There are moments that my brain
flat out shuts down not understanding what I want it to do. My hat needs ties. That little thing ground me to a halt yesterday
after long periods of ripping out seams and putting them back in. Is this piece in…is this to go out…what
direction out…if I attach this here where will it end up. When building something from scratch, it’s
interesting to watch the process from a little distance.
I have almost two weeks
before Comic Con opens, and that will give me time to reset the shoulder
linings. My dress should have sleeves,
but it’s not getting them. Then again, I
am not as slightly off center as to build four costumes…one for every day. A friend is doing that.
Here, installing the black
cord on G’s costume has been a struggle.
We don’t know what purpose it serves, but it has to be attached to make
the costume look authentic. This black
cord goes from a silver square over his heart, over his shoulder, down his
back, and sideways into another little silver thing. Its use is never explained.
I want to get to my
machine before he wants my table. When
my brain is fresh, I should be able to figure out how to position the ties on
the hat. We almost have lift off
here. Saturday at Comic Con is Costume
day, and 130,000 thousand folks are also nearing lift off for that day. Imagine that.

- Himself: Working on his cord, chair of a business meeting….
- Herself: tonight that I don’t have to go to. Early making a hat, trimming points, and pressing fabrics.
- Reading: The five year old volume on Queen Elizabeth.
- Gratitude’s: That I feel so good this morning.
we are getting there!
ReplyDeleteAll done but the ironing. :)
DeletePerseverance pays off, Mage! You can do this!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed, can hardly wait to see you all in your costumes.
ReplyDeleteMe too. G's is really flashy.
DeleteYou have WAY more ambition than I do.....
ReplyDeleteThank you. No ambition, I just don't want to be hot like I was last year. Basic laziness has spurred me on.
DeleteYou are so amazing and so talented, Mage. I can imagine how much fun it will be.
ReplyDeleteThe best part is that I will be cool and comfortable this year. LOL
