    Jane updates, etc

    Just saw a boom mic go across the top of a screen in an old Friends episode. But that’s not what this post about, I just saw it so I typed it LOL Are dogs like people, when it comes to remembering things that made you sick once? What I mean by that relates to this story: When I was…

    Snow White art, Jane updates

    I know it’s been done before, but I decided to draw each girl wearing another princesses’ main dress. I ended up doing two versions, one with the dress in the “normal” colour (ie, Belle’s dress on Aurora was yellow) but then did a second version that I thought was a little more fun (ie, Belle’s dress on Aurora was blue…

    So far today…

    I got up. Watched Discovery Health and finished a couple of new pics. Fixed lunch – Mac and cheese and watched the last episode of Models of the Runway (so glad whats-her-face went home!) Took a nap. Had weird dreams. Curled my hair. I don’t know why. Reorganized boxes in the prop room. I was able to unpack a few…

    Starting out on Jane, Tiana art

    I have been busy! Yesterday was crazy at work due to several mixups, then I got home to find Indy had thrown up everywhere. I spent an hour cleaning all that up. The only thing that really works is Oxi-clean, which has bleach in it, so while it cleans the puke up really well, it leaves the spot on the…

    I slept SO hard last night. And I dreamt I was at Disneyworld, which should be happy, except in the dream I was super mad at Chase! LOL. today’s princess is Jane (Tarzan), dressed up 🙂 I started on my skirt last night, got the pieces cut out and pinned together. I hope to get the majority of the work…

    Yellow fabric, and Mermaid art

    I got a LOT done on my corset last night – I started cutting and putting the boning in, only to realise I’m not going to have enough. I used up so much of my last batch with Anne Boleyn that it went a lot faster than usual. I went to order more this morning only to find the place…

    Watching Mulan, and mermaid art

    Today’s princess isn’t Mulan.. but I did watch it last night for the first time in a long time. I bought the dvd on friday and we watched it last night. I forgot how much I liked that movie! Expect another Mulan piece sometime soon. 🙂 I’m not crazy about the first two I’ve done, so I want to try…

    Updates and mermaid art

    2 apologies, the first for not unlocking yesterday’s picture on flickr. It’s unlocked now. Second, I’m late posting today! We’ve had an accreditation group at my office today so it was busy and crazy. But! Good news. My doctor’s office called and tried to reschedule my thursday appointment for earlier this week, which didn’t work out with the accreditation group…

    Belle wedding dress artwork!

    I had something to write about, but now I don’t remember what it was. Kevin stayed over last night because he’s got a hair appointment after mine today. I’m excited to see how his hair turns out. Today’s princess is Belle. I didn’t want to just do a white version of her ballgown as a wedding dress, so I did…

    Jane and Batgirl updates

    So I’m building a new corset, and it’s different than any one I’ve ever made. For one, I’ve never made a corset with an open front – I had no idea how to do that, and I had to read the instructions 20 times to understand it. But I successfully got the hoop side in – I’m so proud! I…

    Took Kevin shopping last night. He got new jeans, 3 new shirts (including a sweet Star Trek shirt), new shoes, Super Mario Bros for the Wii, a toothbrush to keep at our house, and “Up” Valentine’s Day cards. Good shopping trip over all 🙂 I ordered some supplies I needed for my corset today. Shipping was expensive! What I had…
