Well the shows are over. I finished my two commissions. I am now on full on pack and move mode. This weekend we are taking a bit of a vacation. We are going down to New Orleans for one last fling before moving away from the area. Being so close to New Orleans the last 4 years has really been awesome.
The missing of my husband has really taken a turn. I missed him before but now it's really starting to get to me! Only about 3 weeks left!

Laggy Laggerson
It's been a while since I last updated.
I hosted a 4th of July Party that was a Hot Dog Extravaganza! We had such a good time. There were tons of hot dogs, beer, and lots of good friends. It was weird hosting a party without Chris here. We are definitely a party tag team.
Both Shows are open now and running smoothly. I have been working hard on my two commissions. They are both on schedule. I have a first fitting today at 1pm for the Mascot and I am going to have a fitting for the other on Monday or Tuesday.
My mom is coming to help me move. She gets in Monday morning. She doesn't know it yet but I am puting her to work! She gets to sit around the costume shop with me while I finish up my work and then we are Packing, Packing, Packing!

Go go Gadget Planner
I have been watching Inspector Gadget cartoons since they were added to Netflix Instant View! So excited! I freaking love this show!
The last of the two shows opens tonight. I am very pleased with my work on this show. There have been a couple of snags in process but it looks really great. After the show opens the two will run in rep. I am so hands off now! I was planning a relaxing month of July spend lazing around and packing boxes. That is not going to be the case. With these two comissions I will now be pretty busy! But Busy = Money!
It's 12 days until my mom comes to help pack and move. 17 days until both my costume gigs are finished. It's 23 days until our final New Orleans trip and my sister comes to visit.

Gonna get really busy!
I have signed on for 2 freelance jobs. The first is for a local friend who is in a production of Oklahoma at a local community theatre. The theatre doesn't provide costumes so each of the actors has to supply their own. I am building a dress for her. We are buying a pattern and altering it slightly. This one very soon. I am aiming to get it finished by the end of the weekend.
The other job is for a local high school mascot costume. USM's scene shop supervisor build them a fiberglass head and I am building the uniform to go with it. He is a big Rebel Man. I have asked Chrystle to be my assistant on this project. I am going to need lots of help! The Rebel Man needs to be ready to go July 22nd. I am heading out of town that weekend so I am aiming for July 21st!
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now! I feel the need to get a planner and get hyper organized!

Meltdown
I had a minor meltdown today about where we are moving, jobs, and lack of funds.
I am so worried about all of these issues. I just feel lost. I am secure in what I want to do and who I want to do it with, now I just with someone would give me a job and a direction!

Blurb... that's what we shall call these tiny updates that are more like overgrown facebook stati(statusi, statuses).
