Today is an unscheduled Rest Day. Woke up feeling flatter than a pancake, which isn't suprising seeing as I came close to passing out twice in the past 2 days.  Silly body still hasn't quite settled down from the cray cray.

cos there "has to be a photo", here's one of me in my new corset, made from the TV edwardian pattern.  1" cut down from the top ( Read more... )

Ok, not quite cos I get October off.  Except not really, if Bris'nova is the first weekend of November, I have to make Effie in October ( Read more... )

I'm one of the lucky ones experiencing LJs  RTE errors, and I can't even fix this entry in HTML. - usernames are tagged with the wrong photos as LJ is randomly moving them around.  (time to unpack the angry eyes)

just sat for the ( Read more... )

On the weekend I just couldn't seem to push myself.  Possibly cos I woke up early on Saturday with a nasty headache, went back to sleep & woke up with the same headache that had migraine ambitions.  Took the $10 pill & it went away after a short while.  Thankfully, though the downside is that I'm left a bit zonked for a couple of days.   I'll still ( Read more... )

Tonight my commission item should be all done & dusted, what a relief.   I can then get back to finishing the snoring boring putty greens shirt.  That comes before my ACG ball costume for the 27th of this month, cos I've used the pattern more than once more than once, and it won't take that long to put together.  A couple of accessories might, but ( Read more... )

My bad choice to not get takeaway to eat in our room cos I could see myself spilling it on my or worse poisoned_kitty's white costume.  I know how clumsy I can be and all that white was just asking for food for 'ron.  However none of us noticed how long our food took to get served at the restaurant across the road from the hotel.  They'd been fast serving lunch ( Read more... )
