    wigs and dye and spider

    Ugh… so over a year ago — almost two years ago now — I voluntarily changed my work schedule so I could be home earlier in the day but it meant getting up earlier. It was hard at first to get up an hour earlier than I normally did, but I figured I’d adjust. I have never adjusted. Every morning…

    Sunday

    This is also some non-Sunday stuff, but it’s mostly Sunday. I spent the morning being lazy because I was so tired (and sore) from Saturday. Chase actually got out and did some yard work. Then we went and had lunch, picked up stuff for dinner, ran some of dad’s equipment out to him (we loaded up in both our cars…

    new buns hun

    I mentioned this in yesterday’s post, but that post was so long I didn’t want to jam this in there too… besides I wanted to get some pics of them on to add to it, also. So, timeline – From 2004-2015 I used the same brunette extensions that matched my 2004 but hasn’t matched since 2011 when I went lighter…

    I just can’t do it!!

    So, I finished Yoke #3 and it’s all right. It’s not greeeeeat but it’ll do. It’s not like I could try again, there’s no fabric left! After that photo I did take the collar off and inset it into the yoke so there’s no ugly seam sticking out between them. This resulted in a kinda ugly stitch line where it’s…

    a bit of everything

    new magic bands! I’m Jyn, Chase is Cassian, Kevin is K2SO. I may wear this new one instead of my Haunted Mansion band… my Haunted Mansion band will always kinda be my “AP Year” magic band. Speaking of which, our APs officially expire tomorrow. Anyway, Kevin got to open the box with me, he’s excited! This is our first time…

    I hate everything

    I had Friday off so I worked solid Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Didn’t go anywhere. Just stopped to eat, sleep, bathe, find new thing to watch/listen to. The stupid weather being crazy made me have a migraine the ENTIRE TIME and it’s still on-going today. I’m ready to rip my head off. I’m so so so sick of embroidering. On…

    go, and never darken my towels again

    I’m breaking this up into sections so I don’t forget everything I need to talk about because my brain is fried. 1. Art I’ve done a few more in my little Star Wars project since last week. Here’s Kylo Ren: whatever Here’s Lando: meh not happy with how his clothes turned out. Heres Ahsoka: Pretty happy with her! I started…

    A super quick art post

    I managed to finish my prequel trio!! So I’ll have all 4 sets available as prints at Visioncon. Here’s Anakin His pose ended up being stiffer looking than I wanted but OH well. Obi-Wan: I like how this one turned out, pretty happy with it. I decided to put them both in their Clone Wars looks… more interesting to draw…

    Rogue One art

    I have absolutely no progress to show on my embroidery because I mean, it all looks the same. Hi here’s another flower it took me 4 hours of my life and it looks exactly like the other 24 I’ve done already. I am ALMOST done with the bottom half. I should finish it up this weekend. And my hope is…

    My life is nothing but embroidery

    I embroidered all weekend long. Like all day Friday non-stop while I had the day off. Found Unsolved Mysteries (the old Robert Stacks episodes!) on Amazon Prime and just dug in. All day Saturday, just stopped to run out to breakfast with my parents and a few errands (needed more embroidery floss). Sunday morning I took a break to start…

    Some art and some embroidery and a day off

    I misspelled embroidery in the title and it was “broidery” which I think is the manly bro version of embroidery. So I finished a couple of other art things recently, in that Star Wars series I’ve been doing. First up is Luke I’m pretty happy with how he turned out. And then Han Pretty happy with this one, too. I…

    some art, some stuff, some dolores

    It’s been a long week, I had a dentist appt that I thought would be short and easy and it wasn’t, it totally wiped me out. Not from like, the actual work done, but from the anxiety over it, before and after. Ugh. But I’ve spent all week printing my costume photos in the evenings which has been a lot…

    Lots of art stuff today

    Sorry I haven’t posted recently, I’ve really been buckled down trying to finish up the website! I’m almost there! First off, here’s some more from the SW art project… POE! I was blessed with a good reference for this for his face. I really like how it came out. BB8! I said I wasn’t going to do the droids but……

    Where did I leave off?

    Let’s see, what art have I not posted yet? Han! I’m pretty pleased with this one. Oola. I’m ambivalent. It was hard to find good, clear references at the angle I wanted. Aayla! I like this one. It was fun. Anakin… not crazy about it. I left it alone for a couple of days before coming back to finish it…

    Some jedi, and a traitor

    Last night I drew up old Obi-Wan… Then Qui-Gon… this one is another fav. Ahsoka! I used a shot of the Disneyworld Ahsoka as a reference. And Finn! Lastly, I had started on an Anakin but I’m not terribly happy with it, I may start all over on it.

    More Art!

    A little more refined today. When I did the first two night before last (Leia and Rey) I was just enjoying sketching and colouring quickly. I slowed down a little on the two last night and they look a little more finished. Padme is my favourite so far. I’m very happy with how this turned out. I wanted to do…
