graffiti_marinaStarted sewing again. I cut the pieces out for Luna and I'm gonna wear it. Only because I paid all this money especially the wig, I might as well. Even if it's just for photos. I started Elizabeth's mock up. I need to draft a pattern for the collar and find a free pattern for the hat. Also need to draft a pattern for the boots but I plan on buying all of the fabric on payday. I just might go ahead and work on Pokemon trainer because I have nothing else planned. Wait scratch that, I just remembered a pattern I have for Aerith still exists downstairs and I may be able to get that one done. I don't think it'll be a problem? but I am prioritizing Luna and Persona first. Finally got the cats nails trimmed. We saw Elio today and not gonna lie, I almost teared up at one point. It's nice seeing an original Disney film.
Saw how hideous Labubu's are....then ended up buying two just a couple months later lmaoooo. I have made an exception for those two and perhaps the purple one that's hard to get. Oh and I also got some of the Stitch Eat Something Before Sleep. The first store that wasn't official that claimed they sold originals, well, most of the reviews after I purchased them said they were fakes. Fast forward to two weeks later, I'm guessing I lucked out because they had the official holographic sticker and the box matched the official ones. The quality was really good too. I went back and looked at some more reviews and it looks like the seller is shady and would mix in fakes with authentic ones. It drives me nuts that bootlegs even exist. So, Shein has the official Miniso store on their platform, so I bought from them. They are 100% legitimate once they got in but I ended up getting a duplicate and one other I didn't want so I might sell it. I wish these weren't so hard to get in the brick and mortar store. One more store I found on Aliexpress happens to sell legitimate ones they get directly from the store and they have overwhelming positive reviews compared to the other store. I'm going to try one last time but just get the one I want directly, which is the secret one lol. It's cute and I figure that trying for more blind boxes will not be in my favor.
Going to Des Moines in just one more week. Looking forward to it and finding some things to do for vacation fun. But before vacation, I have one last week to be at work. I volunteered for I Day and training starts Monday afternoon. I almost felt like backing out but then remembered that I'm getting out of work for free on Wednesday hahaha. It's a long ass time but I'm probably going to go home after we're done and it beats sitting in the office during summer while half of the building is empty.
I had a crazy dream last night! So, I had a dream that I entered into a cosplay contest. I made Ariel's gown from the limited edition doll that was released in 2019. No specific one but it was at a convention and once I got into the backroom where you wait to get judged, I noticed that my gown still had pins stuck near the hem because it wasn't finished. Then I noticed the bodice was fraying as that wasn't finished...then the sleeves being uneven....and noticing more and more issues. I started to panic and told my friend helping me when could I find the judges so I could drop out, I was too embarrassed to go on stage with something like this lololol I kept getting told I looked fine but I refused looking like that. Anyway, I woke up in a panic...which probably explains why I started cutting patterns today haha.
