cinagelTiiiired...and shoulder is all screwed. I slept wrong. ARG! Going to bave to bug Capt'n to pop my shoulder blade back in place.
OTHER than that? I had a fantastic weekend with Trish, Shing, Jen, Ty, and Kyt. We had hardcore Uber craft/Art day which was pretty productive for most of us. We also took a trip to Creole Cafe to celebrate Trish's birthday....and we bought her a very tacky cake. VERY tacky cake. It was a fantastic weekend! I love my awesome friends!
Yes Trish, I WILL be getting my Etsy store up soon.
Must project ramble and get it out of my system!
Project Rambling:
I started distressing work on my Steampunk duster. Just the first coat of paint on it right now. It already looks pretty beat to Hell with just the prelim. Going to do some splatter on it including a little red here and there to look like blood splatters. Also want to find a way to make the coat look a bit dusty as well. I'll figure it out. Its been fun trying! Going to do a little work on the vest later. Just a bit to give it character, but not as much of a beating as the duster is getting. My shirt was a thrif find so it already looks pretty worn. May do a little dirt around the collar. Haven't desided yet. After all that then I finaly start work on the "gun" belt and the goggles redux. Slowly my Regina costume is getting the overhall I wanted to give it. Pictures eventually, when I get off my butt. Also I'll need to knock heads with Dan on us building a Chainsaw for the costume. He told me he's really wanting to help me build it.
Also started putting together my new dollhouse or as I've been calling it my "Victorian summer home". Its a slow process but its been a lot of fun. I'll try to take photos of this as well but there isn't much at the moment to take photos of. Probably next time I pick up the project I'll snap a fiew...the sash windows are so teeny and adorable!
Just bought myself a pattern for a Regency morning dress from Reconstructing History. Always had good luck with that pattern company. Months and months and MONTHS ago Colleen and Ty bought me some beautiful light orange taffeta with yellow enbroidered flowers on it. I LOVE and felt it would make a fabulous Regency gown. I have absolutely no idea where I plan to wear a regency gown..Maybe LoJ someday? I donno. But damnit, I'm making one since I've been wanting to make onefor the last two years. I'm making one out of sheer principal!
Sometimes I get excited about these type of projects then I end up discouraging myself from making them simply because I think "What am I going to do with that?!" But I have to remind myself that I want to create these things because the creating process brings me a lot of joy and accomplishment more than wearing them somewhere. Finding a place to wear them is more of an excuse.
