Project goodness!
Dec. 8th, 2006 08:46 amI've got oodles of projects to work on and I love it. :)
I went down to help with 12th night sewing and took home some of the button holes to work on. Hand work is very zen for me, so I'll probably work on those tonight while I'm watching Doctor Who with the_doctor.
I got the rest of the needed supplies for the chickunz project. I had to give it a test run last night even though I was totally wiped out (new toys, must play!). I think it turned out alright, but I also think that I'll get better the more I do.
While at costume supply I got some strings of fake pearls to braid into my fake hair. I plan to have tiny faux braid, and a braided and pearled faux bun. I also got some wire at costume supply and made one test pearled hair pin. I think it turned out really well. Now I just have to figure out how to do the horn like bits at the front and my hair will be oh so Ventian.
I'm wondering how much personal sewing I'm really going to get done in time for 12th night. I've got one dress I'm fairly happy with, and some others that I'd be okay with wearing, but I really want to switch over to more persona appropriate styles now. I'm also planning on losing weight between now and then and the style I want to do is very fitted. We shall see. I may just decide not to stress it and go with what I've got in my closet already.
Now I'm even more excited for my loose gown/ ropa. That over my Venetian will keep me toasty warm and I will look fabu!
