it’s dooooooone
So I got home yesterday and instead of jumping into the last little bit of embroidery I needed to do, I decided I was mentally ready to dye my shoes and lining. Shoes were first and took to the dye beautifully: After they sat and dried for a while, I put them back in again during round 3 of dyeing…

I’m almost there
Last night I got alllllllmost done with the big spires. I could’ve stayed up another half hour and finished the last one but I was tired, so I’ll finish it tonight. Then I have that one little yellow bit to finish, and then I have to figure out the shadow Xs in the upper spires — I didn’t trace them…

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…

i can see the light at the end of the tunnel
…and hopefully it’s not a train. I worked pretty much non-stop on Bespin all weekend. From the time I got home Friday through around 10:30 last night. Stopped Saturday to run to the bookstore and dinner with my parents. And for a couple of naps. Again not a great photo of it, the lighting in our bedroom is awful and…

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…

Visioncon!!
Visioncon was awesome, I’m going to try to write everything down before I start forgetting stuff… though I’m sure I’ll still forget something anyhow! Thursday I got home from work and finished packing… It was really like a Dragoncon trip. Had my Dcon bin, 7 garment bags with 2-3 things in each of them, 3 wig boxes, makeup case, our…

Bespin Leia stuff
So at this point I’m almost done with all of the yellow spires… I have to finish the upper center, and I’m probably going to redo the middle left upper spire too – it was the first one I did and it doesn’t look great. The bottom section with the flowers is totally done. Once I finish the spires all…

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…

VisionCon 2017!
I’ve mentioned it before but here’s my whole big post about it! I will be a guest at VisionCon in a few weeks, Feb 24th-26th! I’m super excited. I have never been to VisionCon and everything I’ve seen looks awesome and the con staff have been wonderful to work with already! I will have a booth in the exhibit hall…

I am a train
Trying to think of another post title that’s not “monday again” or something and I typed the first thing that came to mind. “I am a train.” OK. (I’m pretty certain that’s due to having Arlo Guthrie’s “The City of New Orleans” stuck in my head the past couple of days thanks to it playing in the grocery store on…

Southern Fried Pics! (and Dolores)
I had a great 3 day weekend just chilling with my grandparents. Went up Thursday after work and we went to eat at Red Lobster… clam chowder yay! I got a decent amount of embroidery work done over the weekend. Still clocking behind where I want to be but I’m starting to feel more confident. Catty Bob was curious but…

1 step forward, 3 steps back
So this morning I realized I did some of my Bespin Leia stuff in the wrong colour over the weekend. I dunno if I’ll be able to fix it since the needle leaves holes in the fabric. I guess I can try to unpick the wrong part (some of the interior petals within the flowers) and put the needle back…

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…

Sewing McSewerson
Originally I named this post “work work work” but then the permalink came up as “work-work-work-5” which means I’ve named 4 other posts at some time or another “work work work” so I changed it to Sewing McSewerson. Even though I didn’t actually do any sewing this weekend but I did a lot of embroidery so that counts. We stayed…

she’s a total blam blam
We had to buy a new printer. Ours kicked the bucket. Boo! I’ve got a ton of stuff to print for VisionCon so we ordered a new one and it should arrive tomorrow. Yay. I got two nice 8×10 display portfolios for Christmas that I’m going to print off a lot of my costume photos to display on my table…
