Ginko progress as of tonight. Hoping tomorrow I can add the sleeves, maybe the facings/collar? Trying to get the sewing on this done by the end of the month. Once the blazer is done I can draft the skirt (need the jacket to see how long I can make the yoke on the skirt) and then the Dickie.

Dealing with a fully-expected headache today, but I don’t have time to skip out on working on things anymore. So I’m working on pieces that require no real thought. Bias tape, flat-lining, maybe cutting out and stitching together my bodice lining.

In other news, I moved/consolidated the tub of stuff I need to re-home, into the front closet with the costume that need photographing and re-homing. That will be a project for March, but at least I got the stuff out of my way for more immediate needs.

This week has been so incredibly cursed that I have not been able to bring myself to touch my cosplay for fear of wasted time and materials. But, I NEED to get back on track, like, now.

This week has been… R O U G H.
I had a massive sob fest 2 nights ago and I’m still feeling some of the after affects, I think I injured my face.

My shell for my bodice was deemed an unsalvageable failure when I took another look this morning. I’ll be tackling attempt #3 tomorrow. I need to get this functional, because I’m so afraid I am going to have to remake the pieces for the Ring trim…

I’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones.
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Ya know I don’t have any feelings one way or another on Taylor Swift. I’m not a fan, which is not to say I dislike her but to say that her FANS are kind of out there and I am not them.

Booked myself a hotel room for a con in March but don’t know if I’ll actually be able to pull it off. It depends how much I have done by the middle of January.

Just trusting the process. It’s a lot of work, and my neck is a wreck so I have to pause, but the work is worth it for the look. I’m learning a lot and will know exactly how to do my new Chibiusa wig later, along with my own up-do wigs! I’ve seen improvement as I progress.

Doin’ a wee bit of chores — not everything, but trying to get some of the worst piled-up stuff cleared so I can get back to crafting.

Realized I had a gap in the part that I needed to fill so excuse the one loose piece in the second photo. But, wig progress!

I’m not the praying type, or the kind to openly wish ill on anyone… but there’s a few people out there who, I eagerly anticipate their natural expiration dates.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.
‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.
But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Needs varnish/sealant, the crystal, and she’s done.
I’ve been feeling Not Great about the costumes I’m working on, so I hope that attitude changes soon. I’m not sure what hump I need to get over to feel good again…

Wrapping foam forms in hair is a long, annoying process. Hoping that the end result is still good (and that I haven’t made the bottom hole too small to fit over the bottle stub, or I’ll have to make something else for that.

I will never understand parents who do not want their kids to watch anything that contains portrays of darkness/evil/bad things. Like, they’re portrayed AS BAD THINGs in the media and that is the point???? How do you teach people to recognize evil if you never expose them.
