what is going on in here on this day
Oh my god I’m back again with my 25th dragon con recap. It’s been over a week so I’m probably going to struggle to remember everything at this point LOL Also work has been full on NUTS since I came back and I hate it. Monday last week we both worked half days and hit the road around 1. Everything…

all my bags are packed
Well, here we are, end of the road – did everything get done? Ehhhh kinda. “Done enough.” Picnic Padme is done. I packed a bag of sequins and a needle and thread to maybe work on in the hotel room. We’ll see if I feel like doing that or not. I got the ribbons dyed, pressed and pieced out. They…

dragoncon approacheth
Let’s start with going through last week’s to-do list project-by-project: Morticia: The only thing off last week’s list is that I got the sleeve lace sewn on. That’s it, but it does mean the dress is done, all that’s left is the wig/make-up/try on and if I have time to add the beading. I did bring the dress and beads…

karma’s a relaxing thought

5 weeks to go
I was going to go count the days until we leave for Dragoncon but I decided that would be detrimental to my mental health, so we’re just gonna say 5 weeks. I did get a decent amount done this past weekend. Not quite to where I want to be but a big hurdle crossed… The main skirt is WEARABLE! I…

don’t take skyrizi if you’re allergic to skyrizi
Here I am, back back back again with hardly any dragoncon progress photos to show yall. Is this the lowest output of summer progress photos I’ve had since pre-iphone days? Possibly. I worked on flowers all week. I’m not done, unfortunately. It takes me about 20 minutes to do each one, so I thought, there’s not that many I can…

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…
