Studio stuffs

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:49:38 GMT

I have tons of work but the list of stuff that needs doing in the sewing studio is now to the point where I can't ignore it any more. I have to move all the books and mags from the crappy old bookshelf to the new shelf in the studio and out in the living room, need to rework all the craft draws that hold everything from riibbon to heat gun, hanging all the everyday clothing I am keeping, move the costumes to their new home, and clean off my cutting/sewing table. ... Basically I need to do a full top to bottom clean and put away. I pray I can get it done tonight so I can get back to work on orders and new winter clothes for myself!

sewing list for today

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:39:23 GMT

Todays sewing list seems to be about a mile long but some of it is payed which is good. I have 2 pairs of leggings to make, 1 pair to finish, replace buttons on a dark teal shirt dress, orphan costume sample for Anne to make, and maybe a new skirt out of the 6 yards of black and white stripe. I hope to get atleast the leggings and sample done today before Skoog is off work tonight.

In other news I got the new zombie/star wars book Death Troopers the day it came out a couple weeks ago and finished it the next day. I would say if you had taken the Star Warsness out of it would have still been a good read. It wouldn't say it was anything to surpising but it was well written and very fun to read. I know it will be a regular read for me, not as often picked up as World War Z but close. I already have 3 people wanting to borrow it to read it so I would suggest any one who thinks they might like it to go out and pick it up.

Skinny jeans!

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:03:12 GMT

I haven't worn jeans in months. Really the last time I can remember was in early May. It seemed cool enough and I didn't want to get a dress dusty with running around and cleaning so jeans it was. I pull my almost skinny girl jeans expecting they wouldn't work and I would be upset about it all day. See I put on weight, alot. Like 20 lbs since I wore these jeans. I pull on my skinny jeans and wouldn't ya know?!! THEY FIT! In fact I might even say they are a touch big in the waist but not the butt area. I now can't wait to keep going to the gym, I had almost lost faith in getting back into some kind of shape.

Making time

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:52:49 GMT

About 6 weeks ago I thought I had gotten my dream job. Working for a huge costume house doing their sewing, my dream job really. I love costumes and I love to sew. Two weeks into the job things went down hill. I was be questioned as to being able to do my job 2 to 3 times a day. People were being fired for no real reason all around me. Finally have a couple more weeks they let as many as were left go and said they would call who they wanted back. I never got a call back. I wasn't sad for the let go, I was sad to not being sewing for money again. I kinda got into a major funk of not caring about work or even finding a job this last month. I let myself relax and get over the job thing. I feel dumb for not trying to find something sooner but I also know that if I had pushed myself I would have been very unhappy with whatever I got. I finally feel ready to put 100 percent into anything I can find now. I know that I have dragged my feet about this job thing but I know what I get next will mean so much to me. So if you have any leads I am ready to bust butt to find something and to keep said job!

What I have been up to....

I have been working on starting my own line of girdles that will be in a full size range and for custom sizes. I have two made up with 6 more designs to come.

Poker face

for all my Gaga fans out there......

Didn't get the job.... I think...

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:44:21 GMT

I applied for the perfect job almost 3 weeks ago. It was with UT doing costume work. It is my dream job, the job that would keep me happy for the rest of my life. My hands were made to sew and make costumes but as it stands the posting is up but you can't see it from the main site and I haven't heard a peep about if I am even being looked at for the job. I want to send a message asking but would hate to be a pest. I just can't decide if it has been long enough and with the posting not up means I didn't get and should get over wanting the job or if I should keep hope alive, and send a message asking where I stand. I really would be so happy if I got this job. It is hard to apply for other jobs when all I think about is this one. BAH!

New man!

packing

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:00:04 GMT

i hate to pack... it sucks even more when you are packing all alone and have to think if someone else is gonna miss what you are packing... I need a packing coach, someone to keep me moving and not get depressed or discouraged. Also how is it I own like 50 pairs of shoes? Really? What was I thinking?!?!

jobs?

Fri, 29 May 2009 14:49:36 GMT

I need a job badly! I have been looking everyday for months with no luck. Anyone out there have any leads they would be willing to share? Please!!!! Pretty please! I'll buy you lunch!

new hair

Sun, 10 May 2009 03:35:44 GMT

I got new hair... still not 100% sure about it, right at 90%. 14 inches just gone....

hair cut?

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 05:59:03 GMT

kinda thinking of getting my hair cut to mid neck length. I have had long hair for almost 10 years now and just don't know if it is a good idea. Now would be the time to do what with summer coming up and all. What do you guys think? Does Rainey need short hair or would i hate myself if I did it?

change

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:47:57 GMT

its one of those times when everything feels like it is changing and you don't have the words to explain to anyone why or how. Things aren't bad just changing and change is scary.

unsure

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 04:10:00 GMT

So far from pasties and pastries show I have gotten one picture of myself. And this picture isn't while I was performing but standing next to Chelsea. You can see about 10 percent of me and thats it. I want to understand what happen. I had a great costume, or so I thought. I felt like I was really on fire that night but it seems that I wasn't enough so to over come drinks or the cold. I kinda feel shitty about this, and the longer it goes the worse it feels. I know I should get over myself and move on, but I worked so hard.

last night rocked....

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:47:17 GMT

Last night was perfect! Molly Crabapple told me I was awesome. OMG!!!I just about fell out! I posed for her and anything! I did a duet drawing pose set with miss chelsea, so that was perfect already. I hope I can get a peek at the sketches she did of us. Don't know who she is? She started dr. sketchy's anti art school.....

sleep won't come

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 06:50:02 GMT

I want to sleep but I have a rough head ache that just won't go away. I can't lay my head down to sleep because it hurts to put pressure on my headache. Taken painkillers but they haven't kicked in. Boooooooooo....... This is the first time in years that I haven't been able to sleep.

Now you fucked up! You have fucked up now!

Tricked by the universe!

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:27:20 GMT

I started doing yoga on a daily basis mostly to get to doing a standing back bend and to loosen up my hamstrings for when I perform. But as I was resting in child pose I realized that 15 min of yoga had become more then just stretching. It was becoming a daily devotion for both my body and my spirit. I never intended for it to be anything other then just a quick work out. I didn't realize I had lose touch with my soul as cheesy as that sounds. So now I really can't stop the yoga! I will feel guilt from two angles! Oh well whatever it takes I guess.

I'm a witch!!!

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:23:06 GMT

I just made high spf sunblock that doesn't smell like sunblock! I also put it into a nice pump so that I won't have to stick my fingers into a jar. I can't wait to use this! I hope this will get me back to wearing sunblock and lighten up my arms to match my legs and belly. Oh and it smells like zydrate!

first of many

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:49:46 GMT

I just put my first cake made with my kitchen aid mixer in the oven. I can't wait to start baking more! I hope this gets me moving to cook more!

selling costumes

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:17:55 GMT

Yup I'm gonna do it. I want to sell my old ren fair costumes. I have about 8 complete outfits, anything from a pirate to a lady. I am also going to be letting them go for a steal. If I could get about 15 bucks per outfit that would be ideal. I mainly want the space back in my closets. I have so many boxes and closets that I can't close or find anything in that it is time. So you want a costume? Or know someone who does? Let me know! PLEASE!!

Seeing my dad

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:42:28 GMT

I'm gonna spend the mid day with my dad today. He is the one who reached out and asked if he could pick me up for lunch. My sisters would say that I am a daddy's girl, but I'm not. I grew up with my dad while they grew up with my mom. He and I have a very on off relationship. He is my dad but we don't agree on so many things. Plus he is quick to prove that his is always right and I should always listen to what he tells me. He and my oldest sister don't talk. Pretty much at all, she left the country for a week and didn't tell him. As a rule he doesn't approve of how we live our lives. It is a good thing he lives across town from me and feels it is to far to drive to but once in a blue moon.
