GNU Terry Pratchett
It’s been over two weeks since Terry Pratchett passed away, and this is my third attempt to write something about it. Everything I thought of before either felt too rambly or too… too self-important to publish, so I’m taking a different course ( Read more... ) -
Mini sideless surcoat
I've put my sideless surcoat away for the moment, to work on the other half of my outfit plans for Elfia Haarzuilens - my niece's outfit! I'm making a medieval dress and sideless surcoat for her as well, in the same colours as mine though inverted. So her sideless surcoat will be purple, and her under dress blue ( Read more... ) -

It's interesting how stories and inspiration and imagination work - for my SSBB story I have most of the worldbuilding done, a good deal of the plot, but only the first paragraph written.

I had planned to do some sewing on Saturday as well, but because of the freak-out I didn't start until late in the afternoon ( Read more... ) -

First off, I thought I'd share the post-event carnage that is my sewing room:

Time for some designs!
I have some post-fair thoughts that I want to share with you guys, but I'm going to have to put them in some kind of order first. So, in the meantime, have some designs for a new outfit that has been brewing in my mind ever since my Skyrim outfit was done last week ( Read more... ) -
Skyrim cosplay... ish
I've been a bit quiet, haven't I? Most of my spare time has gone into sewing, and a little bit of writing. And sometimes I put on Skyrim or Fable 2, not like I haven't finished them already but it's relaxing ( Read more... )
