The studio is a busy place to be right now.

I've gotten back into sewing so I can make a couple of costumes for Halloween and a NIN concert. One must bring one's A game when going to a NIN concert. Especially if it's in Vegas and you're going to be sans children.
Sadly I discovered today that my sewing maniquin is out of commission due to some shabby construction and a too heavy load and the "help" of my cat. He's been using the shelter it's been providing as a hidy hole for the destruction of bugs he's caught. Big bugs. Scary bugs. GIANT SCARY BUGS! This was a very unpleasant surprise. So now everything needs to be washed and repaired and the cat needs...I dunno, it needs to not be bringing up giant scary bugs into my studio space. It especially needs to not eat and then regurgitate said giant scary bugs all over my studio. Not ok.
On a side note, Lame is hard to work with and gold foil is worse than glitter. In order to work with gold foil, you need to have patience, steady clean hands, and a high tolerance for things flying away on you. I don't think I have any of those right now.
