I'm on ur f-list makin a post

So I think a break is necessary from the Olympic Drama Llama.

Because it's just not the Olympics unless there is wank of some kind.

Today I'm watching the games and working on my My Little Pony costume. I'm getting closer and closer to being done - the kicker will be if I decide to make the vines with ribbons or if I draw them on using fabric markers. Anyway, the big project for today is cutting out strawberries and leaves from felt, which I will in turn hand sew on to the jacket.

Twenty-one strawberries have been cut out, nine remain. Thirty two leaves remain. My hand is cramping, so I'm taking a quick break to make a nonsense post about me cutting out felt. Exciting, I know.

Anyway, I'll probably finish the strawberries and then do as many of the leaves as my poor, abused hand can take for tonight. Also, somewhere in all of this costuming, I have to drag everything out from under the bathroom sink and reorganize, as my husband bought me a shitload of stuff at Bath & Body Works that can't live in the bags on the dining room table. Husband also bought me a Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book (pink edition) yesterday, too, but that was much easier to put away than the stuff from Bath & Body Works.

So I need to order some gloves (or go to the local party supply store and see if they have any) that I can modify because I need something to put over my arms. Also need white shoes. Well...I have white shoes, but there's black on them too. Ideally, a pair of white clogs would work, but I'll settle for something different if I can find something else I like.

Mmmm, back to cutting out strawberries.

Ummmm... as an aside, feel free to throw something heavy and blunt at me (maybe a discus in an olympic theme) if you've explained this before and I've forgotten, but... "My Little Pony" costume?

The wanktastic-ness that is the Olympics has been discussed in the last couple of posts, mostly me sighing and rolling my eyes at the Russians being, well, Russians. Interestingly enough, I did have a complete stranger comment on one of the entries, so obviously someone is reading them. X3

Anyway, our cosplay group is making a bunch of costumes based on 1980's pop culture/cartoon icons. Care Bears, My Little Pony, Jem, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....you see where I'm going with this. :3 Anyway, I'm having fun with this, and I'll have to post a picture of me and my pony so you can understand exactly WHY I cut out 30 felt strawberries. And then will sew them all to a jacket by hand.
