being on the pain meds makes me feel slightly drunk and drowsy, and also all over the place, I can't concentrate on anything. which results in this: honestly she wouldn't stay out of my way while I was working on it yesterday (see? wouldn't get out of my lap.) So I think she must think it's for her! I've gotten jack done today; I've alternated between feeling nauseated, head-achey and ...
I dozed off an on yesterday, got the beading on my dress mostly finished (want to go back and add a few more to the top, but technically it's finished), and did something wasn't supposed to do: unwrapped the bandages on my foot. They told me not to, that the doctor wanted to do that at my follow up tomorrow morning. But last night my whole leg was absolutely throbbing ...
Ash and I went shopping sat morning - then I spent all sat afternoon and most of sunday beading Marie. I can't believe it but I'm over halfway done. on my schedule I thought I'd still be doing this well into August. After the beading I just need to finish the sleeves - I need to put together the other blue one, make the second set of blues ones, make ...
I can't decide between 3 costumes for my last dcon costume. I'd been considering an alternate Scarlet Witch Costume, since I could reuse my boots, gloves and wig. That's been my #1 choice for a while. Also thinking of doing a Shadowcat costume, the basic X-Men uniform suit. I've always liked the suit and could reuse it for other characters... but I don't have the hair for it anymore, don't want to ...
here's the dress as of last night: And a couple of detail shots, The detail along the bottom: and the sleeves: None of that is done; I get to sew on all that trim tonight (its just pinned on) and I've got more work to do on the sleeves.
Last night started making the blue trim for the dress. I like how it's coming along. Today I had the doctor's appointment. I hated to go but this was one instance where I wanted to be there and get this taken care of. It was really hurting this morning, to the point after I made it to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I just sat on the counter for ...
got a good bit of work done this weekend, mostly getting all the silver trim done. It's all just pinned on here: And starting on the lower sleeves too, obviously. I started on my blue trim last night, but it's taking a lot longer than the silver did. It's hard to get a pin through the blue fabric, and my fingers were sore from trying to push pins in after ...
So didn't work on anything last night. went on a really lame quest to 3 different fabric stores in search of silver fabric that didn't look cheap, so I wouldn't have to order it online, and didn't find a thing. Then cleaned the house. So for the next costume I'm about to start on, I needed some shoes to mod, similar to what I used for starfire and rogue back in 2005 ...
posting updates without pics is useless, isn't it? Hem is pinned, sleeves are in... but I think I may take the sleeves out (which is a pain, because they were awful to put in) and see if I can squeeze some extra space out of the shoulder hem. I feel like the bodice is sitting up too high, thus the skirt pleats are too high. I think the stomacher is ...
Didn't mess with the sleeves last night. Instead went through and replaced the non-matching ribbons on the inside of my hoops, put a hook and eye in on the waist, re-hemmed my petticoat (it was too long) and trimmed the netting. Pleated and hemmed the false front of the underskirt, finished the edge of the top of bodice and spent the rest of the night fooling around with how the ...
