Helpers...

As I mentioned earlier, I've been making costumes and working on them like mad. I've taken a few pictures of the help I've gotten, and thought I'd share those with all of you! <3


He was laying stretched out on his back, attacking the fabric as it came through the feeder, but when I turned on the camera he sat up - sort of - to give me a dirty look.


I had tried the sleeves on while Tori was watching me, and then the phone rang. I left the sleeves and the child and went to find the phone, and when I turned around, there she was! She has one of my WHR sleeves on each arm, and an extra round cuff piece on her head.


I was sitting on the couch attempting to sew buttons on a costume. Tonic was attempting to subdue the string, and Tori was attempting to sit on my lap before accosting the cat. The camera was handy, and this shot was completely accidental. But I still like it...


Tonic was rolling around on the floor while I was trying on my WHR skirt after I finished the hem. He looked so cute, so I decided to take his pic...I ended up putting the camera on the floor (after several shots from above that I wasn't happy with) and this pic was the result. He's so cute...

I've had so much help, I don't know how I've gotten anything done! XD

I'm Lazy

Yes. I am Lazy. With a capital L. ^.^; But because I love you all, here's another update of my life at this moment. The power source on my compy has apparently died, so I'm currently using the Sony lappy while I'm at home. The Sony has no working cd-drive, so that means I have no music and no dvds until I spend the money to buy a new power source for my compy (the converter thingy that you put the plug in...). Fortunately, those are cheap. Unfortunately, cheap doesn't equal happy...or even affordable at the moment. Ah well. I will live with the lappy for the time being and get a power source after I get my student aid check in a few weeks. Besides, I'm going to be on vacation next week and most of the week after, so I only have one week at home with the lappy. u.u;

Victoria has been accepted full time at Headstart, beginning August 29th. Yay! She's excited about going, and I'm happy to get her out of what appears to be a bad situation at daycare - the child who normally can't wait to get rid of Mommy when dropped of with a sitter (I take her to a friend's on occasion or when my mom or my former in-laws have her) screams her head off and throws tantrums when I leave her now. It's been going on for a couple of months now, and it's just getting worse. I think it specifically tied to one other child there, but I'm not sure and since Tori's leaving, it doesn't matter much. I think it will be good for Tori to be in a more structured environment with children her own age. Also, it's a huge relief financially since I am going back to school and taking a huge paycut to do so. w00t.

Costume Pics!

Pictures of the costumes-in-progress. An easy way for someone lazy like me to update! ~.^;

First, my Witch Hunter Robin costume! It is mostly done; I just have to make some gloves. These pics were taken by Logan Adams. <3







Next, Micah's Lloyd Irving costume, from Tales of Symphonia. His costume is nearing completion...As you can see, I got all the buttons on the shirt, but the pants need some work. o.o;; These pics were taken by me!
