Mulg Submitted

Well, it's just after 2am here and I've finally finished and submitted my photos and writeup on Mulg to Captain Spud over at Lost Hemisphere. I'm glad to have it done, for a variety of reasons. Since it is done, though, I should be able to get a little bit more of a post up this week about putting that together. It's difficult to make sure you get some meaningful pics/ words without having duplicate information. After Spud posts it, I have a post mostly ready to share details of the finished project with you. So exciting! Or as exciting as 2:30am gets around here! lol I'm very tired...

Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
^_^

MulletHem

Wait, what?

You heard me: Mullet... Hem. 

this dress says... 

 

"hi, i'm wearing a poorly fitted potato sack

with an uneven & unflattering hemline"

And hammer pants.

no, Hammer's pants were way cooler than this horribleness

Vogue has really been outdoing itself the last couple of seasons of new pattern releases. This season is no exception.  

Since I lack the time and energy to rail on the hideousness that they are foisting upon the sewing world, and, more importantly, because Lladybird has already said it better, please step over to her blog and bask in the horrid stylings, odd fabric pairings, and just plain strange patterns that are the latest Vogue masterpieces.

LOL

Here's to another busy week. Hope yours is going well.

Making Mulg: Part I

A while back I mentioned that I was working on a project for that fun bunch over at Lost Hemisphere called the Make Something Amazing Challenge.  

As I mentioned before, I'm making Mulg the Ancient. He's a troll, but he's also kind of a mountain, and you don't want to get on his bad side. lol

So last time I had just started playing around with the sculpey, getting the feel of it, testing it out.  Since then I've sculpted, re-sculpted, repaired, and begun painting this guy.  I've actually taken pretty extensive photos of the whole process, but you'll have to wait till they get posted over at the LH blog before I show them all off over here.

However, one of the days when I needed a break from working on Mulg I decided to do a baby Mulg to go with my husband's whelps he is making for the contest.

Here he is getting ready to go into the oven

Under the Weather

Besides being swamped under the current barrage of sewing, painting, and miscellaneous projects I seem to have picked up whatever bug is going around. 

Because I think I'm funny. Also bc it rained last night.

Unfortunately for you that probably means another sewing post-less week here at SWD.

Hope it's a good week for you, and I'll try to get something together for you as soon as I can!

Happy Passover!

Just a quick note to wish everyone a 

Happy Passover

or if you prefer

Happy Easter

or if you prefer

Happy Friday.

Which ever it is for you, make it a good one and take the time to tell your family and friends that you love them.

Beginnings and Endings

If you read the previous post, you know how overwhelmed I've been feeling lately trying to get everything done. Well, life thought now was a good time to throw more at us. In a week filled with work stress for us both, we have also had to rather suddenly say goodbye to a couple people that were dear to us. 

Sometimes I find when things are rough, it helps for a while to do something 'normal.' So I'm going to take an hour and let my eyes dry a bit while I focus on something else and share some minis stuff with you.

Balancing My Interests

I was hoping that this past week I would be able to share with you some more fun things from my geekier side.  I have some fun things in miniatures I am really excited about.  Unfortunately, things got really really really busy so I didn't get any time to share. :( boo

maybe this cute hedgie can do my typing for me?

I love sewing. I love designing and drafting new clothes.  I love finding new textiles. I love stitching things together and ending up with something fun and wearable. I've had the opportunity to wear my new plaid dress three times now and I am still really really happy with it.
