Why do I have such a short attention span? I work on a costume for a week, and I get so tired of it that I have to put it away for a while. It was that way for Ashlotte, and now again for Caterina. I -swore- that I was going to finish her up today...all I had to do was put in the underskirt, add the sleeves, do the collar, and finish the hat. All in all, it should have taken maybe three hours, tops. The most I've done with Caterina is...move it across the room so it doesn't block the TV. ~dies~
At least I wasn't -completely- unproductive today. Rosenkreuz won my heart again, and I ended up working on my RCO Caterina. It took the entire day, but I finally managed to get all of her pins sculpted. I had forgotten the joys of Sculpy! There were some things that might have been a bit unnecessary, like sculpting the roses instead of just getting some little roses from the store, but I really like how they turned out, so it was worth the time. I even managed to find all the correct paint colours, so they should be all finished up before the end of the night! Very exciting. ^^
I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the patches. I really just want to get them commissioned from one of the ladies that work at the Husqvarna Viking embroidery machine store, but I don't have any spare cash to do that. I may be able to scrape together some spare change for it, though.
I really need to get back on Ashlotte if I'm going to have it finished in time for A-fest. I've finally figured out what I'm going to do for her armour, it's just a matter of doing it. I'm still a little burned out, though. I worked on it non-stop for so long that I don't really want to touch it now. Blah. I guess I will, though.
I should really set up a schedule or something. Day 1: Ashlotte, Day 2: Caterina, Day 3: RCO, lather, rinse, repeat.
