Sewing

Spent yesterday evening sewing beads onto a truly impressive cosplay dress. Needless to say, it wasn't mine. To give to a sense of how impressive, I was one of four people sewing on beads for six hours, and that part is only halfway done.

So I'm getting ready for Anime Detour. Had a depressing incident a couple of nights ago. I tried on my blue dragon silk dress (the one that I got made in Thailand). It doesn't fit. This is a first for me.

I was inspired to work on my Chidori cosplay. I am refusing to worry about its faults (my hair is to short, the blues on the sleeves don't match, it is a very "my first cosplay" sort of outfit, I don't have a teenagers body). I worked on it. Not much left to do.
-shop for a bazooka (accessories)
-gold buttons for the shirt
-hem the skirt (after figuring out how short I'm willing to go)

Getting Healthier

Pretty much feeling fine today. Throat's dry, vaguely stuffed up. Sleeping and taking it easy for three days did help.

Played in the back yard for about 15 minutes, killing weeds. I love my hoe. It's a family heirloom. We have peas, lettuce and radishes sprouting. Nummies soon. As for flowers, we have crocuses (a steady supply for the last two weeks), daffodils and some odd white thing that we didn't plant. I'll take a picture for ID purposes when it is daylight again. I look for sprouts in the bulb patch that we planted last fall along the sidewalk. So far there's lots of greenery, but only crocus flowers (the daffodils are from previously planted patches). Spring!
