1st Sewing Saturday.

This is the first thing I sewed on my first ever Sewing Saturday: a halter-top for Alia -


Ta-da! I am very proud of it, despite the fact it's very not perfect. At least I did it! XD I also managed to ALMOST complete my first ever SD faceup for Faceup Sunday! I would've finished but I wanted to give it plenty of time to dry. I'm going to finish it first thing after work tomorrow. It. Is. So. BAD! But, oh well. I knew it would be and, hopefully, I'll just get better and better as time goes by. XD The only thing I like are the eyebrows, I didn't actually do those too badly. But, everything else? YIKES! But, I'll get there. XD

Updates

So, I was supposed to record a body review for my B&G boy the weekend before last but, unfortunately, due to my computer crapping out, I wasn't able to. So, my plan is to hopefully get that recorded to my liking and get it up this week now that my computer seems to be back in action. XD I would do it today but I would want to be presentable for the camera and, frankly, it's sunday and that's not going to happen. Ha!

In other news, I FINALLY managed to pull off Sewing Saturday. What is Sewing Saturday, you may ask? Basically, I decided that I NEED to get better at sewing and, to do that, I need to actually make time to practice instead of just blowing it off. So, a couple weeks ago, I decided to initiate Sewing Saturdays. Every Saturday, unless I have plans, which I usually don't, I need to sew SOMETHING. What? It doesn't matter, just as long as I sew it to completion. I will only break the completion rule once I start sewing more complicated outfits. Till then, I need to start and complete the project same day. I meant to start this LAST weekend but I failed so bad. Luckily, I got off my butt and did it this weekend. I'll share a pic later, more than likely. XD

Also, today starts Faceup Sundays. Same deal as above. I will soon have FIVE blank dolls on layaway and I want to paint them myself. Because of that, I HAVE to get better. So, with my practice head Number 21, I plan to do a new faceup every single Sunday. I figure that, if I do that, by the time my dolls start filtering in this fall/winter, I'll be able to do my own faceups to my liking. XD So, yes!

Okay. As of right now, that's pretty much all I have updates on. Hopefully I'll get to picture taking today and, hopefully, complete my faceup! I can't wait. XD
