read the book – but I’m in the…

I don’t have a lot to talk about this week. This past week has been vacation recovery. The couch has been my homebase. Kevin’s still not feeling good. I’ve gone over to check on him several times and facetime him a couple of times a day to walk him through taking medicine. Everytime I ask if he wants to come…

great scott
So first off – I finished the dress and I’m much happier with it now. I removed a ton of excess fabric around that front sleeve seam – both from the sleeve and the front panels. There’s still some gathering in the back, but I basically removed it all from the front. It doesn’t look so top heavy on me…

crash out
Yesterday was the day of reckoning for the new disneybound Leia dress. But first, let’s rewind and talk about the rest of the week. First shipment of fabric came in for picnic Padme. I definitely did not get enough but at least I got a coupon I can use to buy some more. Finished painting the buttons and got them…

ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Well as I left off last week, all I needed to do on my new disneybound Leia was to sew the buttons on. And then Saturday morning around 4am I crashed out. Mostly over the belt. I just felt like it was too tall on me and the proportions just were not right. So Saturday morning I dug around on…

i am a material girl
February is flying by. I can’t believe it’s halfway over. Which is nice because normally this time of the year drags. Finished the Lake Tahoe puzzle. This one was fun. I got a new one, same kind as the Jane Austen one – Oscar Wilde this time. It’s a little harder because there’s more areas that look the same. And…

it never rains in california
Another Monday at work and work continues to be a source of anxiety – I had a dream one night last week where my whole family had gone to Paris and as we were leaving, like getting into the security line at the airport, I remembered we’d brought Luna with us and we’d forgotten her at the hotel. So we…

We’re on day 4,528 of being iced in. It’s all solid ice. Not snow. No kids have been out making snowmen or having snowball fights in this – if you threw a chunk of this at somebody’s head, you’d kill them, it’s like throwing a brick. Hasn’t really stopped us from getting out and about as needed though, Chase’s car…

goodness knows
Well I would say last Monday my anxiety over the job thing was at a 5/10. On Thursday it shot up to a 10/10 and on Friday I had to ask Chase for one of his anxiety med pills. Which then made me feel hungover all day Saturday. I also had a migraine all weekend, probably from the stress –…

what a glorious morning
Well, what a crap start to the day. My company is axing our division. Winding down ops in February. Only good news is that the company does want to keep me and move me to another division, so I’m still employed, but sick to my stomach anyway rn. Also I have no pics of interest to post this week, it’s…

I did not try the whole thing on together so it’ll be a FUN SURPRISE to even me at Dragoncon. Lwaxana is finished, mom came over and we…

im starting with the man in the mirror
Well hi, sorry I didn’t update last week. I was in the TRENCHES friends. Still am, but I’m stopping to post today, otherwise I won’t remember everything I need to cover. It’s already going to be dice-y here. First and foremost – my site is breaking again, this time it’s my blog headers. I have a separate plug-in I use…

Saw Fantastic Four this weekend. Really loved it. I wanna live in that world. First up let’s go back to my Padme Lover bodysuit project. I got the new outer layer/lining layers cut, assembled and dyed. Got them sewn together and sewn onto the interior bodice. Got the zipper in, hand-tacked down, got the outer layer sewn in place along…

im only doing this for debbie
Well. That weekend was a disaster. Let’s start with fun stuff first though – I ordered my ribbons for Dragoncon! So last week I said I wanted to be done with costume #5’s base so I could start rhinestoning by the end of the week. I was only a couple of days behind. I did drop the idea of having…
