Under the almost-December weather

Hello, loves. Feeling rather wan and unwell today, which is kind of a perfect match to the changing climate.

Work+chores+socialcalls+minutemishaps+frustrations is the wolf, and a weakened constitution makes for lambchops. One of these days, I will kill this wolf, skin it and have it warm my sickbed while I smile beneath it in satisfied, unabashed, and dark glee.

Fear makes the wolf look bigger than he is -- German proverb

I will conquer this monster. In good time.

For now, I will try keeping work light, and resting more. Perhaps finishing the latest Ureshii post will help. Maybe knitting will. Maybe. We'll see.

We interrupt this work shift with two delightful improvisational renditions of cult classic tunes.

First, a Combination of the James Bond and Pink Panther Themes As a Double Fugue.

Falsies are luff

So, I'm beginning to have a thing for falsies. And makeup.

Oh Ellana, how I love you true.

Production in Process

Hi, everyone. Here are the pictures I took of the costume in the making. I'll most probably be making a list of things I could have improved on at the end of each item. This is also going to be a long, pic-heavy post. All the same, I hope you enjoy your perusal.

The challenges I set for myself were:

A time limit. I gave myself a month to finish the entire project. This was important since I had to balance an eight-hour Monday-to-Friday job as well. Then there's also weekends off, since this was rest and couple time. It didn't help when I fell ill for most of the first half of the month, leaving me with mostly two weeks to put together the petticoat, corset, peasant top, and both skirts.
I must make use of whatever materials I already had on hand. since I am (mostly) a compulsive crafting shopper, the materials I had accumulated over time more or less satisfied most of my needs. Which brings us to...
Expenses. I must not spend more than Php 1,000.00 ($18.00 to $20.00) for extra items and accessories. This includes tights, jewelry, extra fabric and nuances (if necessary), and so on.
